The cottage was warm, very well equipped and charming. The location was central for Boscastle and convenient for dining out and bus services. The setting is stunning and the sound of the stream running past relaxing.

This is a very traditional Cornish cottage, with a fantastic garden. It is a quiet location yet well situated only a couple of minutes from the centre of the village and the coastal footpath. It has great character and is well equipped.
