A lovely condo right on porthmeor beach. It had everything we needed and was perfect for our (last minute) uk beach style holiday. Our second time staying at the barnaloft buildings, so knew what to expect, but this rental with the bonus of an on site parking space was great and made life so much easier on arrival and departure. Great location close to everything you may need.
Fantastic week, the view is amazing. Beautiful apartment, exactly as described. Would definitely recommend
Astounding views, comfortable property. Well equipped kitchen.
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.
