Harbour View 500m from the beach!
We stayed at Vanessa’s to walk the St. Michael’s Way from Lelant to Marazion. The property was perfect for our needs, cosy and comfortable. The kitchen/living area was perfect for an evening cuppa and very well equipped. It was peaceful and had great views. St. Ives is a fabulous place, with amazing beaches (great for cold water swimming in Feb!). We loved the Thai restaurant (recommended by Vanessa - thank you!) and The Sloop Inn (c1312) was a lovely ‘real’ pub with a great atmosphere. Many thanks, we would thoroughly recommend and hope to visit again. Nicola and Lizzy (London and Stamford)

Sunset @ Lusty Glaze - Sea Views & Private Parking
We recently had the pleasure of staying at this wonderful apartment, and we can’t recommend it highly enough! From the moment we arrived, we were impressed by the attention to detail. The space was impeccably clean, beautifully decorated, and equipped with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Perfect location for a relaxing stay in Newquay 👌

Carrick View Harbourside Apartment
This beautiful apartment overlooks Falmouth Docks, in walking distance of amazing restaurants and the perfect sports bar right next door with an outdoor beer garden and TVs! The apartment itself is exactly as you see in the photos. Spacious and has all the amenities you could possibly need. The bedrooms are extremely clean and I can’t recommend this place enough for you Falmouth stay.

Lapwing - Apartment with stunning harbour view.
Our stay at Lapwing was nothing short of excellent, for a very fair price we enjoyed 4 days and 3 nights worth of stay. The flat was beautifully presented with lovely views over the harbour, clean living space and plenty of information regarding the local area, my partner and I were very happy with the recommendations and got to experience almost all that Janet had recommended (good local pubs, a few lovely restaurants and great points of interest). The flat, despite being near a road, was peaceful and quiet and the balcony area overlooking the harbour made mornings extra special for us. Janet herself was an exceptional host, attentive, friendly and helpful. We didn’t have much contact as the information she provided for us was all encompassing, making us feel comfortable to go and explore. When we did contact Janet, she was very helpful, especially with checking out, wishing us a safe trip and allowing us to keep our bags at the flat whilst we enjoyed our final day, a nice touch

Waterside apartment, Vi-spring king bed, parking
This apartment was lovely. It was clean and had everything I needed. It is Right in the centre of town. Close to all the shops and restaurants. I look forward to staying again in the future.

Modern studio apartment with stunning sea views!
We had a lovely stay! Apartment is just by the beach and on the same street as all the shops - fantastic location! Getting to the car park and in and out of town is generally very tricky but follow maps and Pauls instructions! Highly recommend and we would definitely come back :)

Sail Loft with views over lake, balcony & parking
The Sail Loft was clean and well equipped with a lovely view of the lake. It was ideal for our next section of the South West Coast Path. Jen was a friendly and responsive host willing to share information and answer questions. No hesitation in recommending the property.

Waves at The Beach House
Lovely apartment, perfect for a weekend away. Just steps from the beach with an amazing view. The place was spotless and had everything you need. The bed was super comfortable. We had a perfect time and will definitely be back. Thank you

Turnstone
We had a wonderful stay here with incredible views out to the sea and a lovely small wild beach a couple of minutes walk away.

Tides Reach - Lovely beach house 100 from beach
We loved our week at Tides Reach. Very clean, spacious, comfortable and well equipped . It had everything we could need and more! Perfect location, just yards from the beach and amenities, with private parking. Dominic was a great host, kept us informed and easy to contact. Highly recommended!

The Anchorage, Portmellon, Mevagissey
We stayed at The Anchorage for a few days whilst visiting Cornwall for a family funeral. The house was great and a haven to escape the reality. Everything we needed was provided and the views were outstanding. Thank you Matthew.

The Slipway Fowey Harbour, Parking 1 Min & Garden
We had a perfect out-of-season stay at Neil's house with our four parents who are all in their 80s and have fond memories of Fowey. The house was clean, light and comfortable with beautiful relaxing views from the front rooms. Plenty of space for 6 people without anyone feeling on top of one another. Easily walkable into the town centre with all its shops & restaurants. Parking was close - and good value following Neil's advice to get a weekly ticket. Access to the front door up the slope might be a bit challenging for the older or disabled visitor but our sprightly octogenarians managed it with determination and the wind behind them!

Stepping stones 3 bedroom house.
Lynn was an excellent host, super responsive. The place was very welcoming, a great home base for a few days with lovely views. Has everything we needed for a baby too. If you’re not driving note that it’s up quite a steep hill!

