Search hotels in Carbis Bay

There were horrendously noisy building works taking place during our stay which we were not forewarned about. We paid £350.00 per night x 3 and the photos of the “superior room with sea view” just didn’t match out expectations. Room absolutely tiny, I have seen bathrooms bigger than this. The trip was for our Honeymoon and the building works and the small size of the room ruined our stay. The staff were lovely and I cannot fault them as ultimately they’re not in charge of the rate we paid but the owners need to look at this. I did complain during my stay and the reception manager offered me a slightly larger room but it didn’t have a balcony and that’s what I had requested in my “superior room with balcony.” The reception staff could see how distressed I was so I would have thought something better could have been offered e.g some complimentary food or a treatment. We spent a further £214.00 with the hotel on drinks and treatments. (After out £1,050.00). I would have thought after the room disappointment and the horrid building works they could have knocked this off our bill. The hotel is beautiful but I would be very hesitant to recommend it at present.

I'm not really qualified to talk about Carbis Bay itself. I was there to walk the Coastal Path which is above the Bay, but I did go down on to the sands along the way. The area is very beautiful. There were lots of young families there so I suppose it must be a good place for them. One plus is that there is a little railway that runs along the coast between St Ives and St Erth. Ticket offices, short journeys, very convenient and well used by tourists. If you're going to eat out, during the day or at night, best to book in advance. If you're going in a cooler season (I went in October) make sure to take warm clothes as there can be rain and wind.

Carbis Bay was so relaxing and tranquil. It was almost like being in another part of the world. The views were spectacular when walking from our accommodation to the beach. Just so beautiful and peaceful.

Carbis bay is lovely. I would also advise St ives. Lovely fishing harbour. Plenty of places to eat. And some quaint little shops. If you like eating out. We found 3 lovely pubs. The cornish arms in hayle. The blood and bucket in hayle. And the balnoon inn. In st ives. The beach in hayle is beautiful. Its a lovely sandy beach. Overall carbis bay and St ives is well worth a visit.

A beautiful sandy beach , perfect for families with young children as the water is calmer. Toilets are pretty clean. The beach can be accessed from both ends either via some steep narrow steps (tricky with toddlers!) Or via the main road route. There are not many facilities to buy refreshments and the hotel is very expensive (£6 for 2 cans of coke!) So best to come prepared.

Living in London, this part of England truly amazed and inspired us. The landscape is absolutely beautiful even in this rainy May. The golden sand gives the sea water the colour that you wnat to see for that holiday feeling. It is quite so osrt of family oriented holiday. Don't expect clubs or anything like that. St Ives is just around the corner for more dining options. The harbour is lovely. Transport is also good but need to plan ahead.
