Faraway Cottage

Great location but our comfort was spoiled by poorly maintained sash windows.

In short, all repeat all, of the sash windows in the bedrooms and the lounge need to be made significantly more draught proof. In a very exposed position, the house gets the full brunt of the Atlantic weather and, in winter, high cold winds are a near constant. The sash windows in both bedrooms and the lounge have huge gaps through which the wind howls and makes these rooms uncomfortable. The meeting bars and vertical stiles fit badly and do not have draught brushes fitted. The wedges fitted to these windows may stop the sashes rattling but they do absolutely nothing to reduce the draughts. It proved impossible to maintain a comfortable temperature in the lounge without the log burner and so we were forced to spend £60 on logs.

Third time at Faraway and another restful holiday.

Great walking straight from the door. Local to various attractions such as The Minnack Theatre, Lands End and various beaches. Shops/farm shop within driving distance. Look forward to coming back at a future date.

Fabulous location.

Lovely cottage. One of the places I'd be happy to go back to.

Absolutely gorgeous cottage.

Literally faraway from all the hustle and bustle of life. Arriving at night there was no light pollution just a stunning twinkly starry night. On waking we realised what a stunning locationit actually was! Immaculately clean cottage with everything you need to make it a real home from home. A gorgeous welcome hamper! We had our first cream tea (jam on first I have to say :-)) Comfy beds, hot water, fluffy towels, cozy living room and beautiful garden. The 5* touches throughout brought the old and new together. Loved sitting watching the cows graze and the sunrises and sunsets. The location is perfect. Walking to Lands End,spotting sparrow hawks, a lone seal and two dolphins. A trip to The Minak Theatre. Driving to farm shops for a pasty and Poldark coves for a Cornish icecream. Having a washing machine and tumble dryer was a real added bonus. We closed the door,as we left, drove down the rugged track and both admitted how much we were going to miss Faraway Cottage. Thankyou so much for such a wonderful time out from the World.

Returned here after an 18 year gap.

(I know life gets in the way of a good holiday) Hadn't Changed, still wild, remote, peaceful. A Great place to recharge ones batteries. Weather pretty 'autumnal' with a few early gales- another sign of the times. Loved the walking around Faraway to Porthgwarra and Nanjizal. Choughs have returned in good numbers- They wee not here when we last came - a credit to RSPB & local land owner - Thank you! It will not be another 18 years until we return next time.

This was our first time staying at the Faraway cottage.

...... WOW! Such a beautiful and magical location away from the hustle and bustle of real life with views to die for. We loved our evening cliff walks, watching the sun go down over Nanjizal Bay. The cottage was absolutely perfect and very well equipped, we didn't want for anything. The welcome hamper was a lovely little touch and all delicious. Thanks so much

Everything was wonderful as ever.

Another lovely week at Faraway as always.

We stayed near the cottage, Sennen Cove bring the furthest we travelled. Our week started with some warm pleasant weather but ended cold & breezy. We can recommend Shanty's Fish & Chips in Sennen, very good- but only open Fri & Sat 5-8pm at this time of year. Had a lovely meal as the First and Last Inn and we love a nice meal at the Land End Hotel, magical views on what was a beautiful day. Not as many birds on our walks this time, but a highlight was a chattering of 9 Chough by Carn Les Boel- Our favourite place on the cliffs below the cottage. Looking forward to Bosistow in November and back to Faraway next March.

Our second visit to Faraway Cottage.

The weather for once was dry. A mix of sun, cloud, wind. A couple of amazing clear skies so we had a great opportunity to use the telescope. We chose not to use the car for day trips, instead walking straight from the cottage door or just enjoying relaxing, reading and watching some good films on Netflix which is a bonus at a holiday let. also we enjoyed some nice food and purchased locally in Cornwall in addition to the great hamper. We will miss the wonderful scenery from all windows but look forward to our return visit. Thank you for a nice clean cottage.

We have had an amazing week exploring this part of Cornwall.

Weather has been good- spent much time on the beautiful beaches with Nanjizal being our favourite. Faraway Cottage gave us all we had wanted for from our stay, faraway from the rat race! Thank you.

Thank you for a delightful week at Faraway Cottage, Cornwall.

A Wonderful location and a beautiful cosy cottage, well equipped with all the mod cons, clean and tidy. The hamper was the perfect welcoming gift and full of the most delicious treats. A perfect location for taking in some of the most breath taking views we have come across in the UK. will be sure to come again!

Thanks for a lovely week in a cosy cottage with everything we could possibly need.

The weather has been so windy that weve not been able to enjoy the cliff top setting but have been to Penzance, St Ives and Truro.

We loved this house and its location.

It was super cosy and comfortable with the most stunning coastline in Cornwall virtually on the doorstep. it was like living in a Bronte novel but with all modern conveniences!

Faraway very much feels like my annual ‘home from home’ having stayed for several years in Jan/Feb and there’s something comforting and secure with that familiarity and will be back next year.

