About this property

Pencroft, a spacious house with garden, free parking for 2 cars. Walking distance to beach and St Ives. Local restaurants very nearby. Free WiFi.

Pencroft is a large and stylish house in Carbis Bay which has 3 bedrooms and has ocean views from the first floor. It sleeps 6 in a king size bedroom, a twin bedroom and a bunk bedroom. There is a wonderful family bathroom with shower over bath, WC and wash basin and a downstairs cloakroom with WC and wash basin.

The kitchen is very well-equipped to self-cater for a family of 6 easily. The living room and kitchen with dining is super comfortable with plenty of soft seating and a wood burner to create cosy evenings in. The tri-fold doors open up to a patio and garden area with outdoor seating.

Carbis Bay beach is a 15-minute walk away down a footpath that leads directly downhill to the beach (be prepared to walk back up the hill at the end of the day!). Carbis Bay train station is a 10-minute walk away and it takes you regularly into St Ives along a very picturesque route. The trip into St Ives is just 5 minutes. Please note, there is sloped uphill access to Pencroft by vehicle and foot

There is a private enclosed garden where there is a mixture of morning sunshine and dappled shade. An ancient and protected tree provides much needed shade. You have the choice of a decked area with outdoor seating, landscaped gardens and a private fenced off lawned area too.

There is free WiFi throughout the house.

There is private parking to the side of the house and can park 2 cars easily.

2 small to medium dogs welcome at Pencroft (terms and conditions apply with there being a £50 pet fee per week fee)

All bed linen, bath towels and utilities are included in the rate.

A pleasant stay in an ideal location
The house was modern and stocked with all items we needed for our stay. The house is within walking distance of 3 or 4 placed to drink and eat and within walking distance of the beach (a large hill for those with walking issues) and around 30 Minutes to St Ives - all in all a pleasant stay.

Beautiful
House was beautiful,everything was perfect , very clean . we were a bit unsure after reading about the car parking and neighbors, the parking was great no issues and we spoke to the neighbors and they were Lovely and friendly , we had to leave early after a couple of days due to family bereavement but we hope to go back soon , oh and go out the house down the path cross over the road and go down the side street brings you to the beach , the hill to beach is very steep but to be honest we called a cab to take us back up cost £5 , well worth it , x

4 star
I have to start with the house. Beautiful! Spotlessly clean. Everything you needed and more. If I’m honest I would have given it a 5 star if it was not for the following reason and this reason is why I would not book again. If you have just one car then apart from the extremely narrow steep lane you drive up then your fine. If you have two cars then this is where it gets very tricky. The property most definitely has a driveway for two cars that I agree with. However, as the lane is so narrow and so steep you cannot reverse your vehicle out of the driveway and down the lane. You have to turn the car round and drive it down the hill. You cannot turn the car around with 2 cars on the driveway and if the one car is approximately medium size your looking at least 6 point turn. Like I said if you have two cars on the driveway which we did this is not an option. What we had to do was wait for someone to move 2 or 3 cars outside the garages opposite. Use that to turn the cars around and then reverse cars back on driveway ready for when they were needed next. This was an absolute nightmare. I did see other people say about the driveway but they just said not enough room for 2 cars. There is room but you cannot turn or move it. Apart from this though, the house was beautiful.

Lovely property. Very quiet and no traffic noise. Great location for Carbis Bay beach and station for train into St Ives although trains were not running but a shuttle bus was available. Ideally located for us and great property . Would recommend and stay again.

A lovely break in Cornwall
The directions to the house are very good but we still found it hard to find as we didn’t think it would be so tucked away. Parking for one car is fine but with two we found it difficult. The house is beautiful and well equipped but the photos give the appearance that it is set in lots of space and this is not the case. That said we had a fabulous stay! Property would really benefit from a hot tub.
