Cottage vacation rentals in Saint Ives Bay

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!

We loved our stay in this cottage! It has such a cosy homely feel and is equipped with everything you’d need! The bed was super comfy and it was nice to have a tv in both bedrooms and the living space! The hot tub area was gorgeous and a great place to unwind and relax, very private area! Shaun the host was super friendly and very responsive! We couldn’t fault this place - amazing value for money. Would recommend and would love to return in the future!

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.

Lovely place. Views are amazing. All the amenities that you could need. Hot tub was perfect with stunning views. Definitely will be coming back again in future

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 had the most wonderful stay at Tallulah Cottage. It is the perfect pad for a Cornish getaway. The cottage itself has a well-equipped and spacious kitchen, a relaxing living area, cosy mezzanine bedroom and squeaky-clean bathroom. Outside there is a small garden area opposite the cottage but admittedly there is a road between this and the cottage and we did notice some cars/vans driving up it very quickly so had to be careful with letting our pooch wander. Susie was extremely friendly and I’d definitely recommend this accommodation for anyone wanting to explore far SW Cornwall.

We had a lovely stay at Gardeners Cottage which was clean, warm and cosy. A very comfortable bed with fresh linen and towels. Set in very peaceful surroundings and my grandson loved visiting the chickens. The cottage contained everything that was needed for a comfortable stay including dishwasher and washing machine. We didn’t have the best weather during our stay so it was lovely to come back to the cottage which was warm and cosy to relax in. Being Dog friendly was the icing on the cake A lovely time was had by all

Perfect little cottage located off a quiet street. Shop, chippy and Asda really close and also free parking within a short walk. Very accurate description and the place contained everything you would need. Dave and Kel were great hosts and check in and check out were smooth. Will hopefully return next time I visit Cornwall.

Nic was very quick to respond to all my questions and gave perfect directions to the cottage. The cottage was absolutely perfect! Wonderful high ceilings, plenty of space for us, kitchen was well stocked with an absolutely lovely welcome basket that we enjoyed on the outside patio. Opening the windows and feeling the fresh air and hearing the sea was perfect. The bed was very comfortable; bedding and pillows were perfect. Nothing at all to say negative about the cottage. Literally perfect in every way for us. The center of Marazion was only a few minutes to walk to and had so much to offer. We truly enjoyed our stay here so very much and have fallen in love with Marazion and the friendly people. Definitely recommend and will plan on visiting again!

The place is really central, almost too central if you prefer somewhere more quiet and spacious. However this is just personal preference. It was a very nice place and 1 min from the beach.

Fabulous find! Beautiful Cornish home that is spotlessly clean, welcoming, easy to find, and located in the historic heart of Mousehole. I’ve travelled many places and am an Air BnB super host myself, and StarHaze is one of the best homes I’ve found. A real gem. Jayne has thought of the small details that make travelling easier — crisp linens, plush cotton towels and towel warmer, a footstool by the easy chair, washer & dryer. Even two electric fans to help clear out the damp air after arriving. I felt immediately welcome. Location is one block from the harbor, and dinner and cheese platter at the Old Coastguard Hotel were both excellent. There are 2 more restaurants right by StarHaze that I would have liked to try. I walked the coastal path, hopped on the bus to Marazion, and just enjoyed every minute. Thank you!

Lovely cottage crammed with period features and charm. Fabulous host, really attentive and communicated pro actively. The location made it, you step out of the garden onto the Chappel Valley path which follows the steam, that flows through your garden, down to Chappel Porth Cove which is amazing. If the Cove looks like nothing special then it's high tide, when the tide goes out its miles of golden sand and hidden caves, stunning. Lovely coastal walk to StAgnes which is a lovely place to explore, so many lovely places to eat. The dressed crab at the Tap House is amazing. Arrival was lovely, Laura had left us a locally sourced cream tea, local teas and coffees, fresh flowers, even shampoos for our dog, so thoughtful. We absolutely loved our stay thank you

We stayed in the cottage for 5 days. The garden was like a small, beautiful paradise, someone has very green fingers. The tub and views were amazing. Inside the cottage was exceptionally clean, with all the amenities you would ever need, of a high quality. Great comfy bed too. Excellent location for exploration. Very friendly and homely pub 1 min walk away. Good parking. Why are you reading the reviews? Book now, it’s fantastic! Thank you Ashley.

The house was lovely clean and well laid out. Rebecca herself was very very helpful and proactive providing help and instruction. We will certainly be back at some point

Just returned after staying 4 nights at the smithy & we had a lovely time whilst there. Kassie is an amazing host & always on hand to help with any enquiries or with local knowledge. The smithy is idealic & has everything that you need for a few days away, Kassie also made an amazing lemon drizzle cake upon our arrival which didn’t last very long! We would definitely stay here again when visiting Cornwall, loved every minute of it.

This is a lovely countryside location which is walking distance from the beach . It’s tastefully furnished, spotlessly clean, spacious and everything I needed. Rachel was quick to reply when we needed to be flexible with the dates and also welcoming when we arrived .

Lovely place to stay for my Birthday with friends ❤️

Our second stay at the Loft, and just as great as the first. Lovely cottage, very well equipped, super comfy bed and very nicely decorated. Great communication with Neil throughout, we'd highly recommend a stay here. Mousehole as lovely as ever, thanks for a great stay!

Lovely restyled traditional fisherman’s cottage in quaint alley way in the heart of Newlyn. Quiet location just minute’s walk from harbour, restaurants, great independent cinema & a few quirky shops. Cottage very well equipped for home cooking & eating in as well as for toiletries, extra towels, cleaning products etc. Flexible bed options. There wasn’t anything we wanted or missed except a dedicated nearby parking space. We knew parking might be tricky or costly beforehand but host helpful re options & we found free on-street spaces at all times so not an issue. Newlyn is not commercialised or frantic as is St Ives & has its own low key charm. We walked to surrounding attractions - Mousehole, Penzance, St Michael’s Mount, Penzance lido & used local buses (stops only meters from cottage) &/or trains to Minack Theatre, Porthcurno beach, St Ives. Natasha is a very friendly & responsive host & cottage also has supply of info on things to do, places to eat, etc. We loved it!

The Hidden Gem was really family friendly and comfortable. It has a beautiful interior and was really clean. Orange roofs are friendly and professional, the basket on arrival was a lovely touch. The garden is a real bonus too. I particularly liked how they left cleaning products that made a 7 night stay really comfortable with children. Highly recommend!

Nadine’s cottage is a gem of a place in Newlyn. It’s the perfect place to stay for a couple and has everything you need for a relaxing break. Plenty of great places to eat in Newlyn and Mousehole is a lovely walk or short bus journey away. Highly recommend.
