About this property

Cedar Lodge is a stunningly stylish coastal homestay with sea views. In a superb elevated spot in Carbis Bay, two miles from the buzzing resort of St Ives, this detached bolt hole offers beautiful and comfortable accommodation. The interior is contemporary, with large windows and bi-fold doors, with 7 Velux windows and a sun deck displaying glorious St Ives Bay views, all windows dressed with remote controlled blackout blinds and curtains, with ocean vistas framing Gwithian and Godrevy lighthouse in the distance. The spacious reverse-level living space boasts four bedrooms all with Harrison Spinks mattresses, Cotton Percale linen, two with en-suite shower rooms, and a generous open-plan sitting area, smart kitchen and dining space for get-togethers. The kitchen has all of the high end appliance you would come to expect in this property, the Aga Rangemaster professional with a double oven and 6 ring induction hob is perfect for cooking family meals with ease, a large integrated Bosch Fridge freezer and separate undercounter integrated Fridge and Siemens integrated dishwasher. The additional family bathroom and utility room offer all the facilities and appliances you need. The snug has a Jaybe sofa bed, so this playroom can also accommodate two extra guests. Extend the space into the large front garden with raised lawn, paved patio, a LG 10 seater casual dining set with table and a 8 seater picnic bench with a Outback Jupiter 4 burner gas BBQ is perfect for alfresco dining. All set against the super sea view backdrop across the rooftops. The driveway can accommodate four cars with ease. At the rear there is a feature terraced wall and areas for surf boards and cycles to be stored. Carbis Bay Just half a mile away is a popular resort and features a Blue Flag beach, an ocean sports centre and shops for provisions, bars and cafés. The Carbis Bay Hotel is a great venue for a pre-dinner tipple. Paddle around the bay to Hayle and fabulous Gwithian. St Ives resort is a mile and a half along the coast, famed for its dinky picturesque harbour, charismatic winding lanes dotted with excellent art galleries, boutiques, eateries and traditional inns. There are five beaches, Porthmeor beach, Porthgwidden beach, Bamaluz beach, Harbour beach and Porthminster beach, perfect for sandcastle fun, swimming, boating and surf gear lessons and board hire. Explore the coast path and enjoy the seascape or simply watch the artists at work in their galleries. Porthkidney Sands is the most spectacular of all of them and is about 5 mins by car or 30 mins walk along coast path. For family and friends looking for a heavenly coastal holiday pad for memory-making adventures and relaxation after a day at the coast, Cedar Lodge is the perfect venue.

One of Cornwall's harbour towns, St Ives offers narrow streets, tight-packed cottages nestling around the quayside, the Tate Gallery and Barbara Hepworth museum, fabulous beaches, superb shops, a thriving community of artists, great pubs and restaurants and much more. With its semi Bohemian lifestyle and romantic air, it's easy to see why this is the county's premier holiday resort. The surrounding area has much for the visitor to see and do with abundant wildlife, fabulous coastal walks, top quality surfing and the Celtic mysteries of the Land's End Peninsula are all within easy reach. A superb destination.

    Upon arrival at the property we were unable to access the key from the key safe as we had been given the wrong code. Therefore I had to waste precious holiday time trying to get hold of someone from Sykes to obtain the correct code. I eventually spoke to the owner who gave me the correct code and blamed Sykes for giving me the incorrect number one. On entering the property we were pleased with the layout, space, cleanliness, view etc but soon realised several issues with the property. Firstly we realised none of the remotes for the tvs were working (batteries eroded inside some of them). We were able to fix one for the lounge tv but had no luck with the ‘snug’ tv. Thankfully the weather was glorious so there wasn’t much tv watching. We then realised that none of the control panels for the velux windows were working, therefore we were unable to open the windows in the kitchen/dining/lounge area and close the blind in the master bedroom. Therefore we were woken up at sunrise every morning!! On the Saturday evening, after a day at the beach, we realised we had no hot water!!!! Therefore we all had to have ice cold showers and give our boys (age 3 & 6) a ‘bath’ in the kitchen sink using hot water from the kettle! I contacted Sykes and the owner directly on the Saturday evening but nothing was done to rectify the issue. I then called Sykes again on Sunday morning and eventually heard back from the owner via email, asking me to send photos of the boiler/heating system control panel!! Again, wasting precious holiday time. Luckily, my husband managed to do something to the control panel and the system began to work again, but with no thanks/help from the owner. Also to note, when I was trying to find someone to contact about the windows, blind and hot water, the emergency contact information in the guest information folder was years out of date (confirmed by the disgruntled ex house keeper who wasn’t happy her details were still there!!). The owner finally sent an electrician to the house on Tuesday (4 days after our arrival) who was able to temporarily fix the blind in the bedroom but not open the velux windows. He also mentioned it wasn’t the first time the house had issues with its hot water. And today I received ‘feedback’ from the owner via email about not taking the recycling bins out to the road on the day we left, but he assured me he would not deduct any money from the £300 security deposit I gave him for the ‘inconvenience’ this caused!!! My feedback to the owner (Philip) is that if you want to charge an extortionate amount of money for people to stay in your house then perhaps you should keep on top of its maintenance, and when your customers are as inconvenienced during their stay as we were, due to the numerous issues we encountered, perhaps you could be a bit more helpful and apologetic rather than criticise about a bit of recycling. So would I recommend this property to someone else, absolutely not!!!!

    A quiet spot but a 15 minute walk to the beach (or the pub). The house was spotlessly clean, well appointed throughout. The living areas are airy with plenty of space.The view from the lounge is amazing. Very comfortable furnishings, big comy beds too. We enjoyed a wonderful stay at Cedar Lodge.

    Four couples. A little disappointed that we couldn’t get the bbq working. Although there were two gas bottles they both appeared to be empty. Didn’t want to go to the trouble (and expense) of buying a refill without knowing if bbq worked. Although cornishcottageholidays said we would be reimbursed it just wasn’t worth the hassle. In the end we bought a few disposables which did the job. Also, we has great difficult getting the key box unlocked and we’re unable to use it for the rest of our stay. I suggest it needs replaced. Please don’t regard this as a major complaint. It’s just genuine feedback for the owner. Otherwise the house was excellent with every possible facility we required. Loads of space. Plenty of kitchen facilities etc. good bedrooms, beds, showers etc.
