Cottage holiday rentals in Porthtowan

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!

A great place to stay,very quiet village,friendly host. Perfect spot for exploring Cornwall. Thank you Shaun we will definitely be back .

Lovely cottage in a stunning location. Excellent hosting, nice welcome treat (thanks!). The kitchen had everything we needed for our stay, we catered in and didn't eat out at all. The lounge is comfortable but sadly the weather was far too warm to justify lighting the log burner! Wifi was great, we streamed a film one evening without issue. The location is incredible, loads of walks directly from the door, including up to castle ruins just at the top of the hill. To be able to stomp up the hill to the prehistoric stones and watch the sun set over the sea, then stroll back down at dusk to sit in the hot tub and watch the stars come out, was truly magical.

Wow! What an incredible 6 days we had staying at Nicola’s place. It was for my partners 21st birthday and Nicola put up banners and balloons which was lovely of her. We both had the best time, it was both of our first time in Cornwall and we explored so much in the time we was there. Boscastle is an amazing place to stay as St Ives was just over an hour away, Marazion was an hour away, Newquay just under an hour. Even the local beaches and exploring Boscastle was so much fun. It really was a great location, the views, the sunsets/ sunrises everything truly was amazing and we will 100% be back in the future. Thank you so much for having us and as I say we thoroughly enjoyed our first time in Cornwall.

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.

Lovely place. Views are amazing. All the amenities that you could need. Hot tub was perfect with stunning views. Definitely will be coming back again in future

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

What a wonderful place, everything was perfect and the views were gorgeous. We were a party of 6 with dogs and had more than enough space. Great enclosed garden. Lovely and clean with everything we needed. Would highly recommend and will no doubt return.

We had a lovely stay at Gardeners Cottage which was clean, warm and cosy. A very comfortable bed with fresh linen and towels. Set in very peaceful surroundings and my grandson loved visiting the chickens. The cottage contained everything that was needed for a comfortable stay including dishwasher and washing machine. We didn’t have the best weather during our stay so it was lovely to come back to the cottage which was warm and cosy to relax in. Being Dog friendly was the icing on the cake A lovely time was had by all

A truly lovely stay. The place has been beautifully and thoughtfully renovated, keeping all the character of the building while adding all the modern comforts you’d need. Martin and Gila were fantastic hosts—friendly, welcoming, and always there if needed. Their passion for the area and the building itself really shone through, sharing old photos and bits of its history, which made the stay even more special. A perfect getaway, and without a doubt, my first port of call next time I’m in Cornwall.

You cannot find a more beautiful and peaceful location for a few days rest within nature. Their homestead is so quiet apart from bird song. The cottage is very calm and comfortable with a beautiful log fire in the cooler evenings. The private garden and terrace you have has wonderful views and is ideal for eating alfresco plus a very roomy private car park. Bed is super comfortable with lovely high quality linen. I would not hesitate to stay again and the cheeky gorgeous Truffle Cockerpoo owners dog is very friendly and welcoming.

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!

We had a great stay here in the village of Sticker. It is on the main bus route from St Austell to Truro, so was very easy to get to from the train station (which is next to the bus station). Steve & Sue were very welcoming and helpful, and the cottage had everything we needed for our 12 day stay. There is a pub and a village shop/post office a short walk away, so very convenient. We hired a car and found it very easy to get about as we were so central. It was lovely to come back after a day’s sightseeing to the peace and quiet of our cosy cottage (and sit in the garden when the weather permitted!). We would not hesitate to recommend Steve’s cottage!

A very peaceful, cosy place to stay with so many beautiful things to see and visit in the area. Ailsa was a fantastic host and welcomed us as soon as we arrived. She answered my messages quickly and was always ready to help us. Lovely touches on arrival were a vase of flowers from Ailsa's garden and a bottle of Prosecco. We had a wonderful time.

Great place for a 2 night break from the rain! Annette was really responsive and helpful! Would definitely recommend!

The cottage was even better than we expected. Sue would respond to messages within minutes and was there to greet us. Sue is super helpful and friendly. The cottage was bigger than we expected. It really felt home from home. Sue was great with our boy and nothing was too much trouble. The cottage is a short stroll into the town centre with lots to do and places to eat. Porthleven is a great place.

Lovely cosy cottage with all you need. Comfy bed. Well situated for St Agnes and the beach.

We spent a wonderful week at the Old Post Office in Gwithian. Located just a 10-minute walk from the beach trough the sand dunes, it was perfect for enjoying a morning swim in the sea, a surf session, or simply a stroll along the shore with coffee and cake from one of the nearby beach cafés. The area of Gwithian is very peaceful, which made for a truly relaxing stay. The apartment provided everything we could have wished for—a coffee maker, an amazing stove and oven for home cooking, tasteful and practical interior design and even a hot outdoor shower for rinsing off after a surf. On rainy days we appreciated the comfortable sofas in the warm cottage and on sunny days we enjoyed our morning coffee or afternoon tea on the terrace that gets sun from early morning until the evening. Just a short walk across the road, there’s a local pub that serves the most delicious fish and chips we’ve ever had. We wholeheartedly recommend James & Jodie's Old Post Office—what a gem!

Lovely cottage in a peaceful area. Very clean with everything and more for a family. Games room has table tennis, darts, toys and games, also more toys and board games in the chests in the bedroom. Our 2 year old grandson was well provided for. Including buckets and spades for the beach. Blackout blind provided was well appreciated for his sleep. Suzy communicated very well and set up the travel cot etc. Lovely touch was the welcome pack milk, wine, fudge and biscuits. Easy walk down to the train station, bus stop or down to the beach. Very steep walk back up but good exercise! No hesitation in recommended this cottage. Thank you for making it so welcoming.

Lovely stay in Fraser and Melissa’s cottage. A great place to relax after a day exploring local beaches. Cosy, clean and all the amenities required.

We booked Nicky's place for 3 of our contractors who were very happy with the accommodation: *Excellent with very friendly and helpful hosts, well equipped and comfortable with plenty of parking. *I thought it ok thanks you the shower and the room was really good thank you. *Lovely holiday cottages, plenty of parking, the owner was very helpful, the cottage was very homely and well kitted out. Ideal for a family break.

Wow, what an absolutely beautiful place to spend a week away from it all! Lower Nance is a picture perfect cottage in a fantastic little village location. We spent a week exploring Cornwall and it was a perfect home base. We were excited to get home from each adventure and spend more time in the house! Each room is thoughtfully furnished, with something beautiful everywhere you look. The property and amenities are exactly as described and squeaky clean. The garden was equally, gloriously charming, with views of the rolling hills nearby, and roses and poppies in full bloom. Adam was super quick to respond to messages and we were able to check-in early with no fuss at all. Thank you!

Lovely super clean thatched cottage. Great location with lovely surroundings. Perfect spot for a break in the country.

Perfect accommodation, great private location. Kathryn went above and beyond with some lovely welcome treats which were greatly appreciated.
