20 Barnaloft

Absolutely outstanding place to stay. The accommodation was maintained to a very high standard of cleanliness, and the quality of the furnishings and kitchenware was excellent we especially loved the Le Creuset teapot. We practically lived on the balcony throughout our stay, enjoying the stunning view. The sofa cover may seem a little fiddly at first, but once you get used to it, it's very easy to adjust and is well worth it for such a comfortable sofa and those incredible views. As our break coincided with the first heatwave of the season, we were especially grateful for the fans provided, which made a real difference to our comfort. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would definitely consider booking again if we return to St Ives.

We can thoroughly recommend this flat. The decor and fittings are superb. The balcony is a real bonus overlooking the beach with gorgeous settee.

Lovely accommodation which is clean, comfortable and well maintained. Fantastic sea views with easy access to the beach.

Just a little piece of paradise!

The apartment is spotlessly clean, very well equipped and the views are amazing. After dropping all the bags off, the included free parking 10 minutes walk away is an absolute bonus. One thing that might be helpful to know is that the en-suite to the main bedroom is extremely compact. Beds are comfy. We had a great stay and the owners were very accommodating over a specific request. Thank you. St Ives is a great little town with no end of eating, drinking, walking and excellent public transport links.

Absolutely stunning apartment! It really does have the wow factor! It's modern, clean and has the most stunning sea views that literally take your breath away! The location is perfect - literally right on the beach and just a couple of minutes walk to town. The offsite parking is also very handy. Can't wait to stay here again!

It's hard to imagine how this top-floor apartment could be bettered. The beach is right there below the balcony, and the sky views through the huge windows are spectacular. Two decent bedrooms - one with en suite and a second bathroom complete all the accommodation we could have needed, and all mod cons - dishwasher, washing machine, cooker etc are smart and new. Would recommend to any couple or couples who love the town and coast of St Ives as we do. And Orange Roofs were very helpful.

Excellent property and a great location.We will be booking again for next year.

A perfect apartment in decor, cleanliness, position and close proximity to beach and town, and with a stunning sea view. When you walk through the door it's a 'wow' moment! Everything we needed was in the apartment. The modern fans during the heatwave was a welcome find. The offsite parking space is also very handy as many in St Ives don't have this. We wheeled our luggage down to the apartment on arrival as we felt this was easier than navigating the windy and busy harbour streets late afternoon. Its a short walk. Barely 10 mins. On departure we took the car down to load up early morning. We didnt fancy the walk back up. This worked perfectly for us. Overall our stay provided us a whole new experience at a holiday rental of this nature, so much so I'm not sure we can go back to hotels again! It will be our first choice for any future visit to St Ives.

Great apartment, fantastic location, perfect for the beach, bars and restaurants. Although due to the stairs it is not suitable for a family with young children. We would stay here again.

We chose this apartment for its location and sea view. We were not disappointed. This property affords you beautiful sea views and is close to St Ives centre. The apartment was very clean and well maintained and appointed. There was also a welcome package of milk eggs and bread. We were lucky with the weather and thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Perfect location and beautiful apartment.

20 Barnaloft is a lovely apartment with fabulous views, it is comfortable and well equipped too!

We recently stayed in 20 Barnaloft - my husband, my 5.5 year old son and I for October half term and we absolutely loved it. Absolutely amazing location - very central, gorgeous views, great if you want to go on the beach (which we did most days, despite being October) and good shop opposite the back entrance for any bits and bobs needed. Well presented and comfortable. Well equipped kitchen - which we were grateful of and nice welcome package provided. Although quite compact it ticket every box for us and we would not hesitate to return - and hope it's not too long before we do. Would recommend, but could be a slight squash with x4 adults IMO

We absolutely loved our stay at 20 Barnaloft. The location was perfect and the apartment itself is so beautifully done and it was spotlessly clean. The little touches really top it off and it's clear that a lot of time, effort, care and expense has been poured into making this a place for people to really enjoy. It's a real gem. Having a parking space is an absolute god send in St Ives and the fact that it's a short walk away was a positive for us as we enjoyed the stroll and the views along the way. Having the St Ives surf school on the doorstep was a massive plus for us too. We were so sad to leave and we will definitely be back. Thank you for having us

Staying at Barnaloft was wonderful. It was my last holiday before starting cancer treatment and this wonderful location made it a very special week. The property has everything you need and more, with beautiful Beach views, parking nearby and easy access to the beach and a short walk to some of the best restaurants in St Ives. Thank you to Orange Roofs for offering a beautiful well kept and clean property. Will definitely come again once my treatment is over.

