Guests that stayed at this property said
The property is consistently described as clean, with one review specifically noting cleanliness as 'second to none'. However, a few minor issues regarding chipped crockery and a damp smell in one room slightly affect the score.
The location is highly praised for its stunning views, proximity to Carbis Bay Beach, and easy access to St Ives via train or footpath. The peacefulness of the area compared to St Ives is also appreciated.
Comfort is well-regarded with mentions of high-quality furnishings and a well-equipped property. Some guests suggested improvements such as blackout blinds and fans for hot nights, indicating slight room for enhancement in comfort.
Facilities are generally praised, especially the hot tub and the high standard of the property's finish. However, there are several mentions of maintenance issues such as problems with the hot tub heating, WiFi, and washer dryer, which impact the score.
While guests have mentioned welcome gestures like wine and chocolates, there is not enough consistent information about the provision of such gifts to accurately score thoughtfulness. It should be noted that these gestures are appreciated but not guaranteed.
About this property
Overlooking St Ives Bay in the desirable village of Carbis Bay, Cornwall, is this enticing, semi-detached villa, Atlantic Watch 7. Enjoying impressive sea-views from most of its rooms and a private hot tub to melt your worries away, this reverse-level holiday home is ideal for a family escape to the Cornish coast. Leave your vehicle in an off-road parking space outside the front door, before stepping inside to the first floor to discover the open-plan living space, bathed in natural light with its sliding doors and scenic 180 degree sea views over the beautiful sandy bay. Unwind on the sofa with a cup of tea in hand as you savour the sights or flick through the TV for a Sky movie, where you can snuggle together with a bucket of popcorn. Conjure up mouth-watering dishes in the contemporary kitchen, hosting an oven, grill and gas hob and when meals are piping hot gather around the dining table to toast your getaway. French doors lead out to the balcony from the kitchen, alternatively you can watch the sunset over the horizon on the terrace and when the sky grows dark take a dip in the hot tub for a spot of stargazing. As the evening draws to an end, choose between two beautifully presented bedrooms, a king-size with a private Juliet balcony to make the most of the sea-views and a twin bedroom, which is perfect for younger guests. Awaken with a hot shower or relax your muscles in the bathroom with an indulgent soak before exploring the gems of Cornwall. A short walk will lead you to the golden sands of Carbis Bay, an award-winning beach, where you can swim or surf the clear waters and afterwards enjoy a scenic stroll along the South West Coast Path. Visit the jewel of Cornwall, St Ives, dotted with traditional cottages and lined with cobbled streets hosting boutiques, independent cafes and restaurants, as well as the Tate art gallery for fascinating exhibitions. Explore the town of Penzance to take a scenic stroll around Morrab Gardens, have some family-fun at Eureka Escape Cornwall and for a little magic head outside the town to St Michaels Mount. For a coastal escape like no other, choose Atlantic Watch 7.
The seaside community of Carbis Bay is well renowned for its magnificent stretch of pure white sand, which is only a short drive from iconic St Ives. The beach feels almost subtropical, with turquoise waters and protected conditions, and is ideal for a good old-fashioned day by the sea. The Ocean Sports Centre is located on the beach, so if sunbathing isn't your thing, rent a kayak or stand-up paddleboard and get out on the ocean instead.

We had a very enjoyable and comfortable stay. Access to St Ives was very easy by train, as was Carbis Bay, and the views were fabulous.
