House holiday rentals in Praa Sands

Great place to stay and was clean and tidy! Responsive and friendly host who helped with recommendations!

The consistency of reviews led me to book and just says it all. 3 generations, all very happy....we usually eat out a fair bit but enjoyed the space so much we barely did. The feeling is of a huge, comfortable house with an immediately homely and easy air. The kitchen is as at home...every utensil..even a baking cupboard..not treading on eggshells in a cold corporate space, but sharing a family home which has clearly been a haven for generations. Thank you to Joy for her lovely proactive tips...we slept soooo well....and made the most of every moment...the sign of a week well spent in the most comfortable of places.

We stayed for a weekend and it was perfect. A beautiful property in a very quiet and relaxing setting. Hosts provided all of the information we needed. We will certainly return for another visit in future!

We really enjoyed staying here as a group of five adults and 1 toddler. Plenty of room for us all and having 2 bathrooms was really great. The cabin is comfy and cosy, with beautiful views of the Cornish countryside. We used the cabin as a base to explore Cornwall as it is located centrally within easy reach of many popular towns. We loved coming back to the cabin in the evening and using the hot tub and waking up to the very friendly alpacas! You do have to drive up a very narrow and steep lane to reach the cabin but we were lucky that the lane is very quiet and so we never met any oncoming traffic. We would absolutely recommend and would love to return one day.

This was our family’s second stay at what is our favourite spot at Retallack. The lodge, being right on the water, feels peaceful and secluded, but is only a few minutes’ walk to the pool, restaurant and other amenities. Mel is a great host, always replying quickly, and the lodge has everything we needed for our stay. We’d definitely come back again.

We had such a lovely stay here, it was really clean, in a great location to travel around, lovely amount of space. Would highly recommend this place to anyone wanting to stay 😊

Such a lovely stay celebrating my partners birthday, hosts were so attentive but made the whole experience feel comfortable and relaxed. We will be back and I recommend it to others Thanks Nicola 👏

A fantastic lodge with uninterrupted views of the beautiful Cornish countryside and the Atlantic Ocean at Holywell Bay. The lodge is finished to a very high spec and had every thing you could want for. The hot tub and outside space are fabulous! We will definitely return!

Corri’s cottage is fabulous, beautifully decorated with comfortable sofas and beds. Kitchen was kitted out with everything we needed to cook on the few evenings we didn’t eat out. Lovely garden with sofas/chairs to lounge on which we did get to enjoy despite some mixed weather. Mousehole is a perfect place to set off on some stunning costal walks which is what we spent our week doing. We also enjoyed dinner at 2 Fore Street, Mackerel Sky & the Tolcarne Inn.

This place is a real gem and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for beautiful views, peace and serenity. It's within a short walk of amazing beaches and close to all local amenities that you need. St. Ives is easily accessible and we used it as a base for many other Cornish locations - Penzance, Land's End and Falmouth were an easy drive away. The property itself, aside from being in a great location, was very well equipped, spotlessly clean and had all amenities that were advertised and the pictures in the listing were accurate and recent. Karen was a great host, very responsive and left a number of goodies in the kitchen to welcome us, which was an extra special touch that we didn't expect. We stayed for 7 nights and could easily have stayed longer.

Beautiful place! Would 100% stay again! We requested decorations to be put up for arrival as it was my mams 50th birthday. We sent decorations but they weren’t put up when we arrived. We spoke with Malcolm about this and he came straight over the next morning to do this while we were out and left some beautiful cupcakes, helped us rectify the heating as it was very hot, and was available at all times when we needed! Beautiful place! Very local to lots of shops and very close to the train station: beautiful views!

What a gem! The upper beach house is a fantastic find with the most wonderful scenic view to look out to. The house is spacious, homely and full of all the amenities to feel home from home. The outdoor terrace is a wonderful spot to relax and enjoy the view of the beach. With just a one minute walk to the beach and costal path, the location was perfect. Gareth was a great host, responsive and clear instructions. A brilliant stay!!

Without a doubt the best place we have stayed through Airbnb! The most perfect house in the heart of Newlyn. The views from house are perfect- quite literally opposite the harbour. The house is very beautiful. You can walk into the centre of Newlyn within 5 minutes, Penzance in 30 mins and Mousehole in around 35mins so it’s the ideal location. St Ives and local beaches are within a 20 - 30 minute drive too, so lots to see and do! Lots of places to eat that are very very local too which is handy. Highly recommend Mackrel seafood bar in Newlyn. Rosie left us lots of recommendations of places to go and eat which was really helpful too. The perfect stay, thank you!

