“We had a lovely week away in this cosy cottage & were very grateful when we arrived after a long journey down to find the heating already on .”

The cottage is nicely decorated & was spotlessly clean . The nightlights in both hallways are a very good idea especially if you need to get up in the night & unsure where the light switches are . The location is good for exploring The Tin Coast , plenty of walks & a local bus service if you fancy leaving the car behind for the day .

We would have no hesitation about rebooking for another stay .

Thank you for taking the time to leave an excellent review. All associated with the cottage work very hard to maintain the high standards of comfort and cleanliness. We are so pleased that you enjoyed the cottage and the local area and the many varied amenities, walks, beaches and eateries. We look forward to your next stay. Best Regards Jon Property Owner
Barry September 2025

“A wonderfully insulated property, comfortably warm within minutes of switching heating on.”

Very convenient parking and short distance from Spar shop and the North Inn pub. Well equipped kitchen including a great microwave combo oven. Two comfortable bedrooms, 1 twin and 1 double. Wardrobe in double bedrooms might be better suited in the far corner. Love the overhead shower. All in all, a lovely holiday cottage.

- Barry, September 2025

Many thanks for taking the time for your splendid review. I am really happy that you both enjoyed the cottage, its location to local amenities and its comforts. It was a joy to meet you both again and look forward to your next visit in 2026. Best Regards Jon Property Owner
Alistair August 2025

“Super little house in a very convenient location in this lovey quiet village.”

Has everything you need and has a very friendly owner happy to help or advise on local matters.

- Alistair, August 2025

It was good to meet you both and it was my pleasure to help with ideas and suggestions with respect to local amenities, eating out, local shops, beaches, walks, museums etc. We are blessed in this part of Cornwall to have so many things to do and see all within easy reach by foot or short journeys via public transport or a car. We are very happy that you enjoyed the cottage and many thanks for your excellent review it is greatly appreciated. Best regards Jon Property Owner

We would definitely recommend this cottage.

Rebecca July 2025

“We thoroughly enjoyed our week in the cottage, with very comfortable beds, well equipped kitchen, lovely spacious sitting room and an excellent shower in the bathroom.”

A bonus was being able to pop out to walk the dog in the large fields behind the village shop & pub, just minutes away. Great food and a friendly welcome in both the North Inn and Trewellard Arms and a very memorable breakfast at Geevor Tin Mine, but we'll have to return to experience the legendary scones usually provided by Jon as he was away until our very last night, but still managed to keep in touch with us to offer lots of local tips about where to visit, which was much appreciated, plus arranging the fabulous welcome basket, of course.

- Rebecca, July 2025

Many thanks for your wonderful review. We are very pleased that you enjoyed and appreciated the cottage, and its good to know that you all had a very relaxed holiday. As you have highlighted the local area has plenty to offer in terms of the many walks (both inland and coastal), beaches, great places to eat and shop, museums both locally and within easy reach by car. Also, it was its good to know that I could help in terms of ideas of where and what to do whilst you were here. We look forward to seeing you very soon. Best regards Jon Property Owner
Joerg June 2025

“We had three wonderfull weeks in that lovely cottage.”

Everything was even better than we expected it.The weather was perfect for all these things we did. It was a great pleasure to meet Jon. We loved his scones and it was very nice to talk to him a couple of times. We would like to thanks Tanya as well for keeping everything perfectly clean. 13.6. - 4.7.2025 Joerg and Doris

- Joerg, June 2025

Thank you for taking the time to leave an excellent review, it is greatly appreciated. It's good to know that you enjoyed the cottage and the local area . It was an absolute pleasure to meet you both. We all work hard to maintain our standards especially Tanya and her Team to maintain such a high standard of cleanliness, so thank you for your generous comments. I am pleased you enjoyed the scones! Look forward to seeing both soon. Best Regards Jon Property Owner
Wendy June 2025

“Location of cottage was good, very peaceful but the were no ‘Views’ from the cottage.”

It is an old comfortable cottage with a modern rear extension, however the design meant there wasn’t a very comfortable dining area. The cottage was clean and simple but rather dark in the main room. The bath/shower room is ok though the shower cubicle was on the small side and the hand basin is tiny with a wall mounted cabinet above made using the basin very uncomfortable. There is a tiny rear garden with unattractive large tank partially concealed by a large blank wall. The small front well maintained garden feels too exposed to sit and enjoy a meal especially as it overlooks parked cars. The welcome pack was sweet, the cottage’s owner also presented us with beautiful homemade scones with all the cream tea accessories - just as we were sitting down to dinner on our penultimate evening.

