    A fantastic cottage in a beautiful location. Without doubt the best Air BnB or any other rental we have stayed in, in 29 years of travel. Would highly recommend. Owner Rebecca was very quick to respond and reassure us we would be safe after lockdown and made us feel very welcome on arrival. Helen, a neighbour, also introduced herself in Rebeccas absence so we had a point of contact if needed. We didn’t, everything was perfect. If available book this cottage you won’t regret it 😉

    My boyfriend and I had a great week staying at the cottage. The location is great – very close to St Ives and also an easy drive to the many great beaches/coves. The cottage itself was perfect – super cosy interior and a great garden to relax/eat in. We loved cooking in an Aga and having wood burning fires at the end of every day. Lastly, Beccie was super responsive to questions and proactive with the extensive precautions she was taking for Covid. Can’t wait to return someday!

    Would highly recommend Rebecca’s place. I had a wonderful stay, great location so lovely & peaceful. Helen was so welcoming & the little touches of bread, jam & scones were very welcoming. Great tips left for things to do & places to eat, I would stay here again.

    If this cottage is available… book it! Glorious space, excellent amenities, peaceful but convenient location and perfect host! Best airbnb we’ve been to in a long time! Beccie even left us gluten free bread on arrival as I am a coeliac! So wonderful, 5*

    Bracken Cottage is in a lovely, peaceful location, equally ideal for walkers looking to explore the area or drivers seeking somewhere extremely practical for St Ives, Marazion, etc. The cottage is spacious, tastefully decorated, and filled with books and art. Beccie is a friendly and speedy communicator and we had the loveliest week in her cottage, feeling immediately at home. Strongly recommended.

    Great little house, nice cream tea on arrival, butter bread and milk in the fridge and flowers on the table. Lovely little garden to sit in and admire the countryside. The cottage is on the St Michaels way and lovely walks around the cottage.

    A gorgeous cottage in peaceful surroundings; perfect for somewhere to unwind but also within easy reach by car of all of Cornwall’s major attractions. Rebecca is a perfect host; friendly, down-to-earth and available nearby if needed.

    We can’t recommend Rebecca’s beautiful cottage highly enough. The cottage is a really cosy home from home, set in a stunning and tranquil location. The location is perfect for exploring the surrounding area, with St Ives and St Michael’s Mount just a few miles away. We loved every minute and hope to return soon.

    A little Cornish gem! A beautiful cottage nestled in peaceful surroundings – what more could you ask for? My husband and I were delighted to find and book this for our little trip away and we certainly weren’t disappointed when we arrived. It was cosy, clean and charming in every way. We were even surprised to find freshly baked bread and scones with jam and clotted cream waiting for us, which we thoroughly enjoyed. While we were there, Helen from next door, did a fantastic job to ensure that we were comfortably settled and also gave us lots of helpful tips about exploring the area. Rebecca was brilliant too – booking the cottage was hassle free and she sent us lots of extra information about the location. Thank you Beccie for such a wonderful holiday

Bracken Cottage

Tucked away in an idyllic sheltered valley near St Ives in Cornwall is Bracken Cottage. It was built around 1800 for miners and is now a Grade II listed building which has been carefully renovated to retain its original character and charm, with exposed beams, wooden floors and open fire. The cottage is set amongst very pretty and calming gardens with a little stream running by..

It is the perfect cosy cottage for relaxing holidays and short breaks in Cornwall.
