Cottage vacation rentals in Helston

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!

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

Clare’s place is beautiful, and surrounded by acres of fields. No one on top of you, just peace and quiet. The bungalow is clean and tidy and Clare had baked some gorgeous cakes and left lots of goodies in the fridge for us. It was great having a dishwasher too. Highly recommended. And 100% pre book restaurants as they get busy.

Our stay in Fowey was nothing short of magical, and this Airbnb made it even more special. The location is fantastic -yes, it’s partway up a hill, but the stroll into town is short, scenic, and lined with the most charming restaurants and harborfont bars. Fowey itself is absolutely adorable. The converted schoolhouse is truly one-of-a-kind. The hosts did an amazing job preserving the original charm while creating a modern, inviting space that’s perfect for entertaining. And the hot tub overlooking the harbor? Unreal. I probably spent half the trip soaking in it. There were even thoughtful touches like umbrellas to borrow, which came in handy in classic English weather. We did experience a minor issue with noise from neighbors in an adjoining unit, but the host was incredibly responsive and professional. They made it clear they cared and took swift action to make sure we were comfortable.

Lovely cottage in a stunning location. Excellent hosting, nice welcome treat (thanks!). The kitchen had everything we needed for our stay, we catered in and didn't eat out at all. The lounge is comfortable but sadly the weather was far too warm to justify lighting the log burner! Wifi was great, we streamed a film one evening without issue. The location is incredible, loads of walks directly from the door, including up to castle ruins just at the top of the hill. To be able to stomp up the hill to the prehistoric stones and watch the sun set over the sea, then stroll back down at dusk to sit in the hot tub and watch the stars come out, was truly magical.

The loveliest cottage and the nicest hosts 💗 if you’re looking for a homely and warm airbnb, this is a perfect choice. Vince and Becky are amazing, recommended a lot of great places to us and made sure we felt well looked after and welcome!

This is an amazing air bnb! We had a wonderful stay at Claire’s place. The place was exactly as described and the small touches like cold Prosecco in the fridge, hot water bottles and dressing gowns made it feel extra welcoming. The location is great, just a small walk to the beach and restaurants / pubs. Claire was extremely responsive host and we would defined stay here again if we came back to Perrenporth!

Thanks Kate and Simon, I know our stay was short but you made us very welcome and were sure to stay in touch before, during and after our stay. We also appreciated you leaving us some little essential food items and a surprise bottle of fizz! A very cosy stay.

Just had an amazing 4 nights stay at Tallulah Rose. The cottage was lovely, peaceful and clean and had everything we needed for our stay. It was great to be able to sit outside in the morning sun to have a cuppa before starting our day exploring the beautiful Cornish countryside and coast. Susie was an excellent host. Really warm and friendly and happy to help with anything we needed. Thank you for giving us the tranquil getaway we so needed!

A really lovely cottage in a great location. The cottage was clean, cosy and well equipped. The garden was absolutely beautiful and fully enclosed for our dog. Very thoughtful provision of dog towels.

We loved our stay at wisteria cottage, the perfect place to relax after busy days exploring Cornwall. We walked to St Agnes from chapel porth beach which was lovely and also watched the amazing sunset from chapel porth beach. Laura was lovely and left scones and cream, local beers which we really enjoyed. Gave us lovely restaurant recommendations in St.Agnes. We loved St.Agnes on sunny mornings enjoying a coffee. The bed was also sooo comfortable like sleeping on a cloud!!! Thank you :)

This was a great quiet place to stay that was central for all the places around the Lizard we wanted to wander. Not too fancy, but great value and just exactly what we were looking for. The place helped us feel relaxed and easy going for a long weekend.

We had a great stay at the secret garden cottage . Easy to find . Great location with superb views especially from the kitchen . The kitchen was well equipped. The interiors were thoughtfully done — cozy, clean, and full of little touches that made a big difference. We enjoyed watching the skies change over the coast and the peaceful silence.

Great stay - location was brilliant. Stones throw from the quayside where the kids spent many happy hours crabbing. Perfect for what we were looking for and a great base to explore both North and South shore Cornwall. Will miss the view out of the top bedroom so much. Thanks Nic for being so responsive during our trip.

A small, very cosy and tastefully furnished cottage with a unique atmosphere. Nothing is missing. The owner is very friendly and attentive. The Miners Arms pub is a two-minute walk away and serves good meals. We would love to come here again.

Perfect location for visiting all areas. Lovely and quiet, very peaceful. Very well equipped

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.

We had a great stay at Zoë's! Accommodation is even more beautiful in person than in the pictures. Communication with Zoë was very fast and very friendly. As soon as we arrived, Zoë stopped by to welcome us. Good tips in a book and both through the app for the area in terms of pubs and nice towns! The garden also looked super beautiful with cozy birds that came by to eat peanuts that hung on the tree. Our stay was really fantastic and would book it again in a minute!

Another lovely stay with Kay and Terry's kind hospitality at 'the Retreat', which is just perfect for a peaceful stay in Coverack, off the beaten track in Cornwall. It has everything you'll need as a couple or single person who prefers self-catering. If you enjoy walking, there are many opportunities in the surrounding area, including a walk down the hill to Coverack and the little harbour, with hotel (pub).

Great host and property had everything our engineers needed for their week stay. Would recommend

Perfect location in Porthleven, a short walk from the harbour and beach. Porthleven itself is ideally situated for exploring many of the surrounding areas by car. The property itself was clean, comfortable, and well-equipped, perfect for our visit. We would happily stay again on a future trip to Cornwall!

We had a really lovely stay at Apple loft, Alison was so friendly and great with communication. She added lots of personal touches, which was greatly appreciated. We brought our 6 month old and there was plenty of space around the bed for a travel cot, and Alison supplied a high chair. Alison sent her recommended places in the local area before we arrived, which was really helpful. We’d definitely recommend to anyone visiting the local area x

We had a fabulous stay at Roger and Polly's cottage. The location was great for choice of amazing beaches and sights. Information given in advance was helpful, check in very straightforward and hosts very responsive. The cottage itself was really cosy and clean, the beds all super comfy with lovely bedding and all the other amenities perfect. Our kids had a great time pottering around the garden and going for little walks with us down the quiet lane in the evening to see the cows. Thanks so much for having us stay :) we hope to come back again

A lovely cottage in the grounds of the owners property but private and peaceful. Nice decked area at the rear with lovely views. Well equipped, comfortable and spacious for two plus our dog. Helston was a good base to explore from, there’s a lovely walk into Porthleven via the Penrose estate. Ideal for visits to all the points of interest in the area. Would recommend.
