Cottage holiday rentals in Mawnan Smith

Lovely few days in half term with the kids. Unable to use the hot tub as weather was relentless and was windy and wet. Driveway is a bit ropey so careful if your car is low to the ground! Hosts were really helpful and even had a visit from one of the cats!

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!

We had a lovely few days away in Nancy’s House and couldn’t fault it at all. There is everything you need in order to feel right at home as soon as you arrive. We really appreciated the wonderful home made cream tea that greeted us after many hours of travelling! We cooked in the house each night so can’t comment on local pubs etc as the whole purpose of our stay was for peace and quiet. It really is a peaceful haven, away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life with gorgeous views. We walked up on the hills and down to the hidden beach, both were beautiful. The fact that the whole farm, cottage included, is sustainable, and provides for itself, is truly impressive and a testament to the work that Lisa, Piers and team have put into creating it. Take some time to walk up to the willow labyrinth and appreciate the time and work that’s been invested in it - we’d love to see how it grows over the years! All in all a perfect few days away.

Extremely responsive hosts. Stunningly beautiful home. Few little niggles with there being no hot water in the shower but Vince and Beckie responded immediately when messaged and the issue was fixed within a matter of minutes. The tumble dryer didn’t seem to be working properly but no major issue - again, mentioned it to our hosts and I’ve no doubt the issue will be fixed for the next guests. Fantastic hot tub - so often with outdoor tubs you find they start getting cold after a few minutes, but not this one, it was great. Beautiful little dog walk/ view point only a couple of minutes walk to the left of the house. Suuuppperrrrr comfy beds. Loved it, loved our stay. Highly recommend.

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!

This was the second time we stayed here and we had such an incredible time. There’s a reasons we came back - it’s perfectly positioned with a short walk to the beautiful beach, and is a lovely property with such amazing spaces. The kids (and their mum) loved winding down in the hot tub and we enjoyed evenings around the fire pit. We can’t recommend it enough.

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:)

The cottage was wonderful. Everything you could need in a fabulous location on the wild cliff path but with the convenience of the nearby village. It was peaceful, private and homely. Sturdy enough to keep us warm and dry in the heavy weather. Great outside space when the sun came out. Delicious local treats on arrival. We loved our time here and would love to return.

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.

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!!!

We had a lovely few days a Wisteria Cottage. The surroundings are beautiful and it was so peaceful. Walking from this location was a dream with access to the South West Coast Path very close by. The cottage had everything we needed and was warm and dry after wet walks! Thank you

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.

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!

Nice and clean. The house is lovely and well decorate of interior designe. Warm welcome with milk, jam, scone and cookies. The place is easy to find especially when watching a video clip. Love to come back.

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

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

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!

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 loved the cottage, everything was great. Pen was a fantastic host. It was all clean, nicely decorated and well equipped. We couldn’t fault it.

Really enjoyed staying here, although just a weekend break I would happily stay for longer. It is so peaceful. There is a great pub, the Smugglers Den, down the lane which is walkable. We specifically stayed here for a Fishermen’s Friend concert in Perranporth, which we also walked to! the walk is well worth it and Perranporth itself is a fantastic place to visit. All in all Becky’s place is in a great location if you want peace and quiet but easily accessible to all the area has to offer.

Absolutely beautiful place to stay in Cornwall. It felt like we were abroad as we were able eat breakfast outside our little cottage because the weather was so gorgeous. The cottage was very comfortable - great sofa, comfy bed, great shower. Felt like home. We loved the peaceful surroundings and enjoyed the beautiful views. We also fell in love with Polperro just down the road. A must visit! We were very sad to leave at the end of our stay.
