Facing one-mile northeast of St Ives, in subtropical splendour is Carbis Bay, one of Cornwall’s best kept secrets, and here you will find Meridian, a lovely spacious top floor apartment overlooking the sea.
Meridian can sleep up to four people, so this property is a great place for a small family or a group of friends, with the open-plan living affording you the room to relax as the sea air drifts in through the velux windows.
On entering the property there is a spacious hallway, leading to the dining area containing a gorgeous solid wood table big enough for all the party and some visiting friends to sit round for a meal, before taking your glass of wine over to the sitting area where you can sink into the sofas and continue the conversation.
Pile up those plates and take them into the kitchen where you can make use of the dishwasher, along with many other modern appliances like the electric oven, gas hob and washing machine, making this an attractive and well-equipped kitchen, decorated in a traditional style.
All throughout the property there are sloping ceilings and velux windows, showering the natural light in, and this continues to the other side of the apartment where the bedrooms and bathrooms can be found.
There is a king-size bedroom with en-suite shower room so mum and dad can definitely take this one, with a twin room across the way with a Jack-and-Jill entrance to the shower room.
There are sea views from the windows in the sitting area, and this property also benefits from an allocated parking space for one car in the gated development, so you can leave the car safely behind while you explore the shores of Cornwall.
Carbis Bay is one of the best family beaches in Cornwall due to the lack of surf and relatively calm waters, so you can happily take your toddlers to the beach for a swim, and it even has facilities right on the beachfront.
Take the train from Carbis Bay over to St Ives, and you will enjoy one of the most beautiful train journeys you’ve ever had, and arrive at this busy fishing port that is home to an array of gorgeous sandy beaches that surround the town.
St Ives is home to the Tate Gallery for those art lovers, as well as the Church of St Ia which dominates the St Ives skyline, built in the 15th century, and which contains the Madonna and Child carving by the well-known sculptor Barbara Hepworth, created in memory of her son.
Make Meridian your family getaway, enjoying the fantastic seafront location and easy links to St Ives.
