a little bit of heaven 

Whether it’s the breathtaking views, the refreshing sea air, wide expanses of sandy beach or the plentiful supply of delicious ice cream, Carbis Bay is a quiet coastal village that’s got everything a beach lover could wish for. A quick swap of flip-flops for walking boots and you can be adventuring across rolling farmland and the woodland nature reserve, spotting all the church spires along the way — it’s the perfect balance of seaside buzz and countryside bliss.

If your idea of enjoying the countryside is on the golf course, you’ll be delighted to learn the stunning West Cornwall Golf Course is nearby. And if you prefer to swim without getting sand between your toes, The Spa at Una in St Ives could be your go-to retreat, complete with heated infinity pool, fitness studio, treatment rooms, restaurant and more.

Apart from the peacefulness, one thing you’re sure to notice about Carbis Bay is the difference in the light here. There’s an almost ethereal feel, like there’s a magical filter sprinkled over everything. It’s what’s made the village a haven for artists, with seascapes and landscapes bathed in the most enchanting, soft hues.

On the everyday practical side of things, everything you need is right here, from the weekly grocery shop to haircuts and fish & chips. Like all bunnyhomes developments, Clover Pastures is close to a great school, nursery, essential village amenities and the station, which can get you to St Ives in minutes for a big night out or a dinner date — or connect here for destinations further afield on the main Penzance to Paddington line.

For a small Cornish village, Carbis Bay has more than its fair share of culture to inspire your leisure time, with art galleries and sculpture gardens. And you’ll be spoilt for choice with restaurants and cafes too, all right on your doorstep.
