The property
Located right in the heart of the famous Cornish village of Boscastle is this ancient, terraced cottage.
Smart and stylish with tiled floors throughout the ground floor and wooden floors upstairs, this property provides comfortable family accommodation throughout the year.
On the ground floor is a cosy living room with a wood burning stove, perfect for warming toes on a chilly autumn evening, and a sweet little kitchen with handcrafted cupboards and worktops made from a local beech tree.
Enjoy hearty family meals at the stout dining table in the neat dining room with French windows that open up onto the garden.
Upstairs, three comfortable bedrooms, two doubles and a small single, plus a family bathroom complete the accommodation.
Relax in the neat, little paved garden at the back of the house, where you'll find a very practical outhouse with plenty of room for surfboards and other beach paraphernalia and a cloakroom.
The striking natural harbour, where two rivers meet the sea between steep moorland hills, and the busy shops, pubs and cafés of Boscastle, are a short stroll downhill from Dunn Cottage, whilst there’s lovely cliff and wooded valley walks close nearby.
If you need the feel of sand between your toes, head for the sandy beaches at Bossiney 2 miles away or Trebarwith Strand, which is also a hit with the surfing fraternity.
Ancient Tintagel, rich in history and Arthurian legend, is just along the coast.
This comfortable, well-equipped cottage makes a great base for families to explore this lovely stretch of north Cornwall’s coastline.
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.
