Home in Phillack
4.91 out of 5 average rating, 188 reviewsSea Shore Beach House at Hayle Towans, St Ives Bay
This is a great place to stay if you’re looking for a base close to the beach and central to all the wonderful places in this area of Cornwall. We are regular visitors to the area and this is a house we would return to, for sure. Richard is a great host and the house is comfortable - a home from home stay. It’s well set up for dogs and returning from a beach day. Thank you for a fabulous holiday.
Condo in St Ives
4.9 out of 5 average rating, 233 reviewsSt Ives | Sea Views| 300m to beach | Dog Friendly
Nothing quite beats drifting away to sleep listening to the sound of the waves - a sweet little haven this place is!! Only 5 mins from the train station and 10 mins walk into St Ives town centre it was in the perfect location and the sea views were a bonus! Becky and Alex were fantastic hosts who always responded promptly and were happy to provide local recommendations and help whenever needed. I highly recommend staying at the little haven and would be back again in a heartbeat :)

Bungalow in Cornwall
4.98 out of 5 average rating, 131 reviewsQuiet cosy detached annexe close to the beach
I had such a lovely stay here with my dog. It was clean, cosy and warm with everything we needed. A 10/15 minute walk to Swanpool Beach and from there another 15 minutes to Falmouth along a beautiful coastal path. The bus to Falmouth stopped just across the road from the house and it cost just £2 to get into town. I’d definitely stay here again, highly recommended. Hub Box in town was a great place to eat with stunning harbour views and upstairs at The Chintz bar was the most glorious boho experience. Also great live music at The Moth and the Moon.

Bungalow in Cornwall
4.9 out of 5 average rating, 40 reviewsComfortable bungalow near Widemouth beach
We had a fantastic week, accommodation is as describe. Clean, comfortable and we were not disturbed by neighbouring properties at all. Our only advice would be download movies etc before arriving as we did find the WiFi very patchy. The swimming pool on site was lovely and changing rooms spotless. Staff were so helpful. Food in the restaurant was also really good. You can easily walk to the beach via the back gate however you wouldn’t want to carry lots of stuff. We took the car when heading down for the whole day. Paddle boarding was impossible due to the wind, but we found out we could take it into the sea pool at Bude. The beach by the accommodation is lovely for walking, swimming, bodyboarding, rock pooling. Small play areas on site for kids were good and we also played Tennis. We felt this site had recently been taken over and having lots of improvements made. We truly were so happy with the bungalow and will definitely be returning.

Condo in Maenporth
4.96 out of 5 average rating, 53 reviewsAmazing Ocean Views with Heated Pool, Tennis & Spa
We had a thoroughly enjoyable stay. The instructions provided to get there were great and collecting the key was very easy. The kitchen was very well appointed and had everything we needed including coffee machine and a great selection of cutlery/table wear etc! The appliances were modern and easy to use. The guide book was sent online and there was also a physical copy with great recommendations for days out and places to eat. The apartment was very clean with nice furniture. It was great that we had use of the pool, sauna and jacuzzi, along with the pickleball/tennis etc, these helped to entertain our 10 year old son! The beach is a very short walk away and absolutely beautiful with kayak and paddle board hire. Thanks for a great stay 😄
Cabin in Cornwall
4.96 out of 5 average rating, 54 reviewsLuxury Lakeview Lodge Par Sands
We have just returned from a fantastic week at Ray and Carolyn’s lodge, it didn’t disappoint in any way. We were 4 adults and 2 children and the lodge was a really good size with all the expected amenities plus the special touches in particular Carolyn’s delicious scones to have cream teas on arrival. What really makes this lodge stand out is the perfect location overlooking the lake and close to the beach. For a holiday park in peak season it was wonderfully peaceful. My father in law particularly enjoyed bird watching from the veranda! For us the only thing missing was a BBQ but the kitchen is very well equipped and there are some nice local pubs and restaurants so it wasn’t too much of a problem. Thanks to Ray and Carolyn for being lovely hosts!

4.98 out of 5 average rating, 422 reviewsCrows Nest. Harbour-front. With private parking.
Pleasure to communicate with Laura from start to finish. Very easy check in with a warm welcome. Milk, wine and biscuits were a lovely touch and much appreciated. The Crows Nest was cosy, super clean with a great layout - especially having 2 teenagers. Everything was thought of with super comfy beds. Garage is v. close by but we found parking on street (out of season). Location is spot on! Do try the Boathouse Inn nearby; great value, superb food and very cool atmosphere. We’d love to return. Thanks for a super stay Laura.

We had a wonderful stay at Enys View, the flat is spotlessly clean, and has everything you would need, the cream tea on arrival was really thoughtful and welcomed after a long drive! We had great weather during our stay and the view of the harbour was lovely ☺️ really comfy bed and sofas to relax on at the end of the day. Angela and Chris were great hosts, welcomed us and left us to our weekend but were on hand if we needed anything. We are looking forward to returning again next year!

Cottage in Newlyn
4.96 out of 5 average rating, 217 reviewsFisherman’s cottage, sea views, balcony, parking
We had a wonderful stay in Nadine’s property. She was very helpful right from the initial booking. We arrived to find the property exactly as described. It was immaculately clean, tastefully furnished and equipped with everything necessary for a comfortable stay. The balcony is great with a fabulous view over the harbour and over to St Michael’s Mount. It was very quiet even though only 5 minutes walk from the centre. Newlyn has a great selection of shops and pubs and the gallery is definitely worth a visit. Easy walk to Penzance along the front and Mousehole in the other direction, although there is a bus between the two every 20 minutes. So much to do and explore within 30 minutes drive we ran out of time and definitely need to come back.
