Book

Tucked away in a seaward side development in Carbis Bay, is this beautifully furnished, two bedroom apartment. Carbis Days is located on the ground floor, and provides plenty of space for a small family or two couples sharing, looking for a home from home. You have you own allocated parking space directly outside of your front door, which is ideal for day trips around Cornwall, or you can stay local and head down to the nearby Carbis Bay train stop where you can follow the stunning, scenic branch line into St Ives, where you'll be spoilt for choice at the shops, bars and restaurants on offer.

A 10 minute walk downhill will see you arrive at Carbis Bay's blue flag beach where you can spend the day sunbathing on the golden sands or taking a paddle in the calm waters, on special days, sightings of Dolphins have even been reported! After an enjoyable day soaking up the sun, head back to your apartment where you can relax on the sofa overlooking the clear, blue, sea, or head up to the main through road where you have a delicious choice of restaurants, catering for all pallets, whether it be a celebratory dinner at The Gannet, or Mexican night at La Casita. A delightful coastal path walk, taking about 20 minutes, and you'll find yourselves at Porthminster Beach and its infamous beach cafe in St Ives.

fabulous view... good location for bus right outside the door...5 minutes into st ives.... great property and Very comfortable... what's not to like!!!

Great little apartment with sea views, bus routes very close & train not too far a walk

Carbis Days is a beautiful property that literally is a home away from home, decorated tastefully throughout. We visited as a family of 3 and it was perfect for us in terms of location and facilities.

A short bus ride takes you to St Ives very swiftly and Tesco is within walking distance.

We loved that Carbis Bay was quieter than bustling St Ives. It was a haven of peace at the end of each day.

Carbis Bay Beach is about a 10 minute walk and gets your heart pumping - there and back! If you haven't visited before, there are some steep inclines, so be aware of this if you intend on making the walk. The beach there is serene and wasn't very busy in comparison to the beaches at St Ives.

We look forward to returning to the area again - it is all I can think about since arriving home!

Super apartment- well equipped and comfortable in a great location. Lovely decoration and perfect for our needs. Will definitely consider rebooking if we come back to the area.

Small but comfortable apartment. Well placed to explore the local area, with good public transport and a large supermarket nearby.

Great location - easy to walk to Carbis Bay beach. Easy to walk, drive, catch the train to St Ives. A great little base for your holiday.
