Please note, there is sloped uphill access to Pencroft by vehicle and foot

My wife and 2 dogs had a wonderful time at this property. Very spacious, clean and modern with everything you could possibly need. We only had one car but there is absolutely enough room on the private drive for 2 cars. The rear garden, whilst it doesn’t benefit from much sun is still really lovely and private and secure which is great for dogs. Thank you

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.

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

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.

8.0 / 10.0

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.

Just perfect, loved it so much we plan to change the back of our house to match that of Pencroft. Good communication. Would stay again and also recommend.

We based ourselves in Carbis bay to do several long walks in the area but also to enjoy the bay & St Ives. The property was well equipped and very comfortable. Be prepared for steep hills to and from the beach!

10.0 / 10.0

Stayed in St Ives before which gets extremely busy, Carbis Bay is less so, the beach is amazing and you can easy walk to St Ives, either on the costal path or road, also if you have a dog Hayle beach is amazing. The walk to the beach at carbis bay is via a steep incline so if you are not so mobile probably a little challenging and little parking at the beach, but good exercise! House is great, modern, nice living room to relax in. Great stay would recommend. Have 1 less start on check in because house was not available until 5 on check in day, which is a little late, but I know with COVID cleaning needs to be more thorough.

It was perfect for our family. Open plan Kitchen worked well for us. Bedrooms good size and really comfortable. Only issue was lounge fire door door quite heavy for the children and difficult to close quietly. We didn't use the garden due to exploring the area. But lovely to have the doors open when we were there. If we come to the area again we would book again

Pencroft Carbis Bay

Lovely property although we were a bit disapointed with local facilities that were in walking distance for food or drinks etc. The Gannet Inn close by is fantastic and highly recommeded. Garden is Windy and constantly in the shade as huge tress surround the house, so we were unable to sit in the garden area. Beautiful beach at Carbis bay but parking is horrific and the hill is really steep down to the beach. Ok going down but a nightmare to get up

The drive way up to Pencroft is very tight, but plenty of room for 3 cars! The property itself was very fresh, very clean, and very light, open planned down stairs with by folding doors to the garden!! The beds were very comfortable along with the shower with plenty of hot wat water!! This is a perfect holiday home for a family, and in my case my wife and myself. We would definitely choose to stay at Pencroft again.

Excellant Base.

Excellant Base.

Pencorft is an excellent base to explore South Cornwall. Situated up a narrow lane, the property in spacious and the location was very peaceful (we were there in March). The property has great amenities, which should be sufficient for anyones holiday. It was warm, welcoming and very comfortable. You are given 'guest information', which is very detailed and explains everything to do with the property and has information on the local area. There are a few restaurants within walking distance of the property, such as La Casita (lacasitacarbisbay.co.uk), the Gannet Inn (gannetstives.co.uk) or if you fancy a really treat head 10mins down the hill to Adam Handling's restaurant (uglybutterfly.co.uk). From Pencroft you can walk to St. Ives (approx. 1.5 miles). Follow the coastal path and get your timing right, you can walk along the beach into the harbour while the tide is out. Go the other way and you can have Porthkidney beach all to yourselves. There is much more to explore from this excellent location. I would definitely recommend this property.

The property was just as expected. Cotemporary, clean, well equipped, good location. Unfortunately booked for a week but had to leave after only 2 days due to bereavement of an elderly parent so didn't get the chance to fully enjoy our stay.

Wonderful property

Wonderful property

We recently had a wonderful stay at Pencroft! The house itself has a great view of the sea from the kitchen window and the upstairs window on the landing. The property is not overlooked, super modern, very spacious and clean inside. The property is very well equipped indeed with two large comfortable settees, large television and very comfortable beds. The welcome pack of Teas, coffee, milk and sugar plus a pack of shortbread cookies was very welcoming upon arrival. Another nice touch was the bag of logs and kindling for use if required for the wood burner in the lounge. Everything has been carefully thought of in providing you with an uncomplicated stay at Pencroft. Our stay at Pencroft was a most pleasant one. We absolutely loved Pencroft and will most certainly return! The only niggle we had with Pencroft is the large stone sticking out of the tarmac just before you reach the gravel drive to Pencroft, as upon first arrival to the property and not realising this, scraped the underside of the car going over this large stone. Another thing we did find rather odd was the booking process. We made the booking through Home & Away and payed the deposit and booking fee to Hone and Away, then we received a balance payment request from Orange Roofs along with another booking fee to Orange Roofs, ending up with having to pay two booking fees to stay at Pencroft.

Lovely house, close to the beach

Lovely house, close to the beach

I based myself at Pencroft for a week, while I was looking for a new home in Cornwall. The house is as advertised; modern, clean and well equipped. Lovely views of the bay from the kitchen when the weather is good! It is dog-friendly although my tiny chihuahuas were too small to go in the garden unattended as there are gaps under some of the fences, through which they could easily escape! I imagine the garden is a great space for relaxed dinners and for larger dogs, though. The house is well placed for St Ives and there are lots of local amenities within walking distance - a small grocery store, a vet, supermarket, some lovely pubs (we had dinner in the Cornwall Arms which was a really friendly place) and, of course, the beach! Carbis Bay has an outstanding beach - it's a bit of a hilly walk down there but worth it! You can also drive and park in the beach carpark. The team I dealt with in booking and arranging access were fab - really helpful and the email information was very clear. Would definitely stay here again, if in the area - thank you!

