Family-friendly holiday rentals in Porthleven

Absolutely love Caroline’s Lodge. We’ve stayed several times and love it more every time. Breakfast in the sun with the alpacas, evening in the hot tub and cozy lounge for relaxing. Beds are super comfortable, linen and duvets top quality. Home made scones on arrival are an absolute treat! If you’re considering booking, do. You’ll be glad you did! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

The house was amazing,ample space for 2 families getting together-never seen such a massive tv in our lives so watching a film was like being in a cinema! Kitchen fully equipped and lots of kitchen towels provided which we had forgotten to bring! Bathrooms and toilets were spotless and lots of loo roll provided too (a bug bear of mine when you only have 1 for your entire stay so have to make a mad dash to a shop as your first outing)! Location wise it was perfect,sea views,plenty of parking,short walk to the train station 3 mins away from st Ives,games provided (tho we are in to monopoly at the Mo and brought our own for some epic games nights)! Tesco a short drive away too which was handy if needed! All in all a fantastic stay-both hosts were super responsive too and should we have had any issues im sure would have been able to help quickly!

We had a lovely stay in one of the glamping tents over the Easter weekend. The accommodation is located very close to great beaches and is the perfect spot to visit explore Cornwall. Stephen and Amanda were great throughout our stay, providing effective communication and always being on hand to provide extra logs/coal for the fire. The tent had everything we needed for a short getaway and the hot tub was brilliant. Our kids, aged 6 and 3 loved it. We would definitely return again in the future.

Amazing view from the house. Rooms were spacious, especially kitchen area. Great location for families 5 or more people. Quick drive to the A30 (if you can fit through the bridge). Hot tub, with scones and Prosecco was an added bonus! Had a few minor issues, which Jeremy helped to rectify where he could. Definitely stay again!

Our first air b&b experience as a family of 4 (2 kids age 7&10) and it has definitely set a high standard! We arrived to Cornwall on the wettest day - not what we imagined! But as soon as we stepped in the cottage it felt like a holiday straight away. We headed to the shop (10 second walk) for logs and fired up the log burner, found everything we needed in the kitchen to cook dinner and had a board game and movie night! We were blessed with sunshine for the rest of the stay so headed to beaches for surf lessons and horseriding - the cottage is such a great location and close to plenty of gorgeous beaches. We found a play park behind the cottage near the village hall which the girls enjoyed very much. The cottage is tastefully decorated, plenty of clothes storage for a short stay and the beds are so comfy!! Hot tub is a great addition - we would have loved to have stayed longer to enjoy this more as we only had time to get in once. We will definitely return in future.

The stay at Damson Cottage was an extremely relaxing experience. We really loved ending our Cornwall trip here! We both loved how it was decorated, the surroundings and the overall vibe of the place! Would definitely recommend

We stayed at jennys just after getting married and it was a lovely time the whole area is beautiful and being allowed to roam her beautiful gardens was an added bonus

This was our second visit to Tygwella and it was as enjoyable as our first. The house has an elevated position next to the coastal path which makes it ideal for walks in either direction and the views are stunning. The house is well equipped and had everything that we needed and is nicely furnished, and also spotlessly clean. David, the host was really helpful with arrangements before our visit and always responded very quickly. Many thanks.

We had a wonderful Easter stay at Karen’s peaceful Falmouth Airbnb with our pets. The location is tranquil and welcoming—our cats settled in faster than ever, and our dog loved meeting the animals on the property. The facilities were spotless and matched the photos perfectly. We especially enjoyed the fresh farm eggs, including a seasonal goose egg treat. Karen was exceptionally responsive and proactive, providing detailed directions when Google Maps fell short. With wildlife views, a well-equipped kitchen, and grocery stores just a 10-minute drive away, this place truly felt like home. We can’t wait to return with our pets!

Had a lovely time at Belinda’s cottage . The area was fantastic, located near walks, pubs , beaches and fantastic scenery, couldn’t have asked for more. Belinda was a great host , helpful advise and around if you needed anything . Thankyou very much .

