Family-friendly vacation rentals in Hayle

We stayed in the Melyn cottage, it was so lovely and spacious. The location is perfect for exploring different parts of Cornwall. Sue was a fantastic host and explained everything before we arrived, we were even greeted by a bottle of Prosecco which was a lovely surprise! We all loved it and would definitely stay again! :)

We have just had the best week at Bowjey Hill. Adam was very friendly and showed us around the property when we arrived and made lots of local recommendations which helped us plan for the week. We visited a lot of the recommendations and they did not disappoint. The property is beautiful and spacious and there was nothing more we could have asked for. The kitchen has all the cook books you can imagine, along with with all the equipment needed. So we had some evenings in the property cooking and playing games which were found in the cupboard. The house is decorated beautifully and feels like a home away from home. The garden is a great space for the family, unfortunately we didn’t use the pizza oven but the area in the garden was amazing. The beds were very comfortable. Adam brought coal for the bbq and said he’d bring any wood etc around if needed for the fire. Loved our stay and would recommend the host and property. Once parked up we just walked, got the bus or train. Very easy.

Delightful, private location as listed. Met our needs with a hot tub and plenty of space for our party of 5 for a weekend catch up. Hope to return again and try out their pool :)

Just back from a mini break at Shell Cottage. So often you stay at places that are furnished with odds and ends but Shell Cottage was beautiful. Lovely furniture, accessories, bedding and everything you could need for a break. It also has Netflix for dark winter evenings. The parking is in front of the property. It’s a beautiful location, very quiet with just the sound of the owl hooting. It’s a great spot for visiting Falmouth and the surrounding area. Shelley was great to deal with, really prompt in her responses and allowed us to check in and out with flexibility. We will definitely be staying at Shell Cottage again! Many thanks.

We have stayed in Cornwall quite a few times and we always enjoy coming back. The house lovely and spacious ! It was very clean and tidy, there was more than enough kitchen utensils to facilitate more than 8 people, and the dishwasher was helpful along with the complimentary cleaning items. There was 7 of us staying in the house with some doggies and we never felt like we didn’t have our own space…. The dogs loved it too. It’s a walkable distance to Newquay town and Fistral beach. Lusty glaze beach is about 10 minutes walk and this has a beautiful beach restaurant /cafe which is beautiful and dog friendly all year round. Staying here is a good base to explore different areas of Cornwall. Only thing that would be good would be a few lights around the hot tub area. We certainly will be returning. Thank you for letting us stay in your lovely house.

We booked a 1 night stay as we are locals for a 16th birthday celebration which happened to be during the latest storm! I was offered to rearrange for another weekend which was lovely, we didn’t and we had the best time! The tent survived the storm, the hot tub was piping and the fire was cosy. Lovely extra touches of hot water bottles which came in handy! Beautiful peaceful surrounding despite the howling wind! Will recommend and be back. Thank you

We had the most amazing week in St Ives staying in this beautiful homely house. The view from the kitchen diner is absolutely stunning. The house is on a fairly busy road but the buses and traffic were not an issue - it was so easy to either get a bus, train or walk everywhere from the house. The 2 car parking spaces were brilliant (if a bit tight for a larger car) but we found we really didn’t need or want to use the cars. The location is fabulous for access to the town and beaches. The house is brilliantly stocked with everything you might want in a kitchen and was immaculately clean. Lovely towels and bedding with comfy beds. Amazing extras were really appreciated like the welcome food basket and spades/windbreaks in the garage. We also loved the hot tub. Can’t fault the house at all, we loved it!

Had a wonderful stay at this charming two-bedroom cottage! The place was beautifully decorated, spotless, and had everything we needed for a comfortable and relaxing stay. The bedrooms were cozy with comfy beds, and the living area was the perfect spot to unwind after a day of exploring. The location was fantastic—peaceful and scenic, yet close enough to local attractions and amenities.

We had a wonderful stay. So cosy and Karen had so thoughtfully designed and furnished the cottage! Comfortable bed, warm and cosy with a wood burning stove, fully fitted kitchen, spotless en suite and fluffy towels! The setting is peaceful and rural - we loved the wildlife, home pets and nature surrounded us - so unspoilt and very private but only minutes from both Falmouth and from Maenporth beach. It is an absolute treat to stay here and we hope to be back soon.

Amazing place to stay for one night. Will be back for sure. Even provided food for breakfast which was gratefully received as we had to rush off quite early.

Lovely cottage in a beautiful location. Very quiet and peaceful. Comfortable beds and piping hot water. All the kitchen facilities that we needed, except for dishwasher, but coped with a little elbow grease for 3 days! Would happily stay here again.

