Cottage holiday rentals in Saint Ives Bay

We spent 3 nights staying at the Mowhay. It was the perfect mix of peaceful hideaway whilst being well connected to major roads and local amenities. The accommodation was well laid out with a very well equipped kitchen. Claire was great at communicating from booking to check out and we met Geoff a couple of times during our stay who was super friendly. Would thoroughly recommend!

Beautiful traditional Cornish cottage located within a very peaceful village but only 10mins drive from loads of beautiful beaches. Added benefit of a hot tub which unfortunately we didn’t get to use with a 2 year old in tow! Would highly recommend.

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

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!

We had an amazing stay at Nicola’s. The barn was clean, cozy, super modern and overall just a great oasis with absolutely stunning views. It was calm and surrounded by furry friends aka horses and sheep that managed to bring the extra wellness effect. An evening in the hot tub was an evening in heaven for us! Also, Nicola was a great host always having an open ear for us. Cannot think of a better stay and would highly recommend!

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.

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 loved our stay and can't wait to come back! The surroundings and wildlife were beautiful. It was the perfect spot to relax and we had everything we could need for our short stay. Highly recommend gathering around the fire pit to watch the sun set across the treetops! We were sad we couldn't stay longer - but hoping to come back next year for our wedding celebrations! A huge thanks to Chris and the team for being so helpful, friendly and kind!

Perfect little cottage located off a quiet street. Shop, chippy and Asda really close and also free parking within a short walk. Very accurate description and the place contained everything you would need. Dave and Kel were great hosts and check in and check out were smooth. Will hopefully return next time I visit Cornwall.

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.

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.

Wonderful cottage , bigger and more beautiful than expected with 100s of small touches that set this place apart . Lovely host and a very special home . Thank you x

Jago's Loft is genuinely luxurious: spacious, with elegant decor which aptly fits its maritime setting. Beds and sofas are just so comfortable, and the kitchen is equipped with everything you'd never thought of to help you live easily and conveniently. There is a small sunny patio outside the French doors for outdoor living. Alison was readily helpful while rigorously leaving us our privacy. The cottage looks on to a small shared space with lovely garden borders and a long view through to the harbour and the lines of picturesque cottages across the estuary in Falmouth. The 2 mins walk to the out-of-this-world village shop just 2 mins walk away gave us opportunity to commune with the family of 6 small cygnets who frequent the harbour with their parents. We are not drivers, but trains go all the way into Falmouth and the local bus service is excellent for a rural community.

Lovely cottage. With easy access to the local beaches, walks, gardens, village store, etc, And amazing weather!

Great location and lovely setting for the well appointed, comfortable accommodation. John was friendly, helpful, communicative, interested and welcoming. We had a brilliant stay and definitely wish to return. Many thanks John.

This small cottage was perfect for us. It is close to everything and parking just round the corner at Stennack car park. The Cornish Deli, just round the corner is great for breakfast as is the yellow canary - great coffee! Can definitely recommend this property. The host was responsive when we had a small issue with the key safe (user error!). Lovely gift pack, which we thoroughly enjoyed. Thank you.

Fantastic week spent at Little Barn. Claire is indeed a 'Super Host'. All the recommendations made were spot on and fantastic value. Thank you Claire, can't wait to visit again

We had a wonderful stay with our 2-year-old at Alex’s place. The home was spotless, comfortable, and perfectly set up for a relaxing visit. Alex and his family were incredibly kind and welcoming, offering great local tips, including some excellent brewery recommendations! Location is excellent - with the region's best beach only minutes away. What made our stay truly special was the thoughtful surprise: handmade Easter decorations just for our little one. It was such a sweet and memorable touch. Highly recommend this place for a great private stay in Cornwall.

We absolutely loved our stay in this beautiful home. Kam is an amazing host - such prompt, clear and helpful communications. The home itself is a work of art! Supremely clever and elegant design, amazing decor and everything is so elegant and comfortable - beds, sofas, fantastic clean linen and wonderful hot showers. Brilliant well-equipped kitchen, lovely dining area, and such a kind and generous welcome kit - all the delicious food and tea and a really helpful array of household items too. And the downstairs area was fantastic for going swimming and coming back again to have a shower and wash clothes. Also the sea views from the main bedroom and living room are just mesmerising. Loved sitting there reading and watching the changing sky and the waves surging onto the sand. It's truly the perfect St Ives accommodation - right in the centre, close to all the restaurants, galleries, beaches, and yet also really peaceful. Can't wait to return - with all our thanks for a wonderful stay!

This was the perfect location for us in St.Ives and is somewhere I had noticed for years- right by Smeaton’s Pier and the Harbour! I could have spent all day watching the sea, sky & clouds from the comfy window seat in the upstairs sitting room! The cottage has a light and airy upper lounge with sea & harbour views, bedrooms with sea views, huge family kitchen, and separate TV lounge ( excellent idea!) & modern shower- bathroom on ground level. Note- there are two flights of stairs, one from ground floor Kitchen & bathroom up to the TV Lounge, then on up to top lounge & master bedroom. Also has 2 front doors , one up steepish stone steps that accesses the middle lounge, and one “ barn door” on street level. Step outside the street-level front door and there is a fabulous coffee shop! Loved heading down to the pier early or to the beach with coffee and watching the town come to life. This cottage really is in the perfect spot and feels like a home from home! Can’t wait to return!

The Hidden Gem was really family friendly and comfortable. It has a beautiful interior and was really clean. Orange roofs are friendly and professional, the basket on arrival was a lovely touch. The garden is a real bonus too. I particularly liked how they left cleaning products that made a 7 night stay really comfortable with children. Highly recommend!

An absolute fabulous week away in this amazing cottage. It had everything we needed, and although was a stone throws away from all the hustle and bustle it felt so peaceful and quiet! Thank you for a wonderful stay. We will definitely be back. Amy, George and Sophia 🥰

If you are hesitating about booking Cliff Cottage in Portloe then please don’t even question it…just book it! By far the loveliest Air B n b we have had the privilege to stay in. Annie and Giovanni are perfect hosts. Charming, warm, always available and welcoming but never intrusive. Together they have created a little piece of heaven. The cottage is gorgeous and perfectly situated. The incomparable views, peace and tranquillity, creative interior design, attention to detail, thoughtful extras and the comfort and cleanliness of the cottage combine to create something truly magical. They have literally thought of everything. We felt instantly at home. My husband spent most of his time staring out of the window enjoying the views and we loved spending time in the garden and enjoying the sound of the waves. Loads to do in the local area. Stunning coastal walks in either direction and the village of Portloe captured our hearts. We truly did not want to leave.
