  Eia’s loft is lovely and colourful place to stay and where it’s away from the pubs and main streets I found it to be a very peaceful stay. I don’t drive and everything you could possibly need is within walking distance. There is a lovely tea room below that sell both eat in options but also take away sandwiches etc which is very convenient. It’s well set up for a self catered stay. However, the original advert said there was a tumble dryer and other agents are still advertising a tumble dryer. There was no tumble dryer which was a huge inconvenience to me as I had packed minimally on the bases I have spinal issues and so to keep baggage down I intended to wash and dry clothes. When the agent contact the owner they denied advertising a tumble dryer and edited the description. I have found 4 other adverts listing the property as having a tumble dryer with other agents. Then there is a clear photo of a jacuzzi bath which does not work. There are no windows in the bathroom so it does tend to smell damp after a couple of days. But there are plenty of other places to hang damp towels etc so as a single person this wasn’t a major problem. But if there was a couple and more towels being used it may be.

  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.

  Apartment was fantastic, super clean and tidy with plenty of towels, lovely crisp bedding and the perfect space for a family of 4. The living room was open plan and spacious with 2 large sofas and the most fantastic view over Carbis Bay. We spent every morning sitting on the fantastic windows seats with a cup of coffee staring out at the most amazing view!! The welcome gift was a lovely surprise with local Cornish produce and a bottle of bubbles in the fridge too - perfect start to our fantastic stay! The location is great too - just a short walk to the Beach and the train station which take you direct to St Ives. Or alternatively you can take a lovely coastal walk to St Ives direct from the apartment - which we did most days. Everything we needed was in the apartment, communication regarding checking in and out was straight forward so we had no need to contact the host during our stay. Thank you Cornwall Hideaway for a seamless holiday in the most fanatic location.

  We booked our stay to recuperate after spending months caring for my mother while she was dying and agreed that Carbis Bay was the perfect spot for getting away from it all after she passed away.

  The apartment was just what we needed and we loved being a stone's throw from the footpath down to the beach while also having the fantastic view from the apartment, whether it was sunny or raining. It was smaller than we expected based on the photos but adequate space for our needs and the facilities were quite mind-blowing. I especially loved the hot chocolate maker! The only thing that slightly spoiled it was the attitude of the people who arrived to clean as we were leaving. We made a big effort to leave it looking perfect for you and as a result it might have been as late as 10:02 by the time we were ready to lock the door behind us. I understand checkout is 10:00 but 2 minutes really isn't so much that they should have been surly and unpleasant with us, particularly when all the locals we had met up to that point were laid back and friendly. It was a pity to leave that taste in our mouths at the end of what was otherwise a beautiful holiday.

  Had an amazing week stay at 8 Fernhill. Apartment was fabulous everything you need and more and all so beautifully presented and kitted out. Used the hamper and picnic chairs every day as we explored the coast and stunning beaches. Great selection of books & DVDs for the odd cosy night in. Well worth a visit down to Carbis Bay estates, they have amazing cocktail bar with stunning views Ugly Butterfly and The Orangery are stunning restaurants , well worth a visit. So many places to visit and explore, the owners keep a good supply of brochures (in the sideboard.) Our highlights have been a boat trip from St Ives to Seal Island, Minack Theatre and a tour around St Michaels Mount but so many more. Take a picnic and take the coastal road to Lands End, loads of fabulous villages and coastal walks to do. A real home from home with a little extra luxury laid on. Cant wait to come back and stay again.
