About this property
Tintagel 1 mile.
A warm and welcoming stone-built miller's residence in St Nectan's Glen, a wooded valley and Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, below the hamlet of Bossiney. Surrounded by 20 acres of garden and woodland, with walks through the trees and down Rocky Valley (NT) to the sea and Bossiney Cove on the doorstep. This typical Cornish cottage is comfortable and spacious with beamed ceilings, exposed stonework and a woodburner. Note: This property can be booked with Refs. 981, 982 and 983, together they sleep 12.
Tintagel is dominated by the magnificent ruins of King Arthur's Castle which lie on the cliffside outside the town. The sea, secluded coves and spectacular scenery dominate the area, and a number of superb beaches, including Trebarwith Strand, are easily reached for surfing, swimming and sunbathing. The town offers pubs and restaurants and the National Trust owned Old Post Office. Walkers will love the SW coast path which goes right through Tintagel then winds its way in both directions along the cliff tops through stunning countryside, before meandering down to the water's edge. The pretty village of Boscastle with its charming quay and village pubs is 2.5 miles north, and if you venture further afield you will find the surfing resort of Bude; the wild open spaces of Bodmin Moor; the incredible biospheres of the Eden Project; Padstow and its famous restaurants, and much more.

The cottage was very comfortable and is located in a beautiful valley. We loved the garden and walking in the valley along the path beside the stream. We highly recommend this cottage and will hopefully be back to stay in future years.

The cottage was clean and spacious and all 3 of us have really enjoyed our stay at Millerâs House. We brought with us items like hand soap, loo rolls and washing up liquid but these were all provided. The kitchen was very well equipped with everything you should need. The beds were really comfortable and there was plenty of storage for clothes etc.. I checked before we packed that we could use a BBQ as I couldnât see any mention in the blurb or comments. Robin kindly provided heat resistant bricks for us to place on the grass, under the BBQ, so we were very happy as we love to cook outside whilst on holiday. The cottages are set in woodland so it is very peaceful and with the sound of birds and the stream running by, it is just what you need to aid relaxation. If we were to come back to this area in the future, I would always look to stay here.
