The 25 best holiday cottages, manors and Airbnbs to rent in Cornwall

It is no secret that trawling through the hundreds of houses, shepherd’s huts and apartments on house rental sites can be taxing. Indeed, it seems unfair that to plan the ultimate relaxing holiday, one must spend many a stressful afternoon clicking through the internet’s homestay muck. In Cornwall, the UK’s gloriously sea salty, sandy region, this inevitability seems especially true: there’s much on offer, but few rentals are to a high standard. Luckily, we at House & Garden have done the sleuthing for you, closing the harrowing gap between you and your next Cornwall holiday. Whether you’re after a unique converted barn or a sprawling former rectory with impressive sea views, we’ve rounded up the best, most stylish and charming holiday cottages that Cornwall has to offer.