- Wendy, June 2025

Thank you so much for taking the time to share your thoughts following your stay at the cottage. We're really pleased to hear that you enjoyed the peaceful location and appreciated the welcome pack and homemade scones. We’re disappointed to hear that certain aspects of the cottage didn’t quite meet your expectations. While the cottage doesn’t offer panoramic views, many guests have found the surrounding area and nearby walks to be full of natural beauty and charm. The cottage’s traditional character, combined with the modern extension, is something we’ve designed to balance comfort with authenticity. The bathroom fixtures are designed to make the most of the space available, we haven’t had any similar comments regarding this. The front garden, though more open, is often enjoyed by guests for morning coffee or a quiet read. Once again, thank you for your thoughtful feedback. We’re always striving to improve and ensure our guests have a relaxing and enjoyable stay. We hope to welcome you back in the future. Property Owner
Sara April 2025

“We had the most amazing week staying in this lovely, comfortable holiday cottage.”

There was a lovely welcome basket in the kitchen. The property is charming and set in the heart of Pendeen. Two pubs which serve excellent food are within walking distance and both are dog friendly. We had amazing weather at the end of April and really enjoyed walks on the coastal path towards St Just and to Gurnards Head. There is an amazing beach within walking distance (right from Pendeen Light House) where we sat and said Wow. St Just is lovely. If you park in Cot Vally you can walk to Sennen on the coastal path. We went to the Minick which was amazing. Jon the owner popped round during our stay and bought amazing scones , clotted cream and jam. You could not hope to meet a nicer person, who was very knowledgeable about the area. The cottage is very clean and comfortable. My dog did jump over the garden wall, so if you have a larger dog you may need to keep on a lead. We loved Pendeen, and have no hesitation in recommending this cottage and we hope to return.

- Sara, April 2025

Thank you for your excellent review. The area is blessed with many beautiful beaches and secluded coves, all easily accessible by foot as well as by public transports/cars. There are many walks for everyone so it was great to know that you took advantage of the glorious weather and visited the local beauty spots. Also worth noting is that the cottage is based in a World Heritage Site comprising of mining industrial archeology dating back to Roman times. Additionally, there are many Neolithic (some are older than the Egyptian Pyramids c5000 years), Bronze and Iron Age sites. It was lovely to meet you all and greatly appreciate taking the time to leave your review. Look forward to seeing you again very soon. Best Regards Jon Property Owner
Lorraine March 2025

Gordon December 2024

“This is a superb cottage, beautifully equipped and managed.”

Jon Williams, the owner, is so friendly and helpful and nothing was too much trouble. The welcoming hamper and superb homemade scones, clotted cream and jam (jam first!) were to die for. The location is ideal for touring west Cornwall and there are several nearby pubs which are excellent. Really couldn't be better and we had a wonderful break over Christmas. Thoroughly recommended.

- Gordon, December 2024

Many thanks for taking the time to leave your wonderful feedback, it is greatly appreciated. The cottage is in an ideal location so that local sites and areas as well as local amenities, eateries and pubs are all within easy reach. It was lovely to meet you all and we so pleased that you enjoyed the your stay at such a special time of year. Best regards Jon Property Owner
Mark November 2024

“The first impressions are always important and the cottage did not disappoint.”

The cottage was cosy, welcoming, well decorated and spotlessly clean, probably the cleanest cottage we have stayed in. The bedrooms are spacious and the beds are very comfortable. The kitchen is very well equipped with high quality appliances, plus lots of complimentary goodies! On our way to the cottage the housekeeper, Tanya, called to say the cottage was ready, which I thought was a nice touch. In the first evening, the owner, Jon, called in to make sure we had settled in OK and checked that we had everything we needed, we had a good chat for a while. Jon called around a couple of days later with scones, jam & clotted cream, which were fantastic, cheers Jon! (cream first). All in all we had a wonderful stay at 15 Boscaswell Downs and look forward to the next time.

- Mark, November 2024

Many thanks for taking the time to leave a wonderful review. All involved with the cottage work very hard to maintain the high standards. Tanya and her team take great care and pride in their attention to cleanliness , and thank you for your acknowledgement of her call to you. It was lovely to met the both of you. Good to know that you enjoyed the cream tea. I look forward to seeing you at the cottage in the near future. Thank you again for your feedback it is greatly appreciated. Best regards Jon Property Owner
Eileen October 2024

“Lovely week.”

