bEaUtiFUL and Bright !! Town/Harbour apartment #2
Just back from a lovely three night stay at Jasmin's súper flat. Spotlessly clean, cosy and bright and just a couple of minutes from the train station. Great communication with Jasmine who was instantly contactable when I had a bit of trouble getting in to the building when I arrived (there's a bit of a knack to using the keypad entry system, which she talked me through). Hope to stay again and would recommend to anyone. Many thanks!

PENZANCE, Lovely 1 Bedroomed Apartment.
Chris was very kind and friendly and accommodation was exceptional. It is very rare to find such accommodation as it was probably the cleanliest I've ever been to, it had so many amenities and personal touches, it was in a nice area close to everything, and it was for a reasonable price! Some accommodations state they have fully-equipped kitchen, but this one REALLY has. Plus there were some seasonings, oil, vinegar, etc. Coffee and tea available, toasts, jams and milk in the fridge. In the bathrom it was the same, all the little things we need every day, it was there. Bed and bedsheets nice, clean and very comfortable. You have plenty of storage, sitting, extra blankets. This lady knows exactly what travellers need and have it all. We stayed only 3 nights, but it is suitable for longer stay.

Papermoon Perranporth
Such a beautiful place, great location, short walk to the beach and town. It did take me a few attempts and help from some local friends to find it but once you locate it, everything went smoothly. Check in was easy. Biz provided lots of information on the run up to my trip and there’s a handy guide in the room for everything else!

Modern 1 bedroom apartment close to Penzance town
Lovely apartment! Comfy bed & responsive host

South Fistral 2-bedroom Seaview Apartment
Lovely spacious apartment with balcony overlooking the beach, just one row of houses back from the seafront. We prefer this side of town as you get access to the Gannel and Fistral. Comes with a parking spot too. Can walk everywhere. Look forward to returning soon!

Luxury Horizons Apartment
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.

The Loft at No8 Windsor Terrace
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.

Primrose Cottage – Sleeps 6 - Parking - Sea Views
Not easy to access and get luggage into as the entry is very hard to park close to, but otherwise a great property!

Atlantic Reach
This place made for a great base and was good value; we were on a budget and it met all our needs. Beds were comfy and it never felt crowded with 7 of us staying. We could always get enough hot water and bedding and towels were clean. We never heard any noise outside or through walls. Sandra was very helpful and responsive and it was a lovely touch to arrive to milk, biscuits, tea and coffee.

Perfect Seaside Escape, near to St Ives
Lucy was a great host and communication was easy. The property was lovely and everything you could think of was provided. The location was perfect to explore the area and the bus service on the park was brilliant. The only downside was the lack of phone signal and WiFi which was difficult for booking activities on and off the park. We had a lovely stay and would definately recommend Lucy and this property x

Holiday home in Cornwall.
We had a very nice stay at Verity's accomodation. We arrived late at night but she still greeted us and showed us everything we need. The accomodation is in a very nice and calm location a 5 min drive from the Newquay and Crantock beaches. Overall can only recommend staying here!

A lovely little getaway, I wish I could have had a longer stay here! Will definitely be back :)

Modern 1 bed, Parking, Patio, close to Beach
Great self contained unit. Spotlessly clean and perfect for a short stay. Very easy to walk to the beaches and town. Parking for larger vehicles tricky but manageable. Caroline was very kind in arranging the booking at late notice.
