“We had a fabulous holiday staying at The Old Carpenters Cottage, it is a super location with lots of facilities within easy walking distance in the village.”

There are plenty of walks available along the coastal path nearby, superb views and well worth the effort on the uphill stretches. Having your own parking space is a great benefit as Boscastle gets very busy with day trippers and parking is at a premium. The cottage being located right on the harbour is wonderful, the area is very peaceful at night and it very soothing to be near the water seeing the coats and wildlife (ducks etc).

There are a couple of characterful Pubs in the village and a good restaurant too.

“Lovely cottage.”

Deceptively big for a 2 bedroom, very tastefully decorated and well equipped. Perfectly located for exploring cornwall. Some beautiful walks on the doorstep. Fab bakers 2 min walk away. Sadly pubs and restaurants were struggling with covid this year, Opening sporadically .

“A lovely cottage in a great location.”

The beds are so comfortable, easy access to the amenities in town and some great walks. We loved our week, do try the pasties from the farm shop.

“Lovely accommodation in a lovely setting.”

Everything you could expect from a holiday cottage.

Mrs Attree August 2020

“A well presented, very comfortable cottage in a good position in Boscastle.”

.Everything we needed was provided and there were fresh flowers in the kitchen and bedrooms..The Living area was quite small, but could have accommodated 4 people and the kitchen was well planned and spacious. We have a long car which I could just manoeuvre into the parking area, but that was essential for us.

Mr Whatmough October 2019

“We really enjoyed our return to Boscastle.”

The cottage was just as we remembered it and it was lovely and clean. The welcome pack of food was much appreciated.

Mrs Hunt July 2019

“A beautiful little cottage in the most perfect location in Boscastle.”

While other visitors drive to the village, park up and wander down to the harbour, you can open your front door and you're there. There are coastal walks, pubs, shops and cafes within 2 mins from the cottage but it never feels overcrowded. The location is simply perfect. The cottage itself is clean, tastefully furnished and has everything you may need from a washing machine, tumble dryer and dishwasher to an iron, hairdryer and very well equipped kitchen. The welcome pack was also a lovely surprise upon arrival. We will certainly be returning.

“A previous review mentions old carpet, there is none.”

The photos do not do this charming cottage justice. It is very well presented. The parking space is fine, we have got a long car.

This was the second time we stayed here, the last time was in 2011, it was again up to a very high standard and I believe it to be even better , we will certainly consider booking again in near future ,

Dr Kim July 2018

“The cottage was excellent!”

Perfect for a family of 4. The location was great: nearby shops and pubs (food and drinks) and people were great, and the trail course and the seaside hill were fantastic! Cornwall milk and ales are extraordinary! 15 min away from Tintagel but much calmer and peaceful village adjacent to a National Trust area. Once you get there, you will regret that you did not book for a month!!!

“Carpets were tatty and not very clean , we only had one bath towel and hand towel to last the week so had to wash them.”

The cooking utensils were a disgrace mouldy and rusty. We had to go to the owner and complain. We had to use the patio chairs as the settees were so uncomfortable. The description said we had a view of the river from all windows but you can't see it unless you walk to the bank .the shower is so high off the floor it was a struggle to get in and out. We had a brilliant holiday despite but would not recommend this cottage for the price paid.

The property

Full of character, this beautiful single storey cottage is situated right on Boscastle's famous Elizabethan harbour, overlooking the river.

The property has direct access onto the famous South West Coastal Path, making it perfect for families or friends who are looking to explore the dramatic North coast of Cornwall.

After parking up directly in front of the property, enter into the porch.

The cosy living room welcomes you, with comfortable sofas and a TV helping you to unwind after a busy day out.

Amble to the rear of the property where the well-equipped kitchen comes complete with integrated appliances and a fine dining table which holds an attractive view from the window beside it.

There are two bedrooms here; a double which benefits from en-suite facilities and a twin which is served by the bright and airy family bathroom.

Outside there is a patio area where you can enjoy the countryside around you.

The centre of the village can be reached within a moments walk and is home to some quality restaurants and pubs, including the famous Cobweb Inn, which, even in winter with its two open fires, is a most welcoming Cornish pub, with a good reputation for excellent food and locally-brewed ales.

Tintagel and all its history is a short drive away and most definitely worth a visit, with legendary sites such as Tintagel Castle and the Old Post Office that dates back to the 1300s.

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.
