After surviving the worst winter storms in a generation, businesses in St Ives in Cornwall are busy preparing for the Spring season and a busy Easter holiday. One such business is Carbis Bay Holidays which has expanded from nearby Carbis Bay to offer a growing number of holiday properties in St Ives.
The holiday accommodation provider reports that St Ives is well and truly #openforbusiness, with strong bookings for 2014 at the 50 or so self-catering cottages, houses and apartments it represents in the town.
Although the winter storms caused some damage along the beaches in St Ives, the properties managed by Carbis Bay Holidays were unscathed. The company says holidaymakers should expect the same excellent standards and superb tourism facilities for which St Ives is known and loved.
Amanda O’Toole from Carbis Bay Holidays said: “VisitCornwall has done an excellent job with its #openforbusiness campaign to reassure people travelling to Cornwall that they can still enjoy excellent holidays. It seems like this message has worked as bookings for accommodation in St Ives are looking very good for Easter and beyond.”
This is great news for the company which entered the highly competitive St Ives holiday market, after gaining success and a loyal following for its property portfolio in nearby Carbis Bay.
Carbis Bay Holidays was established in 2000 and built up a solid reputation by marketing only a handful of very local superior seaside properties. Over the years, the company has built on this early success by only taking on a hand-picked selection of high-end properties throughout the St Ives and Carbis Bay area.
The company now represents 130 properties in total, well over a third of which are based in St Ives.
Amanda O’Toole commented: “St Ives was a natural progression for us. We’re only next door, so we know the town extremely well and are able to service the properties to the same high standards. Many guests who stay with us in Carbis Bay, love to experience everything that St Ives has to offer - and vice versa. So we knew there would be strong demand from our customers.
“St Ives is a superb tourist destination - it’s beautiful, culturally rich and vibrant. It’s good to see it thriving as a holiday resort, despite what Mother Nature threw at it earlier this year.”
