Holiday rentals with beach access in Porthleven

We had a lovely stay at The Old Cellars. The property was easy to find, even though it might seem a bit tricky at first. Inside, it was both spacious and cosy – just right for a few relaxing days away. The location is fantastic – right in the heart of the village and only a minute’s walk from the beach, local shop, and pub. Parking wasn’t far at all and didn’t cause any problems. We enjoyed a few scenic walks in both directions from the village – again, the location couldn’t have been better. A special touch was the Friday evening shanty singing at the pub opposite the bedroom window. It really added to the charm and atmosphere of the place. It was lovely to hear and made our stay even more memorable.

The location is central St Ives and is perfect for a small break in the town - the view from the kitchen/lounge over looks the harbour and is perfect to watch the slow early morning wake up

Really clean and cosy. Perfect distance to the high street and train station. Felt really safe in the neighborhood too ! Will definitely return

Great location and very easy to access from the clear instructions provided. Perfect for our work stay

This was the best place we stayed all holiday. The location is incredible, just steps from Bamaluz beach, with amazing views and the sound of the waves coming right into the house. We loved sitting on the balcony and watching all the dogs playing on the sand, and it was only ten minutes walk to all the main beaches in St Ives. The flat had everything we needed for a comfortable week’s stay. An absolutely perfect base for a beach holiday.

The stay was great it was in a good location. It was a 5-10 minute walk down to the bus and train station and 10-15 in to town and restaurant. The place had what we needed for our stay. Emma also had a folder with all the information you need for our stay and helpful recommendations for things to do and places to eat. If you needed anything else Emma was just a message away and was very helpful. Will be back again

As soon as we walked through that door we could see the beautiful sea and we were just in awe of the place. The location is 10/10, the apartment is stunning and so quiet and we didn’t really notice that we had neighbours which was lovely and made it feel private which is what we look for in a place. Cornwall as whole as well is just stunning and we HIGHLY recommend this place to anyone looking at it. We have found a special place and we will hopefully come back again and again. This is our happy place. We were so sad to leave as we had such a beautiful holiday. A lot of special memories made. The parking was very good, covered and easy to use, self check in is favourable, the checking in and out time is reasonable and the communication was very good. The train is so useful and we actually enjoyed watching that go by, the walking is amazing, the beach is beautiful, the views from the window and patio are amazing. The sofas and bed are very comfortable which is rare. Thank you so much.

Lovely and comfortable spot overlooking the the beautiful bay and harbor. Gorgeous views from the big window and the place has everything you need for a short stay in St Ives. Good location very close walking distance to the beach and central town. Jacob was a very helpful and responsive host and the house notes /directions are very clear. There's no parking in front of the house but the nearest public lot is about a 5 min walk away. Would recommend this sweet spot!

Probably the nicest place we have ever stayed! Deserves more than 5 stars. The location couldn't be better to get straight out to lots of beaches, bars etc. St Ives streets are small and traffic is restricted 930am to 4pm on the street but outside these times we found it easy to unload then booked a parking space 10 mins walk away on JustPark. The view has to be seen, it's even better than it looks... when people stop at the balcony for a picture you know it's the perfect spot - and we helped take a couple of pictures for them from above! The best thing was having a nice glass of wine on the armchairs with the windows open and listening to the waves and watching the change in tides. Spa bathroom was unreal as was everything really. Already looking at dates to come back! We also enjoyed Johns Wine Bar, The Host (had great live music), Mor Beach Cafe for morning rolls and James King for beautiful St Ives jewellery. Thanks again David we loved it all!

Lovely house in quiet square with a pub on the corner! Big kitchen, not that we cooked much as so many great places to eat! We had such a lovely time we extended our stay - twice! Mark was great with dealing with all our questions & requests. Great location, meaning you can walk round town no problem. But having parking permit real bonus, although don't forgot to display as we got a ticket! Also great base for exploring - St Ives, Lands End, Sennen Cove & Newlyn have great Fish 'n' Chips. Eden project is only just over an hour away depending on traffic. We walked across to St Michael's Mount & got a little boat back which was fun. So much to do! All the locals were very friendly and offered recommendations. Will be back as couldn't do everything in a week!

We loved staying at the property. It was bright and clean, and uncluttered. It had everything we needed, the kitchen was well equipped. The weather was changeable while we were there, but we felt very cosy when needed. The location is fantastic, we had come down by train, and were able to walk to Marazion. We also had access to the Penzance bus, which we used on our last day to get to the train station. There are also local shops and pubs within walking distance. Karly and her family were very friendly, we felt we could have approached them if we had needed anything. They had very thoughtfully left a bottle of wine and milk for when we arrived. We will be returning to Cornwall in the future, and would stay at this property again, it was such good value for money for the high standard of accommodation.

