Comments and photos from our guests:
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! Helen and family. August 2022.
Lovely stay ❤️ Great communication with the owner, fab base to explore. Felt very homely. Terrific views. Clair and family. August 2022.
Our third time in six years in this lovely house We enjoyed it very much. The garden, the beach, all are fantastic. We found a lot of new places and there are some more, so we will come back. Jenni, Ingo, and family from Germany. July 2022.
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! Rob and family. June 2022.
We had such an incredible time at Rainbow's End. The holiday was amazing and unforgettable. We enjoyed the hours after the beach, here in the house with BBQ and breakfast in the sun. I love the flowers in the garden and spectacular views to the sea. The German family from Würzburg. June 2022.
Beach holiday home from home We love Rainbows End and return whenever possible. It is always such a joy to stay in this house and visit our favourite places. Tess and family, June 2022.
Lovely property We had a great holiday. Beautiful well equipped house a stones throw from the beach, Great weather thrown in!! Sarah and family. May 2022.
Wonderful Geraldine and Stephen's house is very tastefully decorated with stylish touches. Art in the house and garden. The view from the house is breathtaking. First glimpse in the morning and last in the evening of the soothing wide sea and the Cornish coast. Praa Sands is small, fine and pleasant. The beautiful beach for swimming and walking can be reached in 2 minutes. We felt very comfortable in the house. It's like an oasis in touristy Cornwall. The owners are excellent and very accommodating hosts, everything worked out great. We have done many wonderful hikes and trips to towns and gardens. Our highlight was the visit to the Geevor Tin Mine, very moving. Many thanks Geraldine and Stephen for allowing us to spend our holidays in your beautiful house. Simone and family, April 2022.

Fabulous second visit I have now stayed at this property twice and would not hesitate in returning. Geraldine is a very welcoming and attentive host and the property is perfectly situated for the beach. Would highly recommend. Kimeya and friends. August 2021.
Thank you very much for letting us stay at your amazing house! We so enjoyed the location very much and the outdoor shower came in very handy for sand. the fire-pit let us tell great stories and the view is amazing. Jason and family. July 2021.
A perfect week in Cornwall Rainbows end is so well located. Not just for immediate access to coastal path and peas sands beach but for exploring the best beaches in Cornwall. Every day was filled with exploring the coastline. The house itself was a great and we loved staying here. Perfect views of the sea. Thank you. Jane and family. July 2021.
Just fantastic Geraldine is a great host who was very responsive to all our requests and clear and timely in her communications. The house itself is amazing and very homely. On hot days there is the beautiful garden and nearby beach, and on days where the weather lets you down there is plenty of space to relax and unwind whilst looking out to sea. The location is great - close enough to all major attractions and far enough away from all the madding crowds. It really didn't disappoint in any way. We really hope to return one day if we can. Gerry and family. July 2021.
Comfortable home with great sea views Spacious well equipped comfortable family house with personal touches of artwork. Great balcony for taking in the sea views, in good location close to the beach and local shops. Made a great base for exploring this area, Geraldine was always quick to respond to any queries. Would love to stay again! Jenny and family. June 2021.
Perfect Location! Rainbows End was the perfect place for a relaxing week by the sea. Beautiful views from the house. The beach is stunning, so so close and very quiet - even though we visited during a very warm and sunny school holiday and know other beaches were packed! Very easy access to the nearby towns and villages along the coast. Geraldine is a fabulous host and replies v. quickly! Helen and family, May 2021.
Fantastic spot for. holiday Lovely accommodation with a wonderful view and short walk to the beach. Amazing veranda. Spent many happy hours reading and watching the rabbits. We had a fantastic walk around Loe Pool and a lovely afternoon at Tremenheere Sculpture Park, plus wonderful coastal path and best ice cream in Mousehole. Ann, Richard and Barbara. April 2021.

