About this property

Settled in the popular coastal village of Carbis Bay, Cornwall, is this luxury five-bedroom holiday home, Beachcroft. Enjoying a superb location just moments away from the beach and local amenities, and a contemporary interior with historic original features dating back to the 1920’s, and exceptional views of the bay and sea at every turn, Beachcroft is a fabulous choice for a group or family of 10. The property benefits from being eco-friendly, ample off-road parking, a beautiful, landscaped front garden with seating, and a garden to the side of the house with decking and furniture, perfect for alfresco dining. Inside, you will find a light and airy kitchen, housing everything you need to cook up your favourite dishes, ready to enjoy at the dining table for 10 over bottles of fizz and stunning sea views. Adjoining the kitchen is a handy utility space featuring all your laundry essentials. Continue through to find an inviting sitting room, where you can kick-back and relax on the plush seating in front of the crackling woodburning stove, as your favourite show plays out on the TV. If you fancy a movie night with loved ones, Beachcroft enjoys its own dedicated media room where you can enjoy bowls of popcorn and a film on the big screen, delight in a board game, or enjoy a game on the PS4. Completing the ground floor is a cloakroom for your convenience. Upstairs, five beautifully-decorated bedrooms await, two super-king-size, one with zip/link, two king-size, and a twin with zip/link, all with their own en-suite bathroom/shower room and offering a perfect sanctuary to catch your rest in at the end of the day. Explore the village, where you can treat your loved ones to a meal out at The Bean Inn, La Casita, and The Cornish Arms, stock up on essentials at the convenience stores and supermarkets, embark on a scenic hike along the renowned South West Coast Path, or spend a day along the gorgeous shores of Carbis Bay Beach. Just outside of the village you will find St Ives, where you can create your own souvenir at The Leach Pottery, tour the popular art venues of Tate St Ives and the Barbara Hepworth Museum and Sculpture Studio, sample fresh seafood at The Rum & Crab Shack, try your hand at surfing at Porthmeor Beach, or sample a sweet treat from Moomaid of Zennor. Continue onto Hayle, where you will find the Hayle Swimming Pool, RSPB Hayle Estaury, and the Paradise Park and JungleBarn, or venture further afield to Penzance, home to the Penlee House Gallery & Museum, the Jubilee Pool, a picturesque harbour, and a ferry offering trips out to the Isles of Scilly. All this and more awaits at Beachcroft.

Carbis Bay is a picturesque beach community just a short drive from the world-famous St. Ives. The beach is ideal for a traditional day at the beach, with its turquoise seas and protected circumstances giving it a subtropical feel. If lounging in the sun is not your thing, the Ocean Sports Centre is located right on the beach, so you can rent a kayak or stand-up paddleboard and enjoy some time on the water instead. Another option is to enjoy the Cornish sunshine with a cocktail on the hotel's wonderful patio while getting pampered at the hotel's spa. There are a few places to eat and shop in Carbis Bay, as well as a fish and chip takeout and a railroad spur. The train ride from Carbis Bay to St. Ives is renowned as one of the most scenic in the country, and the town of St. Ives itself is a fantastic tourist destination thanks to its abundance of art galleries. It's also not far to the town of Hayle, which features a golf course and a wildlife sanctuary, and is located on the water. Carbis Bay's proximity to the Godrevy Nature Reserve and the Penwith Heritage Coast makes them ideal destinations for outdoor and watersports enthusiasts looking to expand their horizons beyond swimming, surfing, and kayaking. If you're planning a trip to Cornwall and want to see its stunning coastline, Carbis Bay is a great place to stay.

    The kitchen was extremely well equipped, & the layout downstairs gave everyone space to enjoy being together. The bedrooms were great, especially the ones with the view across the coves, & very comfortable & clean. We were a bit confused by the parking situation, as the people in Beechwood Cottage came round to say we shouldn't have any cars in that carpark, even though it is signed Beachcroft....? And not sure if one of our party arriving early made the cleaners rush but a lot of surfaces were still dusty & we wiped the kitchen tops down (just to be sure). The main reasons we have given 4 stars are: - we had to phone Sykes Customer Services to get the key code for the boiler room key because the heating was on full when we arrived (maybe include in arrival information?), but then found the heating quite complicated to control, even with the instructions (on the few colder days we really needed it on). Perhaps a "crib" sheet with simple steps to follow would be useful? - We found the seating around the dining table really uncomfortable. - The TV system in the TV room seems to only have streaming services downloaded (itvX, BBC iPlayer, Netflix, Disney+ etc), so anything we wanted to watch on a terrestrial channel (BBC, ITV etc) showing at it's actual time could only be watched on the TV in the dining room. Didn't understand why all channels couldn't be on that TV...? We really loved being down in Carbis Bay & we really loved the house. We hope the owners take our feedback in the genuine spirit it is given. We'd love to come back & we will recommend.

    The views were just stunning especially from the front bedrooms. The kitchen was amazingly well kitted out with almost everything we needed ( if I had to find something then a whisk would be handy but that literally was the only thing missing) The absolute icing on the cake was finding out that the outdoor shower had a hot tap, just what was needed after a few hours in the sea. The house was spotless so an extra thank you to the cleaners. Thank you

    Beach was excellent although you do develop better leg muscles and improve your fitness for the walk back to the house. It was the first time some of the group did not use their car, shopping was easy walk 5 mins away. Would love to return
