The owner Liz was extremely helpful before and during our stay. Excellent communication throughout. The property was stunning, super clean and beautifully maintained, exactly as advertised with stunning views of St Ives. It was easy to find and the facilities were excellent. We wouldnât hesitate to return to Boscarne or to recommend the property to family and friends. Thank you for such a memorable stay.

Truly stunning and all our needs taken care of. Incredible home done to an exceptionally high specification. Every detail was covered. Fit and healthy then walking to town is no issue what so ever, if not so then the local taxi firm is again incredibly helpful, friendly and so so reasonably priced. Amazing place and will so so be back. Thank you for a dream family holiday we loved every moment of it. Xxx
