Family-friendly holiday rentals in St Austell

We really enjoyed staying here as a group of five adults and 1 toddler. Plenty of room for us all and having 2 bathrooms was really great. The cabin is comfy and cosy, with beautiful views of the Cornish countryside. We used the cabin as a base to explore Cornwall as it is located centrally within easy reach of many popular towns. We loved coming back to the cabin in the evening and using the hot tub and waking up to the very friendly alpacas! You do have to drive up a very narrow and steep lane to reach the cabin but we were lucky that the lane is very quiet and so we never met any oncoming traffic. We would absolutely recommend and would love to return one day.

A lovely house in a fantastic location. Peter and Scarlet were extremely easy to deal with and very responsive. The house was clean and tidy with good amenities - especially the hot tub and the pool table. Well worth checking out.

A wonderful peaceful place which felt like a retreat. The owners were friendly and being able to join in with feeding the animals in the morning was great (not just for children). Sauna and hot tub was great. They would check what time we wanted it put on which was considerate. Was a surprise weekend for our mum and was even better than expected. Thank you for the stay x

We loved our stay in this cottage! It has such a cosy homely feel and is equipped with everything you’d need! The bed was super comfy and it was nice to have a tv in both bedrooms and the living space! The hot tub area was gorgeous and a great place to unwind and relax, very private area! Shaun the host was super friendly and very responsive! We couldn’t fault this place - amazing value for money. Would recommend and would love to return in the future!

We loved staying in the shepherd’s hut - we relaxed and enjoyed every moment there Such helpful and friendly hosts

Honestly the photos do not do this place justice its incredible what a view and the host could not have been better extremely helpful, always there at request, respectful, polite all round wonderful person even made us scones to bake and the the towels shaped in to love hearts was a really nice touch they made us feel welcome and right at home would recommend to anyone thank you sheila for a great experience will be visiting again

A wonderful property which was perfect for our little family of 3 plus our dog. A superb location which was peaceful and tucked away from the daily chaos. The property was beautifully decorated and had everything we needed. Sitting in the hot tub taking in the beautiful view was just perfection. Thank you for a wonderful break, I would definitely return and recommend it.

We had such a wonderful time at Mill Pool Lodge despite some grey and wet weather. The beds were comfortable, the house is simply furnished and had what we needed. Jenni had sweetly made a delicious home made cream tea for our arrival. The gardens are absolutely stunning, tones of space to explore, all with different characters, it was wonderful walking round and spending time outside there, the birdsong was incredible and the Merlin bird ID app identified a tone of species. We enjoyed the hot tub too, and had a very relaxing time. We used the place as a base to explore our favourite North Cornwall beaches and towns. They also kindly lent us body boards as we forgot to bring ours! Would absolutely come back, what an incredible and special place, thank you for sharing it with us!!

Thank you Ali for another really lovely stay. The house as always is absolutely spotlessly clean and beautiful bed linen. I cannot wait to come back again xxx

Loved our impromptu stay at the cottage!

We have just returned from a wonderful stay . The house was perfect , everything you needed was there, lovely enclosed garden which was perfect for Harry the dog. Lovely touch of bottle of wine, milk in fridge and treat for Harry. We were welcomed perfectly and instructions given to Kings Head pub which is a short walk with great food and highly recommend. The Luxyulan valley walk is a must easy walk there and lots of walks in the woods which can be made as long or short as you want with gravelled paths. Train ride to Par on local branch line easy and then we walked to Charlestown along coastal path a stunning harbour ( long walk but worth the views) and bus back to Par and then meal in Kings Head to finish off a perfect day. We will def be back. Beautiful friendly village with handy shop too.

This was exactly what we were looking for. An idyllic little gem. Near to coast and places to visit, and local pubs too. the accommodation was perfect, spotlessly clean with everything you need to be self sufficient. such a lovely setting with perfect view. There were lots of ducks, geese wandering around with lovely babies in tow. The pond was lovely. We took our dog and he didn't bother with them at all. Steve and Karen made sure we were comfortable and recommended local amenities. Would recommend this accommodation as extremely comfortable and everything you could possibly need was provided (including a welcome basket of goodies). thank you 👌

This was our second stay at Sharon's barn and we will definitely come back again. It's in a great location, has all the bits and pieces you need for a week's holiday and is incredibly comfortable. the bed is very comfy and we slept soundly, waking ready for a walk to the beach for a swim.

Really great stay at The Heyloft. Was perfect for the 4 of us - very homely feel and excellent location for visiting lot's of beaches and cycling the Camel Trail

Great place to stay and explore the local areas. Well equipped and comfortable. Would recommend!

This was a last-minute break, and worked so well for us. Beautiful location- it was lovely to drink coffee in the morning outside, overlooking the sea. Such a peaceful place, and close to lots of lovely places to visit. Charlotte's information was really comprehensive- lots of recommendations for food etc.

The property matched the description provided, though the photographs give the impression of a larger space. Nevertheless, it perfectly met our requirements. Chris was exceptionally responsive to our inquiries, addressing various questions we had. The area was clean and filled with ample natural light. Our children thoroughly enjoyed the surrounding land for play, as well as the small game room stocked with toys, which was a welcome respite during a particularly rainy and windy day. The on-site washing machine was available for free use, and the washing line proved to be quite useful. Although the outdoor pool was not heated, it did not deter my children from taking a dip and having fun. I would certainly consider staying at this property again.

We stayed for a weekend and it was perfect. A beautiful property in a very quiet and relaxing setting. Hosts provided all of the information we needed. We will certainly return for another visit in future!

Our stay with Stephen was great! Very clean and private space cabin. With a lovely outside area where we sat with some friends. Very quiet and peaceful. Stephen was great and really flexible RE: check-in timings and always had a very quick response to any queries I had before our stay. Would highly recommend.

Out of all of the places we have stayed, this was definitely the most well equipped. There was everything we needed. the facilities and grounds are fantastic. We have a child with autism and a profound learning disability and it was absolutely perfect for us. The outdoor space was great and the swimming facilities are excellent. It is fantastic value for money and great for groups or large family gatherings due to all of the available accommodation. We will definitely be back 😊.

Marcus's place was great for our visit to Cornwall. The apartment was very clean and in a nice building. Within walking distance to lots of restaurants and two beaches. When we got lost during check in Marcus was available over phone and he called us again later to make sure we got in okay. Very friendly!

Milton was extremely helpful. We left a few things behind he couldn’t have been more helpful. Answered every message quickly. We felt really at home in the Lodge. Everything we needed and appreciated the fire as the weather suddenly turned cold. Thank you for all your help. We would love to stay again.

Lovely spacious well appointed apartment in a beautiful historic house with stunning gardens. The games room and pool are a real bonus. Lovely village setting with shop.

This was our family’s second stay at what is our favourite spot at Retallack. The lodge, being right on the water, feels peaceful and secluded, but is only a few minutes’ walk to the pool, restaurant and other amenities. Mel is a great host, always replying quickly, and the lodge has everything we needed for our stay. We’d definitely come back again.
