11 Barnaloft is a beachfront apartment with parking in an onsite garage. Located on Porthmeor, the infamous home of St Ives surfing and Tate St Ives.

Being on the cusp of this beach means you’ll be just a few steps from front door to the sand and better still the views from your living room, balcony and master bedroom are completely uninterrupted.

The heart of St Ives is a short stroll away, within easy reach you’ll have pubs, galleries, bakeries, shops, restaurants and so on.

Enter 11 Barnaloft via it’s own private set of steps leading to the front door from the rear courtyard.

It’s from this same courtyard there is an access door for residents to the beach (this may not always be available depending on sand movement – we are at the will of the Atlantic!).

Inside 11 Barnaloft you will find a fully equipped kitchen with oven, microwave, hob, dishwasher, washer-dryer, and plenty of crockery, glassware and utensils.

The living and dining area face directly out to sea, there are two large comfortable sofas, Smart TV and fibre broadband. The dining area seats four.

From here you can access your own private balcony overlooking Porthmeor beach. It has a table and chairs so you can sit back and take in the views (and did we mention the sunsets?).

The master bedroom has a king size bed and also has superb beach views across the balcony to Porthmeor, Man’s Head, The Island and the wild Atlantic beyond. There is plenty of storage in here. It also enjoys the recent addition of an ensuite with shower and WC.

The twin bedroom is to the rear, it also has storage and two single beds.

The bathroom has a heated towel rail, bath with overhead shower, basin and WC.

Nearby you’ll find plenty of amenities. One of the handiest is the wonderful Norway Stores a minutes walk away, small but extremely well stocked with lovely owners.

St Ives Bakery is a short meander through the side streets and The Sloop Inn is a 3 minute walk away.

There are several other beaches to find in easy walking distance including Porthgwidden, Porthminster and the harbour.

The garage can be used for parking a vehicle. The dimensions are 187cm high, 240cm wide and 460cm deep.

All of the apartment besides a few locked cupboards.

We’re a small team that live locally and know the town, area and these apartments well. We use a self service check-in but we do like to help our guests so we’re here for recommendations, advice and to help.
We might be pottering in the area so you might see us too and we may say hello if we’re passing.

St Ives is a very special community and after a visit here you’ll find it no surprise that it’s been voted the happiest place to live. The whole town is beautiful and surrounded by crystal clear water, yet there is something very special about the Downalong area where Barnaloft is.

I’ve worked in this part of town for over ten years and have lost count of the number of sunsets that have blown my mind away, the small community in this part is also very caring.

With many great places to shop, eat, drink and chill we recommend exploring on foot. A few names to drop though, St Ives Surf School, Porthmeor Beach Cafe, Yallah Coffee, St Ives Bakery, West Beach and of course the essential Norway Stores.

As you are well located near the heart of town most amenities are very nearby. The bus and train station are a 10 minute walk away.

The Island public pay car Park is often busy but is only a 4 minute walk away.

This is an amazing apartment with the best views imaginable. It had everything we needed. Everything is just a 5 minute walk away or less. Sam was so responsive and helpful to our enquiries. I would definitely recommend this property and host. Thank you for a wonderful stay.

loved this apartment, views couldn’t have been better and having a garage was a real plus in this location. i was there for a short course at the st ives school of painting which was two buildings along so that was perfect. i know st ives really well so i knew all the local restaurants etc already, there isn’t a lot of local information in the apartment so that’s something to bear in mind if you’re new to the area. slightly annoying to have to empty all the bins ourselves but that was a very minor niggle given there are wheelie bins near the garages. very well equipped for a short stay, had everything we needed. we were also offered an early check in. great hosts, thank you for a wonderful stay. would definitely recommend

Location, location, location (as they say). Absolutely perfect location. Right in the beach and less than 5 mins to a number of excellent restaurants and galleries. Detailed instructions from the hosts were helpful and they were always in hand to help. Others have mentioned driving/parking. It’s a feature of the town (narrow lanes). And yes the garage is small but it was able to handle a SUV. We will be back!

Such a magical location that I had to give this 5 stars. The view, the setting is incredible. There were some tiny niggles but overall this is an exceptional place to stay and we would definitely come again. Driving is not for the feint-hearted, my advice is to use a small car. So much to see, do and explore and the view from the apartment or balcony for sunset every evening means there's really no point having a TV there….!!!

Second time staying. It’s a lovely flat with an amazing view. I recommend booking this place. The location is great, beach in front of your window so you can watch the world/dogs go by. Kitchen up to date, I’d say due to the location of the flat be prepared for the noise of the waves close to the building in the early hours. We also found the door leading to the balcony difficult to close. This is due to the door being wooden so has swelled during the wet stormy weather. Sofas aren’t the most comfortable but I’m being really picky. I’d be happy to stay at this location again as it’s central to St Ives.

St Ives

St Ives has a way of pulling you in — not just for the sea and the light, but for the feeling. The beaches are golden, the harbour hums with life, and around every corner there’s something quietly special: a tucked-away bakery, a gallery you didn’t mean to find, a lane that leads somewhere worth pausing. It’s busy in summer, sure — but come in the shoulder months and you’ll see it slow down, breathe, open up.
