Cornwall area / cottage recommendations

[wilbo83]

Looking to spend 4 nights to a week in Cornwall late May and have no idea about where to stay. We will be driving down so happy to get around by car. Would ideally like somewhere where we can walk to a pub in the evenings for a drink and meal, or a nearby town that is easily accessible (i.e. not too much in the middle of nowhere!). We are a married couple in our early 30s with no kids.

Would welcome any suggestions of areas or specific cottages (have been looking on classic cottages website)

Always like Porthleven - several excellent pubs, good restaurants and a nice setting, plus not too far from Falmouth, Marazion, St Ives etc either to drive or by bus.

I can recommend this cottage. Its very close to the town of Falmouth but feels like its in the middle of no where.

This website is very useful for finding nice cottages and you can filter on what is important to you. Standard stays are a week, but if contact the company they can do shorter stays.

That one is slightly over budget! Looks incredible though.

Thanks for all the suggestions so far.

Couldn’t be closer to the sea!
Very cosy during the weekends storms with wood burner on 24/7
Good pub at Helford Passage 1 mile walk along coast path, another at Mawnan Smith in the other direction.

When did you stay there? I only ask as it used to be mine! We sold it and the farm to which it belonged in April last year.

The new owners are still renting it out as a holiday cottage so it's still a great place to stay.

Thanks for this recommendation, we really liked the look of this place as wanted somewhere modern but still with the feel of an old cottage / barn, so have just booked it for a week. Looking forward to it.

I hope you enjoy it. We finished the conversion, putting in the woodburner, rediscovering the garden etc and owned it for eight years before we sold it last year. Falmouth is a great place to be too.