Very nice weather at beginning of our week. House very comfortable. Jon very helpful. Wednesday lunchtime OAP deal at Kings Arm in St Just is excellent, but they were hard pressed on service. Did a lot of touring - Perranporth beach excellent for walking/C Bay Spa at West Pentire lovely for lunch/Trelissick NT worth a visit/ Porthleven/Hayle/Carbis Bay/Pendeen lighthouse etc.

- Eileen, October 2024

Thank you so much for taking the time to provide this review following your stay. So pleased to hear you had a lovely week. Property Owner
Sarah October 2024

“We had a lovely week away in the cottage.”

Upon entering the cottage we were very pleasantly surprised, it was spotlessly clean, well equipped & roomy. The owner Jon called around to see if we had settled in OK & provided us with some very usual info on places to visit. We found it very useful that the garden was secured by a small fence, to our dog to roam freely. We would definitely recommend this cottage

- Sarah, October 2024

Thank you for taking the time to leave your lovely feedback, and your wonderful comments about the cottage and highlighting that the garden is dog friendly. They are greatly appreciated. We have all worked very hard to maintain the high standards of the cottage.

Steve September 2024

“Just back from 14 days @ 15 Boscaswell Downs, what a lovely, clean, quiet and friendly place to stay.”

Huge thank you to Jon for the guidance and terrific scones on the Sunday. The house is situated in a very good location with easy access North, South and East, in fact I don't think you could stay in a better location, with a very welcoming pub (The North Inn), serving lovely food, 200 yards away. Overall a great experience. Steve Watson

- Steve, September 2024

Thank you for your marvelous review it is greatly appreciated. It was a pleasure to both meet you all and to highlight the many local amenities, eateries, beaches and walks (both on the moors and along the wonderful coasts) all within easy reach of the cottage. Best Regards Jon Property Owner
Stuart August 2024

“We recently spent a delightful week at Boscaswell Downs in Cornwall, and it was nothing short of magical.”

From the moment we arrived, we were enchanted by the charm of this lovely cottage. Nestled in a serene and picturesque location, it offered the perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of daily life. The cottage itself is beautifully maintained, blending rustic charm with modern comforts. The interior was cozy and tastefully decorated, making us feel right at home. The well-equipped kitchen allowed us to prepare our own meals, and we enjoyed many peaceful breakfasts and dinners in the quaint dining area overlooking the stunning Cornish countryside. One of the highlights was the private garden, a tranquil space where we spent hours soaking in the beauty of the surroundings. We loved exploring the nearby coastal walks, and the cottage's proximity to both the sea and charming villages made it an ideal base for our adventures. The hosts were incredibly welcoming and attentive, providing us with plenty of local tips and ensuring our stay was comfortable. Their attention to detail really made a difference, and we appreciated the thoughtful touches like the welcome basket filled with local goodies. Overall, our stay at Boscaswell Downs was a wonderful experience. Whether you're looking for a romantic retreat or a peaceful family holiday, this cottage is the perfect choice. We can't wait to return!

- Stuart, August 2024

Thank you for your comments highlighting not only both what the Cottage and the location has to offer but also it is very pleasing to know that you all enjoyed the wonderful varied surrounding area and the many amenities.

Andrew July 2024

“The cottage was beautifully presented and had everything we needed for our stay.”

It is in a quiet and secluded area in the small village of Pendeen, yet St Ives, Penzance, Land’s End are all easily accessible by car. The clifftop walk from Land’s End to Sennen and seeing dolphins on a boat trip from Penzance were highlights. The Porthmeor Beach Cafe in St Ives and The Queen’s Arms in Botallack were both excellent and dog friendly.

- Andrew, July 2024

Thank you for taking the time for leaving a lovely review which is greatly appreciated. As described, Pendeen is an excellent spot where so many various locations can be easily reached by foot and car/local transport. Additionally we are blessed with an abundance of wildlife, and particularly this time of year schools of Basking Sharks can be observed form the local cliffs. Best regards Jon Property Owner
Nicola June 2024

“We have just returned from a wonderful week at 15 Boscaswell Downs.”

