About this property
Set at the centre of the seaside resort of Carbis Bay, Cornwall, rests this tasteful, one-bedroom holiday apartment, Flat 3 Pentowan Court. Featuring nifty on-site facilities, warm interiors, and great positioning to nearby attractions, this property is a great choice for couples seeking a romantic getaway to the Cornish coast and avid walkers, set near the picturesque coastal path. Step into your new dwelling, where you will be greeted by a well-presented, open-plan living space, complete with a well-equipped kitchen where you and your loved one can whip up delicious meals to be enjoyed at the dining table, before lounging on the plush corner sofa as you watch a film or two on the sleek, Smart TV. When the evening grows darker, indulge yourself in a long, rejuvenating shower before retiring to the bedroom, where a king-size bed invites you to embark on a well-deserved slumber. After you've savoured your morning coffee whilst taking in stunning sea views in the shared rear garden, take time to explore your local surroundings by venturing further into Carbis Bay, where you can stop for some gastropub fare at The Gannet Inn or grab a takeaway from Becks Fish & Chips to be enjoyed on the lush sands of Carbis Bay Beach. Whilst you're in the area, venture along the coastal path towards Hawkes Point or into the Steeple Woodland Nature Reserve, both spots perfect choices for an afternoon stroll in nature. You can reach St Ives by taking the picturesque train line from Carbis Bay train station, following the coastal path, taking the bus or driving into the town, where visitors can enjoy pottering around the cultured grounds of the Barbara Hepworth Museum and Sculpture Garden and the Tate St Ives, before purchasing an ice cream from Moomaid Of Zennor Ice Cream Parlour to be enjoyed during a leisurely walk along St Ives Harbour. Whatever you choose to do, enjoy a memorable romantic escape to Cornwall by booking Flat 3, Pentowan Court.
The beachfront community of Carbis Bay, which is only a short drive from famous St. Ives, is well-known for its stunning stretch of fine, white sand. The beach feels almost subtropical with its turquoise seas and protected surroundings, making it the ideal location for a traditional day by the sea. If sunbathing is not really your thing, why not rent a kayak or stand-up paddleboard (SUP) and venture out on the water instead? The Ocean Sports Centre is located on the beach. Or why not treat yourself to a spa day at the charming hotel that has a gorgeous patio where you can sip cocktails while enjoying the Cornish sunlight and views out onto the beach? Together with a takeout serving fish and chips and a railway branch line, Carbis Bay features a limited selection of neighbourhood stores and eateries. One of the most picturesque train rides in the nation takes passengers from Carbis Bay to St. Ives; St. Ives itself is a wonderful day trip destination with a variety of art galleries to see. There are family-friendly activities nearby, including golf and a wildlife sanctuary, in the quayside town of Hayle. Easily accessible from Carbis Bay, the Godrevy Natural Reserve and Penwith Heritage Coast offer even more opportunities for outdoor and watersports enthusiasts to engage in activities like coasteering and birdwatching. For anyone looking to explore Cornwall's stunning coastline, Carbis Bay is undoubtedly a fantastic vacation destination.

All things needed were provided, loved the bedroom and bathroom too (heated floor was a bonus). Location is fabulous, only took the car out twice when out on trips farther away. The little train down the road took us everywhere we needed to go. Carbis bay is probably one of the nicest coves we stayed at. My only negative for the property was the musty smell and the lack of windows. For someone who loves fresh air we couldnât even have the bedroom window opened at night as no safety locks available. The bedroom also absorbed cooking smell from the flat in courtyard through the vents. Apart from this I would recommend as a great base for a single person, couple or a 1&1 family.

Only three small issues: the bin could do with a lid, there's no shaver socket in the bathroom and we couldn't find a wheelie bi for the property. All minor things it has to be said. We really enjoyed our stay.

The flat was spotlessly clean and had everything we needed for a perfect stay. We loved the decor and good use of a small space. The location is ideal - the train station and beach are only a couple of minutes away. We will be back.
