Also a very short walk away is the village train station in Carbis Bay so guests can enjoy the experience of St Ives but not have the parking headache, the 3 minute train ride is one of the most beautiful and dramatic in the UK along the bay into St Ives.

Wonderful stay
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

A home from home
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.

Thank you to Paul and Lucy who were both very helpful x

Great Week
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!

Lovely property.
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.

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.

Summer in Carbis bay
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.

A wonderful Week
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!

Fantastic holiday rental, would highly recommend
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.