Beautiful property everything you need was there it was like home from home . The problem you have is parking especially when you just arrive and you have a lady come out and tell us not to go on the garages drive as it is private land yes i do understand but she goes and gets someone to put a boulder in front of the chain which is across the side of the house its ridiculous we are adults not children it just takes the shine off the holiday but on saying that we did enjoy it

We are a family of 5 and couldn’t have wished for anything during our 3 weeks here. The property has been finished beautifully with everything you could need. We also had family staying nearby who we hosted several meals for, and the house was perfect for also. The lane leading to the house is narrow but is perfectly fine, as is the driveway. I have a long wheel based transit custom which was fine, along with 2 other cars at times which all fitted in the drive. The location is also perfect, as you aren’t stuck in St Ives madness, but can get there really easily. I will be booking again and would thoroughly recommend.

Fabulous location. Great house. However I was a little disappointed with the garden.

Fabulous location. Great house. However I was a little disappointed with the garden.

I’m not one for slating a perfectly good house however given the cost for 2 weeks I do feel a few extra finishing touches could improve the experience. The house and location is fabulous, there’s no disputing that. The cost was roughly £800 more than other houses I looked at but the garden swung it for me and that’s why I was a little disappointed. There’s no sun in the garden from roughly 2pm due to the massive trees in and around the garden. I do feel the photos are misleading. Little things like extra baking trays, a pizza baking tray, extra knives, scissors etc would improve the experience. Apart from that the kitchen is well stocked. Nonetheless it was a great stay and with Carbis Bay beach at the bottom of the road this was a massive plus.

Perfectly sited so you Van enjoy St Ives but far enough away to be quite and have open space. Home was very neat, well maintained and well stocked for cooking and use. Tesco is a short walk away for food material and the Cornish arms is a short walk for good food and beer. To be honest, this is a perfect place to stay for enjoying St Ives.

Had a great week at Pencroft, fortunate with the weather which was glorious for October until our last day when storm Calum hit the area. Fabulous sandy beaches which have to be explored, pleasant walk from Carbis bay to St Ives, visited Lands End, the Minnack theatre which is a special place, the seal sanctuary at Gweek and St Michael's Mount which is well worth a visit. We stay in holiday properties a couple of times a year with our Chocolate Labrador Huey and have to say Pencroft is one of the best kitted out we have ever stayed in, just about every utensil etc you could ever need is there. Would highly recommend this property.

Nice place but they will charge you for unwanted damage

Nice place but they will charge you for unwanted damage

The good - a beautiful property with nice modern features. The decking and balcony overlooks the large garden and has a nice outdoor table seating. Very close to carbon bay, you can walk. All main amenities are within walking distance. The bad - the pictures make the property look bigger than what it actually is. Upstairs is particular small but the ground floor is nice and spacious. If you have a car more than 7 seats you will find it hard to go up and down the drive way. It will be hard to to turn around when on the drive so will have to reverse down a tight drive which isn’t straight. We accidentally damaged the carpet which took liability for, but then the owner decides to blame us for the plastering that is coming off, which upon closer inspection you will find cracks and plastering coming off the whole property. If you have asthma/allergies then this isn’t for you as you pet hairs are left throughout. Even a small makeup stain Which can be wiped off with a damp cloth you will be charged. The deckin area and balcony is filthy and covered in cob webs. Take pictures when you arrive at the propert of everything as they will make you pay for any damages that you may not have done. Won’t be saying again. Fear wear and tear is not taken into account when staying here. You are better off camping.

High quality decor and furnishing. Amazing home

High quality decor and furnishing. Amazing home

Location: The location is excellent, and is far enough away from St Ives to enjoy peace and quiet, but close enough to walk (1.5 miles) or bus right next to the house (£3.60 rtn) or Train (65p each way). Be advised , the train line is down by the beach and at the bottom of a steep hill. You can park there for £5 a day, and trains are once an hour. The bus is approx every 8 minutes and the best bet. Local Amenities, There is a good pub within walking distance that is dog friendly and serves meals. Tesco is a 5 minute walk away, there is a vegetarian restaurant, a Mediterranean restaurant and a fish and chip take away/restaurant within walking distance. There is a chemist, local shop/post office, hairdressers/barbers and vets also withing walking distance. There are numerous hotels you can eat at too. Property. I have never experienced a rental with such a high level of quality decor. It is a very comfortable home and a credit to the owners. If I was to suggest a few small improvements it would be a baking tray for the oven, Faster Wi-Fi, a TV in the second or third room for the children, larger waste bin outside but none of the above negated the stay at the property , just nice to haves. The photo of the property is dated and the rear garden is now grass and not paved. but there is still a considerable seating area If i was to look at the main negative point of this property is the approach, it is up a very steep driveway, and not suitable for those less mobile, pushing a wheel chair up would be a struggle. The property is at the top of this drive and if you have a large car you are really going to struggle. you can drive straight into the parking spot but if you want to turn around and reverse onto the drive you have multiple small walls, a telegraph pole and another property to avoid in doing so. Not turning round means you have to reverse down the steep drive and blindly out onto a busy road. In Summary, I would more than recommend this excellent property and if you have a smaller car you will be fine :)