Fabulous location! Fabulous views! We didn't use our car once as Barnaloft is well situated to walk everywhere - beaches, galleries, shops, restaurants. We would definitely recommend this property and will stay again. Orange Roofs staff are brilliant too - quick to respond to any queries, friendly and helpful.

Fabulous apartment right on the beach and close to all the amenities you need! The beach cafe, deli, shops, bars etc. Excellent views from the balcony. Very well kitted out with comfortable seating and two very nice bathrooms. It was great to be so close to the beach and have the private access through the gate. Despite the mixed weather it meant we could spend all day going back and forth from the apartment to the beach.

We have found the perfect place to stay in St Ives - a panoramic view of Porthmeor beach from a private balcony and a well equipped bright quiet flat!

Amazing in every aspect from booking, to the apartment, to the incredible location. The team at Orange Roofs were super accommodating for my dates and request and were super helpful. The apartment was super clean and tidy, everything was accessible. The furnishings were simple but not spared and completely lush. The bed I wanted to take home and bedding.. it was the comfiest, best sleep I've had in ages, along with the fluffy towels. We were left a fresh bloomer bread from the local bakery, eggs, cornish butter, tea bags and lots of other little bits which were just lovely. LOCATION!! We got checked in and settled down just in time for a gorgeous sunset, which we watched together on the balcony with the sand a few foot down from our feet. The views for the whole weekend rain or shine were incredible! A-MAZE-ING!!! To top it off, the communication with the housekeeper topped off out stay as they were so lovely and allowed us not to rush our check out, giving us a time they would be round. Cannot wait to come back and book this again. It was a first time for our children in St Ives and they absolutely fell in love with it just as much as we did a couple years ago! Thank you, thank you, thank you!! Amazing start to end. If your looking for a getaway- you MUST STAY HERE !! X

A beautiful flat with the most wonderful views of our favourite beach! Would love to come again!

A well equipped,clean apartment right on the beach

Lovely apartment in a superb location. The towels were lovely, the views and location are outstanding and the equipment in the house is great. It's good to have the little consumables which were left too, so thanks for that.

Wonderful stay. Immaculate and super clean. Well equipped with a high end finish. Super comfy beds, amazing location and a home from home, even with two young children in tow! Loved it and would highly recommend.

We had a fabulous time. Wonderful view of the beach and well-appointed flat 

Second time staying at this wonderful property. Stunning location and views, well equipped, clean and comfortable. Love the private access door from the courtyard straight onto the beach. Have booked again for next year.

5 star property and cleanliness!

We stayed at 20 Barnaloft whilst we were in St Ives to get married! 
It was the perfect place to stay for such a special week and it definitely didn't disappoint. Perfect location and it was amazing to wake up to the view of Porthmeor Beach every morning! 

Go there! Stunning location, clean, cosy, well organised. We loved it there.

The apartment is fabulous. The location is perfect for exploring St Ives and for enjoying the beach. We particularly loved the balcony, every night the sunsets were gorgeous. The apartment is quite small, but has been cleverly designed to make it comfortable. Having two bathrooms is a great feature. The bathrooms have fab rainfall showers. Everything is finished to a high spec, and the kitchen was well kitted out, appreciated the Nespresso machine too!
Parking was a bit tricky, whilst nice to have a designated spot at the rugby club, we opted to get a weekly rover car parking ticket (£50 a week) and used the Barnooon car park as easier to get to. **Management Comment: Dear guests, please note that the allocated parking space for 20 Barnaloft has moved from the St Ives Rugby Club to Westward Road on Porthmeor Hill**

20 Barnaloft is outstanding in every way. Upon entering, I felt overwhelmed with emotion. Not only is the view breathtaking, but to I felt exceptionally lucky to be staying in such a beautiful apartment. Dilly, the housekeeper. maintains the property to a standard you rarely see. Spotlessly clean, I felt like I was the first person to stay there. The kitchen had everything you could possibly need. The bedrooms were luxurious and the rainfall showers made it even more special. 20 Barnaloft has to be the number one place to stay. It felt a real privilege to be there, so a big thank you both to the owners and Orange Roofs.

