Family-friendly vacation rentals in Carbis Bay

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!

What an amazing place, amazing hosts and an amazing time we had. Jeremy and Lucy were wonderful. I cannot recommend highly enough. This holiday was a last holiday for Dad and it was touch and go whether we would make it. Jeremy helped so much and even moved a bedroom downstairs for Dad. When we arrived with 3 dogs in the party, Lucy had a stake in the ground and a long horse lead sorted in a matter of minutes. The house is wonderful. Lots of space for the 3 family groups, beds really comfy and having a big main bathroom and 2 ensuites was so helpful. We spent a lot of time at the property and the views were out of this world. Evenings were spent in the hot tub and chilling out on the veranda with a glass of wine and a fire. Our son and girlfriend even has their own space in the shepherd's hut. Far enough away for privacy, but close enough to share meals. Jeremy had even laid a new floor. Thank you thank you thank you. We will be back!

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.

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.

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.

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!

Fiona was a fantastic host, loads of info and very friendly. the house is perfect for a family stay and we loved the cream teas left for us. there is tea and coffee and lots of other handy bits. cupboards full of everything could need like pots pans cling film tuppawear... the main bed was very comfy and cot bed provided. the jacuzzi was great but we unfortunately didn't use the pool as we were too busy seeing the sights. the garden is amazing and we felt very at home. We really loved our stay and we would definitely come back and recommend it to our friends and family.

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.

Lovely property perfectly located close to all the beaches, shops, pubs & restaurants. This cottage is well equipped with quality fittings throughout. Clean & comfortable accommodation with arty décor. Really enjoyed our stay and looking forward to returning soon. Thankyou.

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.

It was close to the beach, but it was nice that it was quiet. There were a lot of stairs in the house, so it was a little difficult to go up and down with luggage, but there were 2 bathrooms and it was clean, so it was a satisfying trip! Thanks to you, it was a fun 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

What a find, was looking for somewhere to stay while attending a wedding and this apartment is amazing. After a long journey from Cambs, we found this lovely place has everything you need, great host, free parking, restaurants within a few minutes, cafe below you…yet a feeling of privacy within the apartment. We felt totally at home here, such a clean, tidy, comfortable and homely place, great neighbours and locals who are also very welcoming. We would recommend The Unicorn pub and Blue Bar for food and drink and friendliness, and for the morning the Beach Cafe below the apartments, great quality good value food. The beach is literally below you along with amazing walks, we experienced picture-postcard sunsets each night, couldn’t have asked for more. Mike the host is very professional and helpful, responding quickly to our questions and giving advice like a true local of the place! 10/10 on everything we experienced. Go see for yourself!

Dana and Paul have put a lot of thought into catering for their guests . Quality clean towels, tea towels , plenty of toilet paper. Everything you need for a peaceful retreat .

We simply loved the cozy cottage up the hill with the wonderful view. We stayed for 5 nights and would have stayed longer if possible. The sea shore is only a short walk (~10 mins) away. From there, the beautiful coastal path takes you either south to the beaches and Land's End or north to Cape Cornwall and St. Just. The cottage is perfectly located for both fantastic hikes and serene time at home. Just one thing, I wouldn't advise to come by large vehicle. We had no other choice than going up with our van, and got numerous scratches because of the narrow road and the wild vegetation on basically every side of it (right, left, above). I'd always come back to this wonderful place, but in a small car. :)

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!

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!

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.

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.

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
