Once we entered the property the photos didnât do it justice and it was an absolute pleasure to stay here. The sea view is the best view Iâve ever experienced, which includes travelling to the Maldives. The extra added bonus was the train line which was 5 mins from door to platform then 5 minutes into St. Ives which was just as stunning as Carbis Bay. Would highly recommend, we are looking to return as soon as we can.
