Pebbles - A relaxing King Studio

A one-bedroom studio in Carbis Bay, a short walk from St Ives. It sits in a quiet residential building set back from the seafront, and sleeps two in a king bed with a goose-down duvet and Egyptian cotton linen, soundproofed and fitted with underfloor heating and a private garden.

The studio has a kitchenette with a Nespresso machine, a dining table and a work desk, plus a Hansgrohe walk-in shower and a separate outdoor shower. A BBQ sits in the garden and dogs are welcome, though there's no washing machine or dishwasher on site. The TV has streaming services and free toiletries are provided. Booking.com reviewers rate it 9.5 from 59 reviews, with staff at 10 and cleanliness and comfort both at 10; past guests often mention the host's welcome and bed comfort.

Carbis Bay Beach is a nine-minute walk, roughly 200 metres from the door, and hosted the 2021 G7 summit. Porthminster Beach is 1.1 miles and St Ives harbour 1.2 miles, both walkable into the town's galleries and restaurants. Land's End Airport is 17 miles away.

Best for a couple wanting beach access on foot and a quiet base just outside central St Ives. Less good for anyone needing a washing machine or dishwasher, since the studio has neither.
