About this cottage rental

Set on Headland Road and equipped to offer guests with everything they could need to be completely comfortable during their stay, Mermaid Cottage includes a kitchen/dining area with a lovely big table for converging round after a day spent down at the beach. The cosy living room with its sofas and TV is great for chilling out in the evenings, and there's more than enough space for everyone to get comfy with a movie or their favourite show. Outside, the garden which lies to the back of the house, has an outdoor dining suite for fresh air feasts, and plenty of grass for a game of boule or badminton. There’s also a delightful balcony off one of the bedrooms which has sea views and is perfect for a bit of relaxation in the sunshine, cup of coffee or glass of fizz in hand.

The home’s four bedrooms lie upstairs on the first floor and include two super kings (with the option of converting to twins), a bunk room which is ideally suited to children, and a room with a double sofa bed which accesses the balcony. There’s also a family bathroom on this floor with bath and shower over, while a separate cloakroom can be found off the hall on the ground floor.

Just 3 minutes’ walk from the SW Coast Path, those who enjoy scenic strolls will love how easy it is to Hawkes Point where the views over the bay are stunning. Porthkidney Sands lies close by and offers the wild tranquility and beauty of a mile-long beach which is backed by sand dunes. Of course, Carbis Bay Beach is the place to be if you’re into watersports and sunbathing. With its turquoise water, fine white sand and beach-based surf centre it’s an idyllic place for days out. You’ll also discover a clutch of first-class restaurants right by the sea, and for a shopping or culture fix as well as more dining options, the iconic town of St Ives is easily reached by car or train.

For guest’s safety, Mermaid Cottage has a motion sensor Ring Doorbell, which records guests and visitors when approaching the front door.

Pets: 1 pet allowed. Please advise the Luxury Coastal team directly if you would like us to host your pet after completing your booking. A charge of £40 per pet per stay/week will be applicable and required before your stay. We will arrange and invoice with you directly upon booking confirmation.

Good Housekeeping Bond
We ask our guests for a £200 good housekeeping bond, which is pre-authorised against your card. This is in case there is any damage to the property during your stay. The money is simply reserved and then released afterwards if there is no claim. We will contact you nearer the time of your arrival to arrange this.

A spacious 4 bedroomed holiday home in an excellent location. Close to the beach and you can get the train to St Ives very close by. The kitchen was well equipped and living room relaxing. The garden wasn’t suitable for children and needs some TLC.

We absolutely loved staying in Mermaid Cottage. The house was absolutely spotless including the fridge, dishwasher etc... I could see that the cleaner had been meticulous. The location is perfect with just a few minutes stroll from Carbis bay beach in one direction and Porthkidney beach in the other. The kitchen was well equipped with everything we needed and the lounge was very comfortable and relaxing. The beds were really comfortable and the whole cottage had really good storage. We will definitely look to stay again in the future.

Property felt unloved and photos made it look a lot better than it was. Garden very unkept, lawn not cut. Door handles falling off. No welcome pack or any instructions for the house. I would not return to this property. Felt over charged for what it was.

Lovely break away, property was clean inside and lovely location. Couple of things. Garden had not been checked as very deceased rat on lawn, been there a long time and was disgusting to have to bag up after dog had found it. Someone elses full poo bags also out there. Couple of bulbs missing with no replacements and also we couldnt get on freesat no connection available. Owner also has blocked gutter above front door, large amounts of water cascading down.

We stayed at Mermaid Cottage in October and were blessed with lovely weather. This meant we could take advantage of all the places we wanted to visit that were either in walking distance, a short train ride or a drive within 1 hour. The South West Coastal path is a few minutes walk from the door step and the train station a 10 minute walk and only a 4 minutes ride to St Ives. The house is a warm and welcoming home, with a lovely kitchen with a large table perfect for families to share meals and a sheltered and private garden. The living room has a big comfy sofa and the bedrooms have insanely comfortable beds. The front bedroom has a view of the sea, beaches and coastline. It really was a lovely home to spend our Cornwall break and we wouldn't hesitate in returning for another holiday. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

Mermaid Cottage was a lovely home - ideal for our group of ladies and so close to the beach (we spent every day on the beach) Versatile as all rooms bar the sofa bed could be spilt into singles. Great size kitchen and dining table meant we had fun evening meals together. Would recommend for.a by group of friends or a family. Great communication and def would book.again.

Nice little cottage in a great location. Ideal for leaving your car and exploring Carbis bay & St Ives. Perfect for dog owners as there is a dog friendly beach within 1 mile.
