We’ve just enjoyed a wonderfully relaxing ten days at Rainbow’s End.Geraldine was the perfect host, expertly balancing being contactable when we needed help, with leaving us alone to make the most of her incredibly stylish home.The house had everything we could ask for; from a modern, fully-equipped kitchen, to the fast, reliable wifi and all the streaming channels.The location was great too - just a two-minute walk to the quiet end of the beach, while also being a short drive to either Penzance or Helston. And we must remember to mention the constant visits from the local rabbits and the best stargazing hammock ever. We definitely hope to return one day.

Lovely, comfortable home in a beautiful location. Praa sands beach in a 2 minute walk away and is large enough that you can find quiet spot even in high season. Convenient for many other great beaches and locations including the Minnack theatre, St Ives and St Michaels Mount. Check in was easy - the owners were helpful without being intrusive. Thank you for a fantastic stay!

Amazing house, tranquil location, ready for family fun

We had a great time staying at this property in Praa Sands. The location was ideal for us because we wanted to do day trips but avoid some of the crowds of places like St. Ives. The house was ideally set up for our three-generation group. We loved sitting out on the patio watching the ocean in the distance and we really enjoyed the proximity to the beach. The beach is really clean and nice and sandy. The owners were extremely responsive whenever we had questions - fantastic stay!

A little slice of heaven

I think it's true to say that we all fell in love with Rainbow's End. It's an amazing property in a perfect location. So nice to go to sleep listening to the sea and wake to the view of the bay. The fire pit was brilliant - the kids loved toasting marshmallows. And the outside shower was perfect to rinse off salt and sand in lovely warm water! I am sure we will be back!

Delightful beach home perfect for all weathers

We loved the location very near the beautiful sandy surfing beach of Praa Sands and also near the local Sandy Stores for daily fresh Cornish pasties and vicky’s fresh bread. Very tastefully furnished relaxing well designed property in an excellent location. Very responsive and helpful hosts. Informative literature and recommendations for local walks and outings. We had a week of rain and mist but that didn’t stop us from walking a lot and swimming (we had our wetsuits for extra insulation thankfully).

Beautiful home in an amazing beach location.

We all loved staying at Rainbow’s End in Praa Sands. The view of the sea from most rooms and the large raised garden decking really make the most of the beach location , and it’s only a 2 minute walk from the garden down to the long sandy beach . We were 3 generations staying in the house , and the layout meant it worked very well for everyone’s needs. It’s a well designed , light filled home . The quality and design of the fixtures and furniture , plus the interesting artwork and many books mean it felt very welcoming. We would love to stay again . Geraldine was a great host throughout , her communication was second to none , checking that we had everything we needed once we had arrived .

Beautiful cottage with sea views in a stunning location

Rainbow’s End is a stunning cottage in Praa Sands, which enjoys beautiful sea views from almost every window in the house! Kitchen is really modern and has all the utensils, pots, pans, etc you could ask for. The rest of the cottage is really homely, with comfy sofas, beds and bedding and also beautiful big bi fold doors allowing you to capture the full view! There are plenty of creature comforts such as tv, board games and dvd / PlayStation to enjoy. The outside space (deck and large garden) are superb for outside lunches, dinners or sundowners. The gas bbq is a welcome addition too :-) It’s a 5 minute walk to a mile long stretch of sandy beach, and from the beach (or road) you can walk 300-400m along to the beachside cafe and pub (bit busier but still plenty of space!)

