Cottage vacation rentals in Porthpean

We had a great stay in the house. Our group was 4 adults, 2 children and a dog and it was the perfect size for us all. The house was very comfortable and well equipped with everything we needed. The location was very peaceful and so quiet at night we all got great sleep. We visited Bude, Clovelly and Widemouth over our 4 day stay and it was perfectly located for them. Roger provided all the information we needed beforehand with guides to everything we could possibly need. He also responded to messages straightaway. The hot tub was a nice bonus and easy to use. We were lucky with the weather and enjoyed sitting in the garden. I can't think of anything that would have improved our stay, I would definitely love to return.

Absolutely loved our peaceful stay. Tracey and Mark were very attentive and friendly, truly went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. One of our highlights was the Italian themed delicious dinner cooked for us! Highly recommend to anyone wanting a mini spa break to switch off.

Had an absolutely perfect stay at Helen and Tim's peaceful cottage in Polperro. It was cosy, comfortable and just what we needed for a relaxing few days away. The hot tub was a particular highlight! Would definitely stay again!

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!

We had an absolute fantastic stay at Nicola's place. We can highly recommend this most relaxing and peaceful place in stunning Cornwall. Nicola is a great host and has made us feel very welcome. She has created an absolute wonderful home away from home with everything you wish for. Thank you so much for having us. Hope to come back some time soon.

Accommodation was beautiful and perfectly clean, even more lovely than the photos would suggest! The cottage was situated in a peaceful location but within driving distance to main attractions. The amenities in the cottage were perfect for a cozy night in and hosts were quick to respond regarding any enquiries. The bed was extremely comfortable and with the sauna and hot tub we couldn’t decide if we should stay in and enjoy the accommodation or go out to explore Cornwall!

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.

This peaceful cottage is a true oasis in the Cornish countryside. Getting there means navigating the famous hedge-lined lanes—just follow Sue’s directions. The courtyard and gardens are perfect for relaxing, often with birdsong in the background, and the Jacuzzi is a luxurious bonus. Inside, the cottage is cozy and well-equipped (toaster, dishwasher, washer/dryer, though you’ll still use the drying rack). Sue is a warm, responsive host who lives just steps away and offers great local tips. You’re welcomed with Cornish treats and milk in the fridge, and there’s a Tesco 10 minutes away. The location is ideal for exploring Cornwall—from Port Isaac and Tintagel to Bodmin Moor and St. Michael’s Mount (book tea and time it with the tide for a boat ride back). We even reread Jamaica Inn by Daphne DuMaurier (a copy is provided) and spotted familiar place names while driving. We’d absolutely stay again.

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.

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.

The cottage is in a lovely location with great views from one of the double bedrooms and the conservatory and driveway. It felt very homely with the fire very useful, comfy sofas, thick stone walls. Kitchen is a little small but has everything needed, and has a spacious dining area attached. Comfortably fits 6, even 7 with sofa bed, though the two single bed mattresses feel a bit old. It was at a discounted price however with some more work said to be needed. Lovely woodland walk on the doorstep and coast very close. Very quiet and peaceful. Didn’t find pre-warned damp much of an issue. Amy was helpful and attentive though being in a different time zone. Appreciated the private space. A good find.

This is a beautiful cottage. So clean and cosy. Clear instructions and always on hand if I had any questions to ask. There was of cooking utensils for home cooking and Karen was brilliant at recommending places to eat. We settled on the nearby sea front restaurant called Port William. Was a perfect evening fabulous food and service too. I would totally recommend this cottage for a home From home experience in beautiful Cornwall.

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!

We had a lovely stay. Sarah was very flexible with checking in and out which enabled us to make the most of our 2 night stay. The cottage is cosy and very private. we enjoyed the food at the Napoleon on our hosts recommendation and found the locals very friendly. Principally we were there to walk the coastal path, which is stunning and dramatic. The local bus service was good and reliable so we could walk one way and catch the bus back. Tintagel is an easy walk from Paradise Farm and Crackington Haven is an achievement 😎

Excellent cottage in a perfect location. Jayce and Hannah were great hosts, would definitely recommend to anyone planning at trip to St Ives. I will be back 😊

Lovely place, very nice and responsive hosts, great stay overall, would recommend!

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.

Such a calm place you have, the space you have is ample. Everything is provided so you don’t have to worry about anything. The grounds and gardens are stunning. I didn’t shut any blinds and left the door to the garden open through the night. Being woken by the birds singing at 5.30 felt nothing short of a blessing. Even heard the Cuckoo tapping away. I went down each morning and evening and had a chat with the chickens who always had something to say. Loved it, didn’t want to leave.

I’ve used Air BnB quite a few times now in the UK and have never been let down so far, but I can easily say that River Cottage at Carbis Mill is the best stay I’ve ever had. The cottage is beautiful, clean, with every amenity you could want and feels very indulgent for two people. The outside space is very large and a real bonus. As a host, Adrian struck the balance of being always available but never being overbearing. Just brilliant from a warm and generous welcome to a fond farewell. I really can’t fault anything about it. This morning I was woken by traffic noise and went in my overlooked garden as a police or ambulance siren blared past. I wished I was back at River Cottage.

Very shortly after arriving I received a very warm welcome from Ian and Clare. I could park directly next to the cottage, which had a lovely secure & compact garden, so I knew the dogs were safe & sound. The well-maintained and good-sized paddock is brilliant for the dogs to have a quick runaround & chase the toys that can be borrowed from inside the well-equipped laundry room. Wren Cottage was pristine, with everything needed for a warm & comfortable stay. There are two very comfortable armchairs. There was always hot water and plenty of storage space in the kitchen. The dog biscuits & human treats were an unexpected and very welcome touch. The maps and local information package was very useful. The cottage is only a 10-15-min walk from the beautiful St Nectan's Glen, and a little further down the road, you can pick up the coast path & walk through Rocky Valley and into Tintagel. There is a shorter route to Tintagel if preferred. Boscastle & other places v accessible by car & bus.

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 🧡

fantastic host and great place to stay with a group, the host and co host are always on hand to help. I would recommend for anyone and definitely stay again.

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
