Treetops

Treetops is a 4-bedroom house in Carbis Bay sleeping 8 across 4 bathrooms, with an enclosed garden, wood burner, open fire, and BBQ. It has accessible ground-floor layout and dogs are welcome. With 46 guest reviews, the property has a consistent track record. Saturday changeovers; priced per week.

The interior is well-equipped with Wi-Fi, parking, dishwasher, and washing machine. The wood burner and open fire mean the house works well outside peak summer. Four bathrooms for 8 guests - one per bedroom - keeps the morning routine friction-free for larger groups.

Carbis Bay beach is 500 metres downhill - a Blue Flag sandy cove with RNLI lifeguard cover in summer, calm enough for kayaking and paddleboarding. Porthminster Beach in St Ives is 1.4 miles along the coast path, with its award-winning beach cafe and south-facing, sheltered water. The St Ives Bay Line branch railway connects Carbis Bay to St Erth in 12 minutes and on to St Ives in one further stop - useful for evenings in town without driving. Carbis Bay gives direct access to St Ives - galleries, restaurants, and the Barbara Hepworth Sculpture Garden are a short walk or one rail stop away.

**Best for:** Families or groups of up to 8 wanting a dog-friendly base close to two Blue Flag beaches, with the option of St Ives on foot. **Less good for:** Those seeking sea views from the property, or couples wanting something compact.
