About this property

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.

Great flat w outstanding view

Cosy flat -in quiet street -just 5mins from all local shops, galleries, beach -with simple but comfy fold- down bed. Fantastic views of the town and bay-each morning we raised the blinds and watched the sunrise while lying in bed!

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

Holiday apartment with splendid views

Apart from the panoramic view on the harbour and the bay from the large windows in the sitting room there is a nice terrace outside where you can eat or read a book. The town centre is not far away yet it is quite calm in these peaceful surroundings -> therefore great for families and people fit enough to cope with the steep ways. Cornwall and especially St Ives are always worth a visit :-)

So much potential

Location was fantastic. Views beautiful. But everything felt shabby. Sitting room furniture uncomfortable, rugs need cleaning. Bedroom mattress so uncomfortable we slept only a few hours per night. Duvet cover snaps melted, so cover kept coming off. But the towels we paid extra for were very nice, but I resent paying for basic needs.

Misrepresentation

Location was fine. It was represented that there was a washer/dryer so we packed accordingly but there was no washer dryer. We asked for towels which we got but not sufficient for an apartment with no washer dryer. We talked to owner who explained reason for misrepresentation but that doesn’t satisfy us and more importantly the description of flat is still false continuing to say there is a washer dryer on a number of sites.

A comfortable flat in a superb position

We had a most enjoyable week in St Ives, staying in Barnoon flat 1. The flat had everything we needed and was a very good base for exploring St Ives and other places in the area. We hadn't stayed in St Ives before and thought it was delightful but very crowded, especially during the day. We enjoyed a boat trip to seal island, walks to Carbis Bay and in Zennor, Barbara Hepworth's studio and garden, one bracing swim and several excellent dinners, especially at Alba, The Black Rock and the Seafood Cafe. Further afield, we visited RSPB Hayle Estuary (by train), the Minack theatre, Penzance and the tin mine at Levant which was fascinating. The only downside to St Ives is the difficulty parking: in the whole week we only managed once to find a space in the Barnoon carpark, having to use the big one in Trenwith the rest of the time. The walk up and down the steep hills was a good work-out but pretty miserable if it was raining. We were out and about most of the time but might have felt a little cramped if we had been confined to the flat by the weather. The bed is very comfortable, the sofa less so. The flat was clean and tidy and the TV, washing machine etc all worked well and there was enough storage space for our stuff. The best thing about the flat is undoubtedly the view over St Ives bay which is stunning. It changes with the hour and the weather but is always beautiful. I would recommend the flat to any couple who don't mind walking up and down steep hills.

Beautiful view to the harbour

The flat was comfortable ,with plenty of space as there was a bedroom, separate lounge, kitchen and bathroom. Well located - just a five minute walk down to town and harbour . From the bay window I particularly loved the view down to the boats in the harbour. The flat was a 5 minute walk to St Ives School of painting where I did a weekend course .

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.

About the host

Hosted by Mary Brown

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.
