About this property

Luxury Modern Apartment Perfect For Relaxing Breaks Any Time Of Year

Welcome to SUPERIOR LUXURY HOLIDAYS presented by Chris and Janice Smith, Owners of 7 FERNHILL APARTMENTS, CARBIS BAY, CORNWALL. Our beautiful one bedroom Apartment is
5 STAR GOLD RATED, has ON-SITE DESIGNATED CAR-PARKING, has BREATHTAKING SEA VIEWS through the good size window (with padded window seat) in the sitting area, and is tailor made for couples, two individual or single guests. Our Apartment is the ideal base for holidays, honeymoons, birthdays, wedding and all other anniversaries, not forgetting Christmas and New Year,
St Ives holds a very lively New Year's Eve fancy dress Street Party each year.

Unlike most 5 Star Gold rated Apartments, we welcome one SMALL dog, with our agreement, but he/she must be house trained, must not be on heat/in season and must not be a puppy.

Our Apartment is spacious, light and airy, modern and comfortable and has stylish neutral interior design chosen by us. Everything in our Apartment is of very high quality from the unique artwork painted by two very skilled local Artists to the White Company silk bed throw. There is a 42' plasma TV with DVD player, Wi-Fi and an Ipod docking station in the sitting area, and a plasma TV in the bedroom. There is also a selection of DVDs, games and books.

We offer guests a welcome pack, towelling mule slippers and complimentary size toiletries. Bed linen and towels are provided. We are very proud to have been chosen by PENHALIGON’S and more recently FLORIS to offer their complimentary size toiletries in our Apartments. PENHALIGON’S was founded in 1860 by Cornish Barber William Penhaligon who moved from Penzance to London, and later became Court Barber and Perfumer to Queen Victoria. Penhaligon's was granted a Royal Warrant by Queen Alexander in 1903, and today still holds two very long standing Royal Warrants granted by HRH The Prince of Wales and HRH the Duke of Edinburgh. FLORIS, founded in 1730 by Juan and Elizabeth Flores are the oldest English retailers of fragrances and toiletries in the country, and is still run today from the same shop at 89 Jermyn Street, London, by direct descendants of the Floris family. Floris was granted its first Royal Warrant by King George IV in 1820, with 19 Royal Warrants following. Today, very long standing Royal Warrants were granted by HM the Queen and HRH the Prince of Wales. Past customers include Florence Nightingale, Mary Shelly (author of Frankenstein and wife of the Poet Shelley), Beau Brummel and fictional James Bond always wore Flores No 89.

If it's peace and calm that you're looking for then this is the Apartment for you, The Apartment building, a former Mine Captain's house has been tastefully renovated into 9 Apartments. The Apartment is located in a quiet oasis of calm, with a peaceful garden, pathway/steps leading down to the beach and coastal path. St Ives is only a few minutes car ride away, or a 3 minute train ride away. Carbis Bay Train Station is within walking distance of the Apartment, with a train into St Ives every 30 minutes. There is also a regular bus service into St Ives from Carbis Bay, and a bus stop within easy walking distance of the Apartment.

The Apartment has access to the white sandy beaches of Carbis Bay for surfing, a range of water sports, riding stables, sunbathing and the scenic North Cornwall Coast path is a few minutes away. Within 5 miles there are two 18 hole Golf Courses. There is a Tesco Supermarket within walking distance of the Apartment, or groceries could be pre-ordered online before arrival. There is also a Costcutter general store, a Pharmacy and a Hairdressing Salon within walking distance. St Ives is steeped in history, and a century or so ago, was renowed for tin and copper mining and fishing, but today, mining no longer exists but fishing still does.

The North West Cornish Coast was featured in the very popular TV series Poldark. St Ives is relatively unspoiled, which is why St Ives, encompassing Carbis Bay, is easily one of the UK's most popular holiday destinations. The cobble streets of St Ives and quaint old buildings are still here which are now mostly upmarket shops and restaurants and bars for dining out. There are many attractions to visit in St Ives such as the Tate Gallery, the Barbara Hepworth Museum and Sculpture Garden and St Michael's Mount in Marazion (a very short car ride away) to name but three.

We hope that we have said enough to tempt you into booking with us, but if you would like any further information, please don't hesitate in contacting Chris and Janice Smith, owners of 7 Fernhill Apartments who would be more than happy to assist. We offer SHORT BREAKS (3 nights minimum) in LOW SEASON. Please contact us for more details and price. If you prefer being in St Ives, we own a second Apartment CENTRAL ST IVES - APARTMENT 9 FERNLEA COURT. This is also a spacious one bedroom Apartment, 5 STAR GOLD RATED, PANORAMIC SEA VIEWS and SECURE GATED CAR-PARKING just across the road from the Apartment.