Absolutely loved our stay at Dans place, anything we needed him and Gary were super responsive and helpful! Would highly recommend!

We had a truly superb stay! The apartment was immaculately clean and incredibly well-equipped, providing everything we needed for a comfortable visit. Danielle and Mark were exceptional hosts, going above and beyond to make us feel welcome and at home. We particularly appreciated the comfortable bed, the wonderful hot shower, and the bonus of a private garden where we could unwind. The location was perfect, with a beautiful, golden-sand beach just a walk away – it was lovely to sit at the bar there and admire the view. The scenic public footpath to St Ives was also a real highlight.

Margaret’s place was perfect for our 2 week holiday in Cornwall. Ideally situated very close to St Erth railway station which was perfect for us as we decided to travel without the car and use public transport to get around. The bungalow was spacious, very clean, very well equipped with everything you need for a self catering holiday. The fully enclosed garden with seating, Sun loungers and bbq is a great asset when the weather permits! Margaret is a great host, good communication and quick response. The accommodation is exactly as described in the listing. We travelled via train & bus to St Ives, Penzance, Mousehole, Falmouth, Truro, Padstow and Newquay, all easily accessible from St Erth station. Locally we ate at The Watermill pub which was a 15 minute stroll away, friendly staff and tasty food. Hayle is only a 3 minute rail journey away (or a 20-30 min walk) and has an expanse of beach which is perfect to visit on a hot sunny day. We would definitely choose to stay here again!!

An amazing find with a beautiful view of the sea, even from bed! Was super relaxing waking up with that view! We did wear sleep masks as it can get super bright but worth it for the views 🥰🥰 Everything we needed was available, and although no garden for doggos, there is plenty of areas for them to go out along the road, and near coastal path! Bed was SUPER comfy and the shower was amazing! Melinda was super helpful if we had a question and was so kind!

Deborah & Martin's property is every bit as good as the listing promises-it is well designed, beautifully appointed and immaculately maintained throughout. The surroundings are entirely peaceful yet accessible (we saw buzzards, bunnies and bats) and the kitchen is a particular stand out for those of us who like to prepare our own meals on holiday, being both spacious and fully equipped with quality tableware and equipment. Deborah was responsive and attentive from the time of booking to the end of the stay but left us to our own devices. Highly recommended.

Excellent place, Mitch was very helpful with recommendations and all the essentials were provided free of charge in his place. Lovely apartment and perfect for me. Amazing location in town and lots to do around and nearby. Perfect for the weekend break!

My daughter and I stayed for a few days and the apartment was perfect. Great location, very close to shops, restaurants and the beach. Apartment was clean, tidy and looked exactly like the photos. View was beautiful! Has everything you would need. Paul was very helpful and quick to respond to any questions I had. We had an amazing few days in St Ives and will definitely be staying at the apartment again in the future.

Damian was very friendly and helpful especially when it came down to finding the parking. Very easy to talk to when it came to checking in/out. Highly recommend this place and could have stayed longer!

So nice to arrive after a long journey to find the water hot with excellent shower facilities, a welcoming comfortable bed with good quality bedding. We were told it was dog friendly, so we were appreciative to find bowls, towel etc., should you forget. The location was ideal for exploring the North Coast and we made full use of our NT membership. Wonderful dog friendly beaches and eating establishments very accomodating. we particularly enjoyed Godrevy and Holywell Coves. ''Tap House'' in St Agnes is a must , great food reasonably priced , but make sure you book and allow time for parking.

Lovely clean flat with loads of space just a few minutes from the station.

Martha's place was the perfect spot for a holiday in Falmouth! Super easy to walk into town. Very clean and bright. Had everything we needed.

This is a small apartment and it is perfect for 2 adults. The location of the apartment is excellent for walks along the South west coast path. There is a nice little fish and chip shop and a pub, in the village, that both serve good food. I am a Coeliac on a Gluten Free diet and I had no problem eating at both establishments. The location of this Airbnb is definitely worth the money.

Fantastic location with amazing views. Outstanding beach and only a five minute walk to the incredible Minack theatre. Very spacious apartment, spotlessly clean with excellent facilities. We had a brilliant holiday, felt like we were abroad. Would definitely recommend to family and friends. Hope to revisit.
