Second stay at this flat. Fantastic views from the window far over St Ives Bay, and Porthminster beach which is in front of the flat. The flat is very comfortable and tastefully furnished. We would very much like to come back.

We really enjoyed our stay in this apartment with stunning views over the beach and bay. It was a very comfortable stay with all the necessary facilities to hand for a self catering holiday.

A lovely comfortable apartment with great views out of the living room. Everything required was in the apartment except a hoover. Be prepared for steep hills and a lot of steps to get back to the apartment from the town centre and railway station.

Great location and views of sunrise over Carbis Bay. We saw seals on several days from the apartment window. Handy for the bus station and train station but the walk to/from town might be a problem with limited mobility - either steep road or a couple of flights of steps to Carrack Widden. Good parking slot for this flat.

The position of this property with its dedicated parking place and outstanding views over Porthminster beach and the bay beyond, make this property very desirable. Having the beds made up for your stay and towels provided is also welcome after a long journey.

Lovely apartment with amazing view over Porthminster beach & the sea. Comfortable lounge area with 2 sofas & a large TV. Nice bedroom with plenty of storage. Kitchen area has all you need although we didn't need to use the oven as we tended to eat out. Bathroom is fine with toilet washbasin & bath with decent shower

Lovely apartment, views you can die for, located 15 minutes walk to St Ives beach, some steep inclines to conquer to and from the beach, not for the infirm or disabled. Appartment has everything you need for your stay, looking a little dated in places but comfortable.

Very comfortable flat with the most fantastic views of St Ives Bay, and the train coming in and out of the station below - we preferred to have our evening meals at the flat so we could fully enjoy the view.
