A beautiful sandy beach for lazing on, crystal clear water for paddling in and coastal paths galore for meandering along, Carbis Bay is the perfect place for spending a Cornish holiday as a couple or with friends and family. Set on a quiet street on the outskirts of the town, this delightful cottage is also just a mile and a half from the heart of St Ives and creates a comfortable, well-positioned base from which to enjoy all that the north Cornwall’s iconic coastline has to offer from splendid scenery to some of the county’s best-loved seaside towns and villages.

Tastefully decorated, the cottage’s two bedrooms include a master with super king which can be separated into twin beds on request, and a bright and airy double. Beautifully furnished and spacious, both have high-quality bedding, comfortable mattresses and crisp linen so guests can look forward to a deeply restful night’s sleep after days spent down on the beach. An enclosed garden with a patio creates a peaceful spot to soak up the sunshine while the light-filled and airy open plan living room with Smart television makes an inviting space to unwind in. Discuss the day’s plans over breakfast in the dining area or whip up a delicious home cooked meal in the well-equipped kitchen before heading out to explore.

The nearby towns of Hayle and St Ives can be reached either on foot or via a short train trip on the scenic St Erth line, and Carbis Bay’s stunning beach-front restaurants with their panoramic sea vistas offer an out-of-this-world dining out experience. The town’s award-winning C Spa is also open to the public so for a touch of indulgence visitors can treat themselves to a massage, or a dip in the newly revamped swimming pool while taking in incredible views over the bay.
