Vacation rentals with a fireplace in Porthtowan

Wow - what an amazing place to stay! This is probably the most memorable AirBnB I have stayed in so far. You are right on the edge of the seafront and by the harbour, with the double aspect living room enabling you to see both - the sea views are just stunning. Margaret was a really friendly and communicative host, and the parking space is good. I would heartily recommend this as a great place to stay; it is just so special being able to look out and see the sea from bed, and to hear the waves lapping at the shore as you go to sleep or make your cup of tea in the morning.

A beautiful retreat in a stunning location. The cottage was beautifully presented, clean and welcoming. Not only that but the hosts also are very generous and add additional touches - lovely Bread, butter, fudge, milk,wine- which is lovely to arrive to. The location is fantastic, just by the beach. A stunning location. We had such a wonderful stay and would recommend to anyone, we would definitely stay again.

Lovely stay at Ems place. Ideal location to get to different areas of Cornwall and a 5 min walk from the shops. Really lovely views, a real treat to be able to look at the sea and at Michael’s mount when having breakfast. Very clean and great amenities. Em herself was very responsive, very friendly and super helpful. Great for the dogs too. Thanks!

Absolutely loved our stay! The host was fantastic, the surroundings were stunning, and everything about the booking process was effortless. Had a truly wonderful time—already planning to return!

Absolutely beautiful house . Stunning views down to the beach . The house is well decorated with everything you could need . Pretty garden and nice sun trap at the bottom in the sofas . The house is at the top of a steep hill and no operating his route at that time . I had no problem walking the short trip to the front but as I travelled with elderly parents the hill was a bit too much for them . But so easy to just pop them in the car and drive down . Stunning beach’s and walks all around

We really enjoyed staying here as a group of five adults and 1 toddler. Plenty of room for us all and having 2 bathrooms was really great. The cabin is comfy and cosy, with beautiful views of the Cornish countryside. We used the cabin as a base to explore Cornwall as it is located centrally within easy reach of many popular towns. We loved coming back to the cabin in the evening and using the hot tub and waking up to the very friendly alpacas! You do have to drive up a very narrow and steep lane to reach the cabin but we were lucky that the lane is very quiet and so we never met any oncoming traffic. We would absolutely recommend and would love to return one day.

We had a great experience staying here! The space was clean, comfortable, and exactly as described. The hosts were welcoming and responsive, making the check-in process smooth and stress-free. It was a relaxing and enjoyable stay — I’d definitely book again and recommend it to others!

We had a really wonderful stay in Polvenna beachhouse. The house is clean, spacious and light, with a cosy, beachy interior. The beds and showers are great and the kitchen is very well equipped. We all loved the amazing view and the sound of the waves when lying in bed at night. It was really magical. Porthtowan has a great beach. We loved the rockpool and rented surfboards. The village store is a short walk down and sells fresh bread. Nearby St. Agnes is lovely and has some great restaurants. This is a good place to visit the rest of Cornwall from. Don’t hesitate to book!

Just what was needed. Peaceful, beautiful location with a lovely host on hand to offer advice and answer any questions. Great walks, places to visit and good local food. Would definitely recommend anyone staying here.

Really great communication, the place has excellent views and the location is perfect. Thank you for letting us stay also with our puppy.

Sarah has been an excellent host in every way. The boathouse itself is beautiful and extremely quiet being left in total peace. Our dog loved it and felt like he was at home! The drive through the narrow roads to get to the secluded location is worth it!

It is a great space this airbnb has been understated. I have just left Nigels very large accomodation to arrive at my next airbnb only to find it bijou to be polite! and certainly not in such a lovely location. In comparison this similarly priced accomodation woud fit into Nigels 5 times.

