Kid-friendly vacation rentals in Saint Merryn

Before we had checked out, we had reserved for next year. A superb property, in a beautiful, quiet location, but is just 10 minutes walk away from bars and restaurants. 1 minute walk from a beach, next door to an historic ancient church and absolutely idyllic. Highly recommended.

We had a fantastic stay in a great location. The beaches at Constantine Bay and Harlyn Bay were stunning—and both less than a 10-minute drive away. We enjoyed it so much we didn’t even feel the need to visit Newquay as we had originally planned. The house is just a 3-minute walk from St Merryn’s shops, cafes, bakery, and pub, making everything really convenient. There’s also a small park nearby, perfect for children. Padstow Harbour is only a short drive away, and MacDonald Farm—with its excellent playground, farm animals, and open space for kids—is also under 10 minutes away. The house itself was very clean, comfortable, and well-equipped with everything we needed to cook dinner each evening. Helen was friendly, responsive, and easy to communicate with. We’d happily return and would definitely recommend it to others.

Have stayed here 3 times now & we just love St Merryn! The location is perfect for all the beautiful beaches & Padstow! The house has everything you could need & is modern & spacious. We will definitely return next year & would recommend to anyone who loves Cornwall.

We had a lovely time away. Alison and Craig are amazing hosts, very helpful, we appreciated all the recommendations. They make sure everything is up to your standards and want you to feel at home, which we really did. This beautiful place has all the facilities you need. The view is breathtaking and the bbq is a perfect touch. We enjoyed drinks at the local pub with the view of the beach, the beach is lovely and peaceful. The food and cocktails at the local restaurant are also amazing!

Absolutely loved our stay at Dans place, anything we needed him and Gary were super responsive and helpful! Would highly recommend!

Jennifer’s place was great, everything you need. The place was clean and smelt lovely throughout. Location was perfect, a car is essential but as are most places in Cornwall, padstow and other local dog friendly beaches nearby. I left a pair of earrings behind and Jennifer messaged to check if they were mine and said she would post them out to me, she was responsive and friendly.

We had the most wonderful stay in St Agnes — such a quaint and friendly village with some amazing places to eat (don’t miss The Cornish Pizza Company!). St Agnes Head at sunset was truly stunning, and the whole village was incredibly dog friendly — our elderly companion was warmly welcomed everywhere we went. There are gorgeous short walks perfect for a gentle potter, and it’s clear there are longer routes for the more adventurous too. As for The Bower Barn — it was an absolute dream! The place had everything we needed and more. The vibes were spot-on: cozy, stylish, and completely relaxing. The enclosed garden was huge and felt so private and safe — especially appreciated coming from London. We were lucky with the weather and loved being able to open all the skylights upstairs to let the breeze in. We stayed for three nights and genuinely didn’t want to leave. I already wish we’d booked for longer — and we’re already planning our return. Can’t recommend it enough!

What a wonderful find. We met at Tygwella for a family holiday, some of us coming from Australia and some from Manchester. The house was ideal. It was spacious so we could occupy different “wings” with our own bathrooms and come together for meals, chat and play. The house was very generously supplied with basic provisions, kitchen and laundry equipment. We wanted for nothing. Having two ovens was great for cooking adult and children’s meals. The location was so peaceful with great views and easy access to the coast path and beach.

Mark was super accommodating and helpful for an easy no stress stay. He graciously provided some breakfast items that helped get quickly started with our day of sightseeing in beautiful Cornwall.

Spacious flat with absolutely beautiful view. Friendly and responsive hosts and lovely and clean place, with lots of space for our 4 person family. Parking space is a bonus and very convenient. Thanks for making my 40th birthday so special! We love this part of Newquay and have stayed at Crest Court (in various airbnbs) for 5 years now every May - it’s great.

Had an amazing weekend in st Ives thanks to Paul who sent instructions beforehand and upon arrival the place was immaculate. Beds were super comfy my 5 year old even slept in which is VERY unlike him🤣 Great location restaurants are 5⭐️ And the views from the apartment you could watch all day and the beaches are beautiful Would definitely recommend if your looking to book :)

Loved it! Fantastic location, clean & comfortable space with a great view. Really appreciated the excellent dining recommendations as we loved the Fish House and Fort restaurants. Also liked Lost Brewery for beer and burgers. If interested in a bit of an excursion, or otherwise find yourself in the south eastern part of Cornwall, you have to check out the Hidden Hut near Truro.

