Relax with the whole family at this peaceful place to stay just outside of the picturesque town of St Ives. It’s a 30 minute coastal walk or 10 minute drive.
A converted barn near the coast with fabulous views and the most amazing skies at night. It’s been carefully fitted for breaks throughout the year, be it the log burner for cosy nights in or the outside furniture for those summer BBQs.
A great combination of rustic architecture and modern fittings.

Trowan is a quiet hamlet West of St Ives. A collection of granite homes, barn conversions and farmhouses, surrounded by fields.
There is a path to St Ives that takes around 30 minutes, partly along the coastal path.
The nearest shops are a 5 minute drive to a Coop in St Ives or 10 minutes to Tesco (St Ives town centre is closer).
The nearest pubs would be The Halsetown Inn and The Tinners Arms at Zennor. Lots and lots of places to eat in St Ives!
Trowan is a rural destination. The nearest bus stop is a good mile away.
Best to arrive here by car or by bike has been known to.
Trowan Lane is quite narrow and has some grass growing up the middle of the lane, usually lower in summer.
The property is on a private drainage system and restrictions on what goes down the drains apply.
The rural location of Trowan means the water is serviced privately via a borehole to the hamlet. In rare instances the supply can be disrupted, a maintenance contract is in place to rectify issues as soon possible.

Fantastic stay – the location is great, far enough out of St Ives to feel nice and remote, but close enough to walk in (around 35/40 mins coastal walk). So peaceful, could sit outside and feel really relaxed, no traffic noise, just the odd bird breaking the silence! House was well stocked with everything we needed including a good selection of family games. Would definitely stay again and we were very sad to have to leave!
A lovely clean and nicely presented accommodation
Great long weekend away, beautiful place with sea views, home from home
A wonderful location to explore the coastline & easy access to St Ives (either walk, drive or a relatively cheap taxi). A lovely wood burner making it a very cosy stay.

I had a really pleasant stay. Sam is a great host and the listing is really comfortable and clean.
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.
