Dog Friendly Cottages in St Ives

Reviews

What our customers say about their holidays

• Valerie - Verified booking

  The house was perfect for us (family of 7 + dog celebrating 3 big birthdays this year) in size, facilities (inside & out), location (stunning views, access to beach), & accessibility to bus & train travel.

  The kitchen was extremely well equipped, & the layout downstairs gave everyone space to enjoy being together. The bedrooms were great, especially the ones with the view across the coves, & very comfortable & clean. We were a bit confused by the parking situation, as the people in Beechwood Cottage came round to say we shouldn't have any cars in that carpark, even though it is signed Beachcroft....? And not sure if one of our party arriving early made the cleaners rush but a lot of surfaces were still dusty & we wiped the kitchen tops down (just to be sure). The main reasons we have given 4 stars are: - we had to phone Sykes Customer Services to get the key code for the boiler room key because the heating was on full when we arrived (maybe include in arrival information?), but then found the heating quite complicated to control, even with the instructions (on the few colder days we really needed it on). Perhaps a "crib" sheet with simple steps to follow would be useful? - We found the seating around the dining table really uncomfortable. - The TV system in the TV room seems to only have streaming services downloaded (itvX, BBC iPlayer, Netflix, Disney+ etc), so anything we wanted to watch on a terrestrial channel (BBC, ITV etc) showing at it's actual time could only be watched on the TV in the dining room. Didn't understand why all channels couldn't be on that TV...? We really loved being down in Carbis Bay & we really loved the house. We hope the owners take our feedback in the genuine spirit it is given. We'd love to come back & we will recommend.

  Spent a lovely week here in July 2024.

  We were 2 families and had lots of space. Bedrooms are beautiful all with amazing en-suites and very comfy beds. Great views of the bay and fantastic location. Kitchen has everything you need, look out for the shallow secret drawers for cutlery and small utensils. We missed those initially. The media tablet that is mentioned in the welcome pack for controlling music around the house was missing while we were there and were told it was broken and a replacement was being sourced. But it didn't matter and didn't spoil our stay. One important fact is the parking in front of the house where the 'Beachcroft' sign is, is mainly for other residents behind. But if there are free spaces you can park there. So we parked our 2 cars on the driveway to the side of the house, in front of the garage. Plenty of room for 3 cars really. We had a great stay and walked down to the beach a couple of days, got the bus into St Ives another day, and visited Healeys Cider Farm another day. Overall we would highly recommend Beachcroft for a family stay. Thank you Carbis Bay Holidays for making it available to us.

  The cleanliness was not acceptable. We shuffled a few things around on arrival and had to hover immediately. The ground floors was just filthy. There was also chewing gum stuck to a mirror. Two of the ensuite bathroom door handles was defective. A member of our group got locked into one of them and we had to remove the handles to turn the bar to let them out. The hob is really temperamental and just would not turn on at times and also just turned off on numerous occasions for no reason. The location is amazing with a bus stop outside the door giving access to all surrounding areas. Carbis beach is just down the hill. The open plan living area is a great space, as is the outdoor area. It would benefit with the addition of a BBQ. Overall, mixed feelings due to the defects and cleanliness issues but the location and living areas were great.

  Beautiful property to the highest standards! Every bedroom is lovely - light and BIG with all but 1 having modern stunning en-suites. The upstairs open-plan living area is amazing! The most modern cooking facilities with multiple ovens and loads of new pans/pots/containers. Local pubs and shops are within walking distance too. Loved the small added extras - swing ball in the garden, bubbles & biscuits on arrival and so much more. We would have loved there to be a BBQ available to use and the while the views were fabulous, the walk down to the beach and back up were very steep. Walking distance to the train station too which was really useful but the walk back up is a challenge for the fittest! Aside from that, the place was absolutely perfect thank you. Oh and this was for 6 adults (40-70yrs old) and 2 children (9yrs& 11yrs old).
