Fantastic location easy walk to the beach with our dog every morning and afternoon, great for popping down into St Ives for a mooch about. Very comfortable house lovely and warm, great size TV which you rarely get in a holiday let. Situated so close to Carbis bay and the beautiful 3 mile beach in Hayle. Would definitely return we had the best time!

A wonderful, well equipped property with the most amazing views of our favourite beach, Porthmeor. Whilst the garden is not for guests to access, it was lovely to look onto it and see the beautiful range of plants and trees, even in November. The bungalow was very comfortable and homely with lovely artworks, many from the artist owner. The welcome goodies were much appreciated too. Thank you. We'll be back!

We had a lovely week at Parc a Carne despite the inclement weather. The property has the most amazing view, it is very well equipped and is very conveniently located to get down to the beach and everything that St Ives has to offer, although it should be noted that there is steep hill to climb up and down but it isn’t a very long one.
Mrs Warr Sep 2024
Parc an carne is perfect accomodation for anyone looking for good view in quieter location,ideal for artists.Everthing you might need is provided.
Mr Milburn Sep 2024
We had a fantastic holiday here. What a stunning location and view.
Mr Anson Aug 2024
This was our 3rd stay at Parc an Carne and we had another fantastic week away! A beautiful, well equipped house with everything you need for a relaxing & comfortable holiday.
We still cannot get over the view from the terrace over the gorgeous garden to Porthmeor beach and beyond. It is breathtaking!
If it is possible to be in love with a place then we definitely are with this wonderful property and will certainly be back again next year.
Miss Marsden Jun 2024
Parc an Carne is one of the best properties we have stayed in. Location is fantastic and the parking is very good .I will book this one again.
Mr Duckworth May 2024
A lovely house with wonderful views looking out at Porthmeor beach and St Nicholas Chapel. Very comfortable bed, again with amazing views. The kitchen is well equipped and we appreciated the gifts on arrival. Parking space is great.
Mrs McKie May 2024
Fantastic view, Warm homely feel. Just be prepared for the exercise walking back up the hill from town or the beach. Totally worth it for the panoramic view of St Ives. No pain no gain as they say!
Mr Bruton Nov 2023
Parc a Carne is truly a home from home with the added bonus of beautiful views. Located in a fantastic part of St Ives with private parking a great bonus. Peace & tranquility abounds although only a short walk from the galleries, restaurants & shops or a refreshing cliff walk.
Mrs Hall Sep 2023
Beautiful location, spotlessly clean, well equipped, spacious and relaxing. The description raised our expectations and it did not disappoint. Would stay there again if I am ever back in that part of Cornwall.
Mr Burgoyne Jun 2023
This was our second stay at Parc an Carne and we were still amazed by this property and all it has to offer!
A lovely, bright and well equipped kitchen. Really ample living/dining space with great views! Super comfortable master bedroom with ensuite and a second twin room & family bathroom - as there was just the 2 of us it was really nice for me & hubby to have our own bathroom and dressing room!
Really well equipped property with Lots of personal touches from the owner including the fantastic artwork everywhere.
Lovely well kept gardens front & rear with the terrace to the rear also providing the most stunning views over Porthmeor beach, St Ives and beyond! We spent so many hours there just soaking it all in.
We are definitely in love with this place and will most certainly be back next year. 100% recommend a stay here!
Also, fantastic service from Aspect Holidays as usual!
Miss Marsden Jun 2023
Overall the property is comfortable and well equipped. The view is gorgeous and a lovely place to sit first thing in the morning. After a week of walking up the hill felt revitalised ??.
Miss King Apr 2023
A beautiful home with amazing views! A luxury to wake after a night in a really comfy bed and be able to look out to that view every morning! The four of us had a lovely week in the late Autumn sunshine. My mother-in law struggled to walk back up to the property from town, but it didn't bother the rest of us. It was well worth it for the view and gave us a chance to wear off the great meals out that we had. One of many places we have stayed at in St Ives over the years- certainly one of the best!
Mrs Pickwell Nov 2022
Parc an Carne is a delightful bungalow with fantastic views from both inside and the terrace. Close proximity to enjoy everything St Ives offers but with the added feeling of peacefulness & seclusion. Private parking for one car is an added bonus.
Mrs Hall Sep 2022
Parc an Carne is a wonderful holiday home with spectacular views in a great location. I would love to return next year!
Mr Adams Jul 2022
Parc an Carne is a lovey house with an amazing view, in a quiet location with a short walk to St.Ives, there is also car parking available. We will defiantly book this accommodation again.
Mrs McKie Jun 2022
Really enjoyed our recent stay, the views are very special. It’s great to have a parking space too. The walk up from St Ives is very steep but worth it for the views. Overall this was a well equipped home from home.
Mrs Brown May 2022
My partner and I enjoyed a very relaxing stay in this comfortable, well equipped property. Both the bedroom and sitting room have a glorious view over Porthmeor Beach and The Island. We appreciated the private parking space.
It's a great location, just a short stroll down into St Ives and just as easy to set off for a walk along the stunning coast path. Though it's worth being aware that the wonderful views are thanks to the high vantage point above the town, so it's a proper walk up hill to get to the property.
I'd very happily stay here again.
Ms Opik Apr 2022
Great place, lovely sea view, fully equipped with everythink you may need, beds are very comfortable, Walking distance to town, although if your legs are weak its not the place for you as so many hills. Lovely coastal walks. 3 beaches all within walking distance. Nice harbour with the usual pastie shops, fish/ chip shop, bars, resturants booking advisable. Lovely place, you won't be disappointed.
Mr Leese Sep 2021
Parc an carne is a fabulous property with amazing views from the large terrace area and also from both the lounge and master bedroom, it is very comfortable and spacious we definitely plan to return.
Mrs Hardwick Aug 2021
Parc an carne was beautiful. Fantastic views allow you to sit and watch the surfers down below and feel at peace. Has everything you need for fantastic holiday. Just a short walk into the centre of St Ives we loved every second of our stay
Mr Hope Jul 2021
We had a fantastic time in St Ives staying at Parc an Carne. The house is beautiful, the views breathtaking. We had no complaints. Beds were comfy. Everything was set up for when we arrived including a generous welcome pack. This wasn’t our first visit to St Ives but the best accommodation. We met the owners too (they have a studio at the front of the property), they were very welcoming and accommodating. All in all excellent. Looking to book again for next year.
Mrs Addison Aug 2019
Fabulous property with fantastic views over Porthmeor Beach. Walking distance for all St Ives has to offer. Would definitely use Parc an carne again!
