About the cottage

About Owl’s Nest

Owl’s Nest, which is part of the Godrevy Court apartments, enviably sits just above the white sands and azure sea at Carbis Bay. The elevated position means this gorgeous property benefits from stunning views across St Ives Bay from St Ives harbour, best enjoyed from your outdoor terrace, where you can see across to the iconic Godrevy Lighthouse. Simply follow the coast path, which is on your doorstep, and you’ll be at award-winning Carbis Bay beach in just three minutes.

Owl’s Nest is well equipped for your beach holiday. Sleeping four, lower level apartment has everything you need for a comfortable stay. Down the exterior steps, you’ll enter Owl’s Nest on the upper level, where you’ll find two immaculate bedrooms and the contemporary bathroom, which features a large walk-in shower complete with complimentary Cornish toiletries to wash away a day spent at the beach.

About Carbis Bay

Your corner of Cornwall.

When holidaying in Carbis Bay look no further than Carbis Bay Beach. The proud recipient of a Blue Flag award, meaning it is a super-clean beach. Perfect for families with young children, the water is just right for swimming, and usually free of surfers/body boarders. If you prefer to sunbathe and relax, the spotlessly clean beach is around a mile long. With a beautifully clear sea, this fine beach is quiet; wonderful, too, for a sunset walk.

If a spa day is up your street, try the Carbis Bay Hotel’s C Bay Spa, which also has some fantastic eateries if you need to refuel for lunch, or perhaps looking for a romantic dinner out.

In their own words

We stayed at OWLS NEST at Carbis Bay in July - absolutely LOVED it! Such a wonderful home - did not feel like a holiday let at all. So many lovely little touches and everything in amazing condition. Lots of welcome goodies (unexpected), wonderful views, fantastic linen, towels, toiletries and crockery. Did not seem to be anything missing that we needed. We fell in love with this beautiful home and the owner (Louise) could not have been more helpful/available when I messaged her. A really really lovely property that we WILL be back to stay at.
Nikki, Aug 25
We booked last minute for an end of September week and could not believe our luck. The kitchen is very well equipped with everything you need. It was lovely to be left tea and coffee etc, biscuits, fruit juice, cereal, a selection of jams and bread. We felt welcomed! The bathroom is modern with a great shower and the bed was comfy. The double aspect living room has great views and the communal gardens are very well looked after.

This is the second time we have used Cornish Secrets (St Ives last year) and we will definitely be booking again with you in the future - keep up the great work!
