Cottage holiday rentals in Helston

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.

We absolutely loved our stay – the amenities were top-notch and the decoration throughout the space was beautiful and thoughtfully curated. Kate was incredibly responsive to any messages and went above and beyond with lots of lovely personal touches that made us feel truly welcome. Highly recommend booking the wellness concierge experience – it added such a special, relaxing element to our trip. Also, don’t miss a visit to The Pig at Harlyn Bay – the food and atmosphere were amazing. Would definitely stay again – thank you, Kate!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Fantastic Stay in Perranporth! Loved our stay here — spotless, stylish, and super comfy. The location was perfect: peaceful, yet close to the beach and town. The hot tub was a real highlight, especially after long coastal walks. Great hosts — we’ll definitely be back!

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!

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.

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 cottage was very clean and comfortable. We loved relaxing in the warm conservatory after our days out walking. Easy walking access to SW coast path and within 15 minutes car ride of Penzance and St Just.

Had a wonderful stay at Sue's very comfortable & cosy cottage. It was magical & so peaceful to wake up every morning seeing the sun & sea. Sue is a great host, very helpful & available. Taken away some very happy memories, we'll definitely be coming back. Thanks Sue

We had a great stay here in the village of Sticker. It is on the main bus route from St Austell to Truro, so was very easy to get to from the train station (which is next to the bus station). Steve & Sue were very welcoming and helpful, and the cottage had everything we needed for our 12 day stay. There is a pub and a village shop/post office a short walk away, so very convenient. We hired a car and found it very easy to get about as we were so central. It was lovely to come back after a day’s sightseeing to the peace and quiet of our cosy cottage (and sit in the garden when the weather permitted!). We would not hesitate to recommend Steve’s cottage!

This was a fabulous find! Such a delightful home with excellent facilities. Very good kitchen and bathroom, comfortable bed - maybe too comfortable and so peaceful. Good shop in walking distance and close to wonderful beaches too. Really perfect.

Great place for a 2 night break from the rain! Annette was really responsive and helpful! Would definitely recommend!

Absolutely stunning! spent a week here and it's the loveliest little spot, small but perfectly sized for 2 and a dog. Absolutely lovely host, left little treats for us on arrival and had recommendations in the area but also not intrusive. The cottage itself is perfect, so homey and had everything we could need. we used the log burner every evening while playing one of the board games provided and it was so cozy and nice. The area is absolutely wonderful, beautiful views, path right down to the beach, and so many lovely walks right of the door, we did the majority of our daily outings as a straight walk from the cottage and watched the sunset from the beach each night. the photos really do not do this place justice, it is truly absolutely stunning and we would LOVE to return !

Fabulous cottage with everything you need. John and Jane were great host, very friendly and helpful. There was a lovely hamper with all the essentials plus some tasty treats. Everything was spotlessly clean, including the hot tub. Perfect spot for exploring West Cornwall.

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 .

Great host and property had everything our engineers needed for their week stay. Would recommend

Perfect location in Porthleven, a short walk from the harbour and beach. Porthleven itself is ideally situated for exploring many of the surrounding areas by car. The property itself was clean, comfortable, and well-equipped, perfect for our visit. We would happily stay again on a future trip to Cornwall!

We had a really lovely stay at Apple loft, Alison was so friendly and great with communication. She added lots of personal touches, which was greatly appreciated. We brought our 6 month old and there was plenty of space around the bed for a travel cot, and Alison supplied a high chair. Alison sent her recommended places in the local area before we arrived, which was really helpful. We’d definitely recommend to anyone visiting the local area x

A lovely cottage in the grounds of the owners property but private and peaceful. Nice decked area at the rear with lovely views. Well equipped, comfortable and spacious for two plus our dog. Helston was a good base to explore from, there’s a lovely walk into Porthleven via the Penrose estate. Ideal for visits to all the points of interest in the area. Would recommend.

We had a lovely stay at Juliet’s Airbnb. It was peaceful and the cottage was spacious, bright and homely. Juliet is a very friendly and helpful host. Very happy few days away. 😊

We stayed for a week with our pooch. The cottage was beautiful. Little finishing touches such as plants, cling film, everything was well thought out and beautifully clean. We took a couple of blankets to cover the leather sofa and bed from dog hairs and scratches out of respect, but everything else you could possibly need for your stay was there. The plants and cream tea when you arrive was a lovely touch. We had a wonderful stay and despite the seagulls that never seem to sleep, cannot wait to come back again. Porthleven is a lovely place and a brilliant location to explore Cornwall. We cannot wait to return. Thank you Susan for a wonderful week in your beautiful cottage.
