Cottage holiday rentals in Penryn

We spent 3 nights staying at the Mowhay. It was the perfect mix of peaceful hideaway whilst being well connected to major roads and local amenities. The accommodation was well laid out with a very well equipped kitchen. Claire was great at communicating from booking to check out and we met Geoff a couple of times during our stay who was super friendly. Would thoroughly recommend!

John and Jane were super friendly and helpful throughout our stay. Made us all feel very much at home, also leaving us alone to enjoy their cottage. Always on hand for a chat or for anything we needed to borrow ie beach towels and beach rug, thank you both for being such lovely hosts, making our stay so much more enjoyable. Hot tub was very relaxing and a wonderful end of day time for the driver. Cottage itself was very lovely from the minute we entered, very tasteful and everything, if not more than I expected, so peaceful and beautiful. Keep going just as you are, just beautiful. Love you both. Jacqui 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 had a lovely week staying at Calcite Cabin. The cabin is comfortable, peaceful and private with everything we needed. We loved sitting in the hot tub listening to the birds singing and our dog loved the enclosed garden. We enjoyed having the watersports centre on site where we used our paddleboard and hired one of the centre's kayaks. We also joined one of the swimming sessions, had a nice lunch in the cafe and watched tiny goslings on the lake. The site wardens were really friendly and helpful. We had beautiful weather so visited local beaches (Kynance Cove and Porthleven are stunning), Lizard Point and had Mexican food at Chimichangas. We also had day trips to the Eden Project and St Ives. We'd highly recommend Calcite Cabin to anyone looking for a peaceful, dog friendly holiday or those who like to be on the water. There's some heathland adjacent to the centre where dogs can be walked on the lead, and down the road is a nature reserve where dogs can go off lead.

A really homely cottage. Perfect for a few days getaway. Unfortunately it rained on our break so ended up stuck inside. It would have been nice to have sat outside more! Overall it has what it says on the tin. Don't go here if you are expecting all mod cons and a pristine home. It's just somewhere cosy to get away from it all, with friendly owners and lots of privacy.

Tracy was very responsive and helpful. You immediately felt like she really cares that her guests have every comfort and feel welcome. The clotted cream and scones on arrival were a lovely touch that we really appreciated. The cottage was spotlessly clean and had everything you can possibly need. The area was perfect for us and easy to get to all the places we wanted to visit us St Ives, Falmouth to name just two. Our only regret was that it was only a 3 night stay this time but we will be sure to return for longer next time.

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!

Had a lovely stay in the hideaway at Tregoose Old Mill. It’s in a peaceful, remote location down a small country lane but easy to access Newquay and surrounding areas with a car. The sauna and hot tub are great additions to a lovely spacious cottage with what feels like your own private gardens. Cookies and eggs from the roaming chickens provided by Dean were a lovely touch!

We had the most wonderful stay at Tallulah Cottage. It is the perfect pad for a Cornish getaway. The cottage itself has a well-equipped and spacious kitchen, a relaxing living area, cosy mezzanine bedroom and squeaky-clean bathroom. Outside there is a small garden area opposite the cottage but admittedly there is a road between this and the cottage and we did notice some cars/vans driving up it very quickly so had to be careful with letting our pooch wander. Susie was extremely friendly and I’d definitely recommend this accommodation for anyone wanting to explore far SW Cornwall.

We loved our stay and can't wait to come back! The surroundings and wildlife were beautiful. It was the perfect spot to relax and we had everything we could need for our short stay. Highly recommend gathering around the fire pit to watch the sun set across the treetops! We were sad we couldn't stay longer - but hoping to come back next year for our wedding celebrations! A huge thanks to Chris and the team for being so helpful, friendly and kind!

The postcode took us straight to the door - trust it. The house is quite spacious and very comfortable. The welcome pack was handy but apart from that there was nothing, no sugar for coffee on arrival which would be nice. We would have liked local recommendations for restaurants etc. but found the Carn Brae Castle Restaurant which we highly recommended for the view and quirkiness.

