Cottage vacation rentals in Helston

Lovely few days in half term with the kids. Unable to use the hot tub as weather was relentless and was windy and wet. Driveway is a bit ropey so careful if your car is low to the ground! Hosts were really helpful and even had a visit from one of the cats!

We had a wonderful stay at Shaun’s cottage in Saint Newlyn East. The space was exactly as described — clean, cosy, and thoughtfully set up, with everything we needed for a comfortable stay as a small family. It was perfect for me, my wife, and our 5-month-old son. The location is peaceful and ideally situated for exploring the coast and nearby towns, yet still close enough to amenities when needed. Shaun was a responsive and helpful host, offering clear instructions and making us feel welcome from the start. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a quiet, charming base in Cornwall!

Beautiful and peaceful place, stunning location. Accommodation is everything you would want and need so much space with a well equipped kitchen which included a full sized fridge freezer, the walk-In shower was the best especially for hosing down my fur babies after being at the beach. My dogs felts right at home with the enclosed outside area. The hot tub looked amazing however unfortunately didn’t get to use it due to the storm Definitely would recommend staying here also we will be back

This is one of the best airbnbs I’ve stayed in - no signal or WiFi, but it forced us to switch off which was magical. The location is stunning, gorgeous walks and sunsets. We walked down to the secluded cove they have about 10 mins walk to the top of the hill, through a farm. The Airbnb was such a surprise - the photos don’t do it justice! Lovely touches, and cream tea on our arrival. Will 100% come back again

Beautiful accommodation just like in the pictures. So dreamy and the hot tub is the cherry on the top! Overall a lovely stay with great hosts. Just make sure to buy enough firewood, the house is a little bit cold in spring (which is normal for an older building). I would definitely come back anytime! Thanks Beckie & Vince!

We loved our stay at bumblebee cottage. It was beautiful, clean and had everything we needed for our stay. Loved the attention to detail and was very thankful for the welcome pack. The hot tub is private and a great size for relaxing. Tracy our host was very communicative, friendly and at hand for any questions. We will definitely be returning. Our children loved it that much they asked if we could move in.

What a wonderful place, everything was perfect and the views were gorgeous. We were a party of 6 with dogs and had more than enough space. Great enclosed garden. Lovely and clean with everything we needed. Would highly recommend and will no doubt return.

We really enjoyed our stay and our accommodation was perfect. I have a long list of what was great! 1. Parking outside the house - great for unloading 2. Doggy friendly 3. Secure garden for dogs 4. Great outdoor space with covered area for food prep and a bbq. Outdoor fire, table and chairs. Really pretty garden, which we found lovely to relax with a drink after some lovely long walks! 5. The coastal path is literally 2 mins away from the house! The coastal paths are stunning! 6. Short walk into St Agnes, which has some really lovely restaurants. We went to 3 different ones during our stay and the food was delicious and the staff were super friendly. Great for vegan food also, loads of choice! I must say the vegan Cornish pasties, bread and carrot cake were delicious! 7. The house was clean, and the bed was comfy. Great books on bookshelf. 8. Lovely indoor wood burner Kate left us some Prosecco, fresh bread and butter in the fridge! Highly recommend!

We had a fantastic stay! The house actually looked even better in person than in the photos. It had so much to offer—cozy fireplace, BBQ, and a lovely outdoor bench area that made it perfect for relaxing. While there is a train railway nearby, it didn't bother us at all and didn’t take away from the peaceful vibe. Would definitely recommend this place!

Had a great stay, lovely area, accommodation was perfect for us, would consider it again when visiting our favourite part of the world. Plus perfect host.

We had a wonderful few days in Cornwall. Walking, exploring and attending a family wedding. The cottage at Talskiddy was everything we expected and more. Quiet, peaceful, cosy and comfy. Excellent amenities and a perfect base to explore Cornwall from.

