Beautifully renovated and sympathetically extended, large rooms and bay windows nod to the home’s 1930’s origins and serve to enhance the character of this wonderfully contemporary house, while luxurious furnishings, plush décor and high-quality fittings lend a superior edge throughout.
The living spaces within the home are cleverly laid out and feature a large open plan kitchen and dining room which spills out to the alfresco entertainment area and pool terrace via two sets of bifold doors. Perfect for summer days, guests can soak up the sun while lounging around the pool, or fire up the barbecue for fresh air suppers that can be enjoyed either outside or in. Two sitting rooms (both with entertainment systems) mean that parents get to relax and unwind with grown-up conversation while children watch their own movies or TV shows, and four stunning bedrooms (two of which are en-suite) offer exquisite comfort and well-thought-out versatility to suit both couples and family groups.
With its crescent of white sand, turquoise water and lush vegetation, Carbis Bay is a bucket-list destination on Cornwall’s iconic north coast and boasts a world-class family friendly beach as well as ideal water sports conditions. Board and beach hire companies abound offering SUP lessons, tours and kayak safaris that cater to all abilities, so days spent paddling the surf or playing on the sand are firmly on the agenda. Dining out options include stunning beach front restaurants like the Beach Club, while more of the foodie and art culture of the area can be relished in nearby St Ives; within easy reach by car it's also just a short, scenic journey by train and is reported to be one of the queen's favourite routes. For those who fancy something slightly more energetic, the south west coast path runs to either St Ives in one direction or to Porthkidney Sands in the other, and affords walkers some amazing coastal scenery over St Ives Bay.

We had a great time staying in Carbis Bay , the house was beautiful and perfect our stay.
The kids loved the pool and the hot tub was great.
The house was clean and the kitchen was really well stocked with everything we needed.
The coffee and tea was a nice touch , as we forgot to bring some!
The location is great and 2 mins walk from a beautiful sandy beach.
Thanks for letting us stay , we will certainly book again!

Stunning house, the best holiday!!
We stumbled upon this house whilst looking for the perfect holiday house for our final holiday with our mum and it was everything we could have wanted and more!
The house itself was beautiful, it was clean, spacious, comfortable and modern.
The pool and hot tub were well used and perfect for privacy.
The facilities in the house were everything we could have possibly needed with plenty of seating.
The location was perfect as well, easy to get to St Ives and other parts of Cornwall without needing the cars due to the close proximity of the train station.
Couldn’t recommend this house more, the perfect place to make some of the best final memories with our mum!
We really hope to come back again!!

Beautiful accommodation which suited our needs perfectly
A beautiful holiday home perfectly described and photographed, we had exactly what it was.
Exceptionally clean, we stay in luxury homes every year and some are most certainly not clean!
So well done to the cleaning team.
Very comfortable, great location. The hill down to Carbis Bay was a lot steeper than I realised, maybe a mention in the
description? Had I known maybe it would have swayed our choice.
. Some days we just stayed in the pool and outside areas. Perfect.
A great location for visiting other areas.

Fantastic Family Holiday
Chy An Eglos is a fantastic house and a great base for a family holiday in the area. Myself and my family were very impressed with the cleanliness and condition of the property and the selection & variety of the art pieces, along with the tasteful furnishings, added to the feeling of homeliness. Outside, the heated pool is an absolute godsend & I found it really hard to tear myself away from it, as did our 15 month old granddaughter .
We have stayed in a few houses in and around St Ives/Carbis Bay, but I have to say that this one is by far the best property we have used and would highly recommend it to all of our wider family and friends.
I would also like to commend Luxury Coastal on their excellent communication throughout the whole process.

Great Holiday in Cornwall
Chy An Eglos was a wonderful base for our cornish holiday. Its situation was excellent for all the things we wanted to do: sit on the beach, sea swim, explore west cornwall. There are lots of good eating opportunities in the area. I would particularly recommend the cream teas in the garden setting on the B3306 to Zennor. All the useful facilities e.g. supermarkets are handy. The property itself was excellent. Very well presented when we arrived, with a welcome pack. The pool and jacuzzi were much used. The local contact was also very helpful as she helped us to retrieve the sunglasses we had left behind. All in all we had a superb time in a great place to stay.

Beautiful house, lacking a few basics…
We stayed here as a family group recently for a birthday celebration and whilst the house itself is beautiful and having the pool and hot tub absolutely brilliant, it’s beautifully decorated and lots of thought has been put into making you comfortable. It is however lacking in some of the basics such as somewhere to hang towels both wet and dry! No real accessible mirrors in the bedrooms or even the house and only 1 hairdryer in the house with these little (but important) things addressed it would be an absolute dream.
