The holiday cottages in Boscastle have been lovingly restored and renovated by the owners who are personally totally involved in letting the cottages, welcoming visitors but asking them to respect the personal atmosphere of both cottages. The Holiday cottages are available to let for family holidays throughout the year, special breaks i.e. Christmas, Easter, holiday weekends and for shorter periods at special rates, usually during the off-season. Dogs are permitted by arrangement only.

Boscastle and Surrounding Area

The cottages are well situated in the upper part of the village with the characterful 16th Napoleon Inn on the doorstep. The garage/grocery is close by and it is a pleasant walk down the olde worlde former main street (Fore Street) to the Post Office and harbour area in the lower part of the village.

Here you will find the Tourist Office, with information about walks, fishing trips, golfing, riding, and nearby pubs, restaurants, beaches etc. There are also a number of shops where food supplies can be bought and of course the opportunity to try a 'Cornish pasty' in one of the teashops or pubs down there. Returning to the cottage however is uphill!
