Pet-friendly vacation rentals in Porthleven

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.

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 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 🙂

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!

Absolutely loved our stay at Dans place, anything we needed him and Gary were super responsive and helpful! Would highly recommend!

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!

Barbara's house is wonderful. It has a stunning view over Mawgan Porth beach and you can walk down to the beach via the dunes. Sitting on the balcony in the evening enjoying the view is a treat! The house itself is lovely - compact but it has everything you need. Barbara is a very responsive and helpful host. I would very happily stay again!

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

We had a lovely time staying at Tina's place. It was exceptionally clean and very homely. It was the perfect place to stay and we just loved our peaceful walks with the dogs in the forest right behind. Tina was easy to get hold of and left not only us some treats but the sweetest care package for our 2 dogs. We would definitely stay at Tina's again.

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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.

A perfect perfect hideaway with everything you need. Had to leave a day earlier than planned but my time spent there was sooooo worth it 🤗 10/10 Great hosts too 👍👍

Had a very enjoyable stay. Accommodation had everything we needed, was cosy and looked forward to coming home each evening. It was well located for all the local attractions. Will absolutely visit again if in the area.

Excellent stay peaceful and tranquil Excellent host very private will definitely book to stay again

OUTSTANDING. Probably one of the best Airbnb’s we have ever stayed in. Beautifully decorated, great views and perfect for the dogs. Will be back for sure!
