    “The road approaching the property is so difficult to navigate unless you drive a medium to small size car.”

    On arrival the property smelt of damp and musrt and not preheated. Garden furniture well past its best with no cushions and a dangerous plastic bench seat cracked and brittle from the elements. The outside stairs leading from the kitchen to the garden are rotten and subsiding to the left. The little patio by the bins has a 2ft gap all around not safe for children or pets. The garden itself is unkempt and in need of attention, looking like it just has some weed killer from time to time with views ...

    On arrival the property smelt of damp and musrt and not preheated. Garden furniture well past its best with no cushions and a dangerous plastic bench seat cracked and brittle from the elements. The outside stairs leading from the kitchen to the garden are rotten and subsiding to the left. The little patio by the bins has a 2ft gap all around not safe for children or pets. The garden itself is unkempt and in need of attention, looking like it just has some weed killer from time to time with views of disused timber. No BBQ two very tired picnic beaches. There is another ground-floor flat which I found on arrival going down a set of stairs on the inside through an open door to be presented by an unmade bed, dirty towel on a radiator. Untidy kitchen and lounge. I went back up the stairs shutting the door behind me and then saw the private sign, Initially not visible as the door was open. Very distressing as clearly someone else stays there and can access the house as the door only locks from their side. No mention of this in the property details clearly someone else stays there and I would not have booked had I known! The ground-floor double is very uncomfortable with springs poking up through the mattress. The curtains were hanging off the hooks so.i had to climb on the stool in an attempt to rectify it. The ensuite toilet is so badly positioned that unless you are a size zero it's very difficult to use. The shower door sticks and has a large step.into it. The furniture in that room very poor and the bed moves. The first floor double at the top of the stairs has a more comfortable bed but no chair, no dressing table and a huge room with barely anything in it. A blind that is broken and red voile curtains that block out nothing! The bunk beds move so the 12 year old twins slept top and tail in the bottom double. The other double room again was cramped and had springs poking out of the mattress. Nobody slept well and you don't expect to come away and have a worse night's sleep than at home. The bathroom with shower over bath needs a replacement plug as the water rubs out of the basin, no curtains or blind. The shower room the water gathers and you think you are going to have a flood.Kitchen is not new it was installed in 2018 and is in need of a new cooker. Fairly well equipped but no measuring jugs. Floors are slate and again need repairing. The information folder is out of date the chip shop closed in 2024! The two shops close before 8pm and not 9pm as stated, and most days don't even have milk. I would suggest avoiding the property until it has its issues attended to. I took my family away to visit the area where Doc Martin was filmed, we loved that part of our holiday, also the Cobweb Inn the Wellington and the Bakery we just stayed out as long as possible because of our disappointment in accommodation.

    Hi - we are sorry that your stay wasn’t up to our normal standards. Firstly it was totally our fault the flat door was left unlocked and it is the first time that has ever happened. We have just had new carpets and had decorators in Tower House and unfortunately they forgot to lock the door. The flat is NEVER used when we have guests as we want you to have fun without us downstairs. There are cushions for the garden furniture and are kept in the boiler room. The small deck is really just for the bins as most people use the two other larger decks, however it is very safe and has a locking double door to it but we will check if anything has occurred. The road itself is a quintessential Cornish lane which is narrow but is one way so delivery/rubbish vans can get down easily but possibly some of the parking wasn’t great when you were down. Apologies for the chip shop not being open - the property has been sold and will be hopefully be open again very soon by the new owners. The shop’s tend to work on ‘Cornish time’ so the times do vary from the time of year, but I’m sorry they were out of milk however the farm shop at the top of the village is normally very well stocked and has a fantastic cafe. We are down there this weekend so will go round and double check all your feedback and hopefully get back to our normal high levels. Hopefully you will visit beautiful Cornwall again and the weather will be kinder for you next time. Many Thanks Mike and Christine Property Owner

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.

Please note the triple bunk can sleep adults.