We had a lovely few days a Wisteria Cottage. The surroundings are beautiful and it was so peaceful. Walking from this location was a dream with access to the South West Coast Path very close by. The cottage had everything we needed and was warm and dry after wet walks! Thank you

Came down for a family wedding nearby and location was perfect for us. The farmhouse was cozy, welcoming and spacious. The beds were comfy, so much so we all overslept on checkout morning. Facilities, especially in the kitchen were ideal for us. We would love to come again, next time for longer so we can explore the local area more thoroughly and probably with the dog who missed out this time. Thanks for having us to stay.

We had a fantastic time at Jenny’s lovely cottage! Jenny is kind and helpful, and communicated throughout to make our stay as pleasant as possible. The cottage is beautifully decorated and the garden and location is a little peace of heaven. Small mishap with the cleaning at arrival, but quickly resolved with a very friendly housekeeper. Thank you so much for having us, we’ll be back soon!

I'm sure Gill would be the first to say that both she and her place offer a quirky stay deep in the Cornish countryside: stained glass windows, wooden carvings, kitchen table hanging by chains from the ceiling, friendly animals in the yard. Don't let that put you off, her place is warm and comfortable and there was milk in the fridge and scones and jam to welcome us. Me and my frinends Ian and Pete had a great time and all agreed Gill's place was one of our favourite stays since we started walking the coastpath.

We loved our stay. The property is lovely. For us, the highlight was the peaceful position of the property with harbour views. Everything was pristine inside the cottage, particularly the kitchen where every glass and piece of cutlery passed “The Jan Test” with flying colours! Amy was an impeccable host from start to finish. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

Lovely place as a base for a great holiday in Cornwall with the family!

Wonderful family stay at Winnie’s cottage. In beautiful surroundings and in beautiful accommodation. Family break where everything was provided and so much more opportunities. From the log burning to the opportunity to have a cozy bbq set up. Surrounded by animals in a sublime environment. Immaculate cottage where everything was provided, even a welcome gift by an amazing host, Maria, who was welcoming and inviting throughout our visit.

We had the most wonderful stay at Brook Cottage! Every detail has clearly been so thoughtfully considered and we truly appreciated all the little touches that made it feel like a home away from home. The welcome basket was such a lovely surprise and really set the tone for the rest of our visit. We honestly wished we hadn’t packed so much - everything we could possibly need was already provided (apart from clothes, of course!). Suzy was so friendly and incredibly quick to respond to a couple of enquiries we had, which made everything even more seamless. Brook Cottage is a truly special place, and we can’t wait to come back. Thank you again! The Roberts Family

We absolutely loved our stay in Sparrow Cottage.. everything was just perfect! Heidi was a very responsive host and so easy to communicate with. The cottage is cosy and full of lovely touches. The beds and bedding were really comfortable, the log burning fire kept us warm and the kitchen contained everything we needed. It was our first time in that part of Cornwall and we really enjoyed our coastal walks and trying local brews at The Driftwood Spas. There’s a good selection of places to eat within a half hour walk.. I’m sure we’ll return!

We really enjoyed our stay. The cottage has a lot of character ,cosy and comfortable situated n a beautiful location. Thank you Jenny!!

This was a beautiful cottage with everything we needed for a great stay… Fabulous central location, quiet private space. Lovely hosts ensuring we had everything we needed and offering local recommendations… Can’t recommend highly enough we will definitely be back… thank you 🧡

A beautiful gem in a fabulous serene location near so many brilliant places in Cornwall. Perfectly furnished and thoughtful set up. Super helpful and friendly host - down to getting the bbq ready for us and being able to hose down wetsuits on site plus lots of great local recommendations - plus very quick responses and let us know we could check in early. Could not recommend enough (except to ensure there’s some availability next summer so we can return!). Exactly what we needed and such a stunning private garden too - ideal if you are bringing a furry friend. Many thanks and hope to be back soon

We had an amazing time with our two young kids here. The house was lovely, with a large garden to play in. It's located a short 10 min walk from the village that has a shop etc, and is conveniently located to get to other local areas by car. Pen and Patrick were very helpful with local recommendations each day, and helpfully replenished the firewood whenever we asked. We'd definitely come back again.
