4 Bedroom Cottage in Carbis Bay

Set on Headland Road and equipped to offer guests with everything they could need to be completely comfortable during their stay, Mermaid Cottage includes a kitchen/dining area with a lovely big table for converging round after a day spent down at the beach. The cosy living room with its sofas and TV is great for chilling out in the evenings, and there's more than enough space for everyone to get comfy with a movie or their favourite show. Outside, the garden which lies to the back of the house, has an outdoor dining suite for fresh air feasts, and plenty of grass for a game of boule or badminton. There’s also a delightful balcony off one of the bedrooms which has sea views and is perfect for a bit of relaxation in the sunshine, cup of coffee or glass of fizz in hand.
The home’s four bedrooms lie upstairs on the first floor and include two super kings (with the option of converting to twins), a bunk room which is ideally suited to children, and a room with a double sofa bed which accesses the balcony. There’s also a family bathroom on this floor with bath and shower over, while a separate cloakroom can be found off the hall on the ground floor.
Just 3 minutes’ walk from the SW Coast Path, those who enjoy scenic strolls will love how easy it is to Hawkes Point where the views over the bay are stunning. Porthkidney Sands lies close by and offers the wild tranquility and beauty of a mile-long beach which is backed by sand dunes. Of course, Carbis Bay Beach is the place to be if you’re into watersports and sunbathing. With its turquoise water, fine white sand and beach-based surf centre it’s an idyllic place for days out. You’ll also discover a clutch of first-class restaurants right by the sea, and for a shopping or culture fix as well as more dining options, the iconic town of St Ives is easily reached by car or train.
For guest’s safety, Mermaid Cottage has a motion sensor Ring Doorbell, which records guests and visitors when approaching the front door.

Summary: We spent an enjoyable week in Mermaid Cottage. The house was warm, even though we had horizontal hail on a couple of days. The beds were very comfortable and the kitchen was well-equipped. It is also very well located for walking and access by train to St. Ives - lots to see and do! However, there are a number of things to note. There is no door from the hall into the kitchen / dining room, so it is impossible to shut a dog in that room at night. There is a stair gate but that is broken. Luckily, our dog is trained not to go upstairs, but there was nothing physical to stop it doing so. Also, the house description shows a rug in the living room which is no longer in the house. I’m sure that a rug would make the room a little cosier. There is only one sofa, although the description states two sofas. Finally, we were expecting Freeview on the televisions as in the house description, but, after checking with the housekeeper, it doesn’t work. We could only watch on iplayer etc and our own Netflix subscription. All these issues could be easily resolved and the house would be even better!
