The Mowhay (work from home with WiFi)
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!

“Slow Life” Cottage and Hot Tub in idyllic village
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!

Stunning views, stillness, sumptuous tubs - relax!
We had the most wonderful time.The location of the property is great for exploring and the setting so peaceful! The pictures perhaps did not do it full justice as it was even better!being in a bath over looking the countryside was next level! Clare was very clear on the whole process of how to get to the property,check in,ideas for places to visit and things to do.The personalised written message and goodies are special touches that mean a lot so thank you!cannot praise everything about our stay enough!we hope to be back!X

Ultra Luxury schoolhouse w. hot tub & harbour view
Our stay in Fowey was nothing short of magical, and this Airbnb made it even more special. The location is fantastic -yes, it’s partway up a hill, but the stroll into town is short, scenic, and lined with the most charming restaurants and harborfont bars. Fowey itself is absolutely adorable. The converted schoolhouse is truly one-of-a-kind. The hosts did an amazing job preserving the original charm while creating a modern, inviting space that’s perfect for entertaining. And the hot tub overlooking the harbor? Unreal. I probably spent half the trip soaking in it. There were even thoughtful touches like umbrellas to borrow, which came in handy in classic English weather. We did experience a minor issue with noise from neighbors in an adjoining unit, but the host was incredibly responsive and professional. They made it clear they cared and took swift action to make sure we were comfortable.

Unique, light and beautifully cosy cottage
This was our third stay at Nancy's House. Here are some of the things that drew us back: snug but spacious house that feels loved and lived in, peacefully tucked into a farm where interesting things always seem to be happening, and just a few steps from exhilarating open spaces; lovely hosts. Oh, and the hot-tub is very nice!

The Hobbit Hole Dogs Welcome! Fast WiFi. Hot Tub
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.

Hosta House at Tor View Cottage Holidays
Lovely place. Views are amazing. All the amenities that you could need. Hot tub was perfect with stunning views. Definitely will be coming back again in future

Cosy Cornish Cottage with Secret Garden & Hot Tub
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.

Rural Tranquil Cornish Cottage
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.

Gardeners Cottage - Trenoweth Estate
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

Viaduct Cottage - the cosiest bolthole in the SW!
Perfect little cottage located off a quiet street. Shop, chippy and Asda really close and also free parking within a short walk. Very accurate description and the place contained everything you would need. Dave and Kel were great hosts and check in and check out were smooth. Will hopefully return next time I visit Cornwall.

Stylish Stableyard, parking & sea views
Lovely little cottage that felt very homey. Nic was easy to get a hold of, had great recommendations and left some great little touches in the cottage. Well equipped kitchen and great coffee supplies! Very walkable to the town and was very peaceful. Would definitely recommend it!

Boutique Cottage, near the harbour, dogs welcome
Fabulous find! Beautiful Cornish home that is spotlessly clean, welcoming, easy to find, and located in the historic heart of Mousehole. I’ve travelled many places and am an Air BnB super host myself, and StarHaze is one of the best homes I’ve found. A real gem. Jayne has thought of the small details that make travelling easier — crisp linens, plush cotton towels and towel warmer, a footstool by the easy chair, washer & dryer. Even two electric fans to help clear out the damp air after arriving. I felt immediately welcome. Location is one block from the harbor, and dinner and cheese platter at the Old Coastguard Hotel were both excellent. There are 2 more restaurants right by StarHaze that I would have liked to try. I walked the coastal path, hopped on the bus to Marazion, and just enjoyed every minute. Thank you!

The Old Dairy, “a unique, romantic retreat”
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.

Rural barn near beach and town
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.

Luxury Cottage for 2 with sea views & parking
Jago's Loft is genuinely luxurious: spacious, with elegant decor which aptly fits its maritime setting. Beds and sofas are just so comfortable, and the kitchen is equipped with everything you'd never thought of to help you live easily and conveniently. There is a small sunny patio outside the French doors for outdoor living. Alison was readily helpful while rigorously leaving us our privacy. The cottage looks on to a small shared space with lovely garden borders and a long view through to the harbour and the lines of picturesque cottages across the estuary in Falmouth. The 2 mins walk to the out-of-this-world village shop just 2 mins walk away gave us opportunity to commune with the family of 6 small cygnets who frequent the harbour with their parents. We are not drivers, but trains go all the way into Falmouth and the local bus service is excellent for a rural community.

Shellseekers, Cosy cottage in the heart of St Ives
This small cottage was perfect for us. It is close to everything and parking just round the corner at Stennack car park. The Cornish Deli, just round the corner is great for breakfast as is the yellow canary - great coffee! Can definitely recommend this property. The host was responsive when we had a small issue with the key safe (user error!). Lovely gift pack, which we thoroughly enjoyed. Thank you.

Homely Cottage w/ Sun Terrace, Short Walk to Beach
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.

Charming three-storey fishermans cottage
Es war ein wunderschöner Aufenthalt in Mousehole! Die Beschreibung der Unterkunft und die Tipps für die Restaurants sowie für die Unternehmungen waren perfekt. Rebecca war immer erreichbar und konnte hilfreiche Lösungen anbieten. Mousehole ist ein Ort zum Verlieben! Allerdings ist der Parkraum knapp. Aber mit ein wenig Kreativität findet sich immer eine passende Lösung. Vielen Dank, dass wir dort sein durften.

Cosy Smithy in the countryside
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.

Romantic and peaceful retreat near the beach
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 .

The Piggery-Old granite barn, Sea views.
Logement très confortable, à proximité des points d'intérêt des Cornouailles. Hôte rencontrée une fois et très agréable.

Luxury St Ives 3 bedroom beach cottage Balgwidden
We absolutely loved our stay in this beautiful home. Kam is an amazing host - such prompt, clear and helpful communications. The home itself is a work of art! Supremely clever and elegant design, amazing decor and everything is so elegant and comfortable - beds, sofas, fantastic clean linen and wonderful hot showers. Brilliant well-equipped kitchen, lovely dining area, and such a kind and generous welcome kit - all the delicious food and tea and a really helpful array of household items too. And the downstairs area was fantastic for going swimming and coming back again to have a shower and wash clothes. Also the sea views from the main bedroom and living room are just mesmerising. Loved sitting there reading and watching the changing sky and the waves surging onto the sand. It's truly the perfect St Ives accommodation - right in the centre, close to all the restaurants, galleries, beaches, and yet also really peaceful. Can't wait to return - with all our thanks for a wonderful stay!

Fisherman’s cottage, sea views, balcony, parking
We had a lovely week in Nadine's cottage with everything we needed. Beautifully decorated and we enjoyed sitting on the balcony with the great view. Good location for enjoying the area with plenty to do and see. We would definitely recommend and hopefully will be able to come again
