The Experience
The surf crashes against the rocks, seabirds wheel overhead and cattle low in the fields – you’re a mile along the cliff path from all the bustle of town. Escape down a lane off the St Ives to Zennor road and find this granite cottage in a small hamlet looking out to sea, backed by some of West Cornwall’s highest hills.
Calming, French-accented interiors feel elegant but the kids will be in their element – the old smuggling tunnel encased in glass under the kitchen floor will fire little imaginations, and a slide and swings wait in the garden. It’s all about getting outdoors and running wild here, with walks aplenty from the doorstep.
Head along to glorious Porthminster beach, gallery hop in St Ives and dip into its buzzing restaurant scene, or if the weather is foul just hunker down around the cottage’s wood-burner and enjoy the views.

We loved this cottage! It’s on a beautiful spot with sea views and you can walk to St.Ives on a spectacular coast path (much better than driving by car). In the kitchen is an old smuggler’s hiding place. They restored the house very beautiful!

Thank you Natalia, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay in your cottage. It was the perfect place for our visit to Cornwall and we could walk into the beautiful town of St Ives and enjoy the coastal scenery.

My husband and I spent 8 days at this fabulous cottage in May 2023, and leave with many happy memories of our time here and in Cornwall. While we had many wonderful meals at restaurants, our best meals were at the cottage (and its well-appointed kitchen) followed by watching spectacular sunsets over the sea from our windows. Natalia's recommendations were excellent, and she was the perfect host, including providing us with a welcome basket of local eggs, bread and milk for our first breakfast. Baragwainaith is a magical place, and we are so grateful that we got to spend time there.

Location
The neighbourhood
It’s tempting to stay super local and soak up the beauty on your doorstep here, but you’ll want to walk the mile to St Ives and its famous galleries, with the Tate, Barbara Hepworth’s studio, and countless smaller places to discover. Find your favourite from the selection of family-friendly beaches locally – Porthminster, Porthmeor and Porthgwidden – catering for everyone from surfers to the bucket-and-spade brigade. Or walk the coastal path in the other direction towards wilder Zennor, where you can refuel with good food and drink at the Tinner’s Arms or the famous Gurnard’s Head.
Local points of interest from Natalia Byng
- A few minutes drive or a stunning 25 minute walk and you will be at some of the best beaches in Europe. Porthminster Beach is great for families with a lovely wide sandy beach and a seasonal lifeguard. Watch out for seagulls trying to grab your ice cream
- Porthmeor Beach is famous for its waves and is a great haunt for surfers and surf schools. The Harbour offers lovely boat trips and a small beach. Porthgwidden beach is smaller, sheltered and good for families.
- Explore St Ives with its many galleries including the world famous Tate and Barbara Hepworth and many restaurants and shops. Visit one of the many spectacular National Trust properties within an hour or so by car, bus or train, or zip to Land's End.
- Cross over to Marazion to marvel at St Michael’s Mount and walk the Giant’s causeway. Catch a play at the stunning Minack Theatre. Pop to the Eden Project.
- Walk along the coastal path from right outside the back gate and head for Zennor. Have a lovely meal at The Tinner's Arms, and visit the church which houses a bench depicting the Mermaid of Zennor. Eat a Moomaid ice cream and grab a Cornish cream tea.
- Take the spectacular coastal train ride from Lelant to St Ives. It’s definitely one not to miss. Get your kids on a pottery class at Leach Pottery.Get your culinary taste buds going with a trip to Gunnards Head (Zennor) or the Hasletown Inn (5 mins away)

Introducing
Natalia Byng
Natalia, her partner and children live in London, so you’ll be left alone at Baragwainaith. They initially drove 300 miles overnight with two small children in tow to view the cottage - their retreat from the city - and weren’t disappointed when they arrived. Natalia understands what makes a great family holiday and enjoys adding the special touches that make the house feel like home for other families, too.
Lovely place, perfectly equipped in a beautiful location. Coastal walks direct from the house and much to do in the local area. Lovely walk in to St Ives and fantastic restaurants nearby. Host was a pleasure to deal with and welcome basket was welcome! Had a wonderful, relaxing, eight day stay.
