Joanne
The accommodation was absolutely pristine and in superb order throughout. The communication from the property owners was excellent and there were some lovely touches like complimentary milk, apple juice and biscuits waiting for us when we arrived. The location is ideal as it is on a bus route, close to the coastal railway station and coastal walks, which meant we didn't need to use our car at all. All in all it was a wonderful holiday and we look forward to returning.

A beautifully spotless apartment, very tastefully decorated with great, high quality equipment and technology throughout. It is ideally positioned with a bus stop outside for easy access to St Ives, and also with a walk down a (very!) steep hill to the golden sands of Carbis Bay and also the railway station. The view from the rear of the apartment over the bay is lovely. Yet again we thoroughly enjoyed our holiday in this fantastic apartment and would love to return. Many thanks to John and Maggie once again!
