Cottage vacation rentals in St Mawes

Absolutely loved our peaceful stay. Tracey and Mark were very attentive and friendly, truly went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. One of our highlights was the Italian themed delicious dinner cooked for us! Highly recommend to anyone wanting a mini spa break to switch off.

Had an absolutely perfect stay at Helen and Tim's peaceful cottage in Polperro. It was cosy, comfortable and just what we needed for a relaxing few days away. The hot tub was a particular highlight! Would definitely stay again!

Our few days here were amazing, the weather was beautiful which just made the whole experience even better, the views are insane and the log burner inside was so cosy, we also used the hot tub, bbq and the outdoor heater and we’re all bonuses to the already amazing barn. Never thought I’d wake up to the sound of cows but let me tell you, it’s definitely something you’ll have to do once and have a coffee outside with them was just astonishing! Great communication and answered all questions promptly, will definitely come back!

We had a wonderful stay at Shaun’s cottage in Saint Newlyn East. The space was exactly as described — clean, cosy, and thoughtfully set up, with everything we needed for a comfortable stay as a small family. It was perfect for me, my wife, and our 5-month-old son. The location is peaceful and ideally situated for exploring the coast and nearby towns, yet still close enough to amenities when needed. Shaun was a responsive and helpful host, offering clear instructions and making us feel welcome from the start. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a quiet, charming base in Cornwall!

This is one of the best airbnbs I’ve stayed in - no signal or WiFi, but it forced us to switch off which was magical. The location is stunning, gorgeous walks and sunsets. We walked down to the secluded cove they have about 10 mins walk to the top of the hill, through a farm. The Airbnb was such a surprise - the photos don’t do it justice! Lovely touches, and cream tea on our arrival. Will 100% come back again

Accommodation was beautiful and perfectly clean, even more lovely than the photos would suggest! The cottage was situated in a peaceful location but within driving distance to main attractions. The amenities in the cottage were perfect for a cozy night in and hosts were quick to respond regarding any enquiries. The bed was extremely comfortable and with the sauna and hot tub we couldn’t decide if we should stay in and enjoy the accommodation or go out to explore Cornwall!

Wonderful stay at Apple Barn, Alan and Davina are fantastic hosts. We arrived to a wonderful welcome basket with a delicious home made lemon cake, even the dogs had a lovely little welcome basket which was so thoughtful. Peaceful and stylish stay with fab walks nearby or great day trips out and about. Perfect little getaway with the hot tub to unwind and reset!

Lovely place, very clean, we loved the decor 🐝! Hot tub is excellent! Great location. Everything is easy to reach. Host is very communicative and friendly. She gave us very good recommendations. I would recommend to stay at her home:)

A wonderful base to explore North Cornwall, the cottage is well equipped and very comfortable and in a very quiet location. Erik was very helpful and responded to any queries I had very promptly.

The cottage is simply gorgeous. It is cozy, stylish and most importantly spotless clean! The village is cute too, beautiful path to walk the dog, mine engine stacks add charm to the location and the cottage is on the hill so the view from the windows is beautiful. We loved that Catherine left necessities for breakfast in the fridge , it was very thoughtful and kind of her. Thank you for everything, we had a great stay

Had a great stay, lovely area, accommodation was perfect for us, would consider it again when visiting our favourite part of the world. Plus perfect host.

Came down for a family wedding nearby and location was perfect for us. The farmhouse was cozy, welcoming and spacious. The beds were comfy, so much so we all overslept on checkout morning. Facilities, especially in the kitchen were ideal for us. We would love to come again, next time for longer so we can explore the local area more thoroughly and probably with the dog who missed out this time. Thanks for having us to stay.

Had such a wonderful time at the cottage. Very clear instructions on how to get to and into the property, it was spotless and Karen was always on hand via messaging to give any answers to any questions we had quickly and prompted. It's a beautiful property with so much character and comfortable beds in a stunning location. Cannot fault our experience and for the accommodation it was incredible value. Would definitely stay there again. Thank you Karen for such a wonderful stay!

We had a fantastic time at Jenny’s lovely cottage! Jenny is kind and helpful, and communicated throughout to make our stay as pleasant as possible. The cottage is beautifully decorated and the garden and location is a little peace of heaven. Small mishap with the cleaning at arrival, but quickly resolved with a very friendly housekeeper. Thank you so much for having us, we’ll be back soon!

A beautiful gem in a fabulous serene location near so many brilliant places in Cornwall. Perfectly furnished and thoughtful set up. Super helpful and friendly host - down to getting the bbq ready for us and being able to hose down wetsuits on site plus lots of great local recommendations - plus very quick responses and let us know we could check in early. Could not recommend enough (except to ensure there’s some availability next summer so we can return!). Exactly what we needed and such a stunning private garden too - ideal if you are bringing a furry friend. Many thanks and hope to be back soon

Excellent cottage in a perfect location. Jayce and Hannah were great hosts, would definitely recommend to anyone planning at trip to St Ives. I will be back 😊

Lovely place as a base for a great holiday in Cornwall with the family!

Lovely place, very nice and responsive hosts, great stay overall, would recommend!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay - our second visit and perfectly situated for visiting our sister lives nearby. We loved the accommodation and found Maria and her husband to be on hand and very helpful. We will book again when next visiting Cornwall.

Claire and Chris were extremely hospitable and flexible. We arrived at a rather unsociable hour, but they were both more than understanding and welcoming. This little gem is spotless and fresh, with tasteful decor and a timeless Cornish cottage feel. Claire left some great snacks etc which were most welcome after a long drive. The location is great, too, with the A30 literally a few minutes drive away, and super close to the lively Lanivet Inn. Couldn’t recommend enough for both tourists, and (once!) locals coming back to Cornwall to visit.

This house is actually bigger and much nicer than it looks on the pictures. We would love to stay here over and over again!

set in a beautiful mews of original workers cottages in quiet rural location with excellent pub next door . easy access to camel trail and Cornwall's attractions . Cottage very nice ,real log fireplace ,snug and perfect for 4 of us . Recommended

Absolutely amazing time spent at Bumblebee cottage! Felt very cozy and relaxed and was very well stocked with everything we could need for our stay! There were even 2 big blankets in the living room for us to use! Julie & Mark were both lovely and very helpful (and meeting their two staffs made the visit even better! Such sweet and friendly pups!) Thank you again for having us! Would 100% recommend to anyone wanting to stay in that area!

We had an amazing time with our two young kids here. The house was lovely, with a large garden to play in. It's located a short 10 min walk from the village that has a shop etc, and is conveniently located to get to other local areas by car. Pen and Patrick were very helpful with local recommendations each day, and helpfully replenished the firewood whenever we asked. We'd definitely come back again.