Tolles Appartement mit sensationeller Aussicht
Wir haben 14 tolle Tage in Cornwall verbracht. Der Blick vom Wohnzimmer auf die Bucht ist spektakulär und sowohl morgens und abends ein Traum. Wir haben alles vorgefunden, was wir benötigt haben. Da wir mit viel schönem Wetter belohnt wurden, hätten wir uns einen kleinen Balkon gewünscht, die Sitzmöglichkeit M Fenster hat hier Abhilfe geschaffen. Die Zufahrt zum Haus ist steil und die Stellplätze sind recht eng. Wir hatten das Glück, dass der eine Nachbarparkplatz frei war und wir so ggf. über den Beifahrersitz einsteigen konnten. Die Schlüsselübergabe war mit Schlüsselkasten problemlos. In der Umgebung gibt es fußläufig mehrere Restaurants.

Tolle Aussicht!
Das Apartment liegt sehr schön im Grünen mit einer wunderbaren Aussicht auf die Bucht. Ich saß immer im Fenster und hab die Landschaft genossen. Der Strand ist in 5 Minuten den Hügel runter zu erreichen. Kleiner Nachteil: Sehr schmales Bett, nur 1 Decke und die Wohnung war recht staubig. Ansonsten alles gut.

Stunning Views
Excellent property very comfortable with stunning views. On arrival there was a lovely welcome basket we couldn’t have asked for more, there was only one issue but don’t think it can be helped really it’s very tight on the car park but other than this minor issue it was fantastic and we would definitely return again.

Carbis Bay
A lovely flat with a gorgeous view. Close to bus stops for St Ives and coastal open top bus. Several great restaurants within easy walking distance. Walk down to the beach is fine but back up is very steep, but that's the price you pay for the views!

Fantastic views from the property walks on carbis bay was brilliant
Brilliant location to all area's, high quality apartment, everything you could ask for. Could understand the 5pm time time to enter the apartment through covid. But now it's not so much of an issue! For now! thought it could be relaxed a little. Travelling from the Midlands we got there for one ish tired! And had to wait four hours before entering.

7 Fernhill with stunning views
We had a superb stay at this beautiful apartment. Everything we needed was at hand. Stunning views from the lounge window too. Lovely surprise welcome pack. A short downhill walk to the train station into St Ives. We chose to get the number 17 bus back. (It runs later and you don’t have the steep hill to climb on return!) We would definitely rent this apartment again.

Great location
Easy to book and a great location for this property. Nice welcome tray of essentials on arrival. However there were two things that really should be addressed - the cleanliness of the bathroom especially was definitely not 5 stars …. Mould on the grouting and silicone around the bath. The shower screen didn’t have a seal on the bottom which meant that water from the shower puddles on the floor. When we wiped the water up we discovered the floor hadn’t really been swept or cleaned properly …. There was also dust around the vent and surrounding area….the owner did respond to this and came and fitted a seal …. Corners of the bedroom were also dusty and hadn’t been cleaned to a good standard. Lastly the double bed is small ! It’s small length and width …. Other than that the apartment is well placed and has a wonderful view of carbis bay from the window seat. I wouldn’t rate this as a five star appartment ….

Carbis Bay - Fernhill Apartment
From booking on line til check out everything was very straightforward. Location of property was excellent with the added advantage of a parking space. Apartment was very nice with all amenities, with a very nice view and easy access to beach. Apartment was very cold on arrival tho. Apartment is in our opinion 4 star regarding cleanliness and standard of furniture.

Nice clean apartment
Very nice property - in fact very perhaps the nicest holiday rental we have stayed in. Very well appointed (tv, coffee machine, dishwasher, and washing machine - and unlike some places it has a very good internet connection) and in a nice quiet spot with easy access to the beach and coastal path (it is about 30 minutes to walk into St Ives). Would definitely come back again and am already thinking about renting for Xmas 2022.

Great location, excellent views, clean, tidy, comfortable, surrounded by a number of interesting walks through outstanding woodland, countryside and beaches. Relatively easy access to the Carbis Bay beach through the back garden and down the hill - a bit more challenging walking back though! Easy transaction with the owners via VRBO - thank you.

Review of 7 Fernhill Apartments, Carbis Bay.
We thoroughly enjoyed our experience of visiting Carbis Bay and the surrounding area. The apartment was very well appointed, with beautiful views from the window seat and afforded excellent access to the beach at Carbis Bay but also nearby St Ives. St Ives was accessed by the coastal footpath which was adjacent the property. The welcome pack was a lovely touch and made us smile after a long journey from Central Scotland. Overall excellent accommodation. Thank-you Janice and Chris!

Fabulous apartment with everything you need! Great decor throughout and thought and detail put into it, down to cosy blankets and wonderful welcome pack! The views are spectacular and sitting in the bay window watching the world go by and the waves rolling in was very relaxing! Walking distance to beautiful Carbis Bay beach and to Carbis Bay Train station to hop into St Ives, can also walk it too which takes about 40mins. Highly recommend!
