Cottage vacation rentals in Mawnan Smith

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!

Beautiful traditional Cornish cottage located within a very peaceful village but only 10mins drive from loads of beautiful beaches. Added benefit of a hot tub which unfortunately we didn’t get to use with a 2 year old in tow! Would highly recommend.

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.

We really enjoyed our stay at little Chyshore Barn. The accommodation has everything you would need for a relaxing few days, we did four National Trust Day's!!! Glendurgan garden being our favourite. Gary and Sally were good hosts, and available should you need them. We would love to return someday.

We loved our stay and can't wait to come back! The surroundings and wildlife were beautiful. It was the perfect spot to relax and we had everything we could need for our short stay. Highly recommend gathering around the fire pit to watch the sun set across the treetops! We were sad we couldn't stay longer - but hoping to come back next year for our wedding celebrations! A huge thanks to Chris and the team for being so helpful, friendly and kind!

One of the best airbnbs we have stayed in! Such a beautiful, cosy feeling, with everything you’d want for a comfortable stay. Loved the furnishings and vibe of the place, I can tell a lot of love has gone into it! Also the garden is just dreamy! Great friendly, communicative host!

The cottage was very clean and comfortable. We loved relaxing in the warm conservatory after our days out walking. Easy walking access to SW coast path and within 15 minutes car ride of Penzance and St Just.

Beautiful cottage that has everything you might need, close to pubs and restaurants, in an absolutely breathtaking location

We had a great stay here in the village of Sticker. It is on the main bus route from St Austell to Truro, so was very easy to get to from the train station (which is next to the bus station). Steve & Sue were very welcoming and helpful, and the cottage had everything we needed for our 12 day stay. There is a pub and a village shop/post office a short walk away, so very convenient. We hired a car and found it very easy to get about as we were so central. It was lovely to come back after a day’s sightseeing to the peace and quiet of our cosy cottage (and sit in the garden when the weather permitted!). We would not hesitate to recommend Steve’s cottage!

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

Sue was really helpful and friendly and walked us through the important details of Merrilee which was a good sized 2 bedroom property with all the amenities you would expect

Outstanding location, 10 min to friendly st mawes, you can take the foot ferry across, great ferryman btw. Brilliant weather our week so sunny , visited cellar beach , a short walk from the cottage to the side of place manor, great for swimming, paddle board ect or watching the boats sail by. Cottage very private indeed , a space to completely relax and switch off , set in a walled garden , a little sun trap, orchard , no traffic noise, just the friendly birds , in all perfect. We look forward to booking again soon , can’t wait to come back . Thankyou John

Cath's place is central to old penryn and conveniently 3 doors away from my son. we knew there was no parking and not a problem as we travelled by train and bus, the bus into Falmouth stops just over the road, the station is 10 minutes walk uphill. the house is tastefully furnished with all you need for a short stay. unfortunately my son is about to move to the other side of Penryn! Penryn itself is a lovely small town with a good selection of pubs, cafes and takeaways, and has a lot of history, but quieter than Falmouth.

We booked the Hay Loft for a short break while visiting family in Falmouth. The property surpassed our expectations! It was beautifully styled, spacious and clean and in a lovely peaceful wooded location but yet only a short drive from Falmouth town centre. We enjoyed several lovely local walks from the Hay Loft, including a walk to Maenporth beach and walks down the valley. Definitely our ‘go to’ place when visiting Falmouth. Thank you Joanne !

We had a lovely stay here. The house was perfect for our family. The estate itself has a lovely swimming pool, kids park and tennis courts and only a short walk to the beach. The house has everything we needed.

Eleanor’s cottage was perfect for our family of four. It is next to the creek and a very short walk to the pub and ferry. The cottage was great, with comfortable beds and everything we needed. We picked up some supplies on our way to the cottage at the supermarket in Helston, but the local shop in Helford was handy too. Parking was on the creek or up in a nearby car park (a 2 minute walk up the hill). We bought a ticket for the week and left the car there except on the days we were venturing further afield. We had such a great holiday and would definitely recommend this beautiful part of Cornwall and Eleanor’s lovely cottage!

Just a very special lovely place, a hidden gem. Everything you need. Kelly is an excellent host and I will return again.

Fantastic Cottage to stay in. Comfy bed. Fitted wardrobe and drawers. Decent size bathroom with lovely whirlpool bath. Good size Kitchen fitted out with everything you would need. Two comfy chairs, table and huge tv. All very comfortable in a good location for beaches and places of interest, Eden Project and The Lost Gardens of Heligan just a short drive away. All in all a nice place to stay in, and hosts Philip and Gaynor are friendly and excellent hosts of Kingfisher Cottage

Me and my partner spent a few days away in Cornwall for our first trip away. The apple loft was so warming and a wonderful place to relax and chill after spending the day exploring Cornwall. Alison was very helpful and fast to respond. The loft itself was spacious, homely and spotless. We could have spent our whole time in that loft it was so wonderful, we’ll happily come back and worth every penny. Thanks again
