One man, Tom Bawcock, dared to take his boat out of the harbour’s safety. He returned with enough fish to make fish pie for the whole village.
Today, a festival takes place each year to celebrate Tom Bawcock's bravery. During the festival, Star Gazey pies are eaten in memory of this famous event.

Great little apartment with everything you need. Very comfortable. Everything was as described. Beautiful view and just a short walk to the beach and St Ives. Wouldn't hesitate to come back.
Mrs Gibson Nov 2020
Lovely apartment, lovely views, great location.
Mrs Lynam Nov 2020
A lovely apartment with stunning views. We did not use the car all week as it was only short walk into St Ives and five minutes walk to Carbis Station. Very comfortable bed and extremely peaceful location.
Mrs Edy Oct 2020
Ideal for couples, easy access to down to Carbis Bay, just take a torch and flat shoes for walking back.
Mrs Williams Oct 2020
Excellent accommodation, perfect location for beach, walks and public transport. Will be sure to return.
Mrs Mackenzie Sep 2020
Wonderful property excellent location easy walk into St ives or hop on the train 5 min walk downhill path from fern hill. Lovely sunny patio to sit in and relax with fab views & large shared garden . Apartment had everything needed for our stay, a lovely comfortable bed ,we loved our stay and will return to Carbi bay
Mr Hawkes Sep 2020
This apartment is beautifully furnished with everything in it that you could possibly need. Everything is of good quality. Parking space. Outside decking area with furniture and secure gate. We brought our little dog and this was perfect place for her. There is also a communal garden with table and chairs. Stunning view, would recommend and book again. Our only negative was that there are patio doors in the bedroom and no other windows to open so we found it rather stuffy and there is no fan. Luckily we didn’t have hot weather so we managed. The train station is a short walk and the service into St Ives is brilliant. Also bus stop nearby. We love staying in Carbis Bay as there are so many lovely places to visit not far away. Some nice dog friendly beeches.

It really is a lovely peaceful spot there with gorgeous views, so we are glad that you liked it too! Whilst we have never received feedback to suggest that it is too warm in there during periods of hot weather, if you like to have a window open in your bedroom overnight, this is certainly something that you may want to consider. There is a window (as well as the patio doors) in the living room, which is adjacent to the bedroom that could potentially be left partially opened to allow a bit of airflow at night. We will keep an eye on further feedback, and if guests are finding it too hot, we can always speak to the property owners and suggest a fan in there. Thanks for your helpful comments and we hope to see you back again soon. Tanya, Customer Services
Lovely space for two, comfortable bed and beautiful view, and for the most part of the week, 5 minute walk (very steep on the way back) to the beach.
Miss Whitfield Mar 2020
A wonderful stay in a super location. Well equipped and comfortable.
Mrs Pereira Feb 2020
What a fantastic apartment to call home for a couple of weeks. Furnished to a high standard & very comfortable, the heated floor was a winner for our dog. The apartment was immaculately clean and very well equipped. Close to the coastal path, easy parking with designated parking space and awesome views. We loved our stay and hope to return. Thank you
Ms Brown Jan 2020
Apartment lovely with wonderful views despite our poor weather.
Shopping easy as local Tesco only a short walk away.
Bus services good. St Ives, as always lovely and not too crowded as it was November.
As we travelled by train directions from Carbis Bay railway station would have been helpful. Google maps took us on a difficult path. Found different route which proved much easier

It's great to hear that you enjoyed 1 Fernhill Apartment; the views and location of this property are great aren't they? We're sorry that we hadn't known that you were arriving by train; I can see that you had all of your arrival details sent out a couple of weeks before your arrival, but unfortunately, as standard, these are sent out with the route described as if you are arriving by car. For anyone arriving by train, plane or bus, we are always happy to help provide alternative directions and any information that you may need ready for your arrival. We also highly recommend following described routes rather than using postcodes in google maps or Satnavs which unfortunately in several areas around here, can often take routes that may not be suitable or direct you to a nearby but incorrect road. We're glad that you managed to find it in the end, albeit by a slightly scenic route :-) Tanya, Customer Services
It was a nice well turned out apartment. Close to all shops and main roads to explore the area with ease. There are some nice places to eat near by
Mr Barton Oct 2019

Miss Perry Mar 2019
I loved staying at Fernhill for my first solo trip to Cornwall with my Cockapoo. We both felt very at home straight away with a lovely welcome tray and stunning views seen from every room. All the furniture and fixtures are very high quality. It was very peaceful and quiet yet close to bustling St Ives and many other beautiful places. Excellent and easily accessible parking even for a 4x4. I would not hesitate to stay here again. Thank you again Aspects for an amazing stay!
Miss Pitt Mar 2019

The property was lovely and in a fantastic position. Beautiful to watch the sea every day. The area is lovely and quiet but has easy access into St Ives by bus, train or a lovely walk. We had a good time and wouldn't hesitate to book again.
Mr Ager Sep 2018
The cottage is in a beautiful location with stunning views and I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending the property to family and friends. It had everything you needed for a relaxing home from home holiday.
