Cottage holiday rentals in Isles of Scilly

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 .

Clare’s place is beautiful, and surrounded by acres of fields. No one on top of you, just peace and quiet. The bungalow is clean and tidy and Clare had baked some gorgeous cakes and left lots of goodies in the fridge for us. It was great having a dishwasher too. Highly recommended. And 100% pre book restaurants as they get busy.

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.

The loveliest cottage and the nicest hosts 💗 if you’re looking for a homely and warm airbnb, this is a perfect choice. Vince and Becky are amazing, recommended a lot of great places to us and made sure we felt well looked after and welcome!

Had a lovely stay here, the view was beautiful and some nice walking routes to explore nearby :)

We loved our stay at bumblebee cottage. It was beautiful, clean and had everything we needed for our stay. Loved the attention to detail and was very thankful for the welcome pack. The hot tub is private and a great size for relaxing. Tracy our host was very communicative, friendly and at hand for any questions. We will definitely be returning. Our children loved it that much they asked if we could move in.

Thanks Kate and Simon, I know our stay was short but you made us very welcome and were sure to stay in touch before, during and after our stay. We also appreciated you leaving us some little essential food items and a surprise bottle of fizz! A very cosy stay.

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

What a lovely cottage. Michelle and her husband are just amazing hosts. The area is quiet and in a walking distance of the beach with some breathtaking views. If you are looking for a peaceful place to disconnect from the daily routine this is the place.

The cottage was both cosy and comfortable, just what was needed for our weekend break. The wood burning stove was an added bonus and made the cottage feel warm and snug on a very wet day. Both St Ives and The Minack Theatre were within easy reach. The cottage was very clean, with a good sized kitchen and sitting room. Lovely views from the back bedroom. The beds were very comfortable

Lovely cottage in a peaceful location and a short drive from great beaches. We especially liked the nearby community farm shop for food and drink and we did some great local hikes including along the coast path, which runs very nearby. Cottage very clean and comfortable; we had everything we needed and communication from Holly and Anne was fantastic.

An absolutely beautiful cottage in an idyllic location. The cottage was well appointed and had everything we needed. A cosy bedroom with a clever hidden kitchen. The bathroom was much larger than we expected and the shower was excellent. The star of the show is undoubtedly the outside space - the garden is a private and peaceful area, well laid out and adorned with pretty wildflowers. The outside copper bath is large and luxurious, a relaxing spot to watch the sunset (and cows!). We’d definitely recommend the cottage to anyone. Beautiful inside and out.

We simply loved the cozy cottage up the hill with the wonderful view. We stayed for 5 nights and would have stayed longer if possible. The sea shore is only a short walk (~10 mins) away. From there, the beautiful coastal path takes you either south to the beaches and Land's End or north to Cape Cornwall and St. Just. The cottage is perfectly located for both fantastic hikes and serene time at home. Just one thing, I wouldn't advise to come by large vehicle. We had no other choice than going up with our van, and got numerous scratches because of the narrow road and the wild vegetation on basically every side of it (right, left, above). I'd always come back to this wonderful place, but in a small car. :)

What a special place. We stayed for 10 days and booked both cottages as our family were meeting up and we needed the extra space. It was perfect for us and well equipped for self catering on the nights we didn’t go out. If really is only 10 mins walk through a beautiful bit of woodland along a path to the coastal path and sea, and then walkable to Helford or Maenporth with coves you can swim in along the way. For me and my dog that’s perfect! Ailsa was very friendly and accommodating and very quick to respond to messages. I highly recommend as a coastal Cornish base and hope to return.

Absolutely loved my stay at Jayce and Hannah’s cottage. I booked it for a week on my own: and it felt like a home away from home. Tucked away at the most cosy courtyard, the only thing you hear are birds, the wind and horses. The cottage was perfect: extremely clean (it smelled lovely!), fully equipped (washing machine 🤝), and a very comfortable bed. When you peek out the bedroom window you get a glimpse of the Atlantic ocean 🩷. I did mostly hikes at the south west coast path and it’s a perfect get away. Within proper walking distance of the local Tesco and St Ives (also a beautiful little walk in itself). Public transport works great and nearby. Appreciated the rapid communication a lot and are already looking forward to come back and bring loved ones to share this gem of a place. Thank you so much to Jayce and Hannah, this place really did me well☺️.

Lovely place in a lovely location.

My wife & I along with our 3 month old baby spent a week at William's cottage. William is an attentive host, providing clear instructions and assisting with any questions we had in a punctual manner. We primarily used the cottage as a base to explore the area each day and it was a perfect place to come home to. The cottage has been renovated to a high standard with modern fittings. We noted how quiet and cozy the cottage is in the evenings. Porthleven is a small town and the cottage is a 5 minute walk from the harbour. Kota Kai is definitely a recommended restaurant as family friendly and excellent food.

This is a lovely countryside location which is walking distance from the beach . It’s tastefully furnished, spotlessly clean, spacious and everything I needed. Rachel was quick to reply when we needed to be flexible with the dates and also welcoming when we arrived .

Both our stays at The Bobbin were great! Warm and cosy in winter, light and airy in the spring. The location is perfect. Just a short walk to the beaches, harbour and restaurants. Despite being on a busy shopping street, it is still peaceful in the evenings. We’ve found The Bobbin to be well kept and it has everything you’d need. From pots and pans to cook up a feast, to pre signed in Netflix/Amazon accounts, and everything in between. It’s a good value place to stay and would happily stay again

Lovely house in a gorgeous location. Everything was as described and the property made our holiday special (helped also by the sunshine)! Many thanks.

Lovely place, short walk to beach, opposite a brilliant interesting museum and a really nice big kitchen and clean spotless rooms. The lawn out the front is great for the kids. James and Julia are super responsive and friendly

We had the loveliest time at this cottage! The environment was peaceful and charming, and everything was so easy and seamless. The place was beautifully furnished and spotlessly clean. Thank you again Rebecca for being so welcoming and making our stay truly wonderful!

we thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Periwinkle. peaceful and relaxing. Just what we needed. The accommodation was first class and had everything we could need. 👌
