Bod A Quinte

About this property

Bod A Quinte is a charming bungalow in the heart of Carbis Bay, Cornwall, just a short stroll from the stunning Blue Flag beach. With an enclosed garden and off-road parking for two cars, this delightful retreat has been completely renovated and is a haven for friends, families, and couples seeking a coastal retreat. Park on the driveway, with room for two cars alongside the lawned garden. The sitting room invites you to unwind on the plush seating, letting the warmth from the woodburning stove envelop you as you catch up on your favourite shows on the Smart TV. The kitchen is a contemporary space with white high gloss units and integrated appliances. The chef of the party can rustle up some fine food, and the dining table is the place to regale stories of the day’s adventures with good food. Enjoy alfresco nibbles and tipples in the rear garden; a sunspot for morning lattes, and a safe space for children and pets to play. When night-time rolls around, choose between two inviting bedrooms, a double and a twin, both tastefully decorated and ready to provide a tranquil night's sleep after a day of seaside adventures. Freshen up in the sleek shower room, boasting a walk-in shower, basin, heated towel rail, and WC, ideal for those sandy toes. Welcome the allure of paradise on your doorstep, begin an idyllic day at Carbis Bay Beach, which is only a short downhill stroll from your doorstep, with azure waters and golden sands. Enjoy a shoreside paddle, a long swim, or a water-sporting activity. The South West coast path is a fantastic nature ramble, with a big seascape as the backdrop. Taste-test the local restaurants, and savour a refreshing pint at the independent bar. Within a short drive, St. Ives boasts four beautiful beaches for surf hire, bodyboarding lessons, sandcastle-making, and swimming. For those seeking adventure, step aboard with St Ives Boat Trips for a high-speed rib ride around the bay, opt for a leisurely boat hire, or even hire a kayak or SUP to navigate the crystal-clear waters at your own pace. Tate St Ives cannot be missed, where you can appreciate a spectrum of artwork and sculptures that have defined contemporary art culture in the UK. The charming narrow cobbled lanes have an array of independent shops for grabbing a keepsake, while an array of cafes, tea rooms, and restaurants offer catch of the day and worldwide cuisine. High above the panoramic vistas of St Ives, stands the iconic Knill's Monument, where on a clear day, one is afforded breath-taking views of sweeping coastlines and the vibrant town below. Within easy reach, majestic St Michaels Mount in Marazion, Pendennis Castle in Falmouth, and dramatic Lands’ End are worthy destinations. Bod A Quinte is the idyllic base to enjoy your Cornish getaway.

Just a short drive from iconic St Ives, the seaside village of Carbis Bay is best-known for its beautiful stretch of pure white sand. With turquoise waters and sheltered conditions, the beach feels almost subtropical and is the perfect spot for a good old-fashioned day by the sea. The beach is also home to the Ocean Sports Centre, so if sunbathing is not really your thing, why not hire a kayak or SUP and get out on the water instead. Or why not treat yourself to a Spa day at the delightful hotel which overlooks the beach and has a fabulous terrace where cocktails can be enjoyed in the Cornish sunshine? Carbis Bay has a small range of local shops and restaurants as well as a fish & chip takeaway and railway branch line. The train journey from Carbis Bay into St Ives is perhaps one of the most beautiful in the country; St Ives additionally makes for a great day out, with plenty of galleries to explore. The quayside town of Hayle also isn't far and is home to activities for the all the family, including a golf and a wildlife sanctuary. The Godrevy Nature Reserve and Penwith Heritage Coast are also within easy reach from Carbis Bay, providing outdoors and watersports plans with even more activities to partake in, including coasteering and birdwatching.
