We had a wonderful holiday at this beautiful apartment. The view was amazing! Very clean and comfortable too. The parking space was a real bonus, and the location was excellent for the beach and StIves town. We look forward to staying again.

38 Carrack Widden is a lovely flat with fabulous views out over Porthminster Beach to Hayle and Godrevy Lighthouse. The flat is clean, tidy, and very well-equipped with everything you could possibly need for a relaxing break. It has the advantage of a parking space right outside the property, which is worth its weight in gold in St.Ives! You can park up and leave the car there until you leave as it is about a 10 minute walk down to the harbour front and a little less to Porthminster Beach, the Bus Station, and the Train Station. Although coming back may take a little longer!!

Excellent location. Good quality accommodation.Convenient car parking on site.Town short walk. Return walk uphill all the way. Plenty of taxis in town if you prefer lift back for the very short ride.

This is a really good apartment, comfortable, well maintained and very convenient for St Ives centre. This was a second visit, and we'd be more than happy to stay there again.

38 Carrack Widden was a perfect choice, given that we wanted to be within walking distance of St Ives centre. It was extremely convenient, well maintained, well equipped, and comfortable, matching the description on the Aspects website. I'd not hesitate to recommend the apartment as a great retreat for two, and we shall be returning again shortly.

Amazing view of porthminster beach. Short steep walk to the beach and harbour. Immaculate apartment in great location with the bonus of a parking spot (which is a little narrow, but not a problem for us). Very large bed and shower. Lovely kitchen and lounge. Only small issue was that there was no dishwasher so bring your washing up gloves or enjoy the many wonderful restaurants in st ives. Very close to the railway station.

A lovely flat with a fantastic veiw of the sunrise over Carbis Bay. Good to have parking without too many stairs to the flat. Easy access for buses and trains and Porthminster Beach. Walking back from town is uphill but good for working off that extra cream tea!

One of the nicest places that we have stayed, and had everything that we needed for a comfortable stay , within easy walking distance of st Ives.

All as expected will come again ??

Perfect location with amazing view of beach and sea. The apartment was extremely well equipped, comfortable and spotlessly clean. Lovely.

Excellent position overlooking beach and St Ives bay. Lounge in the comfortable chairs all day gazing out or explore the beautiful area.

Location excellent with easy access to the town and beach. Accommodation perfect for our requirements. Car Parking space a real bonus.

Perfect apartment, location, with parking and St Ives although quieter than in summer still had a lively buzz during the day stunning beaches and plenty of lovely food available to sit in or takeaway even the sun was out for the majority of our week in St Ives.

We have been going to 38 for 3 years now we have stayed all over st ives and in numerous apartments this is our favourite everything about this apartment is class the view is amazing you have parking included nothing really not to like we have already booked 3 weeks in the summer for 2023

If you are looking for a beautifully appointed, perfectly equipped flat for your stay in St Ives, STOP HERE you have found it. Truly a 5* property. Parking, views, easy access to get in and out of the town for sightseeing. I would definitely recommend this property.

Just returned from a fantastics weeks holiday in St Ives made even better by our stay at 38 Carrack Widden. The view from the apartment is amazing, you will never be bored of that view!!! The apartment was clean and tidy on arrival. Comfy environment, spacious for 2 guests and not too warm. Really appreciated the card on arrival from the owners - nice touch. Perfect location. We would 100% recommend this apartment to anyone and we would love stay again.

A beautifully furnished property in a great location. We have stayed here on several occasions and cannot recommend highly enough.

38 Carrack Widden is a very well furnished, clean, and comfortable flat, in a front line position with uninterrupted views of Porthminster Beach, Hayle, and Godrevy Lighthouse. It is in a great location, being only a few minutes walk to the centre of St. Ives and the harbour front and with the added bonus of parking right outside the property. The walk down to the town and back up might be a bit challenging for someone with mobility issues, but, other than that, this is an excellent holiday flat and I would highly recommend it.

38 carrack widden is so lovely! Comfortable, spacious and extremely clean and modern!

