Brambles – Holiday Cottage in Boscastle

A holiday cottage in Boscastle with pretty views over the valley, the fields and the distant sea – a cosy choice for both winter and summer breaks.

Brambles was a holiday cottage in Boscastle, the historic harbour village on Cornwall’s north coast. From the cottage there were pretty views over the valley, the fields and the distant sea, making it a lovely choice for both winter and summer holidays.

Boscastle is a superb holiday location with outstanding views, excellent cliff walks, golf and watersports nearby, and the picturesque harbour and village pubs are a few minutes’ walk away.

Brambles advertised on Cornwall Online from January 2013 to March 2014 and is no longer advertising on Cornwall Online, so this page is kept for reference. See other places to stay nearby in Boscastle, Crackington Haven and Tintagel below.

Boscastle – Harbour, Valley & Cliffs

Boscastle grew up around the only natural harbour on 40 miles of this coast, sheltered by two stone breakwaters at the mouth of a deep, winding inlet. The harbour, the cliffs on either side and much of the Valency valley are cared for by the National Trust, and the harbourside has cafés, gift shops and the Museum of Witchcraft and Magic.

Walks lead up the wooded Valency Valley to St Juliot, where Thomas Hardy restored the church, out to the lookout on Willapark, and along the coast path to Pentargon waterfall, Crackington Haven and Tintagel. The Napoleon Inn in the upper village and the Wellington Hotel near the harbour bridge are long-standing local favourites. See our Boscastle village guide for parking, toilets and Blue Badge bays.
