  We had a wonderful stay at Seascape.

  The apartment was absolutely spotlessly clean,everything was exactly as it was in the pictures.It had everything you could possibly need ,including some welcome goodies,such as milk and biscuits to cling film and tupperware storage boxes. It was lovely and quiet, the view is amazing and it is situated in a perfect spot for visiting lots of different places around the area. It is in quite a hilly area so walking is not for the faint hearted and the most direct walk from to and from the beach is more than a steep climb ,so probably not doable carrying beach chairs etc ( of which there are 2 provided at the apartment ,and a windbreak,no umbrella ) it was a scramble over rocks as many Cornwall beaches are,there is a longer walk but again very steep.It is a lovely small beach but the only direct access is from Carbis Beach hotel , there is some parking ,but it was £15 a day (2023) Very easy access to St Ives via the train which is literally a stones throw away and cost £1,you could hear the train from the apartment with the windows/doors open but it never bothered us.You can get the train to Penzance too,we ran out of time so didn't get that far. The whole process from booking to handing back the keys was very smooth We genuinely can't find any fault with the apartment itself , would highly recommend it.

  Trailside is a cosy cottage sleeping 4 just off the camel trail. Its in a great location for a 2 mile stroll or bike ride into Padstow, or a longer trek in the other direction to Wadebridge. A nice touch was to be left some cornish team, coffee and buscuits. The cottage has a spiral stair case and you definitely have to mind your head when entering the hobbit sized door into the loft bedroom. If you are an adult, using the upstairs toilet standing up is challenging due to the low ceiling. Even with good lighting and reminders be prepared to bump your head :) So you will need to keep a close eye on small children and I would not recommend it for anyone less mobile. Generally its well kitted out with a respectable Kitchen and downstairs bathroom but some of the fixtures and fittings are a bit tired. Lack of tumble dryer is probably less of an issue in summer months, but don’t forget to bring your own hair dryer as the cottage does not provide one for your use. If you want to go off grid its a good option as the internet is 1.3mbps making browsing the web difficult if not impossible. You can’t stream anything. Again, with children no internet is a problem. (I think the owner is improving this)

  This is a fantastic property, which is really well equipped and is so spacious.

  The view of St Ives from the living room is incredible and well worth the cost in itself. The Sky TV and PS4 (not things we have at home) were very welcome for entertaining the kids when we were packing up for the day. Our only real gripe was with the en-suite shower, which was boiling hot most of the time, even when set to the coldest temperature, so showers were brief! Only a minor issue really and it wouldn’t put us off staying again. The location is ideal. It’s a 2-3 minute walk to the station and then a 3 minute train journey to St Ives, so no need to go through the stress of driving in St Ives. You can also be on Carbis Bay beach in about 5 minutes, but just watch out for steep climb down and then back up. Well worth the effort though! Carbis Bay is well situated generally. We got to Marzion (St Michael’s mount) is about 15 mins, and then Lands End in about half an hour. This is during the August school holidays as well. We’d definitely return and stay in this property again.

  "Seascape was reflection of the high standard that we have some to expect of Carbis Bay Holidays properties.

  Modern, light and airy with first class fixtures, fitting and linens, it is well thought out and a beautifully presented property. Our favourite things to do are: seal hunting at Godrevy Head:. Beach combing on porth kidney beach (please note that the footpath from the end of Headland Rd is closed): Costal walk from Carbis Bay to St Ives for lunch. Ride along the coast to Sennen cove to enjoy both the beach and the walk and views to Lands End without the crowds. Sundowners on the patio or conservatory of Carbis Bay Hotel. Our favourite places to eat this year: The new Italian on the main road (St Ives Rd?) walking distance from the apartment and excellent pasta pizza and everything else in-between! The Porthmeor Cafe just in front of the Tate. Inventive menu with the tapas a real treat. Porthwidden Beach Cafe – we had a great paella here overlooking the beach, also called for morning coffee and cakes." K. & S. Rothwell

  Firstly Wow what a beautiful view from the balcony!

  This is a fantastic property. Accomodation is very well equipped & was spotlessly clean on arrival. Great Location, only a short walk to the beautiful Carbis Bay beach or local restaurants. A special mention for the Italian Romano's. We visited twice & it was amazing!! Also had fish & chips from Beck's which was an experience in itself!!. We used the Tesco store for anything we required during our stay. You can walk to it or is a very short trip in the car. There is also a Costcutter that is slightly closer. The train station is a very short walk from the apartment. It is a very scenic journey into St Ives ( which is a lovely place to visit) & they run every 30 minutes. We also visited Eden Project, St Michael's Mount, Sennon Cove & walk to Lands End. All were very enjoyable & great days out. We really enjoyed our week away in Cornwall. It was truely fabulous & Seascape was just perfect for us.
