About this property
Ayr Cottage is situated in Bossiney, tucked along a hedgerow lane and surrounded by its pretty shrub-filled garden. This lovely detached cottage is on two levels and has 16th cent. origins and bags of character. Thick knobbly walls, some door lintels a bit lower than average and beams reflect its history. Step from the garden into the breakfast room and then through to the well equipped kitchen, which in turn leads you into the dining room - clearly the original part of the cottage, with a huge inglenook fireplace and wood-burning stove. Under an archway there is a small sun room with comfy sofa and lots of games for little ones to occupy themselves. The living room is surprisingly large, and this too has a big inglenook with a wood-burning stove a lovely room to sit and relax after a bracing walk, or day on the beach. At this level there is a large utility room with separate WC and a shower cubicle. Head upstairs to three bedrooms two double, one a king-size, and a bunk room with a washbasin, and the family bathroom. Most of its enclosed walled garden is to the front, with level patio table/chairs, gas BBQ, little summer house and raised patio. A ten minute walk takes you down to Bossiney Cove, or nip in the car and drive to nearby Trebarwith Strand or Crackington Haven all lovely family beaches with good food pubs and cafes. Or visit the legendary harbour of Boscastle and its numerous pubs and cafes.
Tintagel, home of the legendary King Arthurs Castle, whose ruins dominate the cliffside just outside the village, is a popular but not overcrowded tourist destination. The surrounding area is dominated by the sea, rocky coves and stunning scenery.

A beautiful cottage placed outside Tintagel a 6min walk or an 2 hour coastal walk to get to the castle. Parking space outside and a lovely garden to sit in as well. Everything was available at the cottage from a coffee machine, milk frother to a spatula in the kitchen! They even supplied a hair dryer but I bought my own as I know it is not a hotel. The main bed is really comfortable. Beautiful cottage that has 1475 in the stone on top of the stairs is a lovely touch.

I booked this cottage for our 48th anniversary. The first thing to greet us was a completely crushed packet of biscuits. We assumed this was our welcome pack. It made us feel the exact opposite. Upstairs the bath had nail varnish stains on it. In the lounge the log burner was full of ashes and there was no firewood. My wife didnât want me to but I phoned the owner and left a message. She did call me back much later the same day but I wasnât able to answer as I couldnât express my feelings in front of my wife. I sent the owner an email. She replied saying her cleaner had never done a âchangeoverâ before and she was sorry and it wouldnât happen again! I gave up after that. My wife spent 30 minutes removing the stains, much against my wishes. The radiator in the lounge doesnât work therefore firewood is essential but the owner expects the customer to buy their own. The kitchen was clean apart from two cups that had been in the dishwasher but still had sugar in the bottom. The rest of the cottage had cobwebs everywhere. We were left 2 toilet rolls for the week in a 3 bedroom house? I have never complained to Sykes before after approximately 20 bookings. This will be the first. In summary the cottage could be great without the cobwebs and with an owner and or cleaner that was remotely interested in providing a good experience for their customers.
