Fisherman's. Harbour-front. With Private Parking!
I’d absolutely return to this amazing property, which has views over the water. The apartment was very clean & had everything & more that we needed for a great stay in Falmouth. Our host was really friendly & helpful

Blue Horizon Penthouse - amazing views + parking!
This was a lovely place to stay. Fabulous location with an amazing view, parking right outside and easy to walk to the beach, harbour and shops. Everything we needed for a wonderful holiday.

Garden Flat near Newlyn with stunning sea views
We had such a fantastic time at this Air BnB. Mary is a wonderful host and so helpful and friendly during our stay. The location is fabulous, within walking distance to Penzance, Newlyn and Mousehole (scenic walks too!) The place itself is beautifully decorated and clean not to forget the views are wonderful! We very much enjoyed our morning tea watching the boats across the water. The bed is super comfortable and all amenities are as described if not better. We will definitely be returning! What a gem of a place and the loveliest host!

Lapwing - Apartment with stunning harbour view.
perfect location, close enough to main area to make it accessible...but far enough away to keep it quiet. Janet responded promptly to every question and gave us great recommendations for pubs and food. Fabulous place, fabulous host

Spectacular Sea View Penthouse Apartment + Parking
Loved it! Fantastic location, clean & comfortable space with a great view. Really appreciated the excellent dining recommendations as we loved the Fish House and Fort restaurants. Also liked Lost Brewery for beer and burgers. If interested in a bit of an excursion, or otherwise find yourself in the south eastern part of Cornwall, you have to check out the Hidden Hut near Truro.

Ocean View Penthouse- Front Row Sea Views&Parking
The stay was great it was in a good location. It was a 5-10 minute walk down to the bus and train station and 10-15 in to town and restaurant. The place had what we needed for our stay. Emma also had a folder with all the information you need for our stay and helpful recommendations for things to do and places to eat. If you needed anything else Emma was just a message away and was very helpful. Will be back again

Ocean Breeze Porthtowan
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!

Wharfside maisonette with fabulous harbour views
Jane’s flat on the harbour was absolutely perfect for what we needed. Was in easy walking distance of carparks, beaches and restaurants. It was really easy to find with Jane’s instructions ahead of checkin. I would definitely return back to the flat in the future.

Cheerful two bedroom home with patio and balcony.
We had an absolutely lovely stay. Steven`s flat is ideally located, especially as we didn`t have a car. We were welcomed with friendly messages, some milk in the fridge and some biscuits which we really appreciated and Steven also checked in on us via messages to make sure everything was fine during our stay. Kind host, comfy flat, everything in easy walking distance, all in all a fantastic base to explore western Cornwall. Thanks a lot!

Boutique Farmhouse & Log Fire Cabin
absolutely stunning place in the beautiful moorlands. Very private, close to the river and lots of horses, sheep a cows nearby. The garden is huge and the kids(and grownups) loved it. Great facilities, well equipped kitchen. Wendy was most helpful and very quick to respond. We might well make it an annual trip.

Fantastic Beach Location and Fabulous Views
This place is a real gem and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for beautiful views, peace and serenity. It's within a short walk of amazing beaches and close to all local amenities that you need. St. Ives is easily accessible and we used it as a base for many other Cornish locations - Penzance, Land's End and Falmouth were an easy drive away. The property itself, aside from being in a great location, was very well equipped, spotlessly clean and had all amenities that were advertised and the pictures in the listing were accurate and recent. Karen was a great host, very responsive and left a number of goodies in the kitchen to welcome us, which was an extra special touch that we didn't expect. We stayed for 7 nights and could easily have stayed longer.

The Anchorage, Portmellon, Mevagissey
We had the most beautiful, peaceful and relaxing stay at The Anchorage. The location was superb, and the views from the house were my personal favorite part. I spent every spare minute in the sunroom looking at the ocean. There was plenty of space for us to all be comfortable and my children especially enjoyed the kids room with bunk beds! The town is beautiful and there are so many different beach options around to choose from. It is definitely a little stressful driving in the village (coming from from an American haha) but that aside it was a perfect end to our vacation and I plan on booking again (this time with some friends or maybe extended family to fill up the many bedrooms!)

House by The Sea with THE View
As a family of 4 the property was ideal, it had all the amenities required for our 4 day stay. The property is stunning, so tastefully furnished and decorated, it is in a prime location with stunning sea views. Its location is great for strolling into Penzance and a short car journey to local sites, such as the Minack theatre, which is well worth a visit as well as St Ives. We were luckily enough to meet Lenn during our stay, he knows the area well and gave some great suggestions as well as being a great host, we found the property easily and followed Lenn’s instructions to a tee, we would recommend Lenn and Gord’s beautiful property, and was very sad to leave it to come home, a stunning find x

Luxury waterside wharf house 200m to beach
A gorgeous house within walking distance of Hayle beach. The house was brilliantly appointed and was very comfortable. Gorgeous views over the estuary enhanced our stay. Annie was a great host - very responsive and informative.

Tregurtha Cottage
The location is perfect right on the beach and you can walk into the Harbour in minutes, the only downside is parking but we managed to park on the island car park. Lovely views of the sea from the rooms and the place was clean, had everything we needed would definitely book again.

Spectacular luxury waterfront house
Awesome location with fantastic views over the marina and river. Clean modern apartment with bifold doors creating a superb outside inside living space. We had a superb week.

CLIFF EDGE apartment with stunning seaview
The property is absolutely stunning and it was very safe and secure. My family really enjoyed being in the apartment and we would visit again. The surrounding area probably wasn't our cup of tea but i can see why people would enjoy it. Overall good experience

The Old Gas Works on the Harbour
Jody and James were the perfect hosts ♥️ They were very responsive and went above and beyond with suggesting places to see and do. The flat exceeded our expectations and the location was accessible as it was only a few minutes walk from the train station, shops and beaches . It was clean, well supplied and nicely presented with well thought out interior decor. Definitely good value! Will definitely rent with Jody and James again if we get the chance to come back to Cornwall.

Balcony flat with views down the Penryn Estuary
Smashing wee place with great access for walks around the area or just exploring Penryn itself and especially handy for cafes, takeaways restaurants and good pubs. It was nice to return to somewhere I'd been before and see how it had improved since 1979!

Watch the sun rise - Penzance
It was such a lovely stay, very cozy yet spacious place. The view is great as well and we loved the patio for fresh air. Also close to all transport links saved so much time. And lastly Kerry was so quick to respond made it very easy to communicate, thank you!

Flip Flop Flat, Sea Views, Short Stroll to Beaches
This is a fabulous and comfortable apartment from which to explore Newquay and Cornwall. With water views, a great open plan living, dining and kitchen space and a generous bedroom, it had everything we needed for a 7 night stay. The hosts were welcoming and generous. This is one of the best bnbs we have stayed in.

Amazing views, 10% off 7 days stay & free parking
Very clean and comfortable apartment with amazing views, great location and easy to find. We loved our stay here and would definitely recommend!

Harbour front flat in the heart of Mevagissey
Mevagissey on the south Cornish coast was a little gem. A fishing harbour with huge tides, lots of shops, bakeries, and restaurants . The flat was compact clean and had good kitchen and laundry facilities. Perfect for a couple to explore the town or further afield. The ferry to Fowey was a highlight as was walking the harbour and streets. Location was a joy and we’d have no hesitation to recommend!

Little Beck
We were greeted promptly by Kate who was lovely and her gentle dog. The room was clean and the bed was very comfy. With little homely highlights to make the stay as comfortable as possible. Definitly would recommend if you’re visiting the area.
