Guests enjoyed the rural views, proximity to local attractions, and the property's suitability as a base for exploring. The presence of farm animals added charm, though some noted the garden's lack of security for pets.

A perfect Cornish coastal village, the road through Boscastle runs down to the small harbour at the bottom of the hill. The quaint village shops, local restaurants and pubs offering good food, Cornish real ales and live entertainment by local musicians, make this an ever popular visitor destination. Spectacular cliff tops, rocky coves, wild surf, open fields and rich wildlife characterise this beautiful area.

We had everything we needed ( were able to cook a full Xmas dinner in the small kitchen area). Our host was welcoming, friendly and very helpful and we are happy to recommend her and Little Lanes.

The cottage is very cosy and comfortable and we enjoyed the amazing view over the hills and seeing the cows in the fields. The bed is very comfortable and the area is very quiet. The property owner is very friendly

My only comment would be that the outside could be more inviting with some of the pots planted up & the white outside table & chair either painted or replaced ( it was green ) . Some improvements have obviously taken place ie bathroom & bedroom. Perhaps the garage area is next which was a bit rough & ready.. Very good situation for exploring the area & loved the presence of the cows .
