“Loads of space”

This is a lovely house with 5 bedrooms. There is a huge kitchen /dining room with wood burning stove, very long dining table and a wealth of equipment. We had some great family dinners in there. There is also a very large comfortable lounge with an open fire (although the fire wasn’t very effective), lots of chairs and s large sofa.

The television was massive and had BT box so access to a lot of programmes and the owners had left the manuals in case of any queries which was a real help. The beds were comfortable and there was plenty of drawers/wardrobe space. We has two bathrooms with sheers and another with a bath as well. There were just a couple of drawbacks - we struggled to get the house to the right temperature, it was either too hot or too cold. The house is also on a very steep hill so for anyone who is not fit the walk up from the village would be very challenging. You can go by car but the road is one way.

“We enjoyed our stay at the Tower House but people should know that it is a good way up a very steep hill and would not be suitable for people who were not quite fit.”

The house is lovely and the kitchen especially good for a big group of people, very well equipped. It was really helpful to be left instructions for various electrical appliances as often they can be a mystery. If we had quibbles it would be that the lighting is quite muted. I was not able to read my book in bed for the whole week as the lighting was just not good enough. Also we could have done with more towels as there is no tumble drier. These however are minor things - we really enjoyed our stay and had loads of room.

“Fantastic house that slept us all”
Mr Douglas April 2018

“Standard of cleaning was a bit average - generally it looked as if the place could do with a proper "spring clean".”

Issue with broken bed on arrival. This was dealt with very promptly by the owner but should have been noticed and rectified in advance. Lock missing on a bathroom door; lightbulbs "blown"; central island unit in kitchen beginning to fall apart etc. Cooking utensils were a bit limited for a place that sleeps 11. We struggled to cook a roast dinner due to lack of saucepan capacity etc. Also kitchen knives were fairly useless - I recognise that there is a potential issue if knives are too sharp but a knife should have some sort of cutting edge (something that only the bread knife achieved!) Overall impression was of a pleasant property in a good location. However, it was let down by the standard of presentation and maintenance.

Thank you for your feedback. I can confirm we have addressed your comments and updated the kitchen. Thank you again for your comments. Owner relations

The property

Tower House is a stunning, converted Sunday school that rests in the delightful coastal village of Boscastle in Cornwall.

This beautifully furnished, well-located cottage provides comforting accommodation for friends and families to come together and discover what Cornwall has to offer.

The cottage retains many of its original features, including the characterful wooden beams and feature stone walls, plus slate flooring and wooden stable doors add a real sense of charm to the place.

The ground floor is the perfect spot to spend your down time, get everybody together in the wonderful sitting room in front of the roaring open fire and watch your favourite films in the company of your loved ones.

The designated chef of the group will have much fun preparing the meals in the kitchen/diner, with high-quality appliances and a rustic wooden dining table with pews for everybody to sit on with the added benefit of a stunning feature stone wall housing a woodburning stove to keep you warm.

The ground floor is also home to the first of five warming, cosy bedrooms as well as a classy shower room.

Head up to the first floor and discover the other four bedrooms, one which is a lovely spacious room with a TV and your own woodburning stove to some personal comfort.

Make the most of the excellent garden area here at Tower House, with the choice of a decking area or a lawned garden to stretch your legs on.

Boscastle is a fabulous holiday base with a range of shops and gastropubs to enjoy.

For a dose of the outdoors, take a stroll along the scenery-filled South West coastal path to discover beaches, coves and much more.

Tower House is a sublime traditional cottage in a divine coastal location.

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.
