  • "Wow! Idyllic!"

    Perfect location with wonderful views, quaint yet beautifully appointed with a modern twist, spotlessly clean. Bed superbly comfy! Easy parking for two cars. I cannot say enough about this delightful cottage. The welcome pack was SO good. Thank you! Myself and Rosa (black Lab) have had a magical week exploring the surrounding countryside despite the unpredictable English weather!! Some walks we had to forego as just too slippery and muddy underfoot but we drove to Tintagel and had a great beach run at Crackington Haven and Widemouth Bay. Thoroughly enjoyed the daily local walks around Boscastle. We have booked again for next year.

  • "Another fabulous week at Harbour Cottage."

    Cottage was looking immaculate, as it did last year, and they have even improved on the the equipment provided. Welcome pack was luxurious as ever. Weather, for the time of year, was good but even when it did rain the views from the cottage across the river and harbour were fabulous. Only downside of week was a trip to Tintagel on Tuesday only to find it was closed....note to ourselves to check opening times when visiting off-season. Will be back.

We were left a very generous welcome gift pack by the owner and it was very dog friendly. The cottage is brilliantly located for exploring north Cornwall, both by car and walks from the doorstep, and Boscastle itself is a charming place. We didn't want to leave!

There was always lots of hot water in the luxurious raindrop shower. The very generous welcome pack was exceptional, including Prosecco, red wine and plenty of local produce.

  • "WOW!! What can I say that hasn’t already been said on previous comments"

    . A truly perfect property. The cottage was so spotlessly clean I could have been the first guest ever staying there. Everything had been so well thought out the owners had thought of everything but it was the small touches that made it extra special - the treats left for my dog, the amazing welcome hamper and the lovely personalised written card from the owners welcoming me to the cottage. From getting up in the morning to that view and the fantastic shower to falling into the super comfy bed at night and listening to the tide coming in and out the days were just perfection. The joint star of the show has to be Bostcastle and its harbour such a special place and with walks literally straight from the gate the location could not be more amazing. The hardest part of the day was deciding on what walk to do - a bracing coastal cliff walk to a waterfall with breathtaking views or a relaxing walk through gorgeous woods. Thank you for sharing this little bit of heaven, the owners should be so so proud and I will be returning…x

The property

Nestled at the end of the Boscastle’s tiny port is this quaint, whitewashed bolthole, Harbour Cottage.

Bring your partner to this wonderful accommodation to enjoy this corner of Cornwall, where the bustling village plays host to a sheltered natural inlet and an Elizabethan quay, which rests in an impressive amphitheatre of steep cliffs.

Park up your car in the off-road spot and soak up the picturesque surroundings before you enter into the Cornish cottage that you can call home for the duration of your stay.

Enter into the contemporary-style kitchen and unpack your shopping before you make the most of the quality appliances to try your hand at a local delicacy or a family favourite dish.

Enjoy your meal at the dining table, where the large window floods in natural light and offers delightful views as you pop open a bottle of fizz and tuck in.

After dinner, venture into the spacious sitting room, where the woodburning stove takes centre stage and character exudes from the exposed beams; snuggle up on the sofa as you flick on the TV, whilst the fire crackles in the background and offers a gentle warmth during a winter’s evening.

As the evening draws to a close, look forward to catching your rest under the sheets of the plush king-size bed and wake up each morning to the beautiful views of the harbour and surrounding countryside.

Immerse yourself in your surroundings by taking a stroll through the village, where you will find a plethora of shops and places to eat and drink, accompanied by the visitor centre and The Museum of Witchcraft and Magic, for a good insight into the village’s past and culture.

From here, stroll to the harbour and climb on board one of the many boat trips, taking you down the coast towards Long Island, where you may catch glimpses of seals, razorbills, guillemots, and puffins.

Explore the coastline further and visit the National Trust owned cliffs of Penally Point and Willapark, with a white coastguard lookout tower perched on the end boasting breath-taking views.

From here, walk the famous South West Coastal Path between Boscastle and Crackington Haven, home to many features including the Strangles beach, High Cliff, which is the highest point on the path and Pentargon inlet with an impressive waterfall.

Further along the coast, you and your loved one can look forward to exploring the cove of Tintagel, famous for its ruined castle and legends of King Arthur, or spend the day at the fishing village of Port Isaac, which doubles up at Port Wenn in the British television comedy drama, Doc Martin.

Whatever the weather, a stay at Harbour Cottage promises to be wonderful.

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.
