Pet-friendly holiday rentals in Porthleven

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 borrowed buckets and spades (and trucks and diggers) from the collection in the shed and took the short walk down to the lovely sandy beach most days. My granddaughter had heaps of fun playing in the shallow pools and golden sand in the sun. There were bodyboards too, but she's a little little for that just yet. Nanny was usually to be found observing us from the comfort of the Cove Cafe and admiring the wonderful vista - St Ives Bay in the sunshine (which is also the view from the house itself). The bravest of us swam in the chilly sea and returned invigorated, eyes sparkling. Suki charged about with energy and enthusiasm, greeting every other dog on the beach. We highly recommend this place. Notes: It's a flat beach, so the sea is very close a high tide and a long way off at low tide. Eating out in Cornwall is expensive. The house has a well-equipped kitchen and there is a Lidl and M&S Food Hall nearby if you are minded to eat in. The train St Erth<->St Ives is a nice option.

We had a lovely weekend in Kathleen’s beautiful home. The house was well equipped with everything we needed and more. We appreciated all of the additional touches for my baby niece- she loved the books and bath toys! The best part of the house is the stunning views of the coast and St Michael’s Mount- it’s worth staying for alone. Thanks for a lovely stay 🙂

Probably the nicest place we have ever stayed! Deserves more than 5 stars. The location couldn't be better to get straight out to lots of beaches, bars etc. St Ives streets are small and traffic is restricted 930am to 4pm on the street but outside these times we found it easy to unload then booked a parking space 10 mins walk away on JustPark. The view has to be seen, it's even better than it looks... when people stop at the balcony for a picture you know it's the perfect spot - and we helped take a couple of pictures for them from above! The best thing was having a nice glass of wine on the armchairs with the windows open and listening to the waves and watching the change in tides. Spa bathroom was unreal as was everything really. Already looking at dates to come back! We also enjoyed Johns Wine Bar, The Host (had great live music), Mor Beach Cafe for morning rolls and James King for beautiful St Ives jewellery. Thanks again David we loved it all!

We had a perfect stay at the Little Barn. The photos just don’t do the accommodation justice! Everything was perfect. The views, the comfiest bed, beautiful bath, the outdoor space - it was all lovely. Jon & Vic were great hosts and super helpful. We managed to see a lot of Cornwall in our four days and found the barn was well located for trips to Padstow, Mawgan Porth, Carbis Bay & St Ives, Port Isaac and Fowey. The recommendations book in the Barn gave us lots of ideas for restaurants, pubs and bakeries. Thank you for a lovely stay - we would love to return!

A historic stone row home, with a light filled living room addition, and private and sunny outdoor area. Steep walk down to the last unit, which is slippery when wet. There is a leafy wooded pathway down to the Petersville Inn, with another spur towards the beach which accesses a cliff trail.

We loved our stay in this beautiful house. Great facilities, will be perfect for a longer stay as all the amenities were provided. I wish we stayed for a week but we visited only for one night unfortunately. Would love to be back again! Thank you Joe

An amazing find with a beautiful view of the sea, even from bed! Was super relaxing waking up with that view! We did wear sleep masks as it can get super bright but worth it for the views 🥰🥰 Everything we needed was available, and although no garden for doggos, there is plenty of areas for them to go out along the road, and near coastal path! Bed was SUPER comfy and the shower was amazing! Melinda was super helpful if we had a question and was so kind!

Great place to stay and was clean and tidy! Responsive and friendly host who helped with recommendations!

We really enjoyed staying here as a group of five adults and 1 toddler. Plenty of room for us all and having 2 bathrooms was really great. The cabin is comfy and cosy, with beautiful views of the Cornish countryside. We used the cabin as a base to explore Cornwall as it is located centrally within easy reach of many popular towns. We loved coming back to the cabin in the evening and using the hot tub and waking up to the very friendly alpacas! You do have to drive up a very narrow and steep lane to reach the cabin but we were lucky that the lane is very quiet and so we never met any oncoming traffic. We would absolutely recommend and would love to return one day.

