The lounge and master bedroom have panoramic views across to the Island and St Nicholas’ Chapel to the east, and towards Clodgy Point to the west.

Barnaloft was part of the renowned 1960s St Ives artistic community. In the same building, No. 4 Barnaloft – once home to the potter Bernard Leach – is available to book, with a modern kitchen and dining area, two bedrooms, a lounge with breathtaking views over Porthmeor, a private lock-up garage and direct access to the beach.

Porthmeor Beach & Downalong

Barnaloft is only a few minutes’ walk from the boutique shops, renowned restaurants and art galleries of St Ives, and gives direct access to breathtaking coastal walks westwards towards Zennor. Porthmeor is popular with sunbathers and surfers alike, with lifeguards from late May to the end of September.

Above the beach stands Tate St Ives, and Barbara Hepworth’s former studio and garden – now the Barbara Hepworth Museum – is a short stroll away.
