Lowena

Perfectly positioned above one of Cornwall's most stunning bays, with private parking and a short walk to the beach, this one-bedroom ground-floor contemporary retreat boasts a corner plot within Penreen Apartments, a small development in Carbis Bay. Offering contemporary and well-styled accommodation on the ground floor, with a generous private garden and patio at the side and rear, it’s the perfect base for a couple seeking a Cornish adventure. From the entrance hallway, enter into the light and airy open-plan living concept. Designed for relaxation, dining, and preparing feasts in the well-equipped kitchen, you have everything you need for your stay. Chill on the comfy sofa after a day at the beach and enjoy good food around the dining table whilst you reminisce over the day’s events or plan tomorrow’s fun. The sunroom is an additional space to chill with a book or music, overlooking the garden. The king-size bedroom is welcoming with a super comfy bed, ample storage, TV, and access to the garden. The fully tiled family bathroom offers the choice of a relaxing bath or an invigorating shower. Dine alfresco in the garden, enjoy a morning latte in the sunshine, or a sundowner tipple as the night draws in. Beautiful Carbis Bay Beach is within a short walk, sheltered with golden sand and blue waters for swimming and water sports, with seasonal lifeguards. Ramble the South West coast path, capturing seascapes from the cliff top with distant views of Godrevy Lighthouse. Reach picturesque St Ives from one direction and glorious Gwithian from the other, with a surf school for riding the waves and beach cafes for refreshment. Visit The Tate Gallery and Barbara Hepworth Museum and Sculpture Garden, in St Ives. With four beaches, restaurants, and cafes serving fresh local produce and international cuisine, traditional inns and independent shops and galleries dotted along the cobbled lanes, it makes a great day out. Lowena is perfectly placed for the scenic branch line to St. Ives which also connects to the main line at St. Eryth. Bus connections are right on the doorstep as well. A short drive away, head to historic Pendennis Castle in Falmouth, take the ferry to pretty St Mawes, visit iconic St Michaels Mount near Penzance, or rugged Lands’ End. Don’t forget to book tickets in advance at The Minack Theatre, carved from the granite cliffs with music and acts set against a fabulous open-air ocean backdrop.

Just a short drive from iconic St Ives, the seaside village of Carbis Bay is best-known for its beautiful stretch of pure white sand. With turquoise waters and sheltered conditions, the beach feels almost subtropical and is the perfect spot for a good old-fashioned day by the sea. The beach is also home to the Ocean Sports Centre, so if sunbathing is not really your thing, why not hire a kayak or SUP and get out on the water instead. Or why not treat yourself to a Spa day at the delightful hotel which overlooks the beach and has a fabulous terrace where cocktails can be enjoyed in the Cornish sunshine? Carbis Bay has a small range of local shops and restaurants as well as a fish & chip takeaway and railway branch line. The train journey from Carbis Bay into St Ives is perhaps one of the most beautiful in the country; St Ives additionally makes for a great day out, with plenty of galleries to explore. The quayside town of Hayle also isn't far and is home to activities for the all the family, including a golf and a wildlife sanctuary. The Godrevy Nature Reserve and Penwith Heritage Coast are also within easy reach from Carbis Bay, providing outdoors and watersports plans with even more activities to partake in, including coasteering and birdwatching. Carbis Bay is truly a wonderful holiday location for those wanting to experience Cornwall's breathtaking coastline.