Tolles, großes Haus. Die Wohnzimmerfenster können als Falttüren geöffnet werden, so dass man das Wohnzimmer in die Terrasse integriert hat. Die Küchenausstattung ist fantastisch, Salz, Pfeffer, viele Gewürze, Öl, Frischhaltefolie, Gefrierbeutel, Küchenrolle, Backutensilien, ausreichend Kochgeschirr. Ofen, Tiefkühler, großer Kühlschrank, Mikrowelle, Waschmaschine... es fehlte nichts. Die Betten waren okay, oben ein 160 cm Bett, unten 140 cm und zwei Einzelbetten. Die großen Betten sind mit einer Bettdecke für 2 Personen. Bäder sind praktisch mit genug Abstellfläche und super flauschige Handtücher. Im Garten ist eine Gartendusche mit Warmwasseranschluss, man kann also ausgiebig duschen und ist dabei auch Blickgeschützt, perfekt im Sommer nach dem Strand. Das Haus ist sehr ruhig gelegen die Straße ist nur tagsüber mäßig mit PKWs und Bus befahren ist (einspurig), da sie nur zum Strand/Parkplatz/Beachbar führt. Man hört das Meer, Vögel und im Garten sind wilde Hasen, alles perfekt aus der Hängematte zu genießen.Zum Strand 2 Minuten durch den Garten und die Dünen, ohne Straße. Bei uns war es nur am bewachten Strand etwas voller, sonst leer. Die Sauberkeit bei Ankunft war okay, in der Küche waren hier und da Krümel, runter gelaufener Saft, Spinnenweben... Bäder (Klo, Wanne, Waschbecken) waren sehr neu und sauber. Es war toll, Geraldine super nett, hilfsbereit, immer erreichbar. Der perfekte Urlaub!

Wir hatten in diesem wundervollen Haus einen sehr schönen Urlaub. Die Lage ist wunderbar, sehr ruhig und mit herrlichem Blick auf das Meer, welches in 1 Min. zu fuß erreichbar ist. Wir haben uns sehr wohlgefühlt in Cornwall, und wenn man nach erlebnisreichen Tagen in so ein schönes Haus zurückkehrt, macht es den Aufenthalt noch wertvoller. Die Eigentümer haben an alles gedacht, das Haus ist sehr geschmackvoll eingerichtet und top ausgestattet. Zudem findet man zahlreiche Tipps und Infos über die Region und Vorschläge für Unternehmungen und Wanderungen an der schönen Küste. Wenn wir noch einmal nach Cornwall reisen würden wir sehr gerne wieder kommen!Beste Grüße Peter, Sophie, Michel, Kati, Klaus und Heidi.

Großartiger Urlaub in Praa Sands

Wir waren als Familie mit zwei Kindern eine Woche in Rainbow's End und hatten einen großartigen Aufenthalt. Die ganze Familie hat sich super wohl gefühlt. Das Haus ist super großzügig, toll eingerichtet und mit allem ausgestattet was man braucht. Wir hatten einige Regentage, so dass wir den Garten und die tolle Terrasse nicht ganz so oft genutzt haben. Aber auch bei regnerischen Tagen war das Haus klasse. Es gibt genug Platz um sich auch mal aus dem Weg zu gehen oder gemeinsam am Kamin zu sitzen. Wir würden auf jeden Fall wieder kommen, wenn wir noch mal in die Gegend reisen.

Blissful stay at Rainbow's End

My family and I (two adults and two children aged 10 and 13) spent a blissful week at Rainbow's End to round off the school holidays. The weather was kind and Praa Sands beach was a revelation - golden sand, crystal clear water, rock pools and surf galore. However, the icing on the cake was staying at Rainbow's End which offers everything you could possibly want in a holiday home - from the expansive decking and garden with uninterrupted sea views, to the generously proportioned bedrooms, luxurious lounge areas and modern kitchen/diner. It's clearly a labour of love for the hosts who were in regular contact throughout our stay to make sure we had everything we needed. Thank you for having us, we'll definitely be back!

Fabulous house, fantastic location to explore south west Cornwall!

Couldn't have been in. a better place to explore South West Cornwall with a house overlooking one of the best beaches in Cornwall. Rainbow's End was perfect for our party of six, with lovely bedrooms, spacious living areas and a wonderful raised balcony overlooking the sea and the large gardens. The hosts couldn't have been more helpful in every way. The sandy beach is absolutely stunning with direct access to the Cornish Coastal Path. Lots to do - Lands End, Penzance just down the coast, St Michaels Mount, Cornish Seal Sanctuary, St Ives, plus lots of nice restaurants, and pubs on the doorstep, including a beach bar where you can sit and chill watching the sea and beach. Wish we had booked an extra week - it was a super holiday!