As soon as we walked through that door we could see the beautiful sea and we were just in awe of the place. The location is 10/10, the apartment is stunning and so quiet and we didn’t really notice that we had neighbours which was lovely and made it feel private which is what we look for in a place. Cornwall as whole as well is just stunning and we HIGHLY recommend this place to anyone looking at it. We have found a special place and we will hopefully come back again and again. This is our happy place. We were so sad to leave as we had such a beautiful holiday. A lot of special memories made. The parking was very good, covered and easy to use, self check in is favourable, the checking in and out time is reasonable and the communication was very good. The train is so useful and we actually enjoyed watching that go by, the walking is amazing, the beach is beautiful, the views from the window and patio are amazing. The sofas and bed are very comfortable which is rare. Thank you so much.

Jeremy and Rachel's places is a great place to stay. a beautiful area to relax. Jeremy was very knowledgeable and had great recommendations on places to visit and see

Perfectly situated and a beautiful place to stay. Claire responded really fast with any queries I had. The apartment is gorgeous! I felt relaxed and like I was at home. The apartment has everything anyone would need for a perfect stay. I found some lovely local shops and have bought a few things to remind me of my visit. Would highly recommend the Happy Piranha for some quirky fun gifts! I will definitely be visiting again! Thank you so much Claire, you are an excellent host.

My four night stay at Jeremy's unit was a welcome retreat. The unit is very well set up for a self sufficient stay with nice views from the front window. The full kitchen made it easy to make full meals and appreciated him having some coffee and other basics available for my use. the bed was quite comfortable and the living room area was great to cozy up in during a bit of wet weather that was in the area one day. While there is a bus stop near the unit I found it quite easy to walk with my backpack from the train station to the unit along the coast which took maybe 20-25 minutes. It was a very relaxing stay with good selection of restaurants and things to do in the area.

lovely setting with a gorgeous airbnb! perfect for a group of friends celebrating 🙌 the hot tub and sauna were a perfect touch for a coastal location. We could walk to the sea and there were so many fun activities that Three Mile Beach helped us organise. 10/10 would recommend!

We were so impressed with all the staff who were so friendly and helpful. Nothing was too much trouble and they responded to everything really quickly. The property (Strawberry Fields) was beautiful and furnished in an original and tasteful way. Everything was considered. We had all we needed. The hot tub was well used by us all. Even though we were surrounded by other properties it still felt completely private. The location was excellent being so close to the beach. We all had an amazing holiday (including the dog) and felt that we had a week of real luxury.

I write on a personal note as well (to show how amazing the hosts were). The night after we arrived my parents’ dog, Mollie went missing. Kaye and Lindsey pulled out all the stops to help search for her. Sadly the day before we left, the dog was found but it wasn’t a good outcome. But they’d joined in the search intensely all week, organising local people to come help, a farmer to help with cutting back vegetation, searching at various hours of the day in an effort to find Mollie. They really were brilliant.

We can't recommend Lindsey and Kaye's place enough! Beautiful surroundings in peace and quiet, perfect for our dog to run around and enjoy the land. The hot tub was used every evening and was a real treat after a long day of walking, it was also tucked away and private which made it more relaxing and enjoyable (not all hot tubs in Airbnb's are!). The comfty bed, massive rain shower, stunning kitchen/lounge area were all incredible, but having the views, open space,, and all the little touches that Lindsey and Kaye have added are what make this stay special. Lindsey showed us around and was always on hand to chat and recommend things/give helpful advice, and Kaye was kind enough to show us how the pizza oven works and make sure we were okay! As I said, I can't recommend this place enough, especially if you have a dog (ours loved playing with their beautiful dog, Dodger). The pictures don't do it justice! Quick recommendations: Praa Sands, Porthcurno Beach & Minack Theatre - must see!

fabulous location, great accommodation, spotlessly clean and the best welcome basket weeve ever had!

Extremely well equipped, welcoming, super clean, plenty of instructions and information about the house and area. Comfortable beds, tastefully decorated, super garden, plenty of parking, great hot tub, acres of storage, what wasn’t to like!

This is a beautiful, clean and well located property. The view of the harbor each morning was spectacular and it was very convenient to all Falmouth activities. Sandra was very communicative before and during the stay and gave great recommendations for local spots to dine. We thoroughly enjoyed our family’s stay and hope to have the opportunity to return.
