Shopping in St Ives
From books to jewellery to freshly made food, shopping in St Ives is a Cornish tradition thanks to the cobbled streets and independent shops that line them.
For those in search of an escape with the beautiful shoreline right on your doorstep, look no further than 5 Barnaloft! Situated in the heart of St Ives' in the historic Downalong area, the apartment sleeps up to four guests in two bedrooms, with the master bedroom boasting the most spectacular sea views, what an inspiring sight to start the day. The apartment is decorated throughout in a calming palette, featuring contemporary Cornish artwork, with the large windows, perfectly capturing the stunning views, you're sure to while away an hour or two simply taking them in! Outside, you will find two outside areas, a bijoux patio, which catches the early morning sun, or the seaward facing balcony, with front row seats to Porthmeor Beach.
Locations don't get much better than this, with direct access onto the beach from the apartment complex. Wake up in the morning and stroll onto the sand for a dip in the sea, play beach games in the afternoons, or simply unwind with a good book under the sunshine. The apartment is located only a few minutes' walk from the bustling harbour front, where you'll find a fantastic collection of cafes, restaurants, and boutique shops, dotted along the quaint cobbled streets. The apartment has a designated private parking space, so you won't have the stresses of trying to park, if you choose to venture out of St Ives for the day and visit the surrounding areas of beautiful West Cornwall, such as Godrevy Lighthouse or Penzance. However, if leaving the car at home, then the train station can be found just over a 15-minute walk away.
two external steps lead down into the courtyard and to the apartment door, into the entrance hall with doors to:
electric hob and oven, quooker tap, fridge with freezer compartment.
dining table with seating for four, three seater sofa, two relaxer chairs, TV, window bench, superb views overlooking Porthmeor beach, door to the balcony with two chairs.

The most perfect apartment in Barnaloft and we've stayed in a lot! All on one level once inside the apartment and only 2 small steps to the entrance. The onsite garage is such a bonus and the town is within a 2 minute walk and the beach even nearer. Can not recommend this apartment highly enough.

With a beachside cafe boasting panoramic sea views and a popular surf school catering to all abilities, the sheltered cove of Porthmeor has all you need for fun-filled beach days, plus the bustling heart of St Ives and the iconic harbour is just a short walk away. Relax and enjoy the view from one of our many self-catering beach-front apartments in this delightful corner of St Ives. You can plan your beach days by checking our Porthmeor beach webcam.
Porthmeor means 'large cove' in Cornish?

Thank you for your feedback; it's wonderful to hear you felt this property was in a perfect location for you; with being so close to the town and close enough to touch the sand, we have to agree! We aim to offer a wide range of properties that we hope will meet the different budgets, differing requirements, and individual tastes and while this isn't the cheapest property we market, it also isn't the most expensive either and we do try to be as open about the price prior to booking. We are glad to know that you feel it would be hard to do better than this; we hope we can welcome you back again soon. Phoebe, Customer Services

The stay at 5 Barnaloft was a new adventure that worked really well for us, great ground floor apartment providing the ideal location for atmospheric views of both the tides and the ever changing life on the beach. Perfect for taking in amazing peninsula weather or spending time discovering the shops or setting out for a walk, exciting all round the location, just great !

Super location to enjoy a beach holiday with sunsets galore to be enjoyed from the balcony. Close to amenities and the hustle and bustle of town too. The property is comfortably and beautifully furnished and a real sanctuary for simply listening to the sound of the sea. Loved it!
