  We have just stayed at 3, Sandy Lane for 7-nights and it has been simply wonderful.We are a family of 4 with two children aged 7 and 5 who loved their first ever UK holiday!The apartment is fairly spacious, modern, clean and finished to a high standard - Dualit kettle and toaster, Joseph Joseph utensils, John Lewis crockery are simple examples of where luxury and attention to detail have been observed.The decor is light, bright and feels like a ‘home from home’.The beautiful bi-fold doors open onto a large terrace area that stretches around the side of the apartment where two rattan sun beds can be found…and are perfectly located to catch those Cornish rays of sunshine in the event the sun makes an appearance - which fortunately it did for us!The beds are comfortable and beautifully made up - just be mindful they are double beds so if you have a super king sized bed at home it takes some adjusting to!The apartment itself is perfectly located to explore all Cornwall has to offer - we took trips out to the Minack Theatre, Lands End and Hayle beach just to name a few and none took too long to get to.Carbis Bay train station is about a 3-minute walk away and ideal to jump on to travel to the nearby town of St Ives - in fact, I’d suggest it is a must as the views are spectacular and parking in St Ives is hellish!Carbis Bay beach takes just 5-10 minutes to walk to - even with two kids and body boards in tow -though the walk back is a good 10-15 given it’s uphill!I honestly, can’t recommend 3, Sandy Lane enough as the perfect place to stay in the event you’re visiting north Cornwall. We’ll certainly be looking to return next year and hope the exceptional standards set have been maintained.Thanks you to the owners and Cornwall Hideaways for the perfect staycation.

  Upon arrival of this property the parking was very easy to find and loved that we had a big enough space plus lots of unloading room.

  Getting in the property was very easy and we were blown away by how spacious it was inside and very clean. Both bedrooms were a good size and have lots of storage. The kitchen had everything we needed for a comfortable stay and a big thank you for the dishwasher tablets as the last place we stayed didn’t have any and had to go out to get some. The welcome book was great to know everything about the property, one little thing the WiFi page is missing and had to hunt around for this (found the black feedback book which it was in there) I would recommend this place to anyone coming to carbis bay and we have even said that we are strongly considering booking next year because of how close it was to lots of places to visit, easy access to transport and that we had such a comfortable stay. thank you again. If there was one thing I would love to fix.. (ps nothing to do with the property) it’s the main entrance door to all the apartments. This door swings open and have no soft close, meaning it bangs shut. This is horrible when people are up at 1am or 7am etc taking dogs out can shock you and wake you up. Even if people just walked it shut, that would be an improvement.

  The apartment is in a lovely location and within walking distance to the St Ives habour area, with a nice path through the woods and a bridge over the railway line or you could easily take the train.

  The apartment is well equipped with good crockery, cookware and utensils. There is a washing machine, dishwasher, clothes drying racks, iron, ironing board and boards games, reading books etc. The only downside for me was that the unit has small windows that don't open much so sea views can be hampered. We all had to congregate or share the two small windows to get a view. The views would be amazing if the windows could open more or differently. Check in and out is self service and the instructions via email are clear. Could not get the Sky TV channels to work so it would be good if there were instructions for key items put up in the apartment e.g. the geyser was switched off when we got in, so we had to figure this out. The lift to the unit is really helpful and convenient to get through luggage and groceries. Welcome gifts of biscuits, chocolates and juice was a lovely gesture by the host.
