Vine Cottage, Boscastle
Property Description
Vine Cottage is one of six grand properties tucked into the hillside with glorious elevated views across Valency valley and its hidden churches which leads to one of the few unspoilt harbour villages left in Cornwall - Boscastle - recently used for filming 'Saving Grace'. A setting of dramatic heather clad cliffs in a landscape protected by the National Trust makes this an awe inspiring location for holidays. The October Boscastle Festival of 'Real Food', Arts & Crafts and the April Boscastle Walking Week are a must. Standing on three levels, the cottage is entered from the street above via a flight of stone steps descending to the first floor. Period features are evident throughout with traditional furnishings matching the character of the Inglenook fireplaces, old beams and latched doors in this spacious but cosy home. Stairs lead up to three bedrooms and shower room, or down to the main bedroom with a king size wrought iron antique style bed. Kids will love the landing area equipped with computer and seating. Enjoy 'al fresco' meals on the deck or a choice of patios whilst being mesmerised by the peaceful tree top views. A walk down the narrow steps (unsuitable for young children, the elderly or infirm) in the sloping garden is the quickest way to the harbour, innovative vistors' centres, shops and restaurants. Parking on road beside the cottage to unload, (restricted May-September) and on-street parking at the bottom of garden on the lower road all year with access for able persons. Take scenic boat trips and guided walks around Bostcastle, from Tintagel (5 miles) or Port Issac only a short distance by car. This area of outstanding natural beauty, its unique character inspired John Betjeman and Thomas Hardy, offers walks to Tintagel with its tales of King Arthur and will unfold breathtaking scenery. Good beaches can be found along this stretch of coastline with Trebarwith Strand only four miles away.
