Cottage vacation rentals in Gwithian

We spent 3 nights staying at the Mowhay. It was the perfect mix of peaceful hideaway whilst being well connected to major roads and local amenities. The accommodation was well laid out with a very well equipped kitchen. Claire was great at communicating from booking to check out and we met Geoff a couple of times during our stay who was super friendly. Would thoroughly recommend!

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!

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.

What a beautiful spot, the views are fantastic and there is so much outside space! We loved the fishing lake and hot tub area which made it for us! Prefect lovely and good value.

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.

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.

Perfect little cottage located off a quiet street. Shop, chippy and Asda really close and also free parking within a short walk. Very accurate description and the place contained everything you would need. Dave and Kel were great hosts and check in and check out were smooth. Will hopefully return next time I visit Cornwall.

The postcode took us straight to the door - trust it. The house is quite spacious and very comfortable. The welcome pack was handy but apart from that there was nothing, no sugar for coffee on arrival which would be nice. We would have liked local recommendations for restaurants etc. but found the Carn Brae Castle Restaurant which we highly recommended for the view and quirkiness.

Perfectly and centrally located. It takes 1 min to walk to the harbour! Lovely inside with everything we needed. Our only slight negative was that there was no firewood. We had two days of torrential rain during our first 2 days and we felt cold. It would have been nice to put the fire on but no biggie - there were plenty of blankets and the shower is nice and hot. The cottage is next to a side street pub but we didn’t find it to be a disturbance. Lovely stay, would definitely come back to.

We stayed in the cottage for 5 days. The garden was like a small, beautiful paradise, someone has very green fingers. The tub and views were amazing. Inside the cottage was exceptionally clean, with all the amenities you would ever need, of a high quality. Great comfy bed too. Excellent location for exploration. Very friendly and homely pub 1 min walk away. Good parking. Why are you reading the reviews? Book now, it’s fantastic! Thank you Ashley.

Lovely cottage crammed with period features and charm. Fabulous host, really attentive and communicated pro actively. The location made it, you step out of the garden onto the Chappel Valley path which follows the steam, that flows through your garden, down to Chappel Porth Cove which is amazing. If the Cove looks like nothing special then it's high tide, when the tide goes out its miles of golden sand and hidden caves, stunning. Lovely coastal walk to StAgnes which is a lovely place to explore, so many lovely places to eat. The dressed crab at the Tap House is amazing. Arrival was lovely, Laura had left us a locally sourced cream tea, local teas and coffees, fresh flowers, even shampoos for our dog, so thoughtful. We absolutely loved our stay thank you

Brilliant Cottage. Very dog friendly and immaculately clean. Location is right within the town and close to the beaches. Stayed in St Ives over a dozen times and this was by far one of the best cottages we have stopped in. Host was fantastic from moment of booking; suggesting parking/places to go etc. Would highly recommend.

Great location and lovely setting for the well appointed, comfortable accommodation. John was friendly, helpful, communicative, interested and welcoming. We had a brilliant stay and definitely wish to return. Many thanks John.

What a lovely cottage in a great location. Everything you could need was here with the addition of treats left by the owner Michelle to welcome us. Very comfy bed and practical wet room. Nearby the Miners Arms 2 or 3 minute walk away was an added bonus for drinks and food. We can highly recommend this characterful cottage and its owner Michelle. Thanks again Andy and Kate

My wife & I along with our 3 month old baby spent a week at William's cottage. William is an attentive host, providing clear instructions and assisting with any questions we had in a punctual manner. We primarily used the cottage as a base to explore the area each day and it was a perfect place to come home to. The cottage has been renovated to a high standard with modern fittings. We noted how quiet and cozy the cottage is in the evenings. Porthleven is a small town and the cottage is a 5 minute walk from the harbour. Kota Kai is definitely a recommended restaurant as family friendly and excellent food.

We had the most wonderful stay at Tallulah Cottage. It is the perfect pad for a Cornish getaway. The cottage itself has a well-equipped and spacious kitchen, a relaxing living area, cosy mezzanine bedroom and squeaky-clean bathroom. Outside there is a small garden area opposite the cottage but admittedly there is a road between this and the cottage and we did notice some cars/vans driving up it very quickly so had to be careful with letting our pooch wander. Susie was extremely friendly and I’d definitely recommend this accommodation for anyone wanting to explore far SW Cornwall.

It was a wonderful stay in Mousehole! The description of the accommodation and the tips for the restaurants as well as for the activities were perfect. Rebecca was always available and was able to offer helpful solutions. Mousehole is a place to fall in love! However, parking space is scarce. But with a little creativity, there's always a solution. Thank you so much for having us.

Lovely little cottage that felt very homey. Nic was easy to get a hold of, had great recommendations and left some great little touches in the cottage. Well equipped kitchen and great coffee supplies! Very walkable to the town and was very peaceful. Would definitely recommend it!

Praze Barn is the loveliest place to stay for a peaceful retreat. We had the nicest time - the local area is amazingly beautiful and the barn felt fitting to return to as it was gorgeous, cozy and bright. Lots of great info about the area in the guide left in the house which was really useful. Would highly recommend to anyone, especially if you want a peaceful weekend away - perfect place to reset!

We had a wonderful stay with our 2-year-old at Alex’s place. The home was spotless, comfortable, and perfectly set up for a relaxing visit. Alex and his family were incredibly kind and welcoming, offering great local tips, including some excellent brewery recommendations! Location is excellent - with the region's best beach only minutes away. What made our stay truly special was the thoughtful surprise: handmade Easter decorations just for our little one. It was such a sweet and memorable touch. Highly recommend this place for a great private stay in Cornwall.

Jago's Loft is genuinely luxurious: spacious, with elegant decor which aptly fits its maritime setting. Beds and sofas are just so comfortable, and the kitchen is equipped with everything you'd never thought of to help you live easily and conveniently. There is a small sunny patio outside the French doors for outdoor living. Alison was readily helpful while rigorously leaving us our privacy. The cottage looks on to a small shared space with lovely garden borders and a long view through to the harbour and the lines of picturesque cottages across the estuary in Falmouth. The 2 mins walk to the out-of-this-world village shop just 2 mins walk away gave us opportunity to commune with the family of 6 small cygnets who frequent the harbour with their parents. We are not drivers, but trains go all the way into Falmouth and the local bus service is excellent for a rural community.

Great accommodation that had everything we needed as a family! We felt very comfortable and would like to stay longer next time. The beautiful garden and nearby beaches were perfect for a relaxing break ❤️🌊☀️