Stunning apartment, extremely well equipped. Above all the location literally on the beach cannot be beaten. The ever changing seascape combined with the huge full glazed wall make this apartment the perfect choice. 
So good we have booked to return early next year.

Perfect

We had a fantastic week at 20 Barnaloft. It is a wonderful, clean, contemporary and light apartment, which felt surprisingly spacious given it's small footprint. The kitchen was great with a good sized fridge/freezer, full size dishwasher and washer/dryer. The bedrooms were very comfortable with good storage and the shower rooms beautifully appointed. The stand out feature though was the spectacular location, the view was incredible and the balcony's large and comfortable sofa proved pretty hard to leave! The Orange Roofs team were absolutely great to deal with and also gave us a fabulous restaurant recommendation, The Fish Shed, amazing food and eating in an outdoor booth overlooking Porthmeor beach was pretty magical too. We hope to return.

This property has lovely view of beach and location is near to harbour everything in the property was of good quality. The beds were very comfortable and bathrooms high quality. The on suite bathroom in main bedroom needs a shelf there was no were to put toothbrushes etc. the stairs are steep to bedrooms so small children would find this difficult. Some instructions for appliances would be helpful as we are older and not tech mindful. All in all a lovely holiday shame about weather

Orange Roofs comment: Thank you for your review Robert, it is such you stayed as Storm Eunice passed over the west. The Orange Roofs App has detailed step by step guide to appliances and heating in the apartment, we do try to communicate this to all guests before they arrive yet don't want to 'over communicate' either so we are sorry you didn't contact us so we could have pointed you in the right direction. Within the App, we also mention the stair gradients, please see: Stair Gradients The stair gradient up to the second level apartments has a gradient of 25 degrees. This is not very steep at all but there are quite a few steps. Within the apartment the gradient is slightly steeper at 45 degrees, this is above the 'ideal' gradient of being between 32-37.

if i had to mention one thing the balcony furniture is too bulky a bistro table and chairs would be so much better

This is a lovely apartment with stunning views over Porthmeor Beach. It has been tastefully refurbished and is very comfortable with all modern furnishings and appliances - highly recommended.

We wouldn't hesitate to re-book 20 Barnaloft it was perfectly decorated & with high-end appliances, nothing but praise from us

From the moment we opened the door and saw the view we knew we were going to LOVE this apartment! We were a family of four with two teenage daughters and the apartment was perfect for us. The location is incredible and to be on the beach in literally seconds is amazing. The view from the balcony is like no other and perfect for a glass of wine whilst watching the sunsets and sunrise. The bathrooms are compact but perfectly formed and despite their smaller size the bedrooms offer plenty of storage. The living space is ample big enough for four and offers everything you could possibly need. There is space to drive up to the apartment to unload luggage before you park your car at the rugby club a short 25 min (but very uphill) walk away. There are two flights of stairs to the apartment but it's worth it for the view! We had a fantastic break and would highly recommend this apartment…we hope to be back very soon! **Management Comment: Dear guests, please note that the allocated parking space for 20 Barnaloft has moved from the St Ives Rugby Club to Westward Road on Porthmeor Hill**

This place lived up to and exceeded all our expectations. We arrived super late and so had resigned ourselves to no dinner and were delighted to find a gorgeous welcome hamper of fresh quality local produce waiting for us. The place was spotless with all the mod cons you'd expect and more! Every detail thought of. It really was like going from home to home with more! It was pitch dark when we arrived so waking up to the gorgeous sea view a stones throw away was just breathtaking. The apartment is so pretty and calming we didn't want to leave even to explore which isn't like us! That said the central location meant that we didn't have to venture to far or for too long before we were back on our balcony enjoying the weather, fresh air and view. For beach lovers you are seconds away! This place is magical. Thank you to the owners for making it so.
