Family-friendly holiday rentals in Falmouth

We had a lovely 2 night stay at Caroline’s place! We loved the freshly baked scones, clotted cream and jam on arrival. Check in was super easy as the key was just left in the door. Our little boy Myles loved watching the alpacas too! Overall very pleasant and refreshing stay I would recommend!

A beautiful glamping experience that exceeded our expectations. We had our three small children with us that absolutely loved it! They loved seeing the chilckens and ducks on site. Buttercup accommodation had everything we needed and we will definitely recommend it to others.

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.

Beautiful traditional Cornish cottage located within a very peaceful village but only 10mins drive from loads of beautiful beaches. Added benefit of a hot tub which unfortunately we didn’t get to use with a 2 year old in tow! Would highly recommend.

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.

Jenny was fab about us arriving later than expected and we got a lovely welcome when we did eventually arrive. The lodge is lovely and had everything we needed. The gardens are absolutely out of this world, every part you walk around is better than the bit before!! Very friendly, genuinely nice hosts and we couldn’t have asked for more from them. As it was our first time in Cornwall they were really helpful with ideas of where to visit and places to eat/go for a drink. Sonny (the dog) was a massive added bonus too! Brilliant few days away, it was very much needed! Thank you both again :)

What a wonderful find. We met at Tygwella for a family holiday, some of us coming from Australia and some from Manchester. The house was ideal. It was spacious so we could occupy different “wings” with our own bathrooms and come together for meals, chat and play. The house was very generously supplied with basic provisions, kitchen and laundry equipment. We wanted for nothing. Having two ovens was great for cooking adult and children’s meals. The location was so peaceful with great views and easy access to the coast path and beach.

This place was such a great find! We’ve just got back from the most perfect week away. We originally only booked for 4 nights but we extended our stay as we were having such a wonderful time. The place is just lovely with everything you need for a relaxing stay. We loved our welcoming gifts too. Kate and Simon are brilliant hosts and were extremely easy to contact. St Agnes is a beautiful location with some superb coastal walks. There’s also plenty of places to go out for food and drink. The beach is stunning also. I would 100% recommend this place to anyone who is considering it (just book it!). Thanks again for a brilliant stay Kate and Simon!

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 had a wonderful stay in Porthtowan. The house was fully equipped for self catering, the beds were comfy and the garden was a good size with amazing views. It was a good base to travel around the area, would definitely recommend.

What a fantastic holiday we had staying in the beautifully renovated school house. Gila and Martin were the best hosts and welcomed us personally on arrival and even provided bacon and eggs for breakfast! The property was absolutely perfect for us both and our two dogs who were also made to feel right at home. The location was stunning with easy access to so many great places to visit including the local pub. Our hosts' local knowledge proved very useful for the best routes and destinations that we otherwise would have missed. We can't recommend the property, hosts and area enough and we're already planning to go back as soon as we can!

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at Julia and Lian’s beautiful cottage! From the moment we arrived, we felt completely at home. The cottage is full of character and charm, set in a stunning rural location that offered us the perfect escape from city life. The cottage itself was spotless, comfortable, and thoughtfully furnished with everything we needed. Julia and Lian were exceptional hosts—approachable, friendly, and always happy to help when we had questions or needed anything. Their kindness and hospitality made our stay even more memorable. A special highlight for our children was the presence of farm animals nearby—they were absolutely delighted and spent hours watching and interacting with them. It added such a fun and unique experience to our stay. We highly recommend this lovely cottage to anyone looking for a peaceful retreat with charm, comfort, and genuinely welcoming hosts. We would love to return! Thanks, Saurabh

We stayed at Blackbird Studio for five nights and really enjoyed it as our base to explore Cornwall. While the weather wasn’t the best, the house made our stay memorable. The views are really stunning and you have your own little English garden. St Ives and various dog friendly beaches can be reached within a couple of minutes. The house was even more spacious than expected and equipped with everything you need. Lorna made sure we arrived safely and was always on hand. As mentioned in the description, the driveway is very (very!) narrow, but we managed to get through for unpacking/packing and parked in the little carveout by the road on the other days, which was completely fine.

Exactly as described a perfect slice of reclusive heaven! Wish the weather was slightly better but hey that's the UK. Amazing, the small personal touches such as the scones were lovely! The dogs loved being in the garden next to the sea- I have never seen so many zoomies! The WiFi really is intermittent but why would you need it, when your view and surroundings are so wonderful!

Sue was really helpful and friendly and walked us through the important details of Merrilee which was a good sized 2 bedroom property with all the amenities you would expect

We had a lovely stay! The house was beautiful and just as described and the host was very responsive. We stayed in February and the local shops and pubs (within comfortable walking distance) were shut which was a shame, but it was a close drive to beautiful beaches and a nice pub. All in all a wonderful stay!

Other guests were a let down, but Emma was great at sorting it for everybody else. Great place overall. Will be returning

My family of four recently stayed at Pamela’s place in Portreath and we had a blissful week in paradise! Everything about the week was great - Pamela and her family are so lovely and friendly and it truly felt like a home away from home. I booked this place especially for the amenities of the pool and hot tub and my kids (11 and 8) loved it! It was so nice to have an uncrowded swimming pool to relax at! The apartment was clean and cozy and was a great base for our week of adventures. It was nice to be able to walk 5 minutes for a morning pastry and coffee from the local bakery. It is clear from its immaculate and beautiful nature that Bassett Acre is a source of pride for Pamela and her family and they were perhaps the most gracious and friendly hosts of any place my family has stayed. We are already planning another stay next summer!

Great place, we felt very comfortable.

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!

We loved Shell Cottage- so homely and everything was of a very high standard and spotlessly clean. Excellent location for Falmouth, gorgeous beaches and beautiful walks. Would highly recommend.

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.

As described, good central location within walking distance of the town. Well presented and good amenities.

We had a wonderful stay in the apartment. It was bright and spacious for our party of 4 adults and 2 young children. The pool was brilliant and really added to our stay. Having 2 rooms which were en suite and a third separate toilet/shower room was very convenient. We were sad to leave and would love to return in the future.