Looe, Quayside house with views. Sleeps 6
Lovely situation and great spacious accomodation for 6 of us. House was beautifully furnished, clean and well equipped. We had a lovely boat trip around Looe Island. Fabulous walks from Looe along the coast, both east and west and river valley.

Waterfront holiday home in Fowey
Mark was great a communication before , during and after our visit His place is pristine and attention to detail was superb All the bedrooms are spacious and spotless as with the whole property The outside balcony was a massive plus for me sitting out watching harbour life evolve and pass , I can’t recommend this property enough if you want a nice chilled holiday in a great setting this is the place 5 stars in my eyes

Traditional fisherman's cottage
Lovely cottage in a great location right on the harbourside. Could not fault cottage and amenities. All great. My only feedback would be maybe some instructions re the rubbish as wasn't sure where the outside bin was and recycling. My only other comment is on Mousehole itself at Christmas lights time. It got so busy we had to be back at the cottage by 3.30 latest to try and get a parking space and even that involves waiting for someone to leave. you just have to plan around that. Overall had a great time... thank you

CLIFF EDGE apartment with stunning seaview
Had a four night stay with my wife, children and parents, 6 of us in total. A great space for this amount of people for sure especially as the apartment offered 2 and a half bathrooms and two secure parking spaces. Place was clean upon arrival, and housekeeper Tracey was very friendly and welcoming as we did get in touch regarding a couple of things. Just for anyone who are fans of views to be aware of the only drawback was the scaffolding on the building which of course is temporary. It's currently partially obstructing the views from the apartment, completely blocking views from the dining area and slightly overhanging the balcony area, we were however made aware of this prior to arrival. Both Karen the host and Tracey the housekeeper were great at communicating, very friendly and accommodating where possible. We made Tracey aware the high chair wasn't at the property upon arrival and this was quickly fixed would recommend as hosts for sure and feel you can book with confidence.

The Old Gas Works on the Harbour
Stayed for 4 days for my wife's 40th birthday, the apartment was easy to find with parking permit available, front door is however on a main road but we were aware of this due to knowing the area. Kitchen was well equipped for our stay, our bed and the our sons beds were very comfy. Big telly with netflix and NowTV and warming log burner. Location was close to transport links (bus and trains), 10 minutes walk to Gilbert's beach bar and salt bar, local pub across the road and numerous takeaways (including a Chinese and domino's) within walking distance. Asda supermarket and Lidl 5 minute drive away

Stylish 1 Bed Apartment in East Looe, Cornwall
This is the 7th time we have stayed in Looe using AirBnB, being a bit of a "busman's holiday" for us coming from another Cornish holiday village and Gemma's place was in an ideal location, very close to a carpark in between two great fresh bakeries for breakfast bread and cakes . The apartment was clean and fully equipped with all you would need and great WiFi and TV / streaming services - It also has a great view. Would totally recommend staying there

Elegant apartment within historic Admiralty House
Thoroughly recommend this lovely apartment, it has everything you need, its very comfortable and spotlessly clean, it has secure parking, the little extras like tea, coffee, milk in the fridge butter and bread are much appreciated. Nicola is a great host and her communication with you is great. We will be back later in the year. Jan and allan.

Lovely 2 Bed Apartment by the Marina, Falmouth.
Harry is the best possible kind of host. He’s friendly, very responsive and extremely communicative. His apartment is beautiful and very easy to use. The ONLY drawback that I have is nothing to do with Harry - the neighbourhood itself is a very private and quiet village and we were given a list in the lift requesting that we be very quiet. Aside from that - Harry is amazing and you will not find a better host. Thank you Harry!

Harbour View Falmouth
Beautiful flat nestled right in the heart of Falmouth. Flat was exactly as described in the description and photographs. It was lovely and warm (without the need of putting the heating on), constant hot water, beautifully accessorised and Elly has clearly thought of all her guests needs whilst they would be staying there - the snack basket was a great welcome for my hungry teenager too. Would definitely stay again when visiting my daughter at University. Thank you Elly.

*last min offer*Luxury beach aprtment; sea views
Stayed here over the New Year period and it was perfect. Great location, the sea view was spectacular and the log burner was a great addition given the cold weather. Local pubs were so friendly and food was great. Will definitely return, thank you.

Fistral Beach Apartment: 'Best view in Newquay'
Amazing flat in stunning location. Andy and Nicola were brilliant hosts. Would definitely stay again!
