Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at No 5 Riviera apartments, so much so we're hoping to return next year

October 2024

We have just returned from a really lovely stay. The apartment is set in a beautiful location with easy access to the beach and train into st. Ives. The coastal walks are also on your doorstep!

Views are special and the complex is quiet - with only 9 apartments in the area this was a great choice.

The flat itself was exceptionally clean and well presented. In particular, the beds were super comfy and the kitchen was very well kitted out - everything seemed new!

We will definitely be returning :)

Holidays in Carbis Bay

If you’re looking for a holiday away from the hustle and bustle of St Ives, then consider Carbis Bay, offering a quieter location for guests. Enjoy outstanding views, relaxing on the golden sandy beach and walking the coastal path, which is perhaps the most beautiful stretch in the county.

Choose a holiday in Carbis Bay and you’ll be spoilt by endless views and a sweeping coastline. Spend your days relaxing on the beach, or walk the coastal path into St Ives. Located between Hayle and St Ives, you’ll be spoilt for places to visit, from endless golden beaches, to Cornish cafes and family attractions.

Top tip

Take a ride on the St Ives branch line, one the most picturesque train journeys in Britain!

Carbis Bay beach

A holiday in Carbis Bay means you’ll have one of the most beautiful beaches just a short walk away from your holiday cottage. With crystal-clear turquoise waters, enjoy swimming and other watersports, with kayaks and paddleboards available to hire from the watersports centre at the beach. You’ll also be in close proximity to the golden sandy beaches at Lelant and Hayle and the popular beaches in St Ives; you could try a different beach every day of the week!

Walks in Carbis Bay

Leave the car at home and take the 20 minute walk into St Ives, enjoying the views along the way. This gentle walk is a must at least once during your stay.

For nature lovers, the Steeple Woods Nature Reserve is home to an abundance of wildlife and plants. Relax and explore the forty acre space which overlooks St Ives.

For the more adventurous soul, the St Michael’s Way is a 12.5 mile trek starting at nearby Lelant, and finishing up at the stunning St Michael’s Mount in Marazion. If the walk back doesn’t seem too appealing, you can always ride the open-top bus all the way back!

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at No 5 Riviera apartments, so much so we're hoping to return next year

Had a most enjoyable time in this apartment everything we needed was at hand, the views were good and really easy access to the little train into st.ives, the only downside was the seating in the lounge ( not very relaxing for our " ageing bones") but it didn't spoil our holiday! K

Reply from Aspects Holidays

Thank you for your review. We were delighted to see that you had such a wonderful time at 5 Riviera Apartments and that it had everything you needed both within the property and also in relation to its location to the train station. We were sorry to see that the sofas weren't to your personal taste, but so pleased this didn't impact on the enjoyment of your holiday. We hope that it won't be long before you're back again. Ben Customer Services.

We have just returned from a really lovely stay. The apartment is set in a beautiful location with easy access to the beach and train into st. Ives. The coastal walks are also on your doorstep!

Views are special and the complex is quiet - with only 9 apartments in the area this was a great choice.

The flat itself was exceptionally clean and well presented. In particular, the beds were super comfy and the kitchen was very well kitted out - everything seemed new!

We will definitely be returning :)

We had another lovely holiday at 5 Riviera Apartments. The accommodation was extremely clean and tidy. Since our stay last year, the owners have redecorated to a very high standard. The location is ideal and we enjoyed our daily beach walks and regular trips into St Ives using the train station, which is no more than 5 minutes away. All in all another lovely holiday and will look forward to our next visit.

5 riviera apartments is a beautiful apartment that is very spacious with all the facilities that is needed for a great holiday, it is really clean and freshly decorated, the views to St ives are wonderful, we enjoyed nights on the balcony with a glass or two listening to the sea. The location is perfect for the train station which is a few minutes walk and gives easy access to places farrer afield. Carbis Bay beach is stunning with its light coloured sand and clear waters. All in all we had a fantastic 2 weeks stay and would definitely book again, highly recommend aspects too.

Absolutely loved everything about this apartment. Well equipped, very spacey, comfy and clean with fab views. Just five minutes above the fabulous beach and an easy walk into St Ives (with the option of taking one of the regular trains on the doorstep). Didn'r want to leave.

