About this property

Holiday Flat In Central St Ives Cornwall, With Lovely Sea View Across Gardens

Our Barnoon flat is on the ground floor of a Victorian house which fronts onto a pedestrian path. There are gardens opposite the houses and really lovely views of the picturesque harbour and St Ives Bay. The flat is very comfortable, colourful and welcoming - you will feel at home here. And the position couldn't really be better - in one direction you are quickly in town, or at the Wharf and harbour beach. The other way takes you down to Porthmeor surf beach and the famous Tate Gallery. It's steep coming back up - hence the fabulous views, so it's not suitable for anyone with mobility problems. It is (honestly) 5 minutes or less down to the harbour, beaches, shops and restaurants, yet Barnoon Terrace is traffic free, with not a car to be seen. With central heating and wifi, this flat is the perfect comfortable and convenient base for a holiday in this fabulous little town.

Beautiful relaxed stay at St Ives!

It was overall a pleasant stay at this property. The apartment was right at the top of the St Ives harbour with an excellent view of the sea from the living room. The apartment was clean and cozy. . loved our stay. definitely will be back soon!

PRe Christmas break

On arrival all access information worked well. The flat was spotless, cosy and welcoming. We made a full Christmas dinner for our daughter, son in law 2 grandson’s so plenty of kitchen utensils and a cooker that performed well. Hasten to add our daughter and her family live in St Ives. The views were spectacular and added bonus of the view of the Harbour Christmas lights. Would recommend for a cosy romantic break for 2 and Mary we will definitely be booking again . Thank you Chris and Shaun

Amazing views down onto the harbour area, which obviously meant a few steps up to the property and no vehicle access but also quiet as no passing cars

short stay St Ives

Great location, beautiful view from front window. Walking distance to everything of interest in St Ives. Fantastic place to stay, just seems a shame that this property will change to only two guests as it has a perfectly good sofa bed in the front room. Really enjoyed our stay, thank you.

Great view

Arrived at the property, it hadn't been cleaned and there was no clean bed linen. After a long journey there was not even a welcome pack, which would have been very nice as we could not even get a cup of tea or coffee! Then the day before we came home the boiler decided not to work, we were told that as it was a bank holiday it was not very easy to get hold of a plumber and we should use kettles to have a bath, really, it did get repaired.

Weekend winter break

We stayed in Flat 1 for 3 nights at the end of November 2021. The flat is of basic decor, but very clean and the view from the bay window is amazing. Excellent value for money. The position is very good, being 5 minutes from the front. There are very steep steps up to the property from the harbour but the owners make that very clear, don't underestimate that if you have mobility issues. On a winter break be extra wary of this as the steps are not brilliantly lit in the evenings. All in all I would definitely stay there again. One safety issue I would have liked to see addressed - I think a handrail on the 2 sets of narrow stone steps leading to the front door should be installed. When carrying a case and/or in high winds it didn't feel safe.

St Ives, wet, westerly, windy and wonderful

Great view, fabulous position, tricky parking, very friendly owners although there were problems with bathroom and kitchen that were not able to be resolved for us, delicious fish restaurants and inspiring art that was the reason for our visit, and all in all a perfect November break.

Lovely place in St Ives

Fabulous and quiet location and a lucky find during such a busy year in August 2021. Great views over the harbour, lovely lounge space filled with that famous St Ives light! Overall a comfortable and enjoyable place to stay for a week. The bedroom was fine, but only a view of a wall very close to the window and the common drain at the rear was smelly if the window was open. The flat could do with a facelift and the kitchen was challenging to cook in. This said, the price was very reasonable for the location.

The journey was long 5 hrs but worth it all, the view from the window will stay with me forever.

The view is the best ever flat great for our needs if I had one thing I would improve it would be the bed I found it uncomfortable. It was a small price to pay for a wonderful place really enjoyed myself.

About the host

Hosted by Mary Brown

Host profile image
Hello! We are Mary and Henry Brown, the owners.
We live in London and have a wonderful team of people in St Ives who help us to take care of Barnoon and Seabirds House. Henry looks after any issues with the building, and I manage the bookings. I really enjoy the contact with our guests - many regulars feel like friends even when all the contact has been by email.
Apart from St Ives and family, our main interest is sailing - in a dinghy on the Thames and a bigger boat on the sea.

Why they chose this property

We bought our Barnoon Flat in 1998 - we fell in love with the view. And Barnoon Terrace, being pedestrian only, is wonderfully quiet. You look out over gardens and rooftops to the wide sweep of St Ives Bay and the lovely harbour. Not a car in sight.
We let the flat to other holidaymakers as well as using it ourselves from the start. Then we saw another property just up the hill which was in a very sorry state and managed to buy that and have the inside completely rebuilt making 5 more lovely flats. It's called Seabirds House - see E13912.
