    Think we had the first dry week of the year, couldn't believe our luck. Lovely walks, great area, great views. A bit windy but you can't have everything in April. One small issue with the apartment, to warm. All sorted quickly though with the Carbis Bay team.

    So comfortable and well equipped, it had everything we needed, would love to return. Only minus for us was the pin code needed to watch Sky Movies before 9pm. This was expected and explained beforehand but meant I could never finish a film as I'd be asleep by 9.30 after walking up that hill from the beach!

  • T & P

    Apartment is super. Well worth a visit!
