The Mowhay (work from home with WiFi)
My partner and I had a great stay here for a long weekend. The place was so peaceful and quiet but close to amenities. The bed in particular was so comfortable, something I find hard to find at Airbnb’s! Claire and her husband were such lovely hosts and even gave us some free home grown eggs for breakfast. Plus lots of local recommendations. The local is good for seeing both the north and south coast. Easy to get the train too if you don’t fancy driving. 100% would come back and recommend the others too!

“Slow Life” Cottage and Hot Tub in idyllic village
A great place to stay,very quiet village,friendly host. Perfect spot for exploring Cornwall. Thank you Shaun we will definitely be back .

Unique, light and beautifully cosy cottage
This was our third stay at Nancy's House. Here are some of the things that drew us back: snug but spacious house that feels loved and lived in, peacefully tucked into a farm where interesting things always seem to be happening, and just a few steps from exhilarating open spaces; lovely hosts. Oh, and the hot-tub is very nice!

The Hobbit Hole Dogs Welcome! Fast WiFi. Hot Tub
A really homely cottage. Perfect for a few days getaway. Unfortunately it rained on our break so ended up stuck inside. It would have been nice to have sat outside more! Overall it has what it says on the tin. Don't go here if you are expecting all mod cons and a pristine home. It's just somewhere cosy to get away from it all, with friendly owners and lots of privacy.

Cosy Cornish Cottage with Secret Garden & Hot Tub
Our stay was lovely. Tracy’s cottage was absolutely immaculate and inviting Felt warm and comfortable with thoughtful touches like fresh flowers,scones and chocolates 😊 Tracy was a pleasure to communicate with as well. Warm and responsive I could tell she was a warm and kind hearted person right from the get go

St Agnes coastal cottage, hot tub by beach & pubs
This place was such a great find! We’ve just got back from the most perfect week away. We originally only booked for 4 nights but we extended our stay as we were having such a wonderful time. The place is just lovely with everything you need for a relaxing stay. We loved our welcoming gifts too. Kate and Simon are brilliant hosts and were extremely easy to contact. St Agnes is a beautiful location with some superb coastal walks. There’s also plenty of places to go out for food and drink. The beach is stunning also. I would 100% recommend this place to anyone who is considering it (just book it!). Thanks again for a brilliant stay Kate and Simon!

Sennen:Hot Tub, Swimming Pool, Games Rm on SW Path
Fiona was a fantastic host, loads of info and very friendly. the house is perfect for a family stay and we loved the cream teas left for us. there is tea and coffee and lots of other handy bits. cupboards full of everything could need like pots pans cling film tuppawear... the main bed was very comfy and cot bed provided. the jacuzzi was great but we unfortunately didn't use the pool as we were too busy seeing the sights. the garden is amazing and we felt very at home. We really loved our stay and we would definitely come back and recommend it to our friends and family.

The Hideaway & Spa Terrace at Tregoose Old Mill
Had a lovely stay in the hideaway at Tregoose Old Mill. It’s in a peaceful, remote location down a small country lane but easy to access Newquay and surrounding areas with a car. The sauna and hot tub are great additions to a lovely spacious cottage with what feels like your own private gardens. Cookies and eggs from the roaming chickens provided by Dean were a lovely touch!

Two bedroom Cornish cottage. BBQ area,pet friendly
Excellent stay! An easy drive to many of the beautiful and exciting corners of Cornwall. Technically there is a train track nearby, but we could barely hear it, even with the windows open in the bedrooms. A very well outfitted kitchen and spacious lounging area. We also had a B&B breakfast, which we hadn't expected. 10/10 would come back and stay again!

Sunnyside cottage
A really lovely cottage in a great location. The cottage was clean, cosy and well equipped. The garden was absolutely beautiful and fully enclosed for our dog. Very thoughtful provision of dog towels.

The Old Dairy, “a unique, romantic retreat”
An absolutely beautiful cottage in an idyllic location. The cottage was well appointed and had everything we needed. A cosy bedroom with a clever hidden kitchen. The bathroom was much larger than we expected and the shower was excellent. The star of the show is undoubtedly the outside space - the garden is a private and peaceful area, well laid out and adorned with pretty wildflowers. The outside copper bath is large and luxurious, a relaxing spot to watch the sunset (and cows!). We’d definitely recommend the cottage to anyone. Beautiful inside and out.

