We bought our Barnoon flat in 1998, having fallen in love with St Ives and the wonderful views from Barnoon Terrace. Then in 2001 we rescued a dilapidated house 50 yards up the hill and converted it into 5 lovely holiday flats. All six of our flats are in a perfect location in St Ives, 5 minutes from everything. They are cheerful and comfortable, and the views are amazing (the view from Flat 4 Seabirds is below).

You can book online from here, or email me, Mary Brown, or phone 0208 995 0873. Emails are always answered very quickly. There's lots of information and photos of each flat on this page, plus availability and booking calendars.And ...

Flat 4 Seabirds House

Sleeps 4 in 2 bedrooms - double and twin

Flat 4, which takes up the whole top floor, is superb. The flat is characterful and spacious and the sitting room has wide sliding glass doors to the balcony and possibly (probably!) the best views in St Ives. Even window cleaners are amazed by it.

Flat 5 Seabirds House

Sleeps 2

Also known as The Cottage, Flat 5 is a single story addition at the back of Seabirds House. It has no sea view but like the other flats its position is ideal, close to beaches, harbour and shops.

Location location ...

The map shows the position of our properties and there are photos that help explain the location below.

Try looking at the map using Satellite too. You can also zoom in or out using the slider on the left of the map.

Seabirds House and Barnoon are less than 5 minutes from beaches, harbour and shops. It may take you a bit longer to get back home, as the hill is steep! The height is what makes the views so spectacular and it also means that both places are very quiet, unlike the busy harbour front.

Flat One, 7 Barnoon Terrace St Ives TR26 1JE

Barnoon Terrace

The open window is the sitting room of our Barnoon flat. A gentle stroll down Barnoon Terrace brings you to Academy Steps, which lead into Fore Street, the heart of old St Ives, and the harbour.

This is Seabirds House. You can see Flat 4's balcony on the top floor. 3 or 4 minutes walk from here brings you to Porthmeor Beach, or to Fore Street and the harbour.

Here's Seabirds House seen from Porthmeor beach. There's a great walk from here round the island to the harbour and back up to Seabirds.

And this photograph shows both properties from the harbour. The white arrow points to Barnoon and the blue one to Seabirds.
