Owls Nest, Carbis Bay · Two-bedroom holiday home with sea views and private access to Carbis Bay beach

Owls Nest – Holiday Home in Carbis Bay, St Ives

A two-bedroom holiday home with sea views and private access to the award-winning beach at Carbis Bay.

Owls Nest is in Carbis Bay, which has its own beautiful beach – reached by a four-minute walk through a lovely wooded glade. It has private parking and views across St Ives Bay, and is ideal for families, couples and anyone who enjoys walking.

St Ives is about a mile up the coast: a 20-minute walk along the coastal footpath with breathtaking views of the town and the bay, or a two-minute ride on the little branch-line train that follows the same route.

Carbis Bay & St Ives

Carbis Bay sits on the sheltered side of St Ives Bay, with its own sandy beach and the coast path leading round the headland to Porthminster and the harbour town of St Ives, with its galleries, Tate St Ives and the Barbara Hepworth Museum.

For those who enjoy the “sub-tropical” experience, Cornwall has much to offer, with Trebah, Glendurgan and Trelissick gardens within reach. In winter the coast takes on a different beauty – clear sunny days followed by storm watching as the waves lash the shore. The Land’s End to Cape Cornwall walk is only a short drive away.
