Dog Friendly Apartments in Carbis Bay

What our customers say about their holidays

• Carole - Verified booking

  It's a pleasant light-filled property with lots of space inside for two visitors (and a dog).

  The view towards Godrevy is lovely but the road right outside the apartment is busy and noisy which spoils the tranquility of the scene. The garden is enclosed but one side of the lawn has a drop down to the paved area underneath the balcony, this is not obvious from the way it has been photographed. At one point the drop is nearly 5 feet high. My friend was keen to stay at the property because it has a garden which her dog could play in (given the summertime 'no dogs' restrictions on local beaches in St Ives and Carbis Bay). However, because of the drop it wasn't safe to let him run around. It rained while we were staying and, as the large balcony and steps up to it are made of decking boards, it became very slippery especially as there were a lot of dead leaves on the balcony. The wooden steps are very steep, like the ones on a ferry. The alternative access to the balcony is via picturesque but uneven stone steps up through shrubs on to the balcony. The stone steps could well prove difficult for anyone with mobility problems. When we arrived we initially didn't realise all of the appliances in the kitchen area had been turned off including the boiler and the fridge freezer. The instructions in the manual need to be clearer as to what should be left on or switched off. As has been noted by other visitors, the duvets supplied in the property are too hot for summer time and the bed in the main bedroom is made uncomfortable due to a hole or large dip in the mattress. For security reasons, it would be reassuring to have a bolt or lock on the wooden door giving access to the property's outside space from the road.

  A lovely bright colour scheme make this apartment welcoming. The bedroom is calming and all windows in the apartment have shutters which gives it a new England feel. The bathroom has a drench shower which is perfect and then you look into the lounge and wow!! The kitchen has everything you need , absolutely everything. Again it has a new England feel and straight ahead the view from the French doors hits you! As you are up higher than the houses in front of you, you see Carbis Bay in all of its glory. You can see all of the coves in the distance like Porthkidney sands and various others that i can't name and you can watch the waves crashing into the rocks. You can see Godrevy lighthouse and watch the train below you snaking through the trees and disappearing into the tunnel. There is always something to see and it is ever-changing. There is a communal garden for the flats that you can sit in and enjoy the Peace. There are many different walks to Carbis bay, St. Ives, Lelant and others. You can walk from the apartment past the communal garden and down into Carbis bay. It takes 10 minutes or so. The View was lovely to stay in, comfortable, warm and cosy, beautiful views and with everything you could ask for. We loved it so much we are already booking for next year. 😀

• Testimonial - Verified booking

  "Our experience at Beachcomber and booking through Carbis Bay holidays was exceptional.

  This is the first time for many years that we spent our vacation in the UK and the first time we have visited Cornwall and we were not disappointed. The weather was also very good which was an added bonus. The service from Carbis Bay Holidays was hassle free from start to finish. All information that we could possibly need was provided before and during our stay. When a problem occurred during the bank holiday we got an immediate response and everything was taken care of with a smile and without any fuss. Beachcomber is ideally located to travel around the popular towns and is perfectly situated for a walk to the beech or to get the train. With regards the Beechcomber property, this is a credit to the owners - Perfect in every way. The view from the property and surrounding area is breathtaking. Every little detail was thought of, from the lovely gifts on arrival, a very nice touch, to the furnishing inside and outside of the property. The whirlpool bath and Nespresso coffee machine provide a little touch of luxury. We have travelled all over the world and Beachcomber would be listed as one of our favourite places." J. & G.

  No. 9 the penthouse flat had a fabulous view, it was very comfortable, well appointed and had some nice little extras including good quality toiletries. It was very well equipped, having everything we required for a great week. There were things to get you started, toilet rolls, tea, coffee etc and plenty of crockery & glasses . There is a charming, lively Spanish restaurant 'La Casita' within easy walking distance. Also a fish & chip place & 'Una Kitchen' which is on a local holiday park had surprisingly good food from a wood fired oven. There are more expensive places to eat at Carbis Bay Hotel including a 5 or 7 course tasting menu. To get into St. Ives be prepared to walk downhill to the coastal path (a lovely 25 minute scenic trail) or the train which runs every half an hour and takes just minutes. Obviously it's uphill on the way back! The buses are easy & frequent from the main road. We would recommend The Barbara Hepworth sculpture garden, The Minack Theatre, especially if there is a performance on and Mount Saint Michael where the gardens are stunning. We would definitely recommend this apartment.
