Beach house holiday rentals in Swanpool

Fantastic host, great property, had everything we needed and more. Quiet, peaceful and walkable to restaurants.

Wow - what an amazing place to stay! This is probably the most memorable AirBnB I have stayed in so far. You are right on the edge of the seafront and by the harbour, with the double aspect living room enabling you to see both - the sea views are just stunning. Margaret was a really friendly and communicative host, and the parking space is good. I would heartily recommend this as a great place to stay; it is just so special being able to look out and see the sea from bed, and to hear the waves lapping at the shore as you go to sleep or make your cup of tea in the morning.

We borrowed buckets and spades (and trucks and diggers) from the collection in the shed and took the short walk down to the lovely sandy beach most days. My granddaughter had heaps of fun playing in the shallow pools and golden sand in the sun. There were bodyboards too, but she's a little little for that just yet. Nanny was usually to be found observing us from the comfort of the Cove Cafe and admiring the wonderful vista - St Ives Bay in the sunshine (which is also the view from the house itself). The bravest of us swam in the chilly sea and returned invigorated, eyes sparkling. Suki charged about with energy and enthusiasm, greeting every other dog on the beach. We highly recommend this place. Notes: It's a flat beach, so the sea is very close a high tide and a long way off at low tide. Eating out in Cornwall is expensive. The house has a well-equipped kitchen and there is a Lidl and M&S Food Hall nearby if you are minded to eat in. The train St Erth<->St Ives is a nice option.

The Balcony Studio was the perfect getaway. It is a beautifully appointed stone cottage with stunning views overlooking the ocean. The cottage is steeped in history and has been beautifully renovated. It is spread over four half levels - you enter a well appointed kitchen, go down to the very large and unique bathroom, up to the bedroom with sitting area, and up again to a small living room and WC. The layout to the bedroom is very clever, with the bed facing the windows, but far enough back to be completely private when the blinds are up and the windows are open. I loved sitting in the chairs overlooking the water. Even with people walking by under the balcony, it feels very private. The location is fabulous - just steps to restaurants, cafes, shops and galleries of St Ives. The walk from the train was maybe 5-6 minutes. I loved my stay and would highly recommend.

As a family of 4 the property was ideal, it had all the amenities required for our 4 day stay. The property is stunning, so tastefully furnished and decorated, it is in a prime location with stunning sea views. Its location is great for strolling into Penzance and a short car journey to local sites, such as the Minack theatre, which is well worth a visit as well as St Ives. We were luckily enough to meet Lenn during our stay, he knows the area well and gave some great suggestions as well as being a great host, we found the property easily and followed Lenn’s instructions to a tee, we would recommend Lenn and Gord’s beautiful property, and was very sad to leave it to come home, a stunning find x

The most beautiful getaway. The views over the meadow to the sea and St Michael’s Mount are incredible any time of the day and we loved spending time on the terrace. Perfect location for walking, sea swims and east to get into town and explore the Cornish coast. The decor is also amazing with so much attention to detail. Will be back!

This is a truly unique and incredible property, perfect for large families or groups. If anything, the beautiful photos in the listing fail to adequately capture just how nice the property and its idyllic waterfront setting are. Joanna’s home is a perfect base for enjoying the southern reaches of Cornwall, or just relaxing in the home itself and drinking in the scenery. Our group particularly enjoyed sitting outdoors alongside the water/coastal inlet, and watching the dramatic tidal shifts. The kids in our group absolutely loved the area: plenty of interesting things to see and do in the tidal flats, and enjoyed brisk swims when the tide was in.

We had a lovely time at Linda’s cottage. Location is great easy walking to the main beach area with all the cafes. St Ives is pretty hilly so definitely earned a sundowner at John’s (head left down the street you can’t miss it). PLEASE take note of Linda’s instructions for drop off The Digey gets very thin we saw multiple cars get stuck at our front door and have to back out. Easier walk back from the car park it via the steps down by the beach. We had a great time both in St Ives and further afield. Very busy this time of year

Coastal path 20 minutes away, close to river Gannel. Which take you straight to Crantock beach where you can swim during low tide. David has everything you can need at his place. They have made it comfortable, cozy and feels like home once you get indoors. Our dog loved it as there was so much outdoor space.

