Luxury Holiday Homes in Cornwall

254 properties from £279/wk · Top-rated: Meadowcroft (★ 10)

Cornwall's luxury rental market has grown substantially in the past decade, driven by properties that combine high-end interiors with genuinely special coastal or rural positions. At the top end, expect architect-designed homes with floor-to-ceiling glass above Watergate Bay, restored manor houses with heated pools near Padstow, and contemporary cliff-edge properties around St Ives and the Lizard. Luxury in Cornwall tends to mean quality of finish and location rather than five-star hotel service - these are still self-catering properties, though many include concierge options, private chefs on request, and weekly housekeeping.