Robyn’s Sunshine cottage was the cosiest cottage , beautiful inside with stunning surroundings . The log burner was so cosy at night . We had a wonderful bank holiday in Porthleven and will 100% be returning ! Robyn was great with communication and let us know the place was ready early had we already arrived ! Thank you so much

Sharon was a great host and the barn was just as we expected. It is nicely and newly decorated and well equipped with attractive furnishings. Sharon was easy going and helpful with information about the locality. We had a bit of a blip with the shower, but Sharon was helpful and there to assist. We were lucky to be there whilst the wisteria was at its most magnificent and waking to so much bird song was a delight :)

Wonderful cottage , bigger and more beautiful than expected with 100s of small touches that set this place apart . Lovely host and a very special home . Thank you x

As a family of 8 & 3 generations celebrating Christmas & a special birthday, the farmhouse was simply magical. Will & Danni went above all our expectations with Christmas trees & selection boxes for the kids. The farm looked so beautiful with all the fairy lights & we found everything we needed to cook Christmas dinner for 12! Thank you so much for a simply amazing stay which allowed us to celebrate our first Christmas in six years as a family. We couldn’t recommend you highly enough & hope to be back in the future.

Very enjoyable stay at Roy’s loft. Ideal location with St Ives centre less than 10 minutes down the hill yet away from the crazy St Ives holiday traffic. Roy is a very friendly and helpful host.

This is the 3rd time we’ve stayed here and equally as happy every time, cute little annex, with everything you could need. Location is fantastic, close to beautiful beaches and a bus stop just down the road with regular buses to st Ives and surrounding areas.

A fantastic place to stay beautiful property, spotlessly clean and brilliant amenities. Everyone was super friendly and helpful with any queries. Location is perfect for the beautiful beach and village. Our family had the most amazing holiday and highly recommend a stay at Bassets Acre.

Matt and Chloe were really great hosts. Really warm welcome, there was a hamper waiting for us with some essentials and treats, after a long drive that was very appreciated. Communication was great, always quick to respond. Had some minor issues, as all trips do, but Matt was on hand to try and resolve them right away. Just a note for people booking that the washer/dryer are communal and outside the cottage. Great location to travel around Cornwall

The lodge was in a beautiful setting, perfect for families, a lovely safe environment. The accommodation itself was extremely spacious and spotlessly clean, the bathrooms were lovely, with towels and toiletries included. Upstairs was particularly spacious with amazing views. The hosts kindly provided us with initial provisions, like tea and coffee. It’s a great base to explore the surrounding area, and a lovely space to return to. I would definitely recommend this beautiful holiday home, and would return with my family.

Very comfortable stay, had everything we needed and more. We loved the walk to Maenporth beach as did our dogs and easy to walk into Falmouth. Shame we did not have longer to try the facilities on site! Shelley great at communicating, checking we had everything we needed. 5 stars!!!

Lovely apartment. Perfect location for exploring Newquay on foot and for local attractions. Apartment is large and the beds were comfy. Kitchen was equipped with everything we needed. Bonus little swimming pool in the complex, which our little kids loved. Thanks, Marcus!

We’re so glad we chose to stay at Halula Beach House for my hen do weekend, it was the perfect pad! Pool, hot tub, silent disco, huge table we could all sit round… and just a few minutes walk to the gorgeous beach. Would highly recommend it!

Amazing location, few mins walk to Fistral beach. Immaculate flat, everything you need with the added bonus of the pool and beautiful sea views. Kirsten was a great host, accommodating and super friendly. Can't wait to come back! x

We had a lovely stay at Poolside. The location was great to see lots of places in Cornwall. The pool was a great addition, and being able to book it for an hour private per day use was ideal. The bottle of Prosecco and fresh milk in the fridge was a nice touch. The sofa wasn’t the comfiest, and the towels were quite small, but overall an amazing stay and would highly recommend to anyone wanting to visit Cornwall/have a relaxing getaway.