Perfect We were overjoyed to see this beautiful house on arrival. The veranda and sea views are stunning as is the interior that manages to be both contemporary and homely at the same time. The area (Praa Sands) gave us a quiet large beach at our base camp which allows access to almost anywhere in Cornwall within 30 mins. I also liked the quality sound systems, veranda and warm outdoor shower. It's even better than the pictures convey. It's the perfect place to be for a trip to Cornwall. Oh and the host Geraldine was incredible - helpful and communicative too. Anyway enough said. Paul and family. August 2020.
Thank you Geraldine for creating such a perfect holiday spot! House, garden and location were great. Even though the weather was very British, Rainbow's End was a great location to hibernate and watch the changing weather. The Goddards from Harrogate. August 2020.
Amazing house, amazing location Loved every minute - reluctant to say how much as want to book it again for myself! Don't even think about it - just book it! you won't regret it. magical place Chana and family. August 2020.
Very nice property This is a beautiful and comfortable property, with lovely views from pretty much every window and easy access to the beach as well as to other delightful places in West Cornwall. The property is spacious, easily absorbing a family of two adults and three teens, and offers all amenities for both sunny and rainy days. Elke and family. July 2020.
Beautiful views from every window in the house. Thank you so much for our stay and to get a brief moment of calm during this global pandemic.

Exceeded expectations We really enjoyed our time in Praa Sands. The property was very baby friendly thanks to Geraldine, and overall had plenty of space and amenities for the adults in the group. Easy beach access as well. Geraldine was fantastic to interact with and we would not hesistate to return (we hope to)! William and family. July 2020.
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!)
Stefan and family, August 2019.
We LOVED Rainbow's End and Praa Sands! The house is so stylish, comfortable and spacious. The weather was gorgeous during our five day stay, so we opened the doors from the living room to the deck. The garden and yard are lovely also.We saw a mouse sitting on top of the hedge eating berries! The house was so serene, we made day trips, but hated to leave! We would love to return one day. Thank you.

Loved the house, easy walk to fabulous beach We had a very happy time at Rainbows End.
Peter and Family, August 2019.
Great cottage, great location This was the second time we have stayed in this cottage. It is very well looked after and has everything you need - from great kitchen equipment to board games, books and films. Love the location near the beach and easy reach of many of south Cornwalls coves. Would highly recommend for families. I'm sure we will be going back!
Andrew & family, July 2019.
Fantastic stay - beautiful house and garden, very relaxing and well equipped Loved the light kitchen diner with views, the outside decking area, and the sociable vibe to the house. Geraldine was in regular contact and left a delicious welcome pack
Claudia and family, July 2019.
Excellent, well equipped Perfect location for a seaside holiday.
Tess and family, June 2019.
As good as before We stayed the week with our two grown up children, playing golf, going to the Minack theatre and eating very well. The house suits our requirements perfectly being comfortable and stylish and well placed both for trips and for walks along the beach.
Julien and family, April 2019.
Paradise at Rainbow's End Rainbow's End is a special house with sea views from most rooms. It is completely private with no one overlooking the property or garden. It is well equipped and comfortably furnished with plenty of interesting books and DVDs as well as a selection of games for rainy days. Located on the south coast, there is easy access by scenic train ride (or car) to St Ives, and by car to Newlyn, Penzance, Marazion, Porthleven, Falmouth etc. There is plenty to see in the area from dolmens and standing stones, the old tin mines, beautiful private and National Trust gardens, a Seal Sanctuary, and wonderful walks. For foodies there are excellent Michelin recommended restaurants in the above mentioned towns. We would love to return to Rainbow's End for another holiday.

