From the moment we arrived on Friday afternoon until we left on Monday morning everything was perfect. We booked a three night special deal and were pleasantly surprised that we got exactly the same service and food as other guests who were staying there for longer breaks. Although our room didn't have a full sea view you could see along... More

The hotel is situated in a stunning location in Carbis Bay near St. Ives. The sandy beach is wonderful as is the view from the hotel. There was a lot of kids of all ages and the mild climate is ideal for them. The town is in a walking distance, although I would not opt for the walk at night.... More

We just had lunch here, but got married here in 2009. The events organiser, Victoria, is amazing. She is so good at her job and we had an amazing day. The hotel setting is out of this world & I was amazed at the additional extension. It is beautiful. I haven't seen the rooms since 2009, when they were in... More

We stayed in one of the new cottages and had breakfast and evening meal in the hotel. Our accommodation was spotlessly clean, comfortable, modern and well designed. The food in the hotel is excellent and the hotel staff couldn't be better. Four days went all too quickly. Thank you to all the staff who made this a memorable stay. More

We loved our 4-day stay at the Carbis Bay Hotel. Arriving by train from London, you have to be careful that only every other train stops at the tiny platform of Carbis Bay Station - but stay on the train and go onto St Ives, it comes back to Carbis Bay in ten minutes or so. And this branch line... More

Two wonderful days in a hotel apartment. It was really fantastic to find somewhere so beautiful and well presented that accomodates dogs. The beach was spectacular, clean and great for walking even on the coldest of days. The atmosphere in the hotel in the evening was superb. Friendly staff, fantastic food, followed by coffee in the conservatory overlooking a moonlit... More

We recently had a superb lunch in the restaurant as part of a large organised celebration. The food and service were excellent and the staff were very friendly even though we were not staying in the hotel. The setting was idyllic looking out over the beach and out to sea. Despite only being there for 3 or 4 hours, we... More

Spending five nights at the Carbis Bay Hotel for the New Year was a good introduction to this wonderful area. The staff were friendly and helpful, the room was a good size and cleaned thoroughly every day. We are people who really appreciate good food and found ourselves rushing to look at the dinner menu as soon as we came... More

After a wet walk along the coastal path an untimely boiler breakdown prevented us from having a shower before attending a wedding ceremony at the hotel. Whilst the problem was identified and dealt with very quickly and with courteousy, it did not prevent us from having to endure 'challenging' showers (ie cold!) On checking out we mentioned the problem and... More

Although we stayed in the nearby self catering accomodation - which is basically unchanged since I reviewed it in March - we took the opportunity to quickly look at five or six of the bedrooms in the hotel. Previous reviewers had described these as being ;shabby' but some have now been refurbished (part of a programme) with good quality furnishings... More
