Cottage holiday rentals in Porthallow

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!

Had a wonderful stay at Silva Cottage.The cottage was beautiful and had everything a person could need and very clean. The location was amazing set in woods and so so quiet apart from the birds which were a delight to see and hear especially watching the comings and going’s of Woodpeckers on the bird feeder. The hot tub was spectacular.Set in the woods nothing could compare to sitting back and enjoying the tub with a glass of fizz. We had a great recommendation from Lorraine for an Indian Takeaway which delivered to the cottage and ate a great lunch at The Tamar Inn at Calstock. Great location for walkers with Dartmoor on one side and Bodmin Moor on the other plus the coastal path. Would highly recommend this property and would love to return.

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

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.

Wow! What an incredible 6 days we had staying at Nicola’s place. It was for my partners 21st birthday and Nicola put up banners and balloons which was lovely of her. We both had the best time, it was both of our first time in Cornwall and we explored so much in the time we was there. Boscastle is an amazing place to stay as St Ives was just over an hour away, Marazion was an hour away, Newquay just under an hour. Even the local beaches and exploring Boscastle was so much fun. It really was a great location, the views, the sunsets/ sunrises everything truly was amazing and we will 100% be back in the future. Thank you so much for having us and as I say we thoroughly enjoyed our first time in Cornwall.

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.

Tranquil, beautifully converted barn. Extremely comfortable and very welcoming. Perfect for a break away from the rat race!! And Davina’s gluten-free lemon drizzle cake is amazing!! Thank you for a second very enjoyable stay!

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

Thyme Cottage is lovely. The cottage was perfect for our needs and had everything we needed for a comfortable and pleasant stay. The garden is beautiful and the private parking was a bonus. Thyme Cottage is set down some very pretty country lanes and is very peaceful. Despite the peaceful location, Thyme Cottage is close to Falmouth, the beaches and the local nature walks. Craig and Janet were friendly, welcoming and gave us some great recommendations for places to eat. Our family would definitely stay here again and we would recommend this property to anyone looking for a quiet Cornish getaway.

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

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!

You cannot find a more beautiful and peaceful location for a few days rest within nature. Their homestead is so quiet apart from bird song. The cottage is very calm and comfortable with a beautiful log fire in the cooler evenings. The private garden and terrace you have has wonderful views and is ideal for eating alfresco plus a very roomy private car park. Bed is super comfortable with lovely high quality linen. I would not hesitate to stay again and the cheeky gorgeous Truffle Cockerpoo owners dog is very friendly and welcoming.

Lovely cottage in a peaceful location and a short drive from great beaches. We especially liked the nearby community farm shop for food and drink and we did some great local hikes including along the coast path, which runs very nearby. Cottage very clean and comfortable; we had everything we needed and communication from Holly and Anne was fantastic.

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.

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

Such a beautiful find. A wonderful location, lots of lovely places to eat in the harbour. Moments from the beach and short drives to lots of places to explore too. The cottage was so much bigger than we had anticipated. The garden was great for our dog too. Thank you so much! X

Eleanor’s cottage was perfect for our family of four. It is next to the creek and a very short walk to the pub and ferry. The cottage was great, with comfortable beds and everything we needed. We picked up some supplies on our way to the cottage at the supermarket in Helston, but the local shop in Helford was handy too. Parking was on the creek or up in a nearby car park (a 2 minute walk up the hill). We bought a ticket for the week and left the car there except on the days we were venturing further afield. We had such a great holiday and would definitely recommend this beautiful part of Cornwall and Eleanor’s lovely cottage!

After a slight panic with the lock box (different numbers in email and app) I got in to the most well-equipped, gorgeous little cottage you could hope for.

Lovely place. Great location with lots to do within walking distance. The accommodation was really quiet,it was incredibly peaceful. Good for the dog, lots of space outside.

Beautiful location and cottage close to wonderful locations offering a tranquil break from London life. Thankyou ❤️

Just a very special lovely place, a hidden gem. Everything you need. Kelly is an excellent host and I will return again.

we stayed at this beautiful cottage with our 2 year old and absolutely had the best time, the cottage was just as described and more! so spacious, peaceful and well equipped, cosy soft beds, cot and highchair, and loads of hot water for baths. Alison was so helpful as host, she went above and beyond to supply a few extras to us during our stay and was always available if we needed. a really lovely private house thats near to the most beautiful bits of Cornwall for easy day trips. highly recommended and we hope to return. thanks Alison and family!

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

We had a fabulous stay at Roger and Polly's cottage. The location was great for choice of amazing beaches and sights. Information given in advance was helpful, check in very straightforward and hosts very responsive. The cottage itself was really cosy and clean, the beds all super comfy with lovely bedding and all the other amenities perfect. Our kids had a great time pottering around the garden and going for little walks with us down the quiet lane in the evening to see the cows. Thanks so much for having us stay :) we hope to come back again