It is always a pleasure to come to this lovely house with its wonderful view. We love it and hope to come again soon.
Ingo and family, Germany, August 2018. We had a wonderful week in your house. Especially the great views and Sandy beach we enjoyed the most. The coastal path gave us a great way to enjoy beautiful Cornwall. Thanks for everything. Klaus and family, Germany, Airbnb, August 2018. Fantastic house in a brilliant location. Wonderful house, we felt at home and relaxed straight away. The property has everything you need and more. Thank you so much for a lovely holiday. Owners Direct. August 2018, A wonderful house with the best view and you hear the sea when you lay in bed. Everything you need is there! Jennifer B and family, Germany, Owners Direct, August 2018. We spent two lovely weeks here in this amazing house. We enjoyed every minute and what we will miss the most are the breathtaking views. Family Hofner, Switzerland, July-August 2018. Fantastic house in a great location and super-nice owner. Heike B and family, Germany, Owners Direct, June 2018. Wonderful setting and stylish property. A very well designed and stylish property set in the middle of Praa Sands with a lovely view out to sea. The large decking area is excellent for sitting in the sun. Julian and family, UK, Owners Direct, April 2018. The house is perfect and the location a dream. The holiday in Praa Sands charmed my partner and I. Our expectations were exceeded. The house offers lots of space, the furnishings are great and the view is terrific. The wonderful terrace and the large garden invite you to linger. We loved the peace and quiet. The house was very clean and the welcome food package was both useful and a lovely gesture. Geraldine's care and communication before and during the holiday was always warm and perfect. We will be back. Franziska and partner, Switzerland, Owners Direct, September 2017. Spacious yet cosy house in a great location. Loads to do! We really enjoyed our 10 day stay at Praa Sands and made the most of the house's BBQ, Wetsuits and Body Boards - beach is 2 mins walk. The house was plenty big enough for our family of 5, yet cosy in the evenings. Although we had mixed weather, we managed to fit in; A coastal walk to Porthleven (dinner at Rick Stein's), Cycling around Loe Lake, Godolphin House and Hill, St. Michael's Mount (go early to avoid queues), St. Ives, Minack Theatre as well as various beaches. The highlight for the kids and me was Coasteering from Praa Sands - great fun. There are lots of old pubs and quality seafood restaurants in the neighbouring villages/towns. We'll be back... Gary and family, UK, Owners Direct, August 2017 Rainbow's End at Praa Sands is a beautiful house in an excellent location with a lovely garden and so close to the beach. The house is very clean and tidy with excellent cooking facilities, including a barbecue, and lovely views overlooking the sea. We will recommend it to friends and family and hope to use it again ourselves. Elizabeth and family, UK, Airbnb, August 2017. The kitchen was brilliantly stocked, and much appreciated. We loved the house and location and had a wonderful week, thank you! Andy and family, UK, Owners Direct, July 2017. |
Beautiful house in a fantastic location: We had a lovely week at Rainbow's End. The house left nothing to be desired. Especially the terrace with the great ocean view invites you to linger. A highlight is the very short walk to the beach. The house and its wonderful surroundings is unrestricted recommendable for a family vacation.
Christian and family, Wolfsburg, Germany, Owners Direct, July 2017.
Fantastic location, beautiful house and wonderful view: We had a lovely time at Rainbows End. The house is in a perfect location just a short walk to the stunning beach and down a flight of steps. The view from the deck was fantastic. Communication with the owners was very good and they couldn't do enough to help us although there was nothing lacking at the property which was well equipped for self catering and entertainment. We will definitely be returning in the future!
Fiona and family, UK, Owners Direct, July 2017.
Stylish and comfortable family home away from home: A perfect house for our family reunion (5 adults) in a part of Cornwall that has so much to offer. We were two minutes walk from Praa Sands, a beautiful, clean beach with good waves for hours of body boarding after long, scenic walks along the coast path. The house is well equipped and comfortable and we really appreciated the stylish interior. The bi-folding doors open the whole house up to the large garden and sitting on the large deck for meals/evening drinks was probably our favourite activity! We stayed before the main holiday season and it was nice and quiet. I imagine that Praa sands is a very popular beach in the summer, particularly as there is a RNLI lifeguard presence during the day, but the size and secluded nature of the plot would provide a peaceful retreat from holiday crowds. The two local cafes provided basic food and drinks and it was possible to book lessons in surfing and to hire equipment. We were pleased that we had brought wet suits as this made it possible to stay in the sea for even longer. Geraldine was exceptionally helpful and prompt in responding to inquiries and the Welcome Pack was greatly appreciated. We all agreed, as we watched the sun go down on our last evening sitting on the deck, that we would like to return for two weeks next time.

We had a really lovely time in your beautiful, homely house. Everyone loved it. It's in a perfect spot. There was plenty of space for all of us and had everything we could possibly need. Thank you so much for the generous pack of supplies you left for us. They were greatly appreciated.
Our granddaughter aged 4 summed it up.... "Best holiday ever" !!! Thank you again. We are so glad we chose your house for our celebrations. Gwyneth and 3 generations, UK, August 2017 |

Beautiful House, fantastic location and a great host: My wife and I stayed in Rainbows End with our two daughters - aged four and two - and my parents. 3 generations under one roof. The house was perfect for us - big, bright and spacious. It is one of the best equipped holiday rentals we have stayed in. Geraldine has gone to a lot of effort to ensure there is activities for all weather. The location in Praa Sands is great. The beach is beautiful, there are plenty of nice walking tracks to explore with amazing scenery in all directions. There is a nice little pub right on the beach just 5 minute walk away. Very easy with two little ones in tow. Praa Sands is a really well located base for exploring Cornwall. Despite being mid-term holidays we were able to fairly easily drive from Lands End to St Ives and out to Lizard without many traffic problems. Geraldine is a very responsive host and really helpful whenever we had questions or issues. We hope to be back in Praa Sands in the not too distant future.

