We had a fantastic two weeks in Beach Retreat - despite Covid 19\. Brian's meticulous attention to detail meant that we felt very safe staying there and could relax into the holiday. The location was perfect with immediate access to the coastal path and a short walk to the beaches meant we could keep away from the crowds. It was a splendid Retreat.

Nice and quiet with use of the large garden. Views over Carbis bay stunning. Nice coastal walks. Good for dogs. Dynamite quay beach is dog friendly all year. Becks fish and chip shop is close by and very good. Tesco is just up the road which is handy. Would not recommend the Cornish Arms pub, found the food and service not very good. Overall a nice relaxing holiday.

We had a lovely week at the beach retreat. It’s a small but cosy place with everything we needed for our week. The peace and quiet meant we slept well, and yet it was a short walk to the centre of St Ives (uphill on way back though !). A fab spot.
