Uno Moor Side – Luxury self catering accommodation – Parking

Hotel Description

You know what struck me first about Uno Moor Side? It’s that feeling when you pull up and actually think “oh, this is going to be good” – and honestly, places rarely live up to that initial spark. This one does. Tucked away on Moorside in Carbis Bay, it’s got that perfect balance of being close enough to everything but far enough from the chaos that summer brings to St Ives proper. The parking situation alone is worth mentioning because, let’s be real, anyone who’s tried to find a spot in Carbis Bay during peak season knows it’s basically a contact sport.

The self-catering setup here is what luxury should actually mean – not just fancy fixtures (though those are lovely), but thoughtful details that make you feel like you’re borrowing a very stylish friend’s place rather than staying in some sterile rental. I mean, the kitchen actually has proper knives and more than two wine glasses, which sounds basic but you’d be surprised how many places get this wrong. The whole space feels deliberately curated without being precious about it. Large windows frame views that change throughout the day – morning light hits differently than that golden hour glow, and both are pretty spectacular from here. What I really appreciated was how quiet it gets at night; you’re close enough to hear the sea if you open the windows, but the road noise that plagues some Carbis Bay spots just isn’t an issue.

The location gives you options, which is key when you’re staying somewhere for more than a quick weekend. Walk down to Carbis Bay beach in about five minutes (the path’s actually quite pleasant, not some treacherous cliff scramble), or head the other direction toward St Ives if you want the full tourist experience – though honestly, I’d recommend doing St Ives early morning or late afternoon to avoid the crowds that pour off the train from London. The little Spar shop is closer than you’d think for those essential supplies, and there’s something satisfying about making your morning coffee in a properly equipped kitchen while still being steps away from some of Cornwall’s best coastal walks. It’s that rare find where the 10 rating actually makes sense – not because everything’s perfect in some impossible way, but because the things that matter most (comfort, location, genuine attention to detail) are all dialed in just right.

Reviews

• Eliana from United Kingdom – 3 June 2025 (10/10)

  We had a truly wonderful experience staying at this property! The accommodation was incredibly comfortable, modern, safe and spotlessly clean — everything felt fresh and everything was new. It has been recently renovated/redecorated to a great standard.
  It had all the amenities we needed, which made our stay effortless and relaxing. From the cozy living spaces to the well-equipped kitchen and stylish/minimalist decor, every detail was thoughtfully designed.
  
  The hosts were fantastic — welcoming, responsive, and genuinely caring. They made us feel right at home and went above and beyond to ensure we had a great stay. They even prepared a basket with lovely items for the stay (wine, coffee pods for the coffee machine, biscuits, etc) a very nice welcome touch – as well as providing us with teas, milk, butter, etc.
  
  In addition to this, the location was fantastic. 10-15mins walk to Carbis Bay beach (it is a beautiful and peaceful walk though the forest) 30-40mins walk to the centre of St Ives (you can walk from Carbis Bay beach though the forest and go to Porthminster Beach or to the centre – it is a great walk.
  The house is just 15mins walking distance to a large Tesco.
  
  This is a very comfortable house for 8 people and I would even say that 2 extra kids can easily sleep on the sofas located in the living room (sleeping 10 people in total).
  
  The wi-fi works perfectly if you need to work. 3 of the 4 rooms are equipped with a table with usb sockets and plugs. BBQ is also available at the house and nice well done garden, small but it’s pretty.
  
  We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a peaceful, top-quality place to stay. A real gem in Carbis Bay!
  
  What could be improved: It’s not that I didn’t like it — the driveway is actually quite spacious once you’re parked. However, if you’re driving a larger vehicle (such as a Volvo EX90, Range Rover, Ford Tourneo, Hyundai Santa Fe, or Mercedes GLS), it might take a couple of careful maneuvers to reverse and park properly.
  
  That said, if you have a smaller car, parking is effortless from the start. The driveway can easily accommodate two large vehicles parked one behind the other, which is definitely a plus. Just something to be aware of if you’re arriving with a larger SUV or van.