Memories for many generations: My wife's mother came to Toronto, Canada from London in 1957. She wanted to revisit happy childhood memories of the Cornwall area with her daughter and grandson and asked if I could organize the trip for her. From my first email enquiries through telephone conversations, Geraldine was super friendly, courteous and informative. The house was perfectly suited to their needs and ideally situated for their day trips from one end of Cornwall to the other. She so fell in love with the home she had cousins from London visit for a few days. Everyone loved it.
Pete and family, Canada, Owners Direct, May 2017.
It does not get any better! We absolutely recommend: I have booked many apartments and houses and have never experienced such facilities and hearty care. When you arrive there is a welcome package with everything needed for the start of your holiday - eggs, milk, butter, cereals, bread, coffee, tea ..... The house is like a private house exchange: From an incredible spice selection, books, CDs, DVDs and games for rainy days, kitchen equipment with baking, picnic accessories, measuring cups .... there is everything! The beds are very comfortable and the layout was perfect for us. The distance to the beach is short, the view wonderful and the tips and descriptions by Geraldine totally comprehensive. We spent wonderful hours on the terrace. I would also like to emphasize the suitability for families with small children, since there are child gates on the stairs and lots of toys and a playroom. We would loved to have extended our stay.
Annette and family, Germany, Owners Direct, April 2017.
Great House in Fantastic Location! We (my husband and I and 2 children) stayed at Rainbow's End for 1 week and loved it. The house is really lovely, very comfortable and well-equipped. Our 4 year old and 2 year old loved it too. There is a great garden with a hammock, and the house is 5 mins walk from a beautiful beach. We wish we could have stayed longer! Geraldine, the owner, is extremely accommodating and couldn't have been more helpful. If you want a relaxing holiday in a great location, this is the place for you.
Alison and family, Owners Direct, April 2017.
A gorgeous, unique, comfortable property with incredible sea views: Myself, partner, two children and parents stayed at Rainbows End during February half-term and we had a great time! The house was extremely well equipped and had everything we needed from bottle openers to bath towels. On arrival we were greeted with a lovely welcome pack which was very thoughtful and gratefully received. Geraldine answered any questions immediately and was extremely helpful. Unlike other holiday homes we've stayed in Rainbows End retains a homely feel. The space inside is also perfect for a large family - or two separate groups - due to the upstairs and downstairs bedrooms and bathrooms. The sea views from Rainbows End are amazing and I don't think I would ever tire of them! This truly is a special house in a brilliant location for exploring with fantastic decking and gardens that is perfect for families and friends. We cannot wait to return!
Katie, Will and family, Owners Direct, February 2017.
We had a lovely week at Rainbow's End. We were staying with our 4 year old and 20 month old as well as my husband's parents and there was plenty of space for everyone and the house was kid friendly. The photos don't do justice to how nice the upstairs playroom/living space / bedroom is, or how nice the eating area is by the kitchen. The house was well equipped, with everything we needed plus Sonos speakers, a few toys for the kids, highchair and travel cot, and a hot tap outside for showering off sandy feet. The easy access to the beach at Praa Sands was great and the house was a perfect base for visiting Cornwall. .

We would loved to have extended our stay.

Great House in Fantastic Location! We (my husband and I and 2 children) stayed at Rainbow's End for 1 week and loved it. The house is really lovely, very comfortable and well-equipped. Our 4 year old and 2 year old loved it too. There is a great garden with a hammock, and the house is 5 mins walk from a beautiful beach. We wish we could have stayed longer! Geraldine, the owner, is extremely accommodating and couldn't have been more helpful. If you want a relaxing holiday in a great location, this is the place for you.

A gorgeous, unique, comfortable property with incredible sea views: Myself, partner, two children and parents stayed at Rainbows End during February half-term and we had a great time! The house was extremely well equipped and had everything we needed from bottle openers to bath towels. On arrival we were greeted with a lovely welcome pack which was very thoughtful and gratefully received. Geraldine answered any questions immediately and was extremely helpful. Unlike other holiday homes we've stayed in Rainbows End retains a homely feel. The space inside is also perfect for a large family - or two separate groups - due to the upstairs and downstairs bedrooms and bathrooms. The sea views from Rainbows End are amazing and I don't think I would ever tire of them! This truly is a special house in a brilliant location for exploring with fantastic decking and gardens that is perfect for families and friends. We cannot wait to return!

