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, wifi, and a washer dryer, this flat is the perfect comfortable and convenient base for a holiday in this fabulous little town.

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.

Schönes Appartement mit Meerblick
Wir haben uns sehr wohlgefühlt. Die Wohnung ist gut eingerichtet und ausgestattet. Den Sitzplatz auf der Terrasse haben wir mit Sonne beim Frühstück sehr genossen, die Aussicht war traumhaft. In der Stadt und am Hafen ist man in 5 Minuten, zum Strand ebenso. Andrea & Markus

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.

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 .

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.