Beautiful property, we all just felt relaxed and at home straight away. The hamper was outstanding, I have to say the best we’ve ever had as a welcoming treat, treats for our fur family too. Personally I think hampers give that added surprise when you arrive at your chosen holiday. It was lovely to meet Jon the owner, he made us all feel welcome and aware if we had any issues that he was only a phone call away. Thanks Jon for recommending eateries and places of interest. After a busy Sunday Jon arrived with freshly cooked scones along with cream and jam, a cream tea Delicious!! The cottage is a place we wouldn’t hesitate to return to, I’ve already recommended to other family members and friends. Hopefully be visiting again in the future. 15 Boscaswell Downs, you were amazing from start to finish. Thank you.

“A lovely cottage quietly situated up a cul-de sac.”

Very clean and comfortable with all the amenities you need. Great location for a walking holiday. Super walks, excellent pubs, a Spar shop across the road. What more do you need?

“Jon has clearly put a lot of thought and effort into making his guests at home and comfortable.”

The cottage is spotless and spacious and really well located for lots of walks. Lovely bedlinen and big bath towels, well equipped kitchen, big lounge with lots of seating and a welcome hamper. We have stayed in a lot of holiday cottages but never one with as much evidence of the owner's care and attention to detail.

Robin November 2023

“This is a beautiful, well equipped cottage.”

Perfectly positioned to explore the area, with Lands End, Cape Cornwall and the Tin Mine museum all pretty much only a stone throw away. Not to mention St Michael’s Mount is only a short drive. Local pubs also offer great hospitality and food. If you want to explore this part of Cornwall, you won’t go wrong from this cottage

- Robin, November 2023

Thank you we greatly appreciate your comments and taking the time to leave feedback. I am very pleased you enjoyed your stay. Throughout the year there is so much to do here, both the north and the south coast being within easy reach of Pendeen enables various options to explore the surrounding areas. Hope you can return for another holiday. Best wishes Jon Property Owner
N October 2023

“Spotlessly clean and very comfy bed.”

Kitchen exceptionally well equipped. It was a very nice touch for the owner to call round to welcome us and talk us through the heating etc - although there was a very comprehensive folder with all instruction manuals. Welcome pack not only for us but also for the dog. Lovely wild flowers on the kitchen table. Jon also popped round the next day with some lovely home made scones for us, which were absolutely delicious. Worth reading the visitor's book to see where to go and where to eat - although Jon had already given all this info during his introduction. Would not hesitate to recommend and would stay again.

- N, October 2023

Many thanks for taking the time to leave your generous feedback In both the visitor's book and on the website it is greatly appreciated. It was lovely to meet you all and definitely a pleasure to help wrt to your stay about the area and the cottage. Hope to see you all very soon. Best regards Jon Property Owner

“Fabulously comfortable, home from home cottage.”

There's so much to mention about this spacious property that is great, so will highlight a few; superb lounge with log burner and generous sofas, super comfy beds, generous bathroom and shower, well equipped kitchen and a safe garden for dogs unless they are fence jumpers! It was good to have a parking space and we walked several times a day down to the coast, minutes away, and up the the higher ground, inland. Handy to be able to stroll to local pubs for food (all dog friendly) and a must try, Geevor Mine Cafe, 10 minutes away. Jon the owner is a friendly and knowledgeable host, always an asset when you are new to visiting the area. We would highly recommend staying in this lovely cottage and will be heading back there.

“15 Boscaswell Downs Very clean and comfortable cottage and has all you could wish for in a holiday cottage and so very central in the village of Pendeen for shop and pubs, the owner of the cottage Jon was just so helpful with all his local knowledge and his recommendations of eating out and nothing was too much trouble for him.”

I would recommend Pendeen and and this cottage for exploring this part of beautiful Cornwall.

A May 2023

“Loved everything about 15 Boscaswell Downs.”

Bright, comfortable, airy property in a quiet cul-de-sac, with just the sound of bird song. There are bus stops on either side of the road which we found were a great way of seeing the beauty of Cornwall that was all around. The hedgerows are truly wonderful at this time of year. The most fabulous walks and wonderful sunsets. Jon was really helpful, he has such a great knowledge of the area, we never bothered to Google, we just asked Jon!! Will return again, to just walk the cliff paths & enjoy everything about this special place.

