chalet.

After a day by the sea, cross the threshold into your new home-from-home to find an open-plan living space where you can unwind on the plush sofas in front of the 75" Smart TV and watch on as the designated chef of the group cooks up a storm in the fully-equipped kitchen.
Sample their culinary delights at the dining take or step outside to take advantage of the spacious garden with table and chairs on the decking, ideally suited to an alfresco affair. Later, indulge in a soothing soak in the hot tub which benefits from being undercover so you can bask in its warmth whatever the weather, similarly there is also a covered summerhouse where you can enjoy evening drinks and the great outdoors at any time of year.
When stars appear overhead, travel back inside to freshen up in the sleek wet room ahead of catching your rest in one of three bedrooms; choose from a four-poster king-size with Smart TV and en-suite shower room, a king-size (zip/link) with Smart TV or a double. During the day explore the centre of Carbis Bay where you can pick up your essentials at local stores, enjoy a meal out at The Cornish Arms or experience the beauty of the coast with a trip to the breath-taking Carbis Bay Beach.
