The property is very spacious and well equipped with everything you need. The beds are comfortable with lovely luxurious clean linen. Plenty of room for the whole family to stay comfortably. What a beautiful place to spend a holiday in. Will definitely go again.

However over the last few years we have noticed the company is lacking in the âluxuryâ it promises. The property was NOT CLEAN and fit for purpose. Dirty kitchen, unclean bathroom floor, hairs in the beds and a thick layer of dust. Then when I brought this to the attention of Carbis bay holidays I was made to feel it was my problem and that I was being too fussy. The house keeper came to do a re clean and offered me some cleaning products incase I spot anything else not clean! Hardly the start of a relaxing luxury break. Also the heating and hot water had been switched off so that was another red flag. In my experience from other self catering holidays, toiletries are provided as well as a substantial welcome pack with wines and treats. Carbis bay holidays provided a pint of milk and some chocolate drops. Again, not really in line with their branding of âluxuryâ They claim no toiletries is due to the environment, but we holiday in plenty of places that manage to provide these in a refillable sustainable away, still giving a luxury feel. The property location and view can not be beaten but it is let down by Carbis Bay holidays. I will be careful to avoid booking with them in the future. And sadly do not recommend. A property like this deserves to be let through an agency who provide a true luxury and customer service to its customers and Carbis bay certainly does not deliver on this. In fact any holiday home luxury or not should be provided in a clean hospitable state for people looking for a relaxing holiday.

We all enjoyed our stay immensely and all facilities provided us with a perfect place to get together. Location could not be better as easy access to all places whatever you wish to do. Good place to leave the car parked up and enjoy walking or make use of public transport. Note to owner: The bracket for the guttering roughly in the middle of the left hallway windows has been blown off. Water is pouring down the windows like a waterfall and this was particularly noisy at night.
