Stunning Scandinavian Lodge with pool and hot tub.

JadeRating, 5 stars1 week ago
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!

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.

A lovely house in a fantastic location. Peter and Scarlet were extremely easy to deal with and very responsive. The house was clean and tidy with good amenities - especially the hot tub and the pool table. Well worth checking out.

Romantic Country Cottage| Hot tub| Sauna

SimonRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
Absolutely beautiful cottage, inside & out. Internally the decor is all amazing and very thoughtfully designed and very luxurious. The location is perfect to explore all corners of Cornwall. Kate is a superb host who made us feel extra special with all the welcome treats. The hottub & sauna are a great way to relax after a long day of walking with our dogs. We had the best time here but it was all too short. We’ll certainly be back!

Millpool Lodge peaceful haven Cardinham Cornwall

KaleighRating, 5 starstoday
Jenny was fab about us arriving later than expected and we got a lovely welcome when we did eventually arrive. The lodge is lovely and had everything we needed. The gardens are absolutely out of this world, every part you walk around is better than the bit before!! Very friendly, genuinely nice hosts and we couldn’t have asked for more from them. As it was our first time in Cornwall they were really helpful with ideas of where to visit and places to eat/go for a drink. Sonny (the dog) was a massive added bonus too! Brilliant few days away, it was very much needed! Thank you both again :)

Luxury Holiday Home with Hot Tub & Sea views

GeorginaRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
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.

St Agnes coastal cottage, hot tub by beach & pubs

CharlotteRating, 5 stars1 week ago
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!

Charlestown Cornwall amazing Sea view 2 bedroom

RodRating, 5 stars1 month ago
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.

Ocean Breeze Porthtowan

CarlRating, 5 stars2 days ago
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!

Close to beautiful Cornish beaches

JanaRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
We loved staying at the property. It was bright and clean, and uncluttered. It had everything we needed, the kitchen was well equipped. The weather was changeable while we were there, but we felt very cosy when needed. The location is fantastic, we had come down by train, and were able to walk to Marazion. We also had access to the Penzance bus, which we used on our last day to get to the train station. There are also local shops and pubs within walking distance. Karly and her family were very friendly, we felt we could have approached them if we had needed anything. They had very thoughtfully left a bottle of wine and milk for when we arrived. We will be returning to Cornwall in the future, and would stay at this property again, it was such good value for money for the high standard of accommodation.

Small and perfectly formed. Fresh linen and towels

KirstyRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
The property matched the description provided, though the photographs give the impression of a larger space. Nevertheless, it perfectly met our requirements. Chris was exceptionally responsive to our inquiries, addressing various questions we had. The area was clean and filled with ample natural light. Our children thoroughly enjoyed the surrounding land for play, as well as the small game room stocked with toys, which was a welcome respite during a particularly rainy and windy day. The on-site washing machine was available for free use, and the washing line proved to be quite useful. Although the outdoor pool was not heated, it did not deter my children from taking a dip and having fun. I would certainly consider staying at this property again.

Fistral Cottage -close to Newquay with Hottub&Pool

KellyRating, 5 stars4 weeks ago
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 😉
