Us as a family had a fantastic time, it was our 1st visit to Cornwall. 1st of all the location was amazing . Just a few minutes walk to carbis bay beach which is an amazing beach and bay . Also you can Jump on the bus ( just outside ) or the train and head to St. Ives .. saves parking etc.. The house was fantastic, clean , tidy , the beds was super comfortable. And the house had everything in it like home from home . 2 space parking out the rear . So nice and safe for kids to get out the car. The fast WiFi was great , especially for all the kids Lovely rear garden to sit and relax and have a BBQ and few drinks . So definitely would recommend this place . Overall fantastic location and accommodation and a really beautiful part of the world to visit. Thanks again and will definitely visit again.

We only used one bedroom out of the four on offer, but it was nicely furnished and very comfortable. Parking was also convenient with a good sized space behind the house. Fantastic location close to the beautiful beach and opposite a shop and a great Spanish restaurant (dog friendly). One thing could be improved upon - the rear gate from the car space to the garden is quite difficult to open. Apart from that no complaints at all. We would happily return.
