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!

Fabulous cottage with everything you need. John and Jane were great host, very friendly and helpful. There was a lovely hamper with all the essentials plus some tasty treats. Everything was spotlessly clean, including the hot tub. Perfect spot for exploring West Cornwall.

A great place to stay,very quiet village,friendly host. Perfect spot for exploring Cornwall. Thank you Shaun we will definitely be back .

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

Our stay was lovely. Tracy’s cottage was absolutely immaculate and inviting Felt warm and comfortable with thoughtful touches like fresh flowers,scones and chocolates 😊 Tracy was a pleasure to communicate with as well. Warm and responsive I could tell she was a warm and kind hearted person right from the get go

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.

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.

We zijn een week met veel plezier in het schoolhuis geweest. Het is een majestueuze ruimte met een heel eigen karakter! Gila en Martin zijn fijne verhuurders en we hebben leuk contact gehad. Als we in de buurt zijn, komen we zeker weer! Vanuit het huis kun je de hele zuidkust van Cornwall ontdekken, veel mooie plekken op maar een kwartiertje rijden.

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!

Absolutely stunning! spent a week here and it's the loveliest little spot, small but perfectly sized for 2 and a dog. Absolutely lovely host, left little treats for us on arrival and had recommendations in the area but also not intrusive. The cottage itself is perfect, so homey and had everything we could need. we used the log burner every evening while playing one of the board games provided and it was so cozy and nice. The area is absolutely wonderful, beautiful views, path right down to the beach, and so many lovely walks right of the door, we did the majority of our daily outings as a straight walk from the cottage and watched the sunset from the beach each night. the photos really do not do this place justice, it is truly absolutely stunning and we would LOVE to return !

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

Wij hebben een geweldig verblijf gehad bij Zoë! Accommodatie is in het echt nog mooier als op de foto’s. Communicatie met Zoë ging heel snel en erg vriendelijk. Zodra wij aan kwamen, kwam Zoë even langs om ons welkom te heten. Goede tips in een boek en zowel via de app voor de omgeving qua pubs en leuke stadjes! De tuin zag er ook super mooi uit met gezellige vogels die langs kwamen om pinda’s op de eten die aan de boom hing. Ons verblijf was echt fantastisch en zouden het zo nog een keer boeken!

We had a fantastic week in Cathy's lovely Airbnb. Beautifully furnished and well equipped it is well located just 10 mins walk from the beach and just a few mins walk away from some restaurants. We had lovely meals at the Peterville inn and the taphouse. I can also highly recommend Cafe Q for a light lunch and the Cornish Pizza Company (great pizzas) for a takeaway. St Agnes was a great location for us, we thouroughly enjoyed the coastel walks and the beach and appreciate it being just around 30mins travel to Padstow and about 40 mins to St Ives. Cathy's place was perfect for us and had everything we could need for comfortable stay and a great night's sleep. Hopefully we will look to stay again In the future.

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.

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.

Wow, what an absolutely beautiful place to spend a week away from it all! Lower Nance is a picture perfect cottage in a fantastic little village location. We spent a week exploring Cornwall and it was a perfect home base. We were excited to get home from each adventure and spend more time in the house! Each room is thoughtfully furnished, with something beautiful everywhere you look. The property and amenities are exactly as described and squeaky clean. The garden was equally, gloriously charming, with views of the rolling hills nearby, and roses and poppies in full bloom. Adam was super quick to respond to messages and we were able to check-in early with no fuss at all. Thank you!

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