Huge thank you to Jon for the guidance and terrific scones on the Sunday. The house is situated in a very good location with easy access North, South and East, in fact I don't think you could stay in a better location, with a very welcoming pub (The North Inn), serving lovely food, 200 yards away. Overall a great experience. Steve Watson

From the moment we arrived, we were enchanted by the charm of this lovely cottage. Nestled in a serene and picturesque location, it offered the perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of daily life. The cottage itself is beautifully maintained, blending rustic charm with modern comforts. The interior was cozy and tastefully decorated, making us feel right at home. The well-equipped kitchen allowed us to prepare our own meals, and we enjoyed many peaceful breakfasts and dinners in the quaint dining area overlooking the stunning Cornish countryside. One of the highlights was the private garden, a tranquil space where we spent hours soaking in the beauty of the surroundings. We loved exploring the nearby coastal walks, and the cottage's proximity to both the sea and charming villages made it an ideal base for our adventures. The hosts were incredibly welcoming and attentive, providing us with plenty of local tips and ensuring our stay was comfortable. Their attention to detail really made a difference, and we appreciated the thoughtful touches like the welcome basket filled with local goodies. Overall, our stay at Boscaswell Downs was a wonderful experience. Whether you're looking for a romantic retreat or a peaceful family holiday, this cottage is the perfect choice. We can't wait to return!
