Uno Moor Side – Luxury self catering accommodation – Parking Overview

First Impressions

You know what strikes you first about Uno Moor Side – Luxury self catering accommodation – Parking? It’s not actually a hotel at all, which honestly makes it so much better for couples looking to escape the usual tourist crowds. This self-catering gem sits quietly in Carbis Bay, and I mean quietly — you’re tucked away from the main hustle but still close enough to everything that matters. The fact that recent guests rated the location 8.5 out of 10 tells you something, and after spending time here, I get why couples keep coming back.

Location & Neighborhood

Carbis Bay is one of those places that locals in St Ives will tell you about if they actually like you — it’s got the same stunning coastline but without the summer parking nightmares. From Uno Moor Side, you’re literally a few minutes’ walk to Carbis Bay Beach, which is this gorgeous stretch of golden sand that somehow stays relatively peaceful even in peak season. The South West Coast Path runs right nearby, so if you’re into hiking (or even just gentle coastal walks), you’ve got some of the most spectacular scenery in Cornwall right at your doorstep.

The Accommodation

The self-catering setup here is actually perfect — you get your own space without hotel staff hovering around, plus there’s free private parking on site, which honestly is worth its weight in gold in this part of Cornwall. The accommodation feels thoughtfully designed for couples, with everything you need to cook your own meals or just make morning coffee without having to get dressed and venture out. I found the space comfortable and well-equipped, though it’s the little touches that make it special — proper attention to detail that shows someone actually cares about your stay.

What Makes It Special

Here’s the thing about this place — it gets the balance right between being close to attractions but far enough away to feel like a proper retreat. You can walk to Carbis Bay station and catch the branch line train to St Ives in about ten minutes, which is actually more fun than driving and dealing with the parking chaos there. The area around Moorside has this residential feel that’s refreshing after you’ve been battling tourist crowds, and you’ll find yourself appreciating the quiet evenings and peaceful mornings.

Why Couples Love It

The feedback about couples rating this place highly makes complete sense once you experience it. There’s something about having your own private space with parking sorted, being able to cook together or grab takeaway from nearby pubs, and then having those stunning coastal walks right there when you want them. It’s intimate without being isolated, and practical without losing the romance of being in one of Cornwall’s most beautiful spots. Plus, that perfect 10 rating suggests other guests have found exactly what they were looking for — a proper base for exploring this incredible coastline together.

Reviews of Uno Moor Side – Luxury self catering accommodation – Parking

• 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.
