Booked five nights in superior double room. First impression, car park needs retarmacing. Receptionist pleasant. Room on second floor, (no lift, three large bags, no available porter!) facing rear and railway line. Room had unpleasant stale smell, but worse, room so small, really a single, with a double bed. No chest of drawers, just one self in small, 30" walk-in... more

Overall my husband and I really enjoyed our stay at the Carbis Bay Hotel. Having just come from the dodgy service Housel Bay hotel at Lizard point, the reception staff were very friendly and even though I arrived several hours early for check-in they offered me use of the pool, bar and lounge while I waited, and managed to have... more

Carbis Bay Hotel Staff were friendly, helpful and responsive to all our questions when booking and checking-in as well as during our stay. We were fortunate to book the last available room for our two day stay. The bedroom, which overlooked Carbis Bay, was pretty, spacious and comfortable with sufficient storage space and a TV. The bathroom was lovely and... more

The hotel is one of the best locations in the British Isles, absolutely wonderful place. Perched on a hill over looking Carbis Bay you can enjoy the view either from your room (if you are lucky) or from the conservatory for afternoon tea. They have a pool - if I touch cold - certainley not heated - but go in... more

We stayed at the Carbis Bay for one night at the end of May. The weather was fabulous and we really enjoyed a couple of days in and around St. Ives. As others have mentioned, reception was a little offhand, although the receptionist I spoke to when booking was really helpful. She did mention that she was in training, so... more

Decent heated pool area (pool was not heated when we were there in late May- pool to cold for me to swim in. 20 minute walk from St. Ives- a really beautiful town on... more

Carbis Bay Hotel also offers a number of self-catering apartments adjacent to the hotel. Recently built (within the last few years I think), these are all very well appointed, with impressive decor and sensible layout. The apartment had everything our group needed: 2 bedrooms, plus an extra study with a sofa bed, plus an upstairs deck in addition to the... more

We booked a special deal for 2 nights over Easter at the hotel, which included dinner, bed and breakfast and champagne & chocolates on arrival. The location is lovely, however, we didn't get a great first impression from the lady on reception who was disinterested. Our room was quite pretty with a lovely little balcony, however, one of the spot... more

I wouldn't have many complaints about the hotel as we did read the tarrif before we arrived but one comment I would make is that everything within the hotel was quite pricey. The food, although fantastic, was expensive as were the drinks. The rooms were clean but we had a family room and the space was very limited. They had... more
