Family-friendly holiday rentals in Porthtowan

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.

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!

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.

We had such a wonderful time at Mill Pool Lodge despite some grey and wet weather. The beds were comfortable, the house is simply furnished and had what we needed. Jenni had sweetly made a delicious home made cream tea for our arrival. The gardens are absolutely stunning, tones of space to explore, all with different characters, it was wonderful walking round and spending time outside there, the birdsong was incredible and the Merlin bird ID app identified a tone of species. We enjoyed the hot tub too, and had a very relaxing time. We used the place as a base to explore our favourite North Cornwall beaches and towns. They also kindly lent us body boards as we forgot to bring ours! Would absolutely come back, what an incredible and special place, thank you for sharing it with us!!

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!

Gemütliches Häuschen im schönen St Agnes. Lage direkt neben mehreren Restaurants. Guter Startpunkt für Spaziergänge und in Laufweite zum Strand. Auch mit dem Bus gut zu erreichen. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt.

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.

Such a peaceful place - surrounded by woods and birdsong. It’s very calming. I loved being so close to animals too; Karen has several in her stables and grounds - a horse, geese and sheep. All of whom only add to the calm and gentle nature of the place. The little house was very comfortable and just perfect for a rest day from walking the South West Coast Path.

absolutely stunning place in the beautiful moorlands. Very private, close to the river and lots of horses, sheep a cows nearby. The garden is huge and the kids(and grownups) loved it. Great facilities, well equipped kitchen. Wendy was most helpful and very quick to respond. We might well make it an annual trip.

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

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.

Martin is an exceptional host. He is generous and kind. The cottage is an absolutely bargain for the price, you won't find anything better. The local beach is beautiful too. My daughter's enjoyed their time with horses, thankyou. We hope to see you again.

A perfect and pretty seaside cottage located in a superb position to enjoy beautiful St Mawes. Tucked up a side street it only takes a couple of minutes to walk to the sea front. We loved the large private decking for sunbathing and how light, bright and airy the cottage was. It felt spacious, quiet and we were able to park so close to the front door the car boot was just 2ft away making everything so easy. We had the best time at Fisherman’s Cottage and will definitely be staying again.

The property matched the description provided, though the photographs give the impression of a larger space. Nevertheless, it perfectly met our requirements. Chris was exceptionally responsive to our inquiries, addressing various questions we had. The area was clean and filled with ample natural light. Our children thoroughly enjoyed the surrounding land for play, as well as the small game room stocked with toys, which was a welcome respite during a particularly rainy and windy day. The on-site washing machine was available for free use, and the washing line proved to be quite useful. Although the outdoor pool was not heated, it did not deter my children from taking a dip and having fun. I would certainly consider staying at this property again.

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!

Tolle Unterkunft, wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt.

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!

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.

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.

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.
