Cottage vacation rentals in Porthtowan

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!

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!

We had a lovely few days here, the cottage is just as cute as it looks in the pictures. You can walk straight out into the surrounding woodlands and over to the nearby cliffs and there are lots of beautiful beaches to visit in the area. Also only half an hours drive to St.Ives. The cottage itself is full of character, beautifully decorated, clean and comfortable. The hot tub is a bonus. It's the perfect place for two newly weds!

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!

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.

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

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.

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.

Thyme Cottage is lovely. The cottage was perfect for our needs and had everything we needed for a comfortable and pleasant stay. The garden is beautiful and the private parking was a bonus. Thyme Cottage is set down some very pretty country lanes and is very peaceful. Despite the peaceful location, Thyme Cottage is close to Falmouth, the beaches and the local nature walks. Craig and Janet were friendly, welcoming and gave us some great recommendations for places to eat. Our family would definitely stay here again and we would recommend this property to anyone looking for a quiet Cornish getaway.

Lovely little cottage in the heart of St Agnes. Very comfortable and has all the mod cons but beautifully restored.

We spent a week in the schoolhouse with great pleasure. It is a majestic space with its own character! Gila and Martin are nice hosts and we had nice contact. If we are in the area, we will definitely come back! From the house you can discover the entire south coast of Cornwall, many beautiful places just a fifteen minutes away.

We had the most lovely stay at Isobel‘s place. The cottage is absolutely gorgeous, peaceful and has beautiful surroundings! The kitchen is incredibly well equipped and we woke up with the nicest sea view every morning! St. Just is a very quaint and cute little village and absolutely worth a visit! We would definitely stay here again whenever we visit Cornwall!

We had a great stay here in the village of Sticker. It is on the main bus route from St Austell to Truro, so was very easy to get to from the train station (which is next to the bus station). Steve & Sue were very welcoming and helpful, and the cottage had everything we needed for our 12 day stay. There is a pub and a village shop/post office a short walk away, so very convenient. We hired a car and found it very easy to get about as we were so central. It was lovely to come back after a day’s sightseeing to the peace and quiet of our cosy cottage (and sit in the garden when the weather permitted!). We would not hesitate to recommend Steve’s cottage!

We have had a lovely week at Riverside Cottage, the cottage is picture perfect , very clean and had everything you could need. Adrian and Lucy were friendly, welcoming and helpful without intruding , they were very understanding of our anxious dog and the private, secluded garden at the garden was perfect, lovely local walks right next to the cottage. A perfect relaxing and restful stay. Will certainly go again.

A very peaceful, cosy place to stay with so many beautiful things to see and visit in the area. Ailsa was a fantastic host and welcomed us as soon as we arrived. She answered my messages quickly and was always ready to help us. Lovely touches on arrival were a vase of flowers from Ailsa's garden and a bottle of Prosecco. We had a wonderful time.

Great place for a 2 night break from the rain! Annette was really responsive and helpful! Would definitely recommend!

Lovely cosy cottage with all you need. Comfy bed. Well situated for St Agnes and the beach.

We had a great stay at Zoë's! Accommodation is even more beautiful in person than in the pictures. Communication with Zoë was very fast and very friendly. As soon as we arrived, Zoë stopped by to welcome us. Good tips in a book and both through the app for the area in terms of pubs and nice towns! The garden also looked super beautiful with cozy birds that came by to eat peanuts that hung on the tree. Our stay was really fantastic and would book it again in a minute!

We spent a wonderful week at the Old Post Office in Gwithian. Located just a 10-minute walk from the beach trough the sand dunes, it was perfect for enjoying a morning swim in the sea, a surf session, or simply a stroll along the shore with coffee and cake from one of the nearby beach cafés. The area of Gwithian is very peaceful, which made for a truly relaxing stay. The apartment provided everything we could have wished for—a coffee maker, an amazing stove and oven for home cooking, tasteful and practical interior design and even a hot outdoor shower for rinsing off after a surf. On rainy days we appreciated the comfortable sofas in the warm cottage and on sunny days we enjoyed our morning coffee or afternoon tea on the terrace that gets sun from early morning until the evening. Just a short walk across the road, there’s a local pub that serves the most delicious fish and chips we’ve ever had. We wholeheartedly recommend James & Jodie's Old Post Office—what a gem!

Lovely stay in Fraser and Melissa’s cottage. A great place to relax after a day exploring local beaches. Cosy, clean and all the amenities required.

Made our holiday memorable. Fantastic views,fantastic location and more importantly, was exactly as advertised!

We booked Nicky's place for 3 of our contractors who were very happy with the accommodation: *Excellent with very friendly and helpful hosts, well equipped and comfortable with plenty of parking. *I thought it ok thanks you the shower and the room was really good thank you. *Lovely holiday cottages, plenty of parking, the owner was very helpful, the cottage was very homely and well kitted out. Ideal for a family break.

Lovely super clean thatched cottage. Great location with lovely surroundings. Perfect spot for a break in the country.

Perfect accommodation, great private location. Kathryn went above and beyond with some lovely welcome treats which were greatly appreciated.