We had a lovely week at Rainbow's End. We were staying with our 4 year old and 20 month old as well as my husband's parents and there was plenty of space for everyone and the house was kid friendly. The photos don't do justice to how nice the upstairs playroom/living space / bedroom is, or how nice the eating area is by the kitchen. The house was well equipped, with everything we needed plus Sonos speakers, a few toys for the kids, highchair and travel cot, and a hot tap outside for showering off sandy feet. The easy access to the beach at Praa Sands was great and the house was a perfect base for visiting Cornwall. .

A wonderful holiday! This is a lovely spacious house in a great beach location with an unbeatable view of the sea before. The house was tailor made for our family (two adults, three schoolchildren). The decor is tasteful and complete and everything functions perfectly. Everything was super clean and well maintained. The fireplace gives a special atmosphere. The large veranda and the garden are an oasis. From the porch we watched dolphins playing in the sea. Our hosts were perfect and amiable. All information was given before arrival and we could have contacted them at any time during the stay, but there was no reason for everything was as described. Geraldine prepared a helpful list of places to visit, shopping and restaurants and nearby pubs. We arrived late on our arrival date and found a "starter package" with dinner and breakfast. Thank you - it was great! We felt very comfortable. A house in which you are at home right away.

We had the most wonderful holiday at Geraldine's place. The house is very spacious and extremely well equipped. With a stunning view and a huge garden not to mention the garden studio where we could do yoga without the kids jumping on us. The location is superb. With just a few minutes to the beach and a short car journey to the most magical places like St Michael's Mount, the Seal Sanctuary and the Eden Project. We were very well looked after by Geraldine and are very keen to come back.

From the moment we stepped through the door we felt at home in your wonderful house by the sea. We swam in the sea, flew a kite, made use of your games collection and enjoyed meals around the dining table. We were also able to spend time apart, whilst still being together. The house is beautiful, I felt like I was staying in an art gallery. But also very practical with everything a family needs for a perfect getaway.

Rainbows End is a fabulous house which more than caters for all ages. The house has a wonderful design which creatively mixes old with new, art and artefacts throughout, a journey through time. Different textures, levels & sculptures throughout the house & garden are enhanced by a wonderful variation of both native & subtropical plant varieties. The large deck area above the garden gives uninterrupted views towards the sea,beach & headlands. Brilliant location, with a fantastic beach & walks literally at the bottom of the garden. A great base for visiting Cornwall with all main attractions within easy reach. A truly unique family home,which will more than cater for you holiday needs. You WILL Relax.

We have had a wonderful week in Cornwall!! The house gave us a great base for all of the places we wanted to visit and the perfect place to relax at the end of a busy day. We had everything we needed and much more, as well as the stunning views. Can't wait to return.

We really did find a pot of gold at Rainbows End. According to our children, this was the best holiday ever and they are extremely keen to return very soon. What we all love about the location is the close proximity to a beautiful, sandy beach (which has two great places to eat) and the fantastic sea view. The house is elegantly stylish and equipped with everything you need. The living room opens up onto a large decked veranda where we ate most evenings and enjoyed quiet time with the children as we wound down from busy days visiting the many attractions along this coastline. Penzance is extremely close by, but we bought all fresh food from the fantastic local farm shop a few minutes drive away. Lots of information regarding anything you could possibly need is laid out in the house folder. Geraldine was on hand to help answer any questions. We can't recommend Rainbows End enough. It's a very peaceful place to stay - a real find and we hope to return to soon.

We all had a wonderful stay, a real gem. Geraldine was extremely quick in responding and gave us everything we needed (great places to eat, a gorgeous living space) . It was a peaceful and restful stay that I'd highly recommend. The house was in a great location to the beach and if you like water sports like us it is perfect. We will definitely return again.

Does one need more to be happy than a beautiful house like Rainbows End in a stunning landscape as we found it here! A perfect blue sky during the day, a sparkling sky in the night. Everything was wonderful.

Thank you for a lovely holiday in this heavenly house. Favourite things - sitting for hours on the sofa looking at the sea, hammock lazing on the deck, early morning swims, sheltered Sun lounging on the lawn, sea kayaking around the headland, peaceful long sleeps in the quiet night, baths with a view, cooking in the well equipped spacious kitchen, the mid century style and attention to detail, art and sculptures, the incredible light pouring into the house, the smell as we walk in the front door - of sea and peace.