- A, May 2023

Many thanks for taking the time to leave your feedback. We are very pleased that you appreciated the beautiful local area and amenities. We look forward to your next booking! Property Owner
Jacqueline February 2023

“Great property, large lounge, comfortable sofas and wood-burner with a few days logs supplied, lovely start up groceries, secure garden ideal for dogs, clean, tidy, well equipped, ideal location just a short walk from the doorstep to the SW coastal path.”

No need to leave Pendeen village for good places to eat all within 2 mins walk Portuguese tapas at Maria Chica, North Inn serving the best pub food and 10 mins walk Geevor Tin Mine cafe with fantastic views straight out to sea. Discovered many circular walking routes back to the cottage, unspoilt coves accessible only by foot, Pendeen Lighthouse and Geevor all walkable. Short car journey to Penzance, Praa Sands about 20 mins away and The Lizard not too far, close links to A30. Good locality but equally good for a base to explore a wider area. Owner very helpful and always available to give assistance with local knowledge on hidden gems to explore. Thoroughly recommend and very sad to leave!

- Jacqueline, February 2023

Thank you very much for your review. So glad that you enjoyed your stay at the cottage, the local amenities, the wonderful countryside, the amazing coastline and glorious beaches and coves. Looking forward to welcoming you back. Property Owner

“Our second visit as we love this place.”

Accomodation is clean, warm and well equipped. I recommend visiting Hayle Beach. Stop of at Lula's on north Quay for a spot of lunch. Beautiful beach, great walk for dogs and humens. St Ives has a few beaches worth visiting plus a number of great fudge shops if that's your thing. Lizard Point on a dry day is worth visiting. So many beautiful places to visit. Thanks for sharing this lovely cottage and your local knowledge with us.

“We had a wonderful stay at 15 Boscaswell Downs - a lovely, clean and well equipped property in a perfect location.”

We couldn’t have wished for more! There are plenty of things to see and do in the surrounding area, especially the beautiful beaches and the most amazing sunsets. If you are able to venture off the beaten track you will certainly find more of the area’s most natural beauty. We absolutely loved the stunning Portheras Cove which is about half an hour walk from Pendeen Lighthouse on the coastal footpath. It’s not the easiest of walks (especially with arms full of beach equipment!) but it’s well worth it! And we also enjoyed a lovely walk from Sennen Harbour towards Lands End where you will come across the RMS Mulheim shipwreck. A day on the open top coaster bus is also highly recommended, for which the bus stops just 2 minutes away from the property on the main road near the shop. (On that note, the shop being just 2 minutes away from the property is also extremely handy!) So much to keep the family entertained, and all topped off with cosy nights in this ideal homely property. We found that we were short of nothing in the kitchen and all appliances were easy to use. The beds were comfortable and we all slept very well. And we felt perfectly settled into the living room on an evening with a cup of Cornish Tea and shortbread biscuits! Would highly recommend this property to anybody looking to discover this beautiful natural area.

“Thank you for a wonderful stay!”

It was very last minute due to an overseas cancellation. However. the whole family agreed it was as if we had booked this a year in advance. Extremely clean cottage and had everything for our needs. Great location, very friendly village and we were blessed with gorgeous weather. Thank you.

“We have had a very comfortable week and we're blessed with sunny warm weather.”

The area is beautiful with lots of local walks over the top or to beautiful beaches and mines. The people around were very friendly, in the pubs and shops. The house was very clean, relaxing and conformable and had everything we needed for our week away. Two minor things that may be worth reporting but didn't detract at all from our holiday and time in the house: we could not get terrestrial TV as there was no aerial and we tried through the roku but it was very slow to connect to anything. Maybe we weren't doing the right thing but we had no instructions. We had brought our firestick though so could stream iplayer to watch tennis and women's footy - we didn't use the TV much really though. The double bed mattress was a bit uncomfortable and has a slight dip in the middle but we slept pretty well anyway. We really did have a lovely time in a great house and location and would book again without hesitation, so would like to thanks to the owner and housekeeper for their thought and care.

- Catherine, July 2022

Thank you for taking the time to complete your feedback following your recent stay at 15 Boscaswell Downs. We are sorry you were unable to find the instructions to operate the TV which are in the properties information folder. The TV is run from a Roku firestick, offering all apps and regular TV channels, this works extremely well using the super fast broadband that this property offers. Mattresses are a personal preference and we are pleased to hear that you slept well. Number 15 is a new property with us and the owner is keen to ensure all guests have the best time, had you contacted us on either of these points we would have been more than happy to help resolve them. We hope to welcome you back in the near future. Property Owner
