Bosbrea

Bosbrea is a first-floor apartment on Boskerris Road in Carbis Bay, in a block of three called Penreen, set back from St Ives Road. Its balcony faces the sea across St Ives Bay and is reached from the lounge, with a bistro set of one table and two chairs. The beach is 0.5 miles away. The apartment can also be booked together with two other apartments, giving room for up to eight guests in all.

It sleeps four in a king-size bedroom and a twin, both in a quiet part of the apartment away from the living area. There is one bathroom, with a bath, a shower over it and a heated towel rail. The open-plan living space has an L-shaped leather sofa, two armchairs, a dining table with four chairs and a kitchen with an island unit and black granite worktops. It also has a dishwasher and a washer/dryer. Gas central heating is included, and a highchair and cot are available; bring your own cot bedding.

A carpeted flight of 15 steps leads up to the apartment. Off-road parking is for one car, with additional road parking close by. No pets are allowed and the apartment is no smoking. Check-in is from 4pm and check-out by 10am. The shop and pub are both 0.6 miles away.

Bosbrea suits a couple or a family with young children, and it is less good for anyone with a dog or who wants to avoid stairs, and for four adults sharing a single bathroom.