This was our third year running staying at the property. Despite the week not being brilliant wether wise we had a good time again in such a lovely location.

Lovely flat beautiful view very clean and the flowers are a nice touch

Very comfortable apartment in an ideal location. This was our second stay there and will certainly consider booking again during 2022.

Pleasant apartment, great location, all i needed for my stay.

Apartment as lovely as ever easy access to St Ives can't wait to come again in the spring

Loved this apartment. Had everything we needed. Lovely flat with great views from inside and on the balcony. Great location. So handy for the train into St Ives. Can't wait to return to Cornwall and would definitely book this again. The welcome pack was a nice touch and the fresh flowers were really lovely.

A lovely, excellently located accommodation within 5 minutes of the beach using the path at the side of the accommodation.

Would happily stay there again. The extra support of the Aspects Customer services team to have some special items (wanted some champagne & strawberries) available on arrival was exemplary.

Great Apartment for a base the views are fantastic.

Lovely stay, perfect location for train or walk to St Ives. Looking forward to the next stay!

Such a beautiful apartment with a lovely balcony where you can sit and listen to the sound of the sea. The apartment was very clean, spacious with a well equipped kitchen. The location is perfect for either a day on Carbis Bay beach which is only 5 mins walk or catch the train into st Ives but there’s also a well used coastal path if you want to walk. I can’t wait to return one day .

Great apartment, met all our needs and along with the weather (10th - 17th October 2020) gave my wife and myself a wonderful week away.

The apartment is in a very convenient spot for the beach and train station, with a good cut-through, and is spacious with lovely sea views, although we couldn’t make use of the balcony due to the weather conditions. The cleanliness was of an extremely high standard, and both bathrooms newly decorated.
Getting to St Ives by train or the coastal path was easy, and there were many good eateries, including The Rajpoot, The Bier Huis (for Sunday lunch) and La Casita in Carbis Bay. My only reservation about the property is that I found the mattress very firm, and the settees uncomfortable, but that is just personal preference, and didn’t spoil my stay. We had a lovely week.

Lovely apartment, excellent views, everything we needed was there. Hopefully we will return

Flat very comfortable beautiful view hope to go back next year .

Lovely apartment with brilliant sea views.

This is a lovely apartment, well furnished with modern bathrooms. The location is superb especially so close to the railway line (easy acces to St Ives, Penzance, Mousehole) but the beach at Carbis Bay is so delightful there is not much reason to go anywhere else - especially if the weather is as nice as it was for us.

Lovely apartment with views over Carbis Bay and within a couple of minutes walk of the St Ives-St Erth (Penzance) train line. Highly recommended

Excellent apartment felt like home would highly recommend

Lovely place to stay, our second time here. Peace and quiet here yet within half an hours stroll from St Ives. The train station is less than a 5 minute walk if you want to take it easy £2 return fare, no tying to find a parking space in St Ives. We find Aspect holidays staff very friendly and happy to help, would certainly use them again.

We had a wonderful stay relaxing from the moment we stepped inside the apartment. Parking was great as was location. It was a 30 mins walk on the coastal path and 4 mins on the train £1 each way . The apartment is spacious and very well appointed. Carbis Bay beach is amazing. Family friendly with a wii and games books etc. Fresh flowers and shortbread biscuits were a nice touch Look forward to our next visit.

Lovely apartment, very spacious, great views. Highly recommend a stay here.

This is the third time at the riviera apartments. Twice at number 5 both times brilliant .Hoping to make it again next year ??

Ideal for beach and coast path to St Ives, comfortable and spacious apartment with great views

Lovely apartment, airy great views

I have said it all PERFECT

Super apartment in a great location.

Quiet, but a short walk from the station. Well positioned and with a marvellous view. We enjoyed every minute of our stay!

Super location, gorgeous views, very comfortable apartment, great showers, well equipped. A pleasure to return to.

This apartment has lovely views and is light and airy. Well equipped and clean with easy access to the Railway Station.

lovely apartment with a beautiful view over to St Ives. Apartment had everything we needed for a pleasant family stay.

A fantastic, comfortable apartment with wonderful views. We liked the property so much we booked for 2016 on our return home.

Lovely apartment, very warm and comfortable. Beautiful views over Carbis Bay. Ideal location near to the train station and beach.
