About this property
Destiny Cottage is a Grade II listed, terraced cottage, in an attractive row of seven, sits on the hill above and just a gentle stroll down to the centre of the famous village of Boscastle in Cornwall. The cottage oozes charm, with old flagstone floors, gothic-style arched windows and knobbly walls, creating a delightful, romantic retreat for couples any time of the year. Entry to Destiny Cottage is via arched doubled doors leading to a pretty open plan living area with well-equipped kitchen, dining area and cosy sitting area, where you can snuggle down in front of the wood burning stove after a day exploring the village. Upstairs is a comfortable double bedroom with lovely oak floor and a bathroom. Outside a neat, little enclosed garden overlooking a communal lawned area provides a haven of peace and tranquillity. Although the garden is enclosed, it is not dog proof. Just a short stroll downhill from the cottage are all the shops, pubs and cafés of this stunning village, where two rivers meet the sea in a natural harbour between steep moorland hillsides. If you feel the need to venture further afield, explore the lovely cliff and wooded-valley walks, whilst lovely beaches at Crackington Haven, Bossiney and Trebarwith Strand are just a short drive away. If history and folklore are your thing, head for Tintagel, rich in history and Arthurian legend. This is a romantic cottage for couples in an ideal spot for exploring this beautiful stretch of coastline any time of the year.
Settled along the scenic Cornish coast, is the charming village of Boscastle, which boasts an excellent selection of pubs and restaurants where you can sample fresh seafood, as well as quaint village shops and live entertainment throughout the village performed by local musicians. Ideally located just a short distance from the gloriously sandy beaches of Bossiney, Trebarwith Strand and Crackington Haven, Boscastle makes for a fantastic coastal getaway, perfectly blending village and coastal life.

The cottage itself was tidy , my only concerns were possibly leave more cleaning supplies, ie a squeegee for the shower, and a cleaning cloth for the sink, and maybe some antibacterial cleaning chemicals. Also it would be better if a clothes airer was available coat hangers in the small cupboard upstairs is cold and not suitable, . The mattress on the bed was uncomfortable humps and hollows, could really do with upgrading, . Also please put a jug in the kitchen utensils cupboard. Would definitely recommend this little cottage for a relaxing break.

The location is fantastic, just a hundred yards from the centre of beautiful Boscastle. The on-site parking is very convenient too. This delightfully quirky cottage is situated right next to the National Trust Panoramic Path, which leads through the woods down to the harbour and is ideal for safely taking the dog for a walk. The cottage kitchen is very well equipped indeed. All the plumbimg and heating worked without any problems as did the wifi and all electrical items. The woodburner was easy to use and enhanced the cottage atmosphere tremendously. Comfy bed, lovely new shower and the whole place was surprisingly warm, considering it was November. Can't think of anything negative to say about this delightful place to stay. Thank you so very much, Robert & Cilla (& Louis) Nov 2023.
