Cottage holiday rentals in Isles of Scilly

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!

A great place to stay,very quiet village,friendly host. Perfect spot for exploring Cornwall. Thank you Shaun we will definitely be back .

We had the most wonderful time.The location of the property is great for exploring and the setting so peaceful! The pictures perhaps did not do it full justice as it was even better!being in a bath over looking the countryside was next level! Clare was very clear on the whole process of how to get to the property,check in,ideas for places to visit and things to do.The personalised written message and goodies are special touches that mean a lot so thank you!cannot praise everything about our stay enough!we hope to be back!X

Lovely cottage in a stunning location. Excellent hosting, nice welcome treat (thanks!). The kitchen had everything we needed for our stay, we catered in and didn't eat out at all. The lounge is comfortable but sadly the weather was far too warm to justify lighting the log burner! Wifi was great, we streamed a film one evening without issue. The location is incredible, loads of walks directly from the door, including up to castle ruins just at the top of the hill. To be able to stomp up the hill to the prehistoric stones and watch the sun set over the sea, then stroll back down at dusk to sit in the hot tub and watch the stars come out, was truly magical.

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.

Our stay was lovely. Tracy’s cottage was absolutely immaculate and inviting Felt warm and comfortable with thoughtful touches like fresh flowers,scones and chocolates 😊 Tracy was a pleasure to communicate with as well. Warm and responsive I could tell she was a warm and kind hearted person right from the get go

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!

Had a lovely stay in the hideaway at Tregoose Old Mill. It’s in a peaceful, remote location down a small country lane but easy to access Newquay and surrounding areas with a car. The sauna and hot tub are great additions to a lovely spacious cottage with what feels like your own private gardens. Cookies and eggs from the roaming chickens provided by Dean were a lovely touch!

We stayed at Mellinzeath 28 years ago for a week of our honeymoon, and decided to revisit for our anniversary. What a transformation! The property has been restored beautifully and sympathetically, and now feels loved again. Everything - the materials used for the fabric of the building, fixtures, fittings and equipment - is of excellent quality, and there are many little touches which make it extra welcoming. Even Obi, our dog, had his own welcome pack and a warm shower outside. This is a very special property in a tranquil, secluded setting, with nothing but the birds for company. Wish it had been like this for our honeymoon.....

An enjoyable stay in a secluded area. WiFi in the area is patchy, get ready to unplug from the matrix!! Friendly and helpful hosts with a lot of local knowledge. Would definitely recommend this accommodation. Ian Northampton

An absolutely beautiful cottage in an idyllic location. The cottage was well appointed and had everything we needed. A cosy bedroom with a clever hidden kitchen. The bathroom was much larger than we expected and the shower was excellent. The star of the show is undoubtedly the outside space - the garden is a private and peaceful area, well laid out and adorned with pretty wildflowers. The outside copper bath is large and luxurious, a relaxing spot to watch the sunset (and cows!). We’d definitely recommend the cottage to anyone. Beautiful inside and out.

This was our second stay at Sharon's barn and we will definitely come back again. It's in a great location, has all the bits and pieces you need for a week's holiday and is incredibly comfortable. the bed is very comfy and we slept soundly, waking ready for a walk to the beach for a swim.

If I could give 10 stars, I would. Mary was such a gracious and wonderfully charming host that I would have loved to spend more time at her cottage. During my stay, Mary showed me the surrounding area, including a beautiful garden and her field, and Mary & her partner Charles also gave me a lift to a pub for dinner. Mary & Charles are both very knowledgable and I enjoyed learning about the history and geology of Cornwall from them!

Beautiful and very comfortable place to stay with lovely views across to Falmouth

We simply loved the cozy cottage up the hill with the wonderful view. We stayed for 5 nights and would have stayed longer if possible. The sea shore is only a short walk (~10 mins) away. From there, the beautiful coastal path takes you either south to the beaches and Land's End or north to Cape Cornwall and St. Just. The cottage is perfectly located for both fantastic hikes and serene time at home. Just one thing, I wouldn't advise to come by large vehicle. We had no other choice than going up with our van, and got numerous scratches because of the narrow road and the wild vegetation on basically every side of it (right, left, above). I'd always come back to this wonderful place, but in a small car. :)

A lovely, quirky place in a great location - I don’t think you could get a better location in Mousehole. The relationship with the Children’s book’The Mousehole Cat’ gives it an exceptional history. The house was cosy, comfortable and well appointed with high quality bathroom toiletries. We enjoyed our stay here and would certainly stay again and recommend it to others.

My wife & I along with our 3 month old baby spent a week at William's cottage. William is an attentive host, providing clear instructions and assisting with any questions we had in a punctual manner. We primarily used the cottage as a base to explore the area each day and it was a perfect place to come home to. The cottage has been renovated to a high standard with modern fittings. We noted how quiet and cozy the cottage is in the evenings. Porthleven is a small town and the cottage is a 5 minute walk from the harbour. Kota Kai is definitely a recommended restaurant as family friendly and excellent food.

The cottage was both cosy and comfortable, just what was needed for our weekend break. The wood burning stove was an added bonus and made the cottage feel warm and snug on a very wet day. Both St Ives and The Minack Theatre were within easy reach. The cottage was very clean, with a good sized kitchen and sitting room. Lovely views from the back bedroom. The beds were very comfortable

We cannot recommend this place enough, by far the best Air BnB that we have stayed at. A perfect balance of feeling right at home but also having independent space to relax, our only question is when can we come back!? This place is absolutely perfect for a couple and dog friendly doesn't do it justice! Attention to detail was fantastic and Nicola and family are the perfect hosts. Nothing was too much trouble and we were spoilt for choice with local recommendations and sights to see which were well within travelling distance. We were torn between exploring Cornwall and wanting to stay put in the beautiful grounds. Thank you so much!

We had a lovely 4 night stay in the cottage . It is well positioned and slightly away from the main bustle and noise in Mousehole . Although you can not park directly in front of the cottage you can bag drop . The cottage was spotless and very well equipped. The rooms are spread on 3 floors so be mindfull of steep stairs but that is explained . A very good place to stay and would highly recommend this place .

We stayed at James' Telegraph Cottage specifically to go to a production at The Minack Theatre: it was an excellent choice in so any ways! The theatre was within walking distance, there was a fabulous nearby beach, and walks were endless. The accommodation and James' hospitality were superb: both ensuites were new, the cottage was roomy with a quite large kitchen and the garden was a great asset for sitting and having an evening wine! James was always so quick to answer the questions we had, and emailed copious notes regarding finding the place, pubs and walks. Couldn't have been better in every aspect. We would like to return!!

We had a great 4 days in Cornwall at Phil and gaynors cottage, so much to do I feel another boat soon.

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!

we thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Periwinkle. peaceful and relaxing. Just what we needed. The accommodation was first class and had everything we could need. 👌