We stayed in the cottage for 5 days. The garden was like a small, beautiful paradise, someone has very green fingers. The tub and views were amazing. Inside the cottage was exceptionally clean, with all the amenities you would ever need, of a high quality. Great comfy bed too. Excellent location for exploration. Very friendly and homely pub 1 min walk away. Good parking. Why are you reading the reviews? Book now, it’s fantastic! Thank you Ashley.

Beautiful cottage that has everything you might need, close to pubs and restaurants, in an absolutely breathtaking location

What a lovely cottage in a great location. Everything you could need was here with the addition of treats left by the owner Michelle to welcome us. Very comfy bed and practical wet room. Nearby the Miners Arms 2 or 3 minute walk away was an added bonus for drinks and food. We can highly recommend this characterful cottage and its owner Michelle. Thanks again Andy and Kate

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 such a lovely stay here. Perfect place for a couple to explore St Ives and further afield in Cornwall. Close to the leisure centre car park which made parking easy and less than 10 min walk downhill into the centre of the town (though was a little tiring going back up the hill!) The house was immaculate and very homely, perfect to cosy up in on the couple of rainy days we had and close to the beaches to enjoy the sunshine when it came out. Would be quite tight for more than two people, but was perfect for us. Always have a lovely time in St Ives and would definitely stay here again on our next visit!

Outstanding location, 10 min to friendly st mawes, you can take the foot ferry across, great ferryman btw. Brilliant weather our week so sunny , visited cellar beach , a short walk from the cottage to the side of place manor, great for swimming, paddle board ect or watching the boats sail by. Cottage very private indeed , a space to completely relax and switch off , set in a walled garden , a little sun trap, orchard , no traffic noise, just the friendly birds , in all perfect. We look forward to booking again soon , can’t wait to come back . Thankyou John

Thank you Suzy & Ollie for such a wonderful stay! Brook Cottage really is beautiful, from the decor inside to the relaxing atmosphere outside. So central for hitting loads of Cornwall’s gems, but still felt so peaceful & tucked away! Great hosts & very responsive, can really tell they care a lot about you enjoying your stay. Thanks again!

Just returned after staying 4 nights at the smithy & we had a lovely time whilst there. Kassie is an amazing host & always on hand to help with any enquiries or with local knowledge. The smithy is idealic & has everything that you need for a few days away, Kassie also made an amazing lemon drizzle cake upon our arrival which didn’t last very long! We would definitely stay here again when visiting Cornwall, loved every minute of it.

What a find, St Gluvias St is an ideal cottage to explore Cornwall. The cottage itself is full of character, comfortable and with a lovely garden full of tropical plants. Parking is just a short walk round the corner and reasonable at £15.90 for the week. Spaces are always available. Simon is an excellent host quick to respond and even stocking the fridge with some welcome provisions. Try The Thirsty Scholar at the top of town for good food and a decent pint of cask ale. Highly recommended, thank you Simon. Chris, Melanie and Chester

Fabulous cottage, full of character, with a nice garden, off-street parking, and dog-friendly too. We had a great stay and were very comfortable and at home. Loved all the special features including the stained glass windows, special bath and classy pictures. And we completed 4 more days of the South West Coast Path, without any rain!

The Pigsty was ideal for attending a conference in Falmouth, Richard was really helpful.

Beautifully decorated little cottage, stunningly clean and so well equipped. Very zen environment. Cute little village and was delighted to discover a dreamy coastal hike walkable from right out of the door. (Find the start of the path on Church Hill.) Thank you Franny for a smooth experience.

We were so looking forward to going to Cornwall after our sons A Levels has finished as we hadn’t visited the area for many years. When we arrive it was simple to get to our beautiful cottage which was amazing and as described in the listing. We were also greeted in the kitchen with a freshly made cake and locally produced coffee which were welcome after a long drive. The cottage was well equipped and beautifully decorated and furnished. The bedrooms were a good size and plenty of room for everyone. The cottage and farm are ideally situated for travelling around Cornwall but you feel in the middle of the countryside because of the location. Really nice touch is that you can collect your own eggs during your stay which is great for kids. A great stay and we will be back. James and his family were very friendly and extremely helpful during our stay