We cannot recommend this place enough, by far the best Air BnB that we have stayed at. A perfect balance of feeling right at home but also having independent space to relax, our only question is when can we come back!? This place is absolutely perfect for a couple and dog friendly doesn't do it justice! Attention to detail was fantastic and Nicola and family are the perfect hosts. Nothing was too much trouble and we were spoilt for choice with local recommendations and sights to see which were well within travelling distance. We were torn between exploring Cornwall and wanting to stay put in the beautiful grounds. Thank you so much!

Isolde cottage was a cracking find made the perfect base for us to explore Cornwall. The cottage itself is quaint, rustic and very private - having use of the private pool was a massive plus! The bed was comfy and we both slept well. Melissa and David were very friendly and their hospitality second to none; my partner and I will be recommending this place to others and would definitely stay again

Oh Wow! Adorable! Such a peaceful, tastefully decorated, cosy and well equipped haven in the woodlands. Literally so easy to get to and fabulously placed for St Ives, Mousehole, The Minack Theatre, Lands End, St Michael’s Mount…. The list is endless. Tina is such a warm and responsive host too. Not only was Butterfly Rest itself beautifully inviting but Tina also, made us feel so welcome through her communications with us. We actually didn’t even eat out…. It was just so nice after our busy days, to come home and prepare food to enjoy at leisure, especially with the view of the squirrels visiting to see if we had popped any nuts or sunflower seeds out for them (seeds provided by Tina)… so cute ❤️ Thank You Tina, your thoughtful decoration and equipping of Butterfly Rest made it a fabulous stay for us! ❤️

Beautiful cottage in a lovely location, the place was very clean & specious with everything all ready for us when we arrived. Me and my friends really enjoyed our stay and would definitely recommend this to anyone. Thank you x

The nicest static caravan we’ve ever stayed in! The place was immaculate, our hosts were great on messaging and left us a very helpful book which made everything so easy, even with two boys. The park was really quiet even though it was full, the boys loved the park and the pub was perfect for a quiet pint in the evening. The value for money was unreal, the absolute perfect base for exploring any part of Cornwall

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

Lovely little place, big enough for two people and a dog…very cosy. Had everything we required. Not too far from Porthleven, where there are shops, pubs and restaurants, overlooking a beautiful harbour. Would definitely recommend as a base for exploring the south west coast.

First time "glamping" and visiting Cornwall for me. Absolutely loved it, Claire was really kind and accomodating. The pod was just as advertised, very clean and cozy. Great location, close to everything but still far from crowds. Greatly recommend it.

What a gem! The upper beach house is a fantastic find with the most wonderful scenic view to look out to. The house is spacious, homely and full of all the amenities to feel home from home. The outdoor terrace is a wonderful spot to relax and enjoy the view of the beach. With just a one minute walk to the beach and costal path, the location was perfect. Gareth was a great host, responsive and clear instructions. A brilliant stay!!

Miner's rest is perfectly located for exploring the area. Lots to do (walking coast path, beaches, mines, pubs, gardens etc). The accommodation is perfect for a couple (plus a dog!) and Abi was very helpful and communicated well. Plentiful local buses helped get me around. I hope to return asap. Highly recommended.

Extremely well equipped, welcoming, super clean, plenty of instructions and information about the house and area. Comfortable beds, tastefully decorated, super garden, plenty of parking, great hot tub, acres of storage, what wasn’t to like!

Peaceful place with a superb hot tub. Highly recommended

The place is situated in a wonderful location where it is surrounded by farms. If you are planning for a retreat, this is the right place. But if you are scared about being alone in a quiet and private place, don't go for it. But the hosts make atmost all the necessary arrangements to make sure we don't feel alone, the other houses are not too far and also not too close, they are evenly spaced. The Hot water tub facility they provided was amazing and it was one of the best experience.

We had a lovely stay at Rusty! It was super peaceful and private. The space was lovely, super clean and had everything you would need. We loved the indoor fire and outdoor firepit especially. It was in a great location with beautiful beaches nearby and a good distance to other parts of Cornwall. Sally was a responsive host and gave us lots of information and recommendations at check in. Would definitely recommend staying here!