Can't fault this stay in any way. Everything was as described, the hosts were super responsive, helpful and friendly and even went out of their way to surprise us with a very thoughtful gift. The cottage is a delight, very authentically Cornish, comfortable and warm. It was suitably equipped (we didn't need for anything during our stay) and a great place to relax and unwind after days of walking. Porthleven turned out to be a super place to base ourselves with good restaurants, pubs, coffee shops and town activities. Not as "quaint" as Mousehole or Marazion but actually better equipped for a stay and a little more local activity, we preferred it. If we headed back to Porthleven I'd absolutely look to stay at this cottage again. Recommended.

We stayed in the Big Barn for three nights and had an incredible time. The accommodation was incredibly clean and tidy and had everything we needed. Harriet and Sylvain also provided us with some fresh local bread, eggs and milk to settle us in, and left us some handpicked strawberries on the porch which was a lovely surprise! The barn was quiet and private and was just a short walk to Porthcurno Beach and the Minack Theatre. We'd definitely love to stay again!

We couldn't have asked for better hosts than Sandra and John! Their Airbnb is, without a doubt, one of the finest we've stayed in. They've paid attention to every little detail, creating a space that felt just like home. We're already looking forward to our next visit.

Lovely cottage right by the sea, small for 2 teenagers and 2 adults but another experience for them ticked off the list. Great location, stunning out look, local walks, beaches and St Micheal's Mount all in your door step. pristine accommodation, an all round great stay. Thanks Abi.

We had a lovely short break in Cornwall. we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would recommend to other guests.

What an amazing find! Utterly private and feels very rural. Even though the lovely village of St Agnes and glorious beaches and towns are only a short distance away! Very cosy and eclectic home with some delicious treats and a bottle of fizz left by Kate and Simon. If you do stay, you HAVE TO use Sunny Spice, whether it’s for takeaway or eat in. Best South Indian food and yummy dosas I’ve had outside of London or Kerala! Thank you for making us so welcome and for the brilliant recommendations of places to go and local eateries.

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at Church Cottage with our two young daughters. The cottage felt homely and had everything we needed, but also stood out as somewhere special - the quality of the decor and furnishings is amazing. We loved exploring the Lizard and Emily had loads of great recommendations for us. Every day was jam packed! We did have an issue with hot water during our stay; unfortunately the boiler broke and due to a struggle to get hold of parts, we were without hot water for the majority of our trip. But, Emily was fantastic at staying in touch, checking in with us to see how we were getting on and updating us on progress. We really felt that Emily did her utmost to resolve the situation as quickly as possible and ultimately, though frustrating at times, we didn’t let it spoil our holiday. Thank you so much Emily, we loved Church Cottage!

Brilliant place. It’s remote but we wanted that. The beach below is beautiful and quiet, a lot of steps so you need to be fit to use regularly! The house is otherwise so spacious and each room having its own en-suite is a huge bonus if you are a big family. It’s also really soundproof so was handy to be up with my young kids and not wake the rest of the house up. If you surf it’s a brilliant spot as Gwynver is a great spot that works well when it’s small everywhere else. And the footpath over to sennen cove is about 30-40 minute walk and completely stunning. All in all a really incredible home, perfect for an active family of wanting to be among the beautiful nature of the far south west. Thanks so much for a really memorable trip

a fantastic apartment in a beautiful location with sea views from the private balcony. it was perfect for a few days in Cornwall, the location was great for so many attractions. Sam was really responsive and helpful.

The location is perfect right on the beach and you can walk into the Harbour in minutes, the only downside is parking but we managed to park on the island car park. Lovely views of the sea from the rooms and the place was clean, had everything we needed would definitely book again.

What a great find, we had a lovely stay at Sunrise. This is the perfect place to stay to explore what south west Cornwall has to offer - less than 20 mins into st Ives meant we could go out for an evening walk on the beach. Also so many other places close by too. Also very close to a range of supermarkets so picking up some food was easy. The property was a great size for two people, with all of the amenities we needed. Didn't really notice that we were attached to the main house. It was very clean and very comfortable. Definitely worth mentioning too that Liz is a great host and was very helpful and communicative from the moment we booked. We could easily have stayed for a lot longer, and would gladly visit again.
