My family & I decided to take a break over Whitsun (at short notice) and we found this lovely apartment in Carbis Bay. It has a stunning panoramic view of the bay and you can also see St Ives.. The apartment is spacious, bright & airy with some very tastefully chosen furniture, but we couldn't get the TV's to work in our bedroom....that's because our daughter pionted out that they were in fact radiators...Doh! Outside there's the fantastic coast line...quite breathtaking,the walks are great and we can honestly say that we didn't expect to see such beauty, the views are truly mesmerising. Then there's St Ives itself, a pretty town of Lilliputian feel, with a great choice of restaurants, bars, quaint little art galleries and fashion clothing shops. It's only a 5 minute train ride (one every hour, a 2 minute walk to station), or about 20 minutes walk along the coastal pathway. The beach is a short walk along the path and down some steps, we even had a BBQ there one evening, by a cave with a stream. With the usual amenities close by, this place is a fantastic chill out get away bolt hole and we would have no hesitation in recommending it to anyone....we'll certainly be back :-)

PS Oh! You must check out The Sloop in St Ives, a great pub that serves this cider called 'Rattler'...but be warned don't drink to much or you'll end up spending a small fortune in those lovely shops!
