About this property

Converted barn near St Ives. Fabulous location with far reaching views.


As we relax a little bit now over Covid 19 we have changed book in to 4pm and check out to 10am. As always we will message you as soon as the property is ready on your check in day.

'The Milking Parlour' was converted in 2008. It is just 2 miles from the popular harbour town of St Ives, but peacefully located high near the dramatic north Cornwall coast and ideal for exploring the rugged cliffs and country of this beautiful area. The property has slate floors throughout, with underfloor heating powered by geothermal energy from our own boreholes. In addition infrared panels have been fitted to the ceiling in the living room in case you need an extra burst of heat. Also, solar panels make the most of the sunlight to make this a very energy efficient property.
The property has two bedrooms, (one with king size bed, and en suite wet room; the second with twin beds,) family bathroom, kitchen/diner, and large living room with wood burning stove, and a 'hideaway' double bed.
Outside to one side of the property is an enclosed courtyard area, while on the other side there is a garden and large raised patio area with a panoramic view down to the sea - the ideal place to enjoy a barbecue and watch the sun set. there is parking for 3 or more cars.


Bookings: Usually Saturday to Saturday in the main part of the summer, but in early or late season shorter stays are possible. Check out the calendar to see what's available, or send us an enquiry, we are always happy to try and accommodate your holiday.

Cosy barn that feels remote yet only minutes from St Ives
Loved the location - so quiet and peaceful yet only a few minutes drive into St Ives and to lots of beautiful beaches and the SW coast path. Perfect place for a small family - Prrfe

Perfect!
So pleased I found this property, it was perfect for our NYE break. Local to where we live we get a lot of fireworks & our dogs were able to relax with no noise of fireworks here, it feels really remote, but it’s only a few miles to local shops. We travelled into St Ives & Marazion & St Michael’s Mount just a short drive away, during our stay.The property is very secure, we could let the dogs out in the courtyard knowing they couldn’t escape. The kitchen is well equipped, like a home from home & the living room is a lovely comfortable place to relax. We really enjoyed our short stay here, just perfect for our old dog.

Amazing cottage.
We stayed here about a year ago and loved it so much we returned and brought family. They also thought it was one of the nicest cottages they had ever stayed in. It’s so well designed and stocked like an actual home. We love the fact you can walk your dogs in rural tranquility or walk to St Ives if you fancy a beautiful day at the coast. A fantastic gem of a place, will definitely return. Thank you.

A beautiful house
This was certainly the most wonderful stay I have had anywhere! A beautiful house set in the amazing cornish countryside. Very peaceful and quiet, perfect for dogs as well. The property / furnishings are of a very high standard, kitchen was really well equiped (with a lovely welcome basket with cornish goodies) and the house was immaculately clean! We fully recommend this place 10/10.

Magical retreat in the country
Can't begin to say enough good things about this extraordinary home away from home. The place is tucked away on a quiet hillside just far enough from the insanity that is St. Ives in the summer, with a view out to the sea from the upper terrace, yet within easy driving distance of shopping and all the important sights. Spotless, comfortable, beautiful and stylish, everything you could possibly need. Highest possible recommendation.

Amazing Place, Amazing Location!
This place was even better than the pictures. Bigger, more space, newer amenities and everything we needed. The little lane it was down was beautiful. The neighbors were great. Sarah was super responsive and we had amazing time. So close to St. Ives, Penzance and other locales but removed from the center of all the busy areas. If you are ok with little lanes and country sounds and smells...this is the place for you. We'll be back!

A wonderful stay in a gorgeous property
Sarah’s communication was brilliant. The property is a in a beautiful rural location. The photos are fab, but don’t do the property justice, it was excellent. The attention to small details like having bed guards, high chairs etc available was brilliant, and the welcome basket of Cornish goodies was a lovely touch. We had a truly lovely stay and will definitely be returning. Thank you Sarah.

Unrivalled value
Arrived to find a property you can only dream of when it comes to value for money. Huge house, all facilities and quiet! We wished we could take it with us around the UK. For up to 4 people or a large family you could not ask for more. You just need your own transport. Thanks Sarah. Chris & Debra.

About the host

Hosted by Sarah O'Hora

Host profile image
Although we live in Devon, St Ives has held a place in our hearts since three of the family learnt to SCUBA dive there many years ago. The dive centres have since closed and our children have grown up but we still love the area. Our barn is in a small hamlet and we are blessed with amazing neighbours. It is always a balm to the soul to visit.

Why they chose this property

The Milking Parlour has an atmosphere all its own, and to visit is to take a step outside everyday life. It is of course comfortable and well equipped, but beyond that it provides a sanctuary.

What makes this property unique

Just step out the door and walk up to the top of the hill. In one direction is the North Cornwall coast, with absolutely nothing all the way across the ocean to America and look the other way to the South coast and St Michael's Mount. Fresh and clean, the Cornish air will blow away the cobwebs you didn't even know you had!
