August 2019

An excellent place to stay with great views and brilliant access to the beach and to the station -3 mins to st ives by train or a 30 min walk with amazing views so well worth it for these alone. We really liked being able to go back to carbis bay after being in busy st ives - ‘our beach’ was so beautiful and no crowds ever considering we were staying in the middle of August. We loved it and would definitely return. ??

Tom Bawcock's Eve, Mousehole

The tradition of Tom Bawcock comes from the feast or famine lifestyle of Cornwall.  The story goes that it was just before Christmas; there had been no fish for weeks, the boats couldn’t get out into the raging storm, the village was starving. 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.

The location was perfect, the way the apartment was equipped was second to none and a total home from home. We loved the touches of the games left and really enjoyed wet afternoons playing scrabble, something that we would never have done at home.

Seashells is a charming apartment in a fantastic location. We spent a wonderful few days here. The station is literally a stone's throw away to hop on for a trip to St Ives with stunning views on the 3 minute journey. The most beautiful beach in England: Carbis Bay is just at the bottom of the road. The apartment is perfect for a young family.
