Baragwainaith is a pretty two storey stone cottage nestled in the small sleepy clifftop hamlet of Trowan just a mile outside St Ives. It enjoys breath-taking views of the sea and is very secluded but is equally only a short drive to the hustle and bustle of St Ives with its famous beaches, restaurants and galleries. Many famous sites and National Trust properties are within easy reach as well as the South West coast path which runs alongside the hamlet.

About a holiday in St Ives...
St Ives has everything you need for a holiday in Cornwall. A choice of beaches, stunning views, great surf, a wide range of places to eat and some of the finest art galleries in the UK. This picturesque coastal town offers something for everyone, making it a fantastic destination year-round.
The heart of this family-friendly town is the harbour, which is backed by independent eateries, local galleries and unique shops. Not to be missed is the Sloop Inn, one of the oldest pubs in Britain dating back to 1312 – the perfect location for soaking up the maritime atmosphere.
For those who love a scenic stroll, follow the cliff path north from the harbour to St Ives Island. This grassy peninsula, perched between Porthmeor and Porthgwidden beaches, offers breath-taking views of the surrounding coastline.
St Ives beaches are known for their crystalline waters, perfect for swimming and sunbathing during the summer. In the autumn, swap your swimsuit for a wetsuit and try your hand at surfing with St Ives surf school.
Overlooking Porthmeor Beach is the renowned Tate St Ives, featuring contemporary art exhibitions from world-famous artists. Just a short walk away, the Penwith Gallery – housed in a former pilchard-packing factory – showcases work by the town's many local artists. Other must-see art spots include the Barbara Hepworth Museum and Sculpture Garden, where you can admire her striking sculptures, and the historic Leach Pottery, the birthplace of British studio pottery. However, there are many more galleries to be discovered as the town is a haven for artists.
Further afield, you'll find many famous sites and towns to explore including St Michael's Mount, Penzance, Sennen, Lands End and Mousehole.
