Property code: OC-P00693

Sitting just over 300 metres from the golden sands of Carbis Bay Beach, this bright and light apartment is perfect for a family looking to enjoy the Cornish coast. The house is about 1 mile from central St Ives where there’s a good choice of shops, pubs, and restaurants to visit, and has views across to Godrevy Island. It also has the bonus of private parking and an enclosed garden.

The courtyard of this modern two-bedroom property is great for soaking up the sun and enjoying drinks and meals al fresco. It’s walled and fully enclosed to keep your furry friends safe. The apartment is bright, clean, and comfortable throughout with colourful designs and lovely thoughtful touches, like a Bluetooth speaker, and Netflix on the Smart TV. It has two pretty bedrooms – a double and a twin – and a shower room to keep everyone refreshed. The kitchen is compact and has everything needed to create meals for four, which can be eaten in the dining room which is drenched in natural light.

There are plenty of places to eat out locally, many of which will welcome your canine companions. The beach is stunning, surrounded by subtropical plants with crystal clear waters; it’s good for little ones as the waters are generally calm. It’s also a fab place for paddleboarding and kayaking if you fancy booking a session. Your canine companions can join you on the beach during winter or the early mornings during the main season. Carbis Bay is on the outskirts of St Ives, which you can walk to along the coast or catch a train there. If you head in the other direction, there are beautiful coastal walks to Lelant (about 1.5 miles) and the nearby town of Hayle (3.5 miles). Nature lovers may want to visit Porth Kidney in the Hayle Estuary Nature Reserve (2.5 miles away) at low tide to do some bird watching.

House was pleasant to stay in with lots of things to see and do. A warning there is a lot of steps to get to the property through the courtyard, not easy if you need to get a pram down or up. If you stay with kids we suggest Lappa valley near Newquay for a good day out and only 40 min away. The restaurant on Carbis bay beach had really good pizzas.Read more Hide

This property was in a great location - walking distance to Carbis Bay beach and the train station in a few minutes. VERY hilly though so might have to rethink if there are mobility issues. All of st ives is hilly though so may want to avoid the whole town if mobility issues a problem. The property was extremely clean and tidy and the owners have tRead morehought of everything from milk and biscuits in the fridge on arrival to a variety of dishcloths and washing tablets given which was appreciated. A couple of points to mention is that the carbon monoxide alarm beeped all week which was annoying and the bathroom light worked when it wanted to! Also the property has steps down to it in the courtyard and the lights werent working so made it a bit tricky in the dark . Response from Holiday Cottages - Thank you for your feedback, and your appreciation of Godrevy Watch. We always welcome guest feedback and take any action where appropriate. Instructions at the house offer guidance for all the facilities, including lighting. The courtyard light is motion sensitive and comes on when triggered. We were unable to find any problem with the bathroom light, but sorry to hear you had an issue with it during your stay. Apologies the carbon monoxide alarm bleeped, this is now resolved. Hide

The cottage was perfect for our family of four and one dog. The cottage is located in a perfect location near to Carbis Bay. The beds were comfortable and clean.

I would recommend this cottage. Great local restaurants, La Casita and The Gannet are within walking distance of the cottage. Hide

Godrevy Watch is a beautifully presented cottage in immaculate condition. All aspects of the cottage were impressive and very well equipped in all areas of the property. We were met by the friendly neighbour overseeing the cottage and made welcome. The cottage is in a quiet courtyard of similar properties and has lovely views of the coast.

The cottage is close to the beach, however its a very steep hill so if you struggle to walk,this would not be the place for you. Also we didn't realise that dogs are not allowed on the beach after 10am. But we could not fault the cottage
