  My stay at this holiday home was perfect in every way.

  The lounge has the most incredible view it really takes your breath away. The kitchen is super modern and high tech, I enjoyed my morning nespresso coffee looking out of the big windows at the sea. The kitchen is also very well stocked for any meals you want to have in. The sofas are large and comfortable and the TV has all the sky channels and movies. The upstairs bedroom suite is stunning with gorgeous views where I took a bath looking out of the huge windows. It also has a separate toilet and shower. There is an upstairs sofa bed room with another tv for any separate lounging. The downstairs double bedroom also has a gorgeous view and an en suite. There is also a twin room downstairs and a whole separate bathroom. All rooms are decorated to the highest standard and are super modern. The location is ideal. It is about a 10 minute walk into the main st ives town. The benefit of this is that you are out of the central town and therefore it is lovely and quiet and the views are incredible from up there. You are also very close to the best beach (in my opinion!) Porthminster which has a cute cafe serving hot drinks/cocktails/food and one of the best restaurants in st ives, Porthminster Beach Cafe. Make sure to book a table ahead of time as it can get busy. The Pend Olva and the Harbour Hotel are both also very close by and are two more of the best restaurants. This was the most relaxing break I could have asked for and I can’t wait to come back and stay again. Emma

  "Probably the best view we've ever had of any holiday villa we've stayed at, this includes the south of France, lake district, Devon, Germany etc.

  Just amazing! The house was very comfortable and had some little touches that we really loved - binoculars, really well equipped kitchen and lots of mugs, so you don't constantly have to wash up. The large fridge freezer was great and made sure we enjoyed the best of the local produce. The beds were all really comfortable and the linen good so we all slept really well. Carbis Bay is a great location, really quiet being residentail but a short walk to St Ives for all the hustle and bustle, perfect. Porthmeor beach cafe - we saw two seals swimming past whilst eating some of the best tapas and fish I've ever had . Magical! The Queens hotel St Ives - we pitched up on a rainy night and had some wonderful food, check out the menu it is just superb. And then to top it of they had an open mic night, a great time for everyone. Godolphin - we went for the bluebells and spent a great time at the property having a tour of the house and enjoying the local arts and crafts at the food and crafts fair.Glendurgan gardens - beautiful and with a great history.Clamoring over the rocks at Godrevy point and again we were joined by a seal for just a few minutes but they were very special moments.We always find Cornwall a special pace but this property made sure we could make the most of out time, even if just walking down to the beach and watching the waves roll in."

  "We really enjoyed our week in Carbis Bay.

  Chy Lowen was beautiful, home from home and had everything we could wish for. We liked the open plan living area and the fact that all the bedrooms had a bathroom. It was in a lovely location with wonderful sea views. Very convenient to join the coastal path and walk the very scenic route in to St Ives or down to Carbis Bay beach. The nearest footpath to do this is just down the road in Parc Owles. All the beaches around here are lovely, Porthkidney is just round from Carbis Bay Beach where dogs can go all year round, although they can go on Carbis Bay beach before 8 a.m. and after 7 p.m. Lots of nice restaurants but we would highly recommend having a meal at Porthminster Beach Cafe and we also had a nice meal at The Captain’s Table which is upstairs in The Sloop Inn. It’s a nice walk in to St Ives in the evening and easy to get a taxi back to the house if too late to walk back. We had a wonderful week with lots of walking and look forward to coming back again soon." J. Davies

  Chy Lowen is a wonderful property to stay in, so much that we would like to stay again in 2024.

  Some points that we noted were: 1. We found the sofa too soft. It's ok once you're in, but it's not too easy to get out of! (A minor point). 2. Ground floor bathroom. If the window was kept shut for more than a couple of days, then the smell of damp would occur. As we didn't use this bathroom very much, it wasn't an issue for us. Perhaps it would be an issue for larger parties. 3. Oven trays need replacing. 4. Corner unit to access kitchen equipment is not user friendly. 5. A large picture would be nice above the fire. 6. The lamps in the lounge are cheap and nasty. 7. Outside BBQ grill needs to be cleaned / replaced. 8. The 3 steps going up to the lawn made me nervous when wet - slippy. I'm not elderly, I'm 52. A rail may be helpful. The above are minor points and there are many positive things about the property that makes us want to stay again next year.

  The property was very impressive and had the best view of St Ives we have experienced.

  The general cleanliness was fine and the property itself met the needs of our party. However, there was a smell eminating from the vent in the 2nd floor bathroom which was very unpleasant which permiated to the whole property if we been out for the day.. We had to open all the balcony patio doors to relieve the problem. The smell was detectable at all times in the bathroom. I feel this should be addressed. Also a fire blanket had opened on the living area of the property which did spoil the flow of the area and was a bit of an eyesore. We were given forewarning of this by a member of the Carbis Bay Holidays team whilst on our journey to the property. These two problems did somewhat take the shine off what is a really lovely comfortable property which met our needs beautifully. We would stay there in an instant if these things were addressed.