Just got home after a 4 day stay at The Wheatstore and am jumping on the 5 star review bandwagon. Just the loveliest of stays, beautiful accommodation that felt just like home. A 2 minute drive or a 20 minute walk to Polzeath beach. Clare & Mike are lovely people and happy to help if you need anything. Will definitely be back. Our new home from home 🥰

Lovely spot just a walk from the beach. The outdoor balcony space was welcomed when the sun was shining after a long day walking. We had everything we needed! Rachel was great with recommendations and quick to respond if we had any questions or needed anything

From start to finish our stay was absolutely amazing. The view is every bit as good as the pictures. We were there in June and the sun didn’t set until 9.30pm, drinks on the patio were a nightly thing while we watched the tide come in as the sun went down. The apartment is pretty much at the top of a reasonably steep hill, but even with my knee problems I managed to go up 2 or 3 times a day. As you walk up the hill past the Seiners Arms (great pub, good food with beautiful patio). you can see Perranporth Beach in its entirety. Absolutely stunning. The town has everything you need like a Co-Op, Launderette, pubs, restaurant, beach / surf wear shops. Things do shut down earlier than we expected (around 9pm) but it was June so not peak season yet. The apartment is spacious, you come in through the back door into a large kitchen with all the appliances etc that you’d need. 2 bedrooms, a large lounge with TV. I thoroughly recommend this place. Hannah was an exceptional host too.

We had a wonderful weeks stay for our honeymoon in this lovely and peaceful place that felt just like being at home. Cara was fantastic and really helpful and communicative - completely understanding and accommodating when we found out we’d be bringing our newborn along with us too! Location is beautiful and just as described with lots of lovely places to visit whilst staying. Just the perfect stay. Thank you!

We had a lovely week in Emily & Matt's flat. We liked that you can walk into town but also to Fistral beach & quieter areas. Great views - I enjoyed relaxing, reading in the bay window. I treated myself to swim & breakfast at Headland hotel (special offer).

Fantastic return visit, look forward to rebooking for our next trip! We love this place. All the best!

My daughter and I stayed for a few days and the apartment was perfect. Great location, very close to shops, restaurants and the beach. Apartment was clean, tidy and looked exactly like the photos. View was beautiful! Has everything you would need. Paul was very helpful and quick to respond to any questions I had. We had an amazing few days in St Ives and will definitely be staying at the apartment again in the future.

100% would recommend!! Beautiful house, perfect location for the beach, town and supermarkets. Laura is a lovely and caring host. Would love to stay again, couldn’t ask for more. 😊😊😊

Modern spacious flat in a great location. The facilities were excellent and we appreciated the private car park. We would definitely stay here again in the future!

We were lucky enough to spend seven days in Beth's beautiful apartment. Now we say goodbye with a smile and a tear in our eye. The tear in our eye says "time to say goodbye," even though we don't want to leave just yet. The smile in our eye expresses our enthusiasm for our stay. We received a warm welcome; we lacked nothing. Beth has thought of everything. The apartment is a dream. And so is the view from the terrace. You could spend hours there, unwinding and watching the hustle and bustle on the beach. If you don't know Perranporth, you should definitely visit this little town. But even if you want to come back again, you should let this accommodation convince you. A big thank you to Beth and Mark.

We had a lovely one night stay here. The kitchen was well stocked with tea/coffee and the doughnuts were a delicious extra! The bed is super comfy with soft bedding which makes for the perfect spot to watch tv! Jon was also quick to reply and extremely helpful. Would definitely recommend staying here!

This is a fabulous and comfortable apartment from which to explore Newquay and Cornwall. With water views, a great open plan living, dining and kitchen space and a generous bedroom, it had everything we needed for a 7 night stay. The hosts were welcoming and generous. This is one of the best bnbs we have stayed in.
