    “Lowen is a sweet little cottage but very overpriced compared to others we've stayed in.”

    The place was clean, had a great shower, and a decent supply of logs was left for us, but there were too many oversights from whoever is managing the property to justify over £1700 a week. The place, smaller than the pictures suggest, was freezing cold when we arrived, having presumably been empty the previous week/s. It would have been nice if whoever left the (welcoming?) lamp on had put some heating on too. We needed to blast the motley array of electric radiators for 24 hours to thaw the ...

    The place was clean, had a great shower, and a decent supply of logs was left for us, but there were too many oversights from whoever is managing the property to justify over £1700 a week. The place, smaller than the pictures suggest, was freezing cold when we arrived, having presumably been empty the previous week/s. It would have been nice if whoever left the (welcoming?) lamp on had put some heating on too. We needed to blast the motley array of electric radiators for 24 hours to thaw the place out. Kitchen issues: broken corkscrew; largest saucepan missing a lid; no instructions for the oven; knives need sharpening and the dishwasher needs attention as the seals are loose and trays don't slide very easily. The dining table, alongside the back of the sofa, isn't particularly comfortable with a thin bench and two chairs that don't fit underneath. Lighting in the lounge is also an issue, we had to keep moving the one lamp to get any light for reading. The wood burner is very inefficient - ours at home, for example, uses half the fuel for twice the heat. We got through an awful lot of wood keeping warm! Also, there was no bucket for the ashes. Other things that would make guests' stay more comfortable would be to leave a decent supply of toilet paper, rather than the end of one roll and just one spare. Ditto leaving just the end of a kitchen roll, milk that was out of date the day after we arrived, and an all but empty bottle of handwash in the bathroom. It all seemed very tight. If we hadn't paid so much, our expectations would have been lower, but much work needs to be done to justify £250 a night. Needless to say, we certainly won't be returning to Lowen Cottage - there are far better more reasonably priced alternatives.

    Thank you for taking the time to share your detailed feedback following your recent stay at Lowen Cottage. We truly appreciate your comments as they help us identify areas where we can improve. We’re pleased to hear that you found the cottage clean and enjoyed the shower and the supply of logs. However, we’re very sorry to learn that other aspects of your stay did not meet expectations, particularly given the price point. The price was calculated using Sykes’ pricing system. Because your stay started on a Saturday, when our usual changeover day is Friday (as highlighted in our red notes), the system charged for two weeks’ rental as we do not offer short breaks. To acknowledge this, we left you a lovely bottle of Champagne to enjoy during your stay. In future, we will make it clearer that guests have the option to contact us regarding alternative start days. Your comments regarding the heating on arrival, kitchen equipment, lighting, and general provisions have been noted, and we understand how these issues impacted your experience. Please be assured that we are reviewing each point you raised. Thank you again for sharing your thoughts. We hope you might reconsider visiting us in the future once these improvements have been made. Property Owner

The property

Lowen Cottage, a traditional abode, rests in the heart of Boscastle, a small coastal village in Cornwall.

This home-away-from-home is ideal for families and friends looking to escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life and explore the beauty of Cornwall.

Lowen Cottage is full of character which can be sensed the moment you enter the open-plan living/dining room, with a welcoming woodburning stove, slate floors and exposed beams.

Perfect for chilly winter nights, cosy up around the roaring fire and watch movies on the Smart TV, before heading to the dining table to toast a wonderful holiday.

Conveniently, the fully-equipped kitchen offers everything you need for a self-catered stay, whilst the ground-floor bathroom provides space for you to get ready for the day in style.

The cottage boasts two inviting bedrooms, including a king-size and a double, where you can catch your rest after a long day of seaside fun.

Outside, you can enjoy the warmer months with a picnic lunch on the lawn, a spot of alfresco dining on the outdoor furniture, and there is even plenty of room for your furry friends to have a play too.

If you can tear yourself away from your tranquil abode, you will find Napoleon Inn, the traditional Wellington, and the trendy Long Bar and Restaurant, all worth a visit for an evening tipple or a meal out when you don’t fancy cooking.

A short drive will bring you to Tintagel, a charming village in Cornwall, known for its stunning attractions such as Tintagel Castle, National Trust - Glebe Cliff, and Merlin's Cave.

Further afield is Camelford, a popular spot for tourists with a wealth of attractions and amenities, including Enfield Park, for a leisurely stroll, Peckish Fish and Chips, for a taste of classic British cuisine, or Nepalese Gurkha restaurant, to savour the exotic flavours of Nepal.

Enjoy all of this and more by booking Lowen Cottage.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £200.

About the location

BOSCASTLE

Tintagel 4 miles; Camelford 6 miles.

A perfect Cornish coastal village, the road through Boscastle runs down to the small harbour at the bottom of the hill. The quaint village shops, local restaurants and pubs offering good food, Cornish real ales and live entertainment by local musicians, make this an ever popular visitor destination. Spectacular cliff tops, rocky coves, wild surf, open fields and rich wildlife characterise this beautiful area. The coastal footpath passes through some of Britain’s most rugged and spectacular coastal scenery. The sandy beaches of Bossiney, Trebarwith Strand and Crackington Haven are all within 5 miles and the surfing beaches at Bude and Polzeath are within easy driving distance. Close at hand lie the delights of Tintagel, swathed in the legends of King Arthur, several stately homes and renowned gardens, or the wide open space of Bodmin Moor, famous for its granite tors and Daphne Du Maurier’s Jamaica Inn.

Note: Bookings must commence on a Friday - this includes Christmas and New Year.

Note: property sleeps three including babies.
