Family-friendly holiday rentals in Helston

This was our second stay and, like the first, it didn't disappoint. The views, the Lodge itself and the hot tub all make for a perfect, peaceful weekend retreat. Caroline is a fantastic, friendly and responsive host who communicates quickly.

The house was amazing,ample space for 2 families getting together-never seen such a massive tv in our lives so watching a film was like being in a cinema! Kitchen fully equipped and lots of kitchen towels provided which we had forgotten to bring! Bathrooms and toilets were spotless and lots of loo roll provided too (a bug bear of mine when you only have 1 for your entire stay so have to make a mad dash to a shop as your first outing)! Location wise it was perfect,sea views,plenty of parking,short walk to the train station 3 mins away from st Ives,games provided (tho we are in to monopoly at the Mo and brought our own for some epic games nights)! Tesco a short drive away too which was handy if needed! All in all a fantastic stay-both hosts were super responsive too and should we have had any issues im sure would have been able to help quickly!

We had a lovely stay in one of the glamping tents over the Easter weekend. The accommodation is located very close to great beaches and is the perfect spot to visit explore Cornwall. Stephen and Amanda were great throughout our stay, providing effective communication and always being on hand to provide extra logs/coal for the fire. The tent had everything we needed for a short getaway and the hot tub was brilliant. Our kids, aged 6 and 3 loved it. We would definitely return again in the future.

Amazing view from the house. Rooms were spacious, especially kitchen area. Great location for families 5 or more people. Quick drive to the A30 (if you can fit through the bridge). Hot tub, with scones and Prosecco was an added bonus! Had a few minor issues, which Jeremy helped to rectify where he could. Definitely stay again!

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!

Staying here was an absolute pleasure, we chose this cottage mainly because it is dog friendly with an enclosed garden, and close to family friends and the event we came for. Sherry was super friendly and kept us updated about the stay all along, the cottage is really cosy and a lovely base to come home to after adventuring. When she says it's dog friendly, it really is! Some places don't let dogs freely use the place, but here it was all set up perfectly for him and he loved using the garden. It was extremely clean when we arrived, and the fresh flowers, milk, biscuits and prosecco were such lovely touches. We really enjoyed using the hot tub, it's tucked away and can see how you could enjoy it in all weather. The kitchen is well stocked so if you want to home-cook it's easy to do so, there's also plenty of plastic glasses/cups to use in the hot tub. We absolutely loved our stay here and will definitely be booking again!

Liz's place was exactly as described. spotless and spacious. Waking up viewing the Atlantic ocean brought peace and serenity. The property was perfect for the 8 of us. With two reception rooms some could enjoy the view while others could have some quiet space. The bedrooms were huge and well laid out with lovely king size beds. Hot overlooking the ocean was great. Liz was the perfect host and always on hand if needed. All amenities were available including travel coat and high chair etc. Would stay there again in a heart beat and have indeed booked it again for this summer. 5*

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!

We had a wonderful Easter stay at Karen’s peaceful Falmouth Airbnb with our pets. The location is tranquil and welcoming—our cats settled in faster than ever, and our dog loved meeting the animals on the property. The facilities were spotless and matched the photos perfectly. We especially enjoyed the fresh farm eggs, including a seasonal goose egg treat. Karen was exceptionally responsive and proactive, providing detailed directions when Google Maps fell short. With wildlife views, a well-equipped kitchen, and grocery stores just a 10-minute drive away, this place truly felt like home. We can’t wait to return with our pets!

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.

Robyn was always very quick to respond and answer questions. The house is a typical old Cornish stone cottage, basic but clean and tidy. It is a minute walk to the harbour and all of the restaurants, cafes and pubs nearby. It is located in a traffic free and very quiet area and at the front of the house is a little sheltered sun trap with a table and two chairs, which was a very welcome respite from the near gale out on the beach.

My daughters and I, had a wonderful stay. Sharon and her family are really helpful and lovely, The cottage is beautiful, had everything we needed and the location was perfect.

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

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. The James/Cronshaw families

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.

This is the 3rd time we’ve stayed here and equally as happy every time, cute little annex, with everything you could need. Location is fantastic, close to beautiful beaches and a bus stop just down the road with regular buses to st Ives and surrounding areas.

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.

The lodge was in a beautiful setting, perfect for families, a lovely safe environment. The accommodation itself was extremely spacious and spotlessly clean, the bathrooms were lovely, with towels and toiletries included. Upstairs was particularly spacious with amazing views. The hosts kindly provided us with initial provisions, like tea and coffee. It’s a great base to explore the surrounding area, and a lovely space to return to. I would definitely recommend this beautiful holiday home, and would return with my family.

Very comfortable stay, had everything we needed and more. We loved the walk to Maenporth beach as did our dogs and easy to walk into Falmouth. Shame we did not have longer to try the facilities on site! Shelley great at communicating, checking we had everything we needed. 5 stars!!!

Lovely apartment. Perfect location for exploring Newquay on foot and for local attractions. Apartment is large and the beds were comfy. Kitchen was equipped with everything we needed. Bonus little swimming pool in the complex, which our little kids loved. Thanks, Marcus!

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!

This place is BEAUTIFUL! Pia is a wonderful host, friendly and knowledgeable, and she left a laminated sheet with lots of recommendations for things to do in the local area which was very handy. Loved the Llamas, and Lily the dog, and seeing chickens walk past our window in the morning was great. Would definitely stay again, thank you for making our holiday even better ❤️

Fabulous find. Amazing location. Very quiet. Bed and sofa bed very comfy.

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 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