We had the most fantastic big family holiday here! The property easily accommodated 9 adults plus a wee one, with the hot tub and the games room being great bonuses to add to our enjoyment. The whole house was brilliantly equipped with excellent furnishings both inside and out on the patio, had very comfortable beds and the cleaning products and soap etc were very much appreciated. Having the Londis shop so close was very handy and we enjoyed some delicious food at the Jam Jar cafe/pizzeria just down the road. Newquay is just a short car ride away with all the beaches, supermarkets and restaurants you could ever want. There just wasn’t enough time to do everything we would have liked to do…..so we will just have to come back again!! Thank you for an amazing property where we could all gather and enjoy such a memorable holiday.

Family of 5, (4 adults 1 child) stayed may halfterm. Location is great. 5 minutes drive from Porth beach and 10 minutes from Newquay town centre. Caravan was lovely and clean, looked just as the photos shown. Very good price! Would definitely return!

We had an amazing time at the bay talland! Staff was super friendly and the house was more than what we hoped for! The hot tub, pool, plunge pool and sauna was all included in our stay and we loved using them! We would highly recommend staying here for a peaceful escape. Thanks so much.

Alan has provided clear details to reach the location and check in was easier. Place was clean and has all necessary amenities. No issues during our entire stay and we enjoyed the vacation.

lovely little cottage and great value place to stay. We walked into Falmouth and to the beaches during our stay and found the location to be very convenient.

We loved our family stay at William’s place! It was loaded with all the amenities that we needed. The kitchen was very well stocked. The heated pool was a great addition when the ocean was cold. The location was amazing…walk into town or take the Ferry across to Padstow for lots of great shopping and eateries. We would definitely stay there again.

We had a wonderful time at Jenny’s place. The location of the house is lovely, and the balcony really allows you to make the most of the beautiful views. The space itself is very homely, with a good amount of space. We would highly recommend staying with Jenny!

Great little place in an unspoilt fishing village. We loved Mousehole. Pros Felt at home. Super comfy beds, great linen & soft towels. We all slept extremely well. Some beautiful lounge chairs. We loved the leather chair in the lounge. Perfect for a morning coffee and the papers! Peaceful and great views of St Michael’s Mount etc. Cons Not many. Very uncomfortable sofa. Few chipped plates Not related to the house but Mousehole. The parking was very tricky. To the point we were unable to park on 2 occasions and my partner had to park quite far out of the village and walk home in the rain very late at night. It’s something to bear in mind. We wish we just got the local bus or taxis everywhere.

A group of friends and I went to visit Falmouth for a long weekend and had the best time staying at Christopher’s place. It had everything we needed and fit us all comfortably. Everything was easy to locate and had clear instructions and Chris was very helpful when needed. It was a lovely area close to the beaches and train station. Overall a lovely stay!

The accommodation was perfect and beautifully presented, hosts Marie and Jeremy were very welcoming and helpful although the house was so perfect we didn’t need anything, the garden was amazing and totally secure for Dudley our dog, all in all the house far exceeded our expectations, will definitely be booking again. Thank you

Really enjoyed our stay, we felt right at home and it also felt so private. Just what we needed for our break away! Great amenities and the local area was gorgeous, we spent the week doing some gorgeous coastal walks and relaxing! Highly recommend!

We spent 5 days I Falmouth visiting our daughter and stayed at The Lookout. What an amazing place we felt very at home the house was very clean and beautifully presented. The hot tub was amazing and my husband and I and adult children loved it, we had lovely time spending time together as my daughter is at university in falmouth. As an added bonus to our trip our son turned 18 so was the perfect place to celebrate. Thank you Mike for being a welcoming and responsive host, would definitely recommend The Lookout as a perfect stay.

We felt immediately at home at this lovely cottage and wouldn't hesitate to stay again (in fact, I hope we will). It was very comfortable for the three of us - we loved having two shower rooms and such a spacious and characterful sitting-dining space. Ideally located just a five minute walk from the high street full of shops, pubs and food businesses, and also very convenient for the art school campus just eight minutes' walk up the hill. The provision of a car parking space was the icing on the cake.

Great location close to the centre of town. Lovely sea views from reverse living house. Both double bedrooms were as described and lounge & kitchen had everything we needed. Would definitely recommend Falmouth for a long weekend. Only downside was no parking (which we knew before we arrived) but our stay was over a busy bank holiday weekend with a food festival going on, so it was a bit of an issue to find space even in the car parks. However we would definitely consider coming back to the house again.

Simon’s lovely home exceeded our expectations! It was warm, charming and absolutely immaculate. The home itself is a work of art with beautiful, creative, and thoughtful details throughout. We had absolutely everything we needed except more time to stay and enjoy it. We already are looking forward to our return! The town is as charming as can be, and a short walk from Simon’s home. Simon was an exceptional host. Thank you for everything Simon!