Lots of natural light with the big windows and that view is breathtaking

We had a few evenings in sat in the window having a glass of fizz as it was such a lovely stunning view! We also had most mornings eating breakfast in the window watching the dogs on the beach and the early runners/swimmers

Had another marvelous stay at 38 Carrack Widden in October. Great apartment, lovely, clean and comfortable. Amazing view. Wish I could live here. Hope to be back soon.

Thanks for a memorable holiday, recommended and would return again.

Stunning apartment with great views overlooking Porthminster beach. Lovely comfy bed, large shower cubical, big screen tv and DVD player. Walking distance to the shops and restaurants. Free off street parking is included. Highly recommend The Cornish Bakery for the best pasties and cream teas and the Harbour restaurant for fish and chips and door step bread and butter. Check out the little cinema is so quirky and tiny.

Easy to use websight. Great property. Reasonably priced. What more could you ask?

Brilliant apartment to stay in for every thing you need and the finish is quality staying here next summer that will be third time in three summers

Perfect apartment, beautiful view whatever the weather. Great location with access to town, restaurants & beaches. Bus & train station literally over the road, if want you to venture out. We had a fantastic time

A superb apartment, beautifully furnished and extremely comfortable. Incredibly convenient for bars, restaurants and beaches. Excellent value for money.

If you want to enjoy a quality rental property, where the owners genuinely want others to enjoy their second home, then you won’t be disappointed with number 38 Carrick Widden. Fixtures and fittings are of excellent quality, including the fluffy towels. The bed is super comfy and there’s nothing better than sitting in an armchair with a glass of wine, looking across the sea to Hayle and Godrevy……even if the rain is pouring down! Thoroughly enjoyed our fortnight and hope to spend many more holidays here.

We absolutely loved 38 Carrack Widden. We have used Aspects for all of our St Ives Holidays & can't imagine using anyone else, always fantastic & helpful. The little touch from owners Bob & Norma were lovely, fresh coffee, milk tea & a gorgeous card, really helpful information, even dvds & games to use. The king-sized bed was a dream, parking space right outside a double wardrobe to hang my many outfits but the view of porthminster & over to Hayle was perfect. Thanks so much, look forward to staying again xxx

A beautifully furnished flat, which was very clean, well equipped and welcoming. Added bonus an adjacent parking space. Fantastic view - could sit looking out the window all day. Just a short walk into town. Will definitely stay here again. Didn’t want to leave.

Great holiday accommodation overlooking beach. Fixtures and fittings of a high standard. Nothing negative .A credit to the owners.

38 Carrack Widden is a stunning, comfortable flat with a fabulous view in an excellent location.

We commend the owners for their choice of decor and congratulate the house keeper as the flat is immaculately clean.

We have holidayed with Aspects for 15 years and have never once had an issue as their organisation is top notch.

This is the third time we stayed at 38 Carrack Widden and we will definitely be back again. The location is perfect, the view is amazing and the apartment is beautifully kept and very comfortable.

A great place to stay, great views. Well placed to all the local amenities and other places to visit. Couldn't fault a thing and would definitely visit again.

38 Carrick Widden is a well presented property. Comfortable, well equipped and has great views. Parking is a big plus and convenient for getting out of St Ives if you want to. We have stayed twice now and would stay again. Aspects are responsive and easy to deal with

Lovely very comfortable apartment which was very clean and welcoming. Beautiful views from large windows overlooking Porthminster beach. Despite St Ives being busy the apartments are quiet and the only noise was the seagulls! Would definitely stay here again. The apartment was well equipped and we had a great week here

38 Carrack Widden is a lovely flat. It is well positioned, and a quick walk into town. The carpark is a welcome addition although the space for number 38 is a little tight if you have a big car.

38 Carrack Widden is a very comfortable and well furnished apartment in St Ives. Great views and easy parking, an essential for us in St Ives. Gentle walk into town. Bit of a hill coming back. Aspects are very helpful, we have rented through them the last three years. Only a minor problem once and dealt with quickly. We like the fact that we can pick up the keys in Hayle on the way down, without getting involved in the St Ives traffic system and drop off on the way home.

