Guests say
Seafield in St. Ives, Cornwall, is a well-regarded cottage with stunning views and a contemporary, high-end feel. Guests appreciate its beautiful decoration, proximity to the beach, and the upgraded living room and balcony. While some minor issues were noted, the overall experience is of a fantastic, clean, and comfortable property ideal for a relaxing holiday.
The property is generally praised for its cleanliness, with guests finding it tidy and well-kept. There were minor oversights such as uncleaned remote controls and crumbs in table grooves, but these seem to be exceptions rather than the rule.
The location is highly praised for its spectacular coastal views and proximity to local amenities and beaches. The steep walk to the beach may challenge some, but the scenic surroundings and accessibility to St. Ives are well-received.
Comfort is generally rated highly, with guests enjoying the property's furnishings and layout. Some guests mentioned issues with bed comfort and noise from seagulls, but these comments were not widespread.
Facilities are well-regarded, with the property being well-equipped. However, there were comments about missing outdoor furniture, a lack of Wi-Fi in some areas, and some maintenance issues, which suggests room for improvement.
While guests have suggested that additional items such as a welcome hamper would enhance their stay, there is not enough consistent information on thoughtfulness or gifts to accurately score this category. It should be noted that such amenities are not guaranteed.
About this property
This superb, semi-detached property is situated on a quiet residential road in popular Carbis Bay. Set over three floors, this high-quality property provides wonderful accommodation for a family holiday. As you enter into the beautifully designed open plan living area, enjoy stunning sea views, whilst the smart kitchen allows you to cook up a storm as you prepare family meals which can be enjoyed on the balcony. Up the stairs is a gorgeous master bedroom boasting a Juliet balcony with further sea views and an en-suite bathroom. The lower ground floor has two further bedrooms, both with doors leading to the lawned garden.
Sit outside on the patio and enjoy a morning coffee as you plan your day's adventures with the water twinkling in the distance. Carbis Bay resort is reached by a short downhill walk and features a Blue Flag beach, an ocean sports centre and a wide range of shops, bars and cafes, and be sure to stop off in the Carbis Bay Hotel for a pre-dinner drink. St Ives is just a couple of miles along the coast and is famous for its dinky harbour, quaint winding streets, art galleries and boutique shops. Whatever you choose to do on your Cornish holiday, Seafield will provide memories that will last a lifetime.
Positioned a short drive from St Ives, Carbis Bay is best-known for its stretch of pure white sand, with turquoise waters and sheltered conditions. The beach is also home to the Ocean Sports Centre, so if sunbathing is not really your thing, why not hire a kayak or SUP and get out on the water instead? There is a small range of local shops and restaurants as well as a fish and chip takeaway and railway branchline. The train journey from Carbis Bay into St Ives is perhaps one of the most beautiful in the country.

We found the property very clean and well equipped. There was lots of storage space, comfy beds and a very spacious main bedroom. We found the Wi-Fi fine in all rooms. Our only very minor comment would be too few small tumbler style glasses ( although there was plenty of wine glasses âºï¸)
