The Best Cornish AirBnBs for a Unique Getaway

I’m a huge fan of Airbnb and am always on the look out for affordable, yet unique, places to stay here in Cornwall!

So I’ve scoured through my local Airbnb listings to find a selection of truly individual Cornish getaways, in case you’re fancying a trip here that has some real character! Cornwall is of course full of wonderful places to stay, so it can be tricky to sift through everything to find a hidden gem.

I’ve specifically searched for Cornish Airbnb listings that offer their entire space (rather than a room in a house etc.), and that are under £150 a night, while also making sure they’re interesting and individual too. I hope you like my selection and if you do end up coming to stay – have an amazing time in Cornwall!

Rustic, nautical cabin overlooking the sea (Portholland Bay)

Located in Portholland bay on the Roseland coast, this quaint little cabin has definitely brought the seaside inside with its nautical decor! The garden and general setting is to die for! Just imagine having a barbecue looking out to that view.

2 Guests | 1 Bedroom | from £80 per night 
“Secluded rustic cabin over looking the village of Portholland. Set in it’s own private garden, sea view on one side, beautiful wooded valley on the other. Perfect for get away from it all.”