Robyn's place was warm, cosy and comfortable. She made us feel at home and had lit the wood burner for our arrival. Lovely cottage in the heart of Porthleven. Luckily we managed to park for free the entire stay , thanks to Robyns instructions. Excellent.

Absolutely loved the cottage, such a lovely, homely place. Sharon kindly put the heating and the lights on for us before we arrived, which was really appreciated as we arrived with a little one & had to get him ready for bed straight away. We had everything we needed from the high chair & baby bath to even children’s toys, which our son loved! The pictures don’t do it justice & I couldn’t fault anything, will definitely be looking to come back in the future.

It was a struggle to leave this cosy haven of a cottage with a plethora of wonderful books and knick knacks to keep you there forever! Nevertheless, we ventured out to Kynance Cove (idyllic) and Lizard point, both a short drive away. Gunwalloe beach is a 5 minute walk away and Church Cove (better for families) either a 5 minute drive or longer walk away - simply gorgeous! We will definitely return when possible!

As a family of 8 & 3 generations celebrating Christmas & a special birthday, the farmhouse was simply magical. Will & Danni went above all our expectations with Christmas trees & selection boxes for the kids. The farm looked so beautiful with all the fairy lights & we found everything we needed to cook Christmas dinner for 12! Thank you so much for a simply amazing stay which allowed us to celebrate our first Christmas in six years as a family. We couldn’t recommend you highly enough & hope to be back in the future.

Had a lovely stay at Michelle and Ian's.Accommodation was so clean and the outside area was amazing with the fire pit and outside seating areas, Very friendly and helpful, and went over and above as our car broke down (for the first time), and while the RAC sorted it out, Michelle came and picked us up from Perranporth and brought us back to save us all waiting. The local shop in the village was amazing selling everything you could need for your holiday, and the accommodation was 10 minutes from Perran Sands beach which we went to a lot. St Agnes and Perranporth are nearby for an evening out at a restaurant or the Pub . We loved the accommodation, suited our family perfectly with the firepit and BBQ which we used a lot. Thanks for a lovely holiday Michelle and Ian. We would definitely come again.

A fantastic place to stay beautiful property, spotlessly clean and brilliant amenities. Everyone was super friendly and helpful with any queries. Location is perfect for the beautiful beach and village. Our family had the most amazing holiday and highly recommend a stay at Bassets Acre.

We have just arrived home after a fantastic stay. The lodge was beautiful with everything that we needed. There is lots to do locally as well as in the resort. We enjoyed it so much that we have already booked for another stay in Easter. Thank you once again.

Stunning apartment, spacious and modern . Very clean. Welcome pack provided and toiletries. Beautiful views across the bay. 5 min walk down to the sea. 10 mins back ( uphill ! ) Lovely balcony to have a glass of wine. Peaceful location. Would thoroughly recommend.

Enjoyable stay. Comfortable bed. Everything we needed was there. Good location for visiting far west of Cornwall. Responsive Host. Home is in shade of trees so we used a heater to dry towels on the airer or you can use launderette on site. Indoor swimming pool on site was warm but bookable through John Fowler app for a 45 min session. Evening entertainment available. The White Hart in Hayle does an amazing roast on Sunday!

Great apartment, very clean and spacious. Everything you need is there and it’s really close to the town centre and all of the beaches. This is the second time we have stayed and we will hopefully return in 2023.

This was our first time booking an AirBnB and I needn't have worried. Marcus is a great host, very helpful and the property was exactly like the photos and description. It was in a perfect location for us, in a quiet part of town, but just a 10 minute walk to the town centre where there were some great pubs and Newquays beaches and harbour are also not far away. We found it very quiet in the apartment and weren't disturbed by any noise at all. We thought the Christmas tree and other decorations were a lovely touch and we felt at home and very comfortable.

We had an absolutely fantastic stay at Kirsten & Ben’s Fistral Beach holiday home! From start to finish, everything was perfect. The home itself is beautifully designed, spotless, and well-equipped with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The attention to detail—from cozy furnishings to thoughtful touches—made it feel like a true home away from home. The location couldn’t be better; just a short walk to Fistral Beach, perfect for catching the stunning sunsets or enjoying a morning stroll. Kirsten & Ben were wonderful hosts—communicative, welcoming, and always ready to assist with any questions. Their recommendations for local spots were spot on, helping us make the most of our time in Newquay. Overall, we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. If you’re looking for a perfect coastal getaway, this is the place to be. We’d love to return in the future!

As a family of three the apartment was ideal for us. The apartment was spacious, included the essentials, plus the view overlooking Newquay and the surrounding area was stunning! Added bonus to have parking included as we rarely used the car due to the location of the apartment making it easier for us to walk more. The gym and pool looked fantastic but on this occasion we didn’t have the time to use them. I’d highly recommend the apartment ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
