Family-friendly holiday rentals in Penzance

We have just had the best week at Bowjey Hill. Adam was very friendly and showed us around the property when we arrived and made lots of local recommendations which helped us plan for the week. We visited a lot of the recommendations and they did not disappoint. The property is beautiful and spacious and there was nothing more we could have asked for. The kitchen has all the cook books you can imagine, along with with all the equipment needed. So we had some evenings in the property cooking and playing games which were found in the cupboard. The house is decorated beautifully and feels like a home away from home. The garden is a great space for the family, unfortunately we didn’t use the pizza oven but the area in the garden was amazing. The beds were very comfortable. Adam brought coal for the bbq and said he’d bring any wood etc around if needed for the fire. Loved our stay and would recommend the host and property. Once parked up we just walked, got the bus or train. Very easy.

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.

We have just got back from an amazing weekend staying in this amazing house with the most beautiful views. Liz was such an amazing host she really went above and beyond to help plan our weekend with lots of recommendations. Would definitely recommend as such a beautiful house and perfect location. 🏝️☀️

A real gem with the most amazing views of the ocean which never becomes boring, after long walks on the beach the hot tub is a real treat as well. Was so nice to arrive to a cream tea all laid out for us as well. As this is one of our most favourite areas in Cornwall we will be back if not this property then the sister property that is in the same road.

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!

Fantastic location, a beautiful view to wake up to each morning. Beach/cafes/bakery a short walk away. Perfectly located for visiting the wider area on both the north and south coasts. Cottage well appointed for a comfortable stay.

Jane’s cottage was a cosy , comfortable, peaceful getaway!& home from home for us. The location was perfect for walkers , or a car journey out to other attractions, plenty to do. A perfect retreat at a time in our life when it was so needed. Thank you to Michele & Duncan who are so friendly,kind, helpful & responsive if required. We enjoyed sitting in their cottage garden at the end of a long day of beautiful walks along the SW coastal path. We enjoyed butterflies in the garden sitting on us & a very friendly cat who would greet us after our days out! ❤️Sennen beach was beautiful & our weather was gorgeous! so lucky.☺️We will definitely return & recommend this to our friends & family.

The accommodation was clean and compact. The perfect size for me holidaying alone. It was the perfect location for coastal walking on The Lizard peninsula which was my reason for coming to the area. Sadly the weather the last two days of my week was not kind to me!

This was our second stay at Sharon's barn and we will definitely come back again. It's in a great location, has all the bits and pieces you need for a week's holiday and is incredibly comfortable. the bed is very comfy and we slept soundly, waking ready for a walk to the beach for a swim.

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.

Wonderful cottage , bigger and more beautiful than expected with 100s of small touches that set this place apart . Lovely host and a very special home . Thank you x

We are so glad we chose Marion’s “place”. The location was fabulous for our trip to see an old friend at the lizard but also to visit st Micheal’s mount , Penzance plus amazing and local beaches . The local beach cove was gorgeous with free NT parking . The garden is stunning and the privacy of the rental unit is brilliant . If weather permits eating or relaxing outside is a delight . It’s like your own tiny enclosed garden . The bed is large with great linen and the kitchen very well equipped . It’s often annoying if an Airbnb doesn’t have a decent knife or pair or scissors or just enough plates for 2 but this certainly isn’t the case here . Quality saucepans too . It’s excellent . Wi fi was really quick and I could get easy phone reception . We certainly will return here when we next visit our friends . Thank you Marion -and happy birthday !

fantastic spot and a lovely studio cottage. 30 mins easy walk to St Ives sea front. surrounded by public footpaths and countryside. a great stay in a clean Airbnb. thank you.

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 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.

Stunning apartment, spacious and modern . Very clean. Welcome pack provided and toiletries. Beautiful views across the bay. 5 min walk down to the sea. 10 mins back ( uphill ! ) Lovely balcony to have a glass of wine. Peaceful location. Would thoroughly recommend.

Great apartment, very clean and spacious. Everything you need is there and it’s really close to the town centre and all of the beaches. This is the second time we have stayed and we will hopefully return in 2023.

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

I would recommend Fistral cottage, it was larger than the pictures seemed to show, and it had character and charm. The kids loved having access to a pool and hottub, we were lucky enough to have these to ourselves mostly, but we picked a time where it wasn’t peak holiday or very busy. The cottage was in a great location for a short drive to beaches and restaurants. I recommend the Italian down the road, zucchini 😉

Just want to say a massive thankyou again! We had a lovely time staying at Blue View and the flat had everything we needed. It was very clean, well equipped & the views are to die for!! The pool was heated so I was able to take my 4 month old son in there who loved it! Kirsten & Ben are very friendly and even had the flat ready for us a couple of hours before the usual check in time :D we will definitely be back next year! X