Wisteria Cottage
Lovely cottage crammed with period features and charm. Fabulous host, really attentive and communicated pro actively. The location made it, you step out of the garden onto the Chappel Valley path which follows the steam, that flows through your garden, down to Chappel Porth Cove which is amazing. If the Cove looks like nothing special then it's high tide, when the tide goes out its miles of golden sand and hidden caves, stunning. Lovely coastal walk to StAgnes which is a lovely place to explore, so many lovely places to eat. The dressed crab at the Tap House is amazing. Arrival was lovely, Laura had left us a locally sourced cream tea, local teas and coffees, fresh flowers, even shampoos for our dog, so thoughtful. We absolutely loved our stay thank you

Secret Garden Cottage: sea views and coastal walks
We had the most lovely stay at Isobel‘s place. The cottage is absolutely gorgeous, peaceful and has beautiful surroundings! The kitchen is incredibly well equipped and we woke up with the nicest sea view every morning! St. Just is a very quaint and cute little village and absolutely worth a visit! We would definitely stay here again whenever we visit Cornwall!

Charlestown Beautiful sea and harbour views.
Such a beautiful find. A wonderful location, lots of lovely places to eat in the harbour. Moments from the beach and short drives to lots of places to explore too. The cottage was so much bigger than we had anticipated. The garden was great for our dog too. Thank you so much! X

River Cottage at Carbis Mill
We have had a lovely week at Riverside Cottage, the cottage is picture perfect , very clean and had everything you could need. Adrian and Lucy were friendly, welcoming and helpful without intruding , they were very understanding of our anxious dog and the private, secluded garden at the garden was perfect, lovely local walks right next to the cottage. A perfect relaxing and restful stay. Will certainly go again.

Peace and Plenty Cottage, Gwynver, near Sennen.
Absolutely stunning! spent a week here and it's the loveliest little spot, small but perfectly sized for 2 and a dog. Absolutely lovely host, left little treats for us on arrival and had recommendations in the area but also not intrusive. The cottage itself is perfect, so homey and had everything we could need. we used the log burner every evening while playing one of the board games provided and it was so cozy and nice. The area is absolutely wonderful, beautiful views, path right down to the beach, and so many lovely walks right of the door, we did the majority of our daily outings as a straight walk from the cottage and watched the sunset from the beach each night. the photos really do not do this place justice, it is truly absolutely stunning and we would LOVE to return !

Stylish Coastal Cottage Walk to Beach & SW Path
Eleanor’s cottage was perfect for our family of four. It is next to the creek and a very short walk to the pub and ferry. The cottage was great, with comfortable beds and everything we needed. We picked up some supplies on our way to the cottage at the supermarket in Helston, but the local shop in Helford was handy too. Parking was on the creek or up in a nearby car park (a 2 minute walk up the hill). We bought a ticket for the week and left the car there except on the days we were venturing further afield. We had such a great holiday and would definitely recommend this beautiful part of Cornwall and Eleanor’s lovely cottage!

Helford Cottage, Lizard Peninsula.
After a slight panic with the lock box (different numbers in email and app) I got in to the most well-equipped, gorgeous little cottage you could hope for.

The Bower, Menifters, Porthallow, Helston
Lovely place. Great location with lots to do within walking distance. The accommodation was really quiet,it was incredibly peaceful. Good for the dog, lots of space outside.

Shearwater - creek side in Port Navas, Helford
Simply stunning location, would’ve quite happily stayed there forever…

A peaceful cottage with spectacular views
Just a very special lovely place, a hidden gem. Everything you need. Kelly is an excellent host and I will return again.

The Apple Loft - perfect for a Cornish escape
We had a really lovely stay at Apple loft, Alison was so friendly and great with communication. She added lots of personal touches, which was greatly appreciated. We brought our 6 month old and there was plenty of space around the bed for a travel cot, and Alison supplied a high chair. Alison sent her recommended places in the local area before we arrived, which was really helpful. We’d definitely recommend to anyone visiting the local area x

Beach & coastal path walks from a super cottage
This was our first proper holiday as a family and we couldn’t choose better. We have felt right at home and it was so peaceful and quiet. We live in quiet place but compared to that it felt like we live in London 😅 the scones were amazing. Great recommendations. Lovely hosts towards us and our crazy boxer who loves people but dogs not so much! We will definitely go back for a bit longer (maybe just the two of us) as it’s very romantic and relaxing place!

Charlestown harbourside cottage with parking
we thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Periwinkle. peaceful and relaxing. Just what we needed. The accommodation was first class and had everything we could need. 👌