You won’t be sorry staying here Stunning views from window, clean, comfortable, mod cons & central position.

You won’t be disappointed by number 38 Carrack Widden. The additional, personal touches such as ground coffee and a small gift pack of flavoured tea bags are thoughtful and it is nice that the owners obviously welcome their visitors rather than treating them as cash generators.

This flat is in a great location with a lovely view out to sea. The flat is very comfortable and has a large shower,all the rooms are decorated to a high standard,a flat that makes you feel at home.

We always book our holidays through Aspects and have never been disappointed.

Perfect base for our holiday in St Ives. In fact, we only used the car once during the whole week. Flat was clean and comfortable. Bed was perfect and led to a perfect nights sleep.

We have stayed at several Carrack Widdens over the years, 38 is one of the best, comfortable and spacious with good facilities.

Beautiful views across Porthminster beach. Apartment finished to a high standard. Loved the kitchen. Can easily walk to the harbour within 15 minutes so well located.

A first class flat which has been decorated and furnished to a very high standard.

Nice to stay somewhere where the owners are obviously proud of their property and are happy to share it!

Truly beautiful and stunning apartment, this really is a home from home. That view will certainly take your breath away, we could just sit there for hours. We couldn't fault a thing!

We saw the Dolphins!!

Absolutely lovely property the best we’ve ever stayed in. We were very sad to leave but we hope to return very soon. Couldn’t fault it in any way, we had a very pleasant stay and the view was stunning. Thank you very much.

We always know we will have a warm and comfortable stay what ever the weather, (including snow).

This property is perfect for a couple looking for somewhere within easy walking distance of the town and harbour with the added benefit of a parking space right behind the property. There are only a few steps to negotiate making the process of arriving and departing straightforward and stress-free. The flat is well-equipped and has the benefit of beautiful views over Porthminster Beach to Hayle and Godrevy Lighthouse beyond. Perfect for a relaxing break - short or long!

Great location, near the beach, apartment furnished to a very high standard, lovely comfy bed, powerful shower, flat screen tv, sofa, great views of the beach, free parking.

We have now stayed at No 38 twice. A lovely, clean and comfortable flat with a truly fabulous view. Right in town, and extremely convenient to a fabulous beach with restaurant and bar. A great location.

We have been coming to Carrack Widden flats since 1985/6 with different agents and different flats, but 38 is the best flat and Aspects are the best agents we have had.

An ideal cottage with everything you need, 300 yards from town. Excellent sea view

The cleanliness and views from the property (over looking the beach) were exceptional. The property location was just perfect and everything was within walking distance. We had the best time and didn't want to go home!

Best flat we have stayed in, in Carrack Widden. We have stayed in lots of flats here, this one is top's. All what you need. Good shower,bed, fittings, tv's lots of hot water. Flat finished to a very high standard, you will not be disappointed ! Thankyou for a very enjoyable holiday. Its a property you will rebook !

Fantastic accommodation! Superb in every way! Couldn't ask for more!

This property is a little gem in St Ives, it is close to all the lovely quant shops in the town centre, the railway station is really nearby and the trains run regularly and the fares are very reasonable. The bus station is also a stones throw away and there is a good bus timetable. The porthminster beach is literally right in front of the flat and accessible down a flight of steps, best beach in St Ives. Overall a fantastic place to rest relax and breathe in the sea air and eat at the many restaurants St Ives has to offer.

Stunning apartment excellent location view to die for

Beautifully decorated, extremely modern and comfortable apartment. Could you please include sunshine next time!

We had a lovely summer holiday at 38 Carrack Widden. Perfect location, parking space, beautifully decorated and the best view in St Ives!!! Thinking of booking again for next year! Really impressed :)

We have stayed in Carrack Widden apartments many times and 38 is now the best. They provide everything to make your stay as comfortable as possible. The staff try to help with any problems you may have.

Fantastic view and great modern apartment.

A very comfortable apartment. It made our holiday !!!! We have stayed in carrack widden properties on numerous occasions and this one is the best. Thank you.
