Guests say
Brynmaur Cottage in Carbis Bay, Cornwall, is highly praised for its cleanliness, stunning sea views, and peaceful yet convenient location. Guests appreciate the well-equipped, comfortable, and homely feel, with special mentions of the comfortable beds and welcoming touches such as local treats. The property is dog-friendly, with an enclosed garden and thoughtful provisions for canine companions.
The property is consistently described as spotlessly clean, with many guests highlighting the immaculate presentation. One minor issue with damp towels and a mouldy bathroom seal was mentioned, but these appear to be isolated incidents that did not significantly impact the overall experience.
The location is highly regarded for its proximity to beaches, eateries, and local amenities, with the added benefit of stunning sea views. The ease of access to nearby towns and attractions, as well as the peaceful setting, contribute to its high rating.
Guests find the property comfortable, particularly praising the quality of the beds and the cosy atmosphere. There is a single mention of a less comfortable sofa, but overall, the comfort of the property is well-received.
The facilities are generally well-regarded, with the property being well-equipped and thoughtfully furnished. Some minor maintenance issues were noted, such as a leaky shower and a slippery patio when wet. The addition of a carport and EV charging is appreciated, although there was a comment about the carport height.
While many reviews mention thoughtful touches, such as welcome packages and dog biscuits, there is not enough information to determine if these are consistent offerings or occasional gestures. Therefore, it is politely noted that such gifts, while appreciated, are not guaranteed and the score is set to null.
About this property
Nestled in a residential part of Carbis Bay and enjoying some distant sea views, is this inviting bungalow, Brynmaur. Boasting a light and airy feel with quality furnishings throughout, this inviting retreat is perfect for families or groups of four seeking a coastal pursuit. Step inside this charming dwelling into the entrance hall, which leads off to all the rooms. Discover the sitting room, where you can kick back after a day of adventure and admire the idyllic views towards Godrevy Lighthouse, or tune into the Smart TV and catch up on your favourite shows. When you want to have a hand at home-cooking, rather than sampling the fine restaurants of St Ives, head to the modern kitchen where a host of appliances await, including a dishwasher, so you won’t have to lift a finger when it comes to washing up! Serve delicious meals in the dining room, providing a great spot to enjoy family time and even a board game brought from home! As you tire, make your way to the bedrooms, offering zip/links which are presented as twins as standard (zip/link can be super-king-size on request) and a king-size, presented in neutral colours with attractive units. Step under the rainfall shower and begin the day with a good rinse, before grabbing a warm towel from the rail and drying yourself off. To the outside is a lovely patio area, perfect for enjoying a well-deserved evening beverage or make this into an alfresco dining space, with the mature garden providing an idyllic backdrop. Less than a mile away lies the stunning Carbis Bay beach, with its turquoise waters and white sand, it almost feels subtropical! The beach is also home to the Ocean Sports Centre, providing ample opportunities to have fun on the water, whether it be paddle boarding, surfing and kayaking! With the Tate St Ives and the Barbara Hepworth Museum and Sculpture Garden both providing a fascinating outing for art enthusiasts, St Ives has become a vibrant hub of culture. Join the idyllic South West Coast Path and take in beautiful sea views along the way, before refuelling at a fabulous restaurant in St Ives, many of which specialise in locally caught seafood dishes. Take some time to explore the rest of Cornwall, with the world famous Eden Project within an hour and half drive, boasting a unique enclosed rainforest, while Pendennis Castle in Falmouth is one of Cornwall’s most historic landmarks, and the likes of Marazion with St Michael’s Mount and Penzance are just an easy drive away. Enjoy a refreshing break in the scenic Carbis Bay at Brynmaur.
The seaside resort Carbis Bay lies close to St Ives on the western coast of St Ives Bay. The beach is the main attraction, chosen to host the G7 conference of world leaders, this is a truly beautiful stretch of sand with a subtropical feel.

We had a lovley time exploring Carbis Bay, St Ives, Hayle Beach, Godrevy Beach and we saw the seals at the Cove. Our 8 month old Labrador has had a great time. We have booked for next year! - Guest book review.

My little boy has loved it. It was also so reassuring to know that our dog Roxie could be in an enclosed garden- that was such a big thing for us. Thank you for letting us stay. - Guest book review.

A chair would be nice in the hall to be able to sit when putting shoes or boots on. Beds are lovely and comfortable the kitchen is excellent. The patio was slippy when it had rained. The car port was great and easy to park in. It was a lovely place to stay and we had a lovely time staying there thank you.
