A little more personal. A lot more Cornish.

We’re proudly based here in Cornwall, and that local connection is at the heart of everything we do.

We know our homes. We know the beaches, villages and hidden corners around them. We know where to go for a brilliant Sunday lunch, where to find the best sunset, which beach works when the wind changes direction and where to head for a long dog walk followed by a good pub.

And we love sharing all of it with our guests.

Beautiful homes, chosen with care

We’ve never wanted to have hundreds of properties simply for the sake of having hundreds of properties.

Our collection is deliberately handpicked, with each home chosen because there’s something genuinely special about it.

That might be an incredible sea view, a gate straight onto the beach, a beautiful interior, a hot tub overlooking the ocean or simply a location that makes you want to come back year after year.

From large coastal homes made for family celebrations to romantic hideaways and apartments overlooking the sea, every Cornish Stays property has its own personality.

The one thing they all have in common is somewhere we’d be genuinely excited to stay ourselves.

Award Winning Holidays

Cornwall isn’t just where we work

It’s home.

Being based in Cornwall means we’re constantly out and about discovering and rediscovering the places our guests come here to enjoy.

You’ll often find us down on the beach, walking the coast path, trying somewhere new for lunch or capturing a beautiful Cornish morning to share on our social pages.

It means our recommendations come from real experience rather than a generic visitor guide.

Whether you want to know where to eat in St Mawes, the best beach for the children, where you can take the dog, where to book a surf lesson or simply where to sit with a glass of wine and watch the sun disappear into the sea, just ask us.

Holidays are about more than the house

Of course, finding an amazing place to stay matters.

But some of the best holiday memories happen outside it too.

That’s why we love helping guests make a little more of their time in Cornwall.

Fancy a private chef coming to the house for a special dinner? We can help. Want to organise surf lessons, find a great local restaurant or add something special to a birthday or anniversary? Give us a shout.

Sometimes it’s the smallest touches that end up being the things you remember.

Friendly, personal service

Booking a holiday should feel exciting, not complicated.

We’ve kept Cornish Stays personal enough that you can actually talk to someone who knows the homes and knows the area.

Whether you’re trying to choose between two properties, need help planning a big family stay or have a question while you’re here, our team is always happy to help.

There are systems behind the scenes that keep everything running smoothly, but we never want Cornish Stays to feel faceless.

Good old-fashioned friendly service still matters to us.

Homes for making memories

Over the years we’ve welcomed couples escaping for a few quiet days by the sea, families returning for their annual Cornish holiday, four-legged guests discovering the beach for the first time and generations of families getting together under one roof.

We’ve hosted birthdays, anniversaries, Christmases, proposals, reunions and plenty of holidays where absolutely nothing was being celebrated other than a week away together.

And really, that’s what Cornish Stays is all about.

Beautiful homes, friendly service, genuine local knowledge and Cornish holidays you’ll want to come back to.

We can’t wait to welcome you.
