The Cottage at Fairwinds

About this property

The Cottage at Fairwinds, a lovely single-storey abode is nestled in the idyllic Cornish village of Carbis Bay. This inviting ground-floor dwelling is the perfect place for couples, or two friends and their four-legged companions looking to escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life and spend quality time together. With nearby amenities and a beautiful beach just moments away, you’ll never be short of things to do, and with the added convenience of an EV charger at your disposal, your adventures can stretch far and wide! Take a moment to breathe in the sea air of the Cornish coast before stepping into your single-storey dwelling. Marvel at the inviting ground-floor sitting room, where you can curl up in the warmth of the woodburning stove and enjoy a film on the Smart TV. The kitchen/diner is the ideal place to cook up a delicious dinner for two, which can be enjoyed around the dining table over a bottle of fizz, or in the sitting room with its large windows that look out onto the enclosed side patio with furniture. The breakfast bar, accompanied by the property’s tranquil location in a private road is also perfect for guests that may be looking to work while they’re away. If the weather permits, venture out with a refreshing beverage and bask in your lovely surroundings a little while longer while your pooches play safely, before freshening up in the sleek shower room. When the evening begins to draw to a close, the super-king-size bedroom (which can be made into a twin on request) is perfect for hunkering down, a safe haven for rejuvenating before another day of exciting adventures. Kickstart your itinerary with a morning along the sandy trails of Carbis Bay Beach, a beautiful spot for paddling the shores and soaking up the sun during the summer. Enjoy a scenic dog walk along the cobbled streets of St Ives, taking in the stunning views of Porthminster Beach and the harbour. Pay a visit to St. Ives Museum, the Tate St Ives or the Barbara Hepworth Museum and Sculpture Garden, before delighting a coffee and sweet treat in one of several lovely cafes nearby. Experience the small fishing villages of Cornish culture; explore the picturesque harbour in Hayle before taking a stroll through the local shops and eateries or take a short drive to Penzance to discover the attractions and sample the food of one of the oldest towns in Cornwall. With Fairwinds as your base, you can tailor your getaway and discover the Cornish towns at your own pace. Enjoy a memorable escape in the beautiful Cornish countryside.

Just a short drive from iconic St Ives, the seaside village of Carbis Bay is best-known for its beautiful stretch of pure white sand. With turquoise waters and sheltered conditions, the beach feels almost subtropical and is the perfect spot for a good old-fashioned day by the sea. The beach is also home to the Ocean Sports Centre, so if sunbathing is not really your thing, why not hire a kayak or SUP and get out on the water instead. Or why not treat yourself to a Spa day at the delightful hotel which overlooks the beach and has a fabulous terrace where cocktails can be enjoyed in the Cornish sunshine? Carbis Bay has a small range of local shops and restaurants as well as a fish & chip takeaway and railway branch line. The train journey from Carbis Bay into St Ives is perhaps one of the most beautiful in the country; St Ives additionally makes for a great day out, with plenty of galleries to explore. The quayside town of Hayle also isn't far and is home to activities for the all the family, including a golf and a wildlife sanctuary. The Godrevy Nature Reserve and Penwith Heritage Coast are also within easy reach from Carbis Bay, providing outdoors and watersports plans with even more activities to partake in, including coasteering and birdwatching. Carbis Bay is truly a wonderful holiday location for those wanting to experience Cornwall's breathtaking coastline.
