Carbis Bay, a popular tourist destination close to St. Ives, is renowned for its pristine white sand beach.

We really felt at home in there and loved the cleanliness of the place- even the drawers and cupboards in the kitchen were spotless. Thankyou! The beds were extremely comfortable and the view was breathtaking. We have already booked for next year :)