In summary, very very happy in Faraway - thank you!

The cottage is in a beautiful location and just what we wanted.

However, the cleanliness was lacking. Cobwebs, general smell of damp. The front of the house as you approach is green with algae which could be washed off. The freezer was dirty with previous guests bits of food in it. The hamper was crawling with little tiny insects of some kind. The ash collector for the fire was full to the brim. The bins were full of beer bottles. So despite the magnificent location, the presentation of the accommodation was poor. The track up to the cottage needs attention, it's getting to the point that only 4x4 vehicles are suitable.

Comfortable, inviting and off the beaten track - perfect for what we like about a cottage.

Bed extremely comfortable but pillows were rock hard. After a pretty much sleepless night and headache from the pillow I felt the pillows in the other bedroom and, fortunately, the last one I felt was soft. This saved driving home (also Cornwall) to collect my own. Thus, unless potential bookers like hard pillows, I’d suggest taking your own. Fabulous walking from the door and we look forward to staying at this gem again.

Beautiful Rural Cottage We Love It have been coming Faraway for 20 Years.

The track from the big house down to Bostistow Farmhouse is very bumpy and big pot holes right down to Faraway.

I understand you would spoil the effect of leading down to Faraway if it was tarmaced . if it was gravelled all the way down would be more easy on our cars.

We had a lovely stay at Faraway and perfect get away retreat.

Thoroughly enjoyed the quiet, views and peace. The cottage was very clean and cosy and the locals we met on walks extremely friendly. Beautiful area to explore. Our down side would be the unmaintained access land to get to the cottage. We live in Devon in the country( near the Moors) so we are no towny(!) but found the lane extremely difficult to navigate especially after a huge amount of rain, huge holes in land thick in mud. Our car is filthy and it felt like off roading! Maybe a bit of maintenance on this, filling in some of the holes would make it a little more appealing. Unfortunately for this reason alone we decided not to rebook. Other than that we were very happy with the cottage.

The facilities at Faraway Cottage were excellent and the cottage was warm and very comfortable, the bathrooms are modern and there was plenty of hot water.

The kitchen is well equipped and although there were a few small maintenance issues they were quickly fixed. We were delighted to be staying at Faraway Cottage and hope to return!

Just perfection.

Quiet, peaceful, relaxing. Wonderful walks from the door. Comfortable accommodation, glorious views.

Lovely cosy cottage.

Idyllic location and very well equipped. I would highly recommend and plan to visit again.

We've just had the most amazing stay here, and really did feel Faraway from everything.

What a beautiful cottage, we felt at home straight away. Watched to Nanjizal cove, to Land's End and the Headland. We both had our birthdays here, and it was perfect. Low tide and high tide both worth spending time at Nanjizal. Cottage perfect, sea views, roaring fire, warm and cozy even with wind howling outside, 2 named storms in our week, with a day of calm in the middle. Sadly Barbara Hepworth garden was closed, so we'll have to return! Enjoyed St Ives and the Dog Rabbit cave was great for vegans and vegetarians. We are renewed and refreshed and very happy. Thank you very much for everything, we loved it all. Nita and Tony

We booked Faraway Cottage at the last minute and knew it was the right choice straight away.

As Aristotle said "The whole is greater than the sum of all it's parts." From the Awe inspiring location with amazing views, to little touches of "Bloom soap". The open fire, bedding and towels, the warmth and coziness of the heating. The attentive staff and attention to details. All individually important but together as a whole it created an Awesome Oasis for the soul allowing us to recharge and regroup. Thank you all for this Magical Experience! Jon and Vanessa

Another glorious return to Faraway Cottage.

The cottage is as lovely as ever with improvements always ongoing and appreciated. It is always warm, cosy, comfortable and clean. The welcome hamper was great - thank you! Location! Location! Location! Gave us - 1. Wonderful cliff top walks, 2. Great Views, 3. Watched the seals, 4. Listened to the birds, 5. Fabulous concert at The Minnack, 6. Peace, 7. Tranquillity, The list goes on... Just what we needed. Always sad to leave xx

We are back again after 25 years, what a magical trip down memory lane.

We stayed here with our 4 children a few times and we have so many wonderful memories & Faraway did not disappoint. We have returned with friends and have had a fantastic week, walking the cliffs & beaches, seen many seals and had enjoyed the pubs. Loved Logan Rock Inn & Tinners Arms. Weather was fantastic!! Faraway is the most perfect spot to relax & watch the world go by.

3 nights of peace in our busy lives!

Having stayed at Bosistow for so many years and walked past Faraway, we are so glad to have finally stayed here. So beautiful, I hope we will return one day.

Another wonderful stay - be back again next year!

Another perfect stay!

We have had a lovely stay at Faraway Cottage.

The cottage was clean, tidy and very cosy. Enjoyed walking the coast path and taking in the fantastic views. Nanjizal Cove was stunning. Beautiful blue sea. Thank you for the lovely hamper. We shall look forward to coming again, maybe next year.
