Stayed at Little Coombe for week first week of June, fantastic location to the beach, bit of a steep climb back to property, the house was great had everything you need. Only thing I could fault it with is that the garden wasn’t enclosed
Die Lage, die Ausstattung und die gesamte Abwicklung rund um die Buchung waren hervorragend. Das Haus bietet alles, was man sich wünscht. Wir hatten zwei herrliche Wochen dort und haben den Aufenthalt sehr genossen. Am Strand ist man in 5 Minuten und der Weg
nach St. Ives am Meer entlang ist wunderschön. In der Umgebung gibt es viel zu sehen und die Entfernungen sind gering. Gerne wieder!! Danke für Alles!!
A perfect base for us to explore the local area. Beautifully clean and well maintained throughout. The cottage is very comfortable and well equipped with a lovely relaxing outdoor space (complete with sneaky views of the sea). We made the most of the body boards in the shed - very useful! Perfectly located for 5ish minute walk to Carbis Bay beach and a walk or train to St Ives. Steep hills but the pain is over very quickly! I would highly recommend Little Coombe.
Absolutely loved this property...............................the cleanest holiday home ever. Great comms with Paul and Bryan. Property had everything we needed and was well located.
We had a wonderful 6 night stay in Little Coombe. Fabulous location, 5- 10 minute walk to Carbis Bay Beach, or 3 minutes on train to St Ives. Had everything we needed, felt really cosy and enjoyed waking to those Fabulous sea views. Enjoyed my breakfast on patio overlooking sea every morning! Can't wait to return. Thank you to Paul and Lucy who were both very helpful x
Little Coombe is a fantastic property, it has everything anyone would need to make a stay in Carbis Bay and surroundings very comfortable. The proximity to golden/white sandy beaches and the lovely St.Ives is right at the top of the list.
We really enjoyed our stay and will definitely want to visit again in the future. The location definitely improved our fitness!
Just back from a week at this property . I can honestly say we didnt want to come home . The property itself is amazing and so close to be able to travel around the whole of the south of cornwall . Communication with the owner was spot on . Thank you Brian for allowing people to stay at your wonderfull house . Also thanks again to Paul for your help on the first night when we couldnt work out the hob lol ... Hopefully will be back to stay again .
The property was very clean and well equipped. Fantastic sea views and quiet location. Five minute walk to the beach and supermarket. Would like to return ....
Excellent location and easy access despite the Cornish lanes! Very well equipped and furnished with numerous lovely pictures on the walls. Outside area fine with plenty of seating space and a partial sea view. Easy walk down to the lovely beach....not quite so easy back up the hill! St Ives an easy hour's stroll away.
All in all a great success and, apart from a small bathroom with rather difficult shower I'd have no hesitation in recommending the property and location.
Excellent from start to finish. Brian, the host was very helpful & lovely. The bungalow itself was beautifully presented & well equipped.... extras too!
The view was absolutely stunning. Highly recommended.
Was not happy that at 8.55am on day of departure owner on door step wanting to enter to clean property - we had not even left - we were ready to leave but felt pressured - think this is very unacceptable
We stayed at the property due to a family wedding nearby and it did not disappoint. Everything was as described. House was immaculate, location great and contact with owner excellent. Would definitely stay again if in the Carbis Bay area. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay, thanks Bryan and his brother/team.
This property is in the perfect position for walking between beach, train station and food provisions, with a regular bus to Penzance too.
It’s lovely and quiet at night, and has a lovely patio to enjoy breakfast in the sun. Well supplied with BBQ, all kitchen equipment and thoughtful touches of blankets, games, DVDs, books . Space for 2 cars. We had a great holiday for a family of 5 with 3 teenagers, swimming in the safe bay, and hopping in the car 30 minutes away at Porthtowan for the surf.
Highly recommended.
We spent the most idyllic week at Carbis Bay we could ever have hoped to spend. Everything about it was so easy and relaxing.
The property is brilliantly equipped with everything you could need, to at least for our young family of my wife and I and two young boys.
It is also wonderfully positioned, next to two paths that get you down to the beautiful and quiet Carbis Bay Beach within 5-10 minutes walk.
The train station is a 10-15 minute walk away making trips into the much busier St Ives with all the places to eat and drink or catch boats to seal island etc. just as easy as a day on Carbis Bay beach. It is just one stop to St Ives and a beautiful 4 minute train journey it really is.
There is even a large Tesco for all the supplies you may need a 5-10 walk away.
The property itself is really well appointed and has everything you would expect from a modern home, for to make your stay as comfortable as possible.
I can't recommend the area and the property enough. We had a wonderful time there and will definitely be going back!
St Ives is a great holiday destination and Carbis Bay beach is gorgeous, the holiday rental was ideally located 5 minutes walk from the beach and the train station which takes you into St Ives, or a 20 minutes walk along the coastal path into St Ives. The holiday rental was spotlessly clean, very well equipped and well maintained. There are numerous tourist attractions that are nearby such as Lands End and St Micheals Mount both worth a visit. Lots of nice places to eat out in st Ives, highly recommend the Thai Resturant which is on the sea from in St Ives.
