Guests that stayed at this property said
Most guests found Laurellie to be clean and well-presented, though a few mentioned specific instances where cleanliness was not up to their expectations, such as leftover balloons and a piece of clothing from previous guests. These seem to be isolated incidents rather than a general trend.
The location is consistently praised for its stunning views, proximity to the beach, and convenient access to local transport and attractions. Guests appreciate the short walk to the train station and the ease of visiting nearby St. Ives.
Guests find the apartments comfortable, particularly enjoying the conservatory and the views it offers. However, some guests mentioned issues with the beds and a desire for larger sizes, which suggests room for improvement in this area.
The apartments are described as well-equipped with everything needed for a self-catering holiday. Criticisms include outdated TVs and minor maintenance issues like a broken fridge tray and a difficult-to-open window. These comments indicate that while facilities are generally good, some updates and repairs are necessary.
While some guests mention a welcome pack and a thoughtful gesture for a child, there is not enough consistent information about gifts to accurately score this category. It should be noted that such gifts are a bonus and not guaranteed with every stay.

Once we entered the property the photos didnât do it justice and it was an absolute pleasure to stay here. The sea view is the best view Iâve ever experienced, which includes travelling to the Maldives. The extra added bonus was the train line which was 5 mins from door to platform then 5 minutes into St. Ives which was just as stunning as Carbis Bay. Would highly recommend, we are looking to return as soon as we can.
