Welcome to The Milking Parlour, a beautifully converted, eco-friendly barn nestled in the tranquil Parish of Towednack, just two miles from the vibrant town of St Ives. This charming retreat comfortably accommodates up to six guests, featuring two inviting bedrooms and a cleverly designed hideaway bed in the lounge that folds down into a cosy double. With two separate bathrooms, the space is well-suited for families and couples alike.

The spacious living area is warm and welcoming, with infrared ceiling panels providing extra heat if needed. However, the Yes heart of the room is the stunning log burner—perfect for curling up with a book, sharing stories from the day’s adventures, or simply unwinding by the fire.

Step outside and immerse yourself in the enchanting landscapes of nearby Zennor, where remnants of the Bronze Age whisper tales of the past. Follow the dramatic coastal paths, taking in breathtaking ocean views while spotting local wildlife and native plants. If you prefer a more relaxing day, the golden sandy beaches nearby provide the perfect setting for sunbathing, paddling, or enjoying a seaside stroll.

For keen hikers, the legendary 18-mile Tinners’ Trail from St Ives to Cape Cornwall offers an unforgettable journey through Cornwall’s rich mining heritage and rugged countryside. The area is also exceptionally dog-friendly, with many pubs, restaurants, and shops welcoming four-legged friends. While most beaches allow dogs, some have seasonal restrictions, so be sure to check ahead. To fully embrace the magic of St Ives, take the park and ride from St Erth or hop on a local bus—letting you enjoy the scenery stress-free. After a day of adventure, return to the peace of The Milking Parlour, rustle up a delicious meal in the well-equipped kitchen, and once the little ones are in bed, step outside to witness the spectacular night skies.
