About this property
Nestled in the heart of the fabulous, bustling coastal town of Carbis Bay, Cornwall, lies Millies – a contemporary, two-bedroom holiday home enjoying access to communal gardens whilst boasting breath-taking views of the awe-inspiring spot of St Ives Bay. Perfectly located close to the beach and all local amenities, Millies is ideal for families, friends or couples seeking a well-deserved break by the sea. Cross the threshold into your fantastic new home-from-home and make yourself comfortable in the fully-equipped kitchen/diner, where you can enjoy cooking up delicious meals with your loved ones. Once you’ve finished your dinner, move through into the inviting sitting room, where you can relax and unwind on the sofa as you watch a film or two on the sleek, Smart TV. Alternatively, when the sun is shining, step out into the beautiful, tiered lawned garden, brimming with lush flora and vibrant plant life that enjoys lovely views of Godrevy Lighthouse, serving as a truly idyllic spot for a picnic or a special, alfresco meal. When the day draws to a close, retire to one of the two twin bedrooms, one of which can be converted into a king-size for extra flexibility. After a peaceful night, freshen up with a rejuvenating shower before heading out to explore all that Carbis Bay has to offer. Set out and explore this charming coastal village renowned for its stunning beach and unique atmosphere, where you will find a plethora of activities to choose from. For a day of adventure, visit St Ives, an idyllic seaside town with a host of galleries, shops and eateries, in addition to golden sandy beaches and the beautiful harbour. Just a few miles away, you will find Hayle, an ancient fishing port with breath-taking views of the Atlantic and a number of restaurants, pubs and shops scattered throughout the town. Further afield, take a trip to the bustling town of Penzance, home to a number of attractions from the Jubilee Pool, the historic art deco lido, to the iconic Black Rock Castle and the Egyptian House. For the ultimate escape to Cornwall, look no further than a stay at Millies.
Just a short drive from iconic St Ives, the seaside village of Carbis Bay is best-known for its beautiful stretch of pure white sand. With turquoise waters and sheltered conditions, the beach feels almost subtropical and is the perfect spot for a good old-fashioned day by the sea. The beach is also home to the Ocean Sports Centre, so if sunbathing is not really your thing, why not hire a kayak or SUP and get out on the water instead. Or why not treat yourself to a Spa day at the delightful hotel which overlooks the beach and has a fabulous terrace where cocktails can be enjoyed in the Cornish sunshine? Carbis Bay has a small range of local shops and restaurants as well as a fish & chip takeaway and railway branch line. The train journey from Carbis Bay into St Ives is perhaps one of the most beautiful in the country; St Ives additionally makes for a great day out, with plenty of galleries to explore. The quayside town of Hayle also isn't far and is home to activities for the all the family, including a golf and a wildlife sanctuary. The Godrevy Nature Reserve and Penwith Heritage Coast are also within easy reach from Carbis Bay, providing outdoors and watersports plans with even more activities to partake in, including coasteering and birdwatching. Carbis Bay is truly a wonderful holiday location for those wanting to experience Cornwall's breathtaking coastline.

Stunning gardens and breathtaking views. The gate leading to the beach road/ path to station was ideal and meant we didn't need to use the car at all. Thank you for a lovely holiday!

We had an amazing week here in this beautifully decorated property. It was immaculate and catered for everyone with all the mod cons and modern touch. Our first time in Cornwall was made so much for pleasurable in this home from home. We couldn't have asked for a more idyllic place to stay after our 7 hour journey and look forward to staying again soon. Thank you and kindest regards.

Beautiful views and a great location for easy access to the train station or walking to St Ives. We didn't move the car for 3 days which was a real bonus. Our dog loved it too, especially the stunning beach on the doorstep - gate access was ideal. Would love to stay again in the future. Thank you!
