Family-friendly vacation rentals in Porthtowan

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! :)

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

Great host and very friendly. Cottage was exactly as listed and very modern. Hot tub was an added bonus. Highly recommend.

Property very well equipped. Spotlessly clean. Extremely comfortable. Terrific views. Perfect for our needs.

This was the perfect place to unwind and relax. From the moment we arrived, we felt completely at home. The cottage was beautifully decorated and looked exactly as pictured. Kate was highly responsive and provided excellent recommendations for the local area. Many of the top attractions we wanted to visit were just a short drive away. The log burner, sauna, and hot tub were wonderful luxuries that we thoroughly enjoyed, with plenty of logs provided. The kitchen was fully equipped with all the necessary appliances and utensils for cooking. Kate’s attention to detail is truly impressive, which left me feeling inspired. We had a fantastic stay and will definitely be back soon! The dogs had an amazing time as well. Thank you for a wonderful week! ☺️

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.

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 glorious barn, where a lot of thought had gone into the design and the little things. Very comfortable. Loved the decor and tiny enclosed side garden with gate - ideal and safe for the dog. Lovely position and super communication. Thank you for the goodies too. Would definitely return in the future. Well worth booking!

Beautiful, welcoming cottage with so much to look, you don't want to leave ! Very warm and cosy, with lovely little garden for our dogs, and thanks to Beth, we found the little beach a few minutes walk away which is dog friendly. Couldn't have asked for a better place to spend a few days away, and will definitely return when there is availability ! x

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.

Very enjoyable stay at Roy’s loft. Ideal location with St Ives centre less than 10 minutes down the hill yet away from the crazy St Ives holiday traffic. Roy is a very friendly and helpful host.

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.

Lovely setting - very peaceful and private - peacocks, geese and a cat were there to greet us most days. Stephen was a great host and explained everything clearly and was very helpful. The place was compact but had everything we needed for our stay and was exactly as described and very clean. Asda Express within walking distance. Great location for accessing other parts of Cornwall - we ventured to Perranporth/Newquay which was around 40 mins. Also Tintagel Castle was around 25 mins. We would stay again. Thank you.

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’re so glad we chose to stay at Halula Beach House for my hen do weekend, it was the perfect pad! Pool, hot tub, silent disco, huge table we could all sit round… and just a few minutes walk to the gorgeous beach. Would highly recommend it!

Absolutely loved my stay here, the apartment is so cute and cosy with beachy vibes and a stunning view of Fistral beach (only 15 min walk away -so perfect for the dog). It was very dog friendly with a front garden and grass and dog blankets on the furniture. very easy to communicate with the owners and easy check in. I would definitely stay here again, if i find myself back in Cornwall. Thank you for a lovely stay

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 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
