“Everything at Boskednan Wartha was very good for us.”

The informed chats with Mr Williams was what makes holidays special. The only downside to all of this, are the main agents messrs Sykes Cottages, who expect us to spend more money on Holiday Insurance, just in case we can't come for unexpected reasons. You, a few years ago, did give us a credit on our account when we had to cancel due to such a case, as this property was relet within a few days. In these instances it should not require a holiday insurance when no one has lost anything.

- Mr Vines, September 2020
“Fantastic holiday home.”

The garden was amazing, and the location meant that there was absolutely no noise - so peaceful! Really convenient for Zennor, St Ives, Penzance and all the southerly beaches. Tiny detail, but maybe the hosts could upgrade the Sky package to include more channels or have Netflix? We only wanted the TV once or twice but would have been nice to have a few options. Otherwise, highly recommended! Hosts were great and very welcoming! We’ll be back - thanks. Oh, make sure you use the full address when using a satnav as we came from St Ives direction and went on a wild goose chase

- Mr Howard, August 2020
“Totally brilliant house, amazing location.”

... 10/10 and gold stars - we loved it!!! Have already recommended it to family and friends

- Mr Waterston, August 2020
“The place was stunning and the owner was a lovely gentleman.”

We would definitely return and recommend to anyone.

- Mrs Oliver, August 2020

- Mr Ironmonger, January 2020
“Absolutely beautiful surroundings, with good information in what there is to do in the area.”

Literally a home from home.

- Mrs Buchanan, October 2019
“This was our sixth visit to Boskednaan Wartha, and we've already booked again for next year which shows how much we love it!”

The bungalow is set in beautiful gardens where children can play happily for hours (although care needs to be taken with the river). The property provides everything you need for a relaxing holiday, with a warm welcome from the owners. There is plenty to explore in the local area, with walks from the doorstep and lots of places to visit a short drive away. If the weather is bad then Boskednaan Wartha provides the perfect place to relax indoors.

- Mrs Farrell, October 2019
“Wow! What a wonderful property.”

Despite it being the summer holidays we felt that we had escaped the chaos completely. The garden is so amazing! The star watching, bats, rabbits, pigs and green space made this a wonderful adventure for both the adults and kids! Thank you x

- Mrs Gillingham, August 2019
“The cottage was beautiful, especially the gardens and the stream down the side.”

Plenty of fun navigating the typically narrow Cornish roads. Our only minor issue was the Wi-Fi which, although was ok on mobile phones, was no good at all for use on our laptop e.g. streaming video.

- Mrs Ives, July 2019
“A perfect and very peaceful rural location in the heart of the Cornish countryside .”

A lovely comfortable holiday home and stunning garden which is full of character with a stream and bordering adjacent farmland with farm animals and wildlife in abundance. The hosts were very informative and most hospitable. We particularly enjoyed learning so much about the local area. Within a very short walk there are far reaching views toward the coast. On the nearby moors there are old tin mines and amazing panoramic views. We would highly recommend this holiday home .

- Mr Corcoran, July 2019
“Freedom of an extensive garden.”

Very welcoming owners who were not intrusive but helpful when necessary. The large well equipped kitchen had every thing we needed and all electrical equipment supplied was easy to use. The large conservatory was comfortable with two doors that could be fully opened to let in cool air. There is a huge free standing bath and a modern shower in the bath room and there was always lots of very hot water available. Beds were comfortable and the bedrooms large and light. The two dogs that run free were friendly and liked attention but didn't attempt to come into the property. The cottage is remotely situated and the approach roads are narrow and in the summer overgrown making slow and careful driving necessary. Penzance is close by and there are three supermarkets on the A30 within 15 minutes drive from the cottage. We found that it was easiest to drive to the supermarket on the way to or from our trips out rather than make a special journey to shop. Places to visit locally; Marazion (St Michael's Mount), Eden Project, St Ives, Mousehole and Pendennis Castle at Falmouth. Lands end is expensive, over comercialised and very busy.

- Mrs Boxall, June 2019
“This pretty bungalow felt like home from home the minute we set foot inside the door.”

The cream tea on arrival was a sensational and had us hooked on cream teas for most of our stay. A beautiful reception hall, leading off to a good sized twin, a single and a huge double room. Beautifully decorated with neutral tones throughout, all the bedrooms had more than enough storage for what you would need. The bathroom was absolutely lovely with a roll top slipper bath, old style high level cistern toilet, large washbasin and large enclosed overhead shower, heated towel rail was an excellent addition. Leading of the hall there was a lovely dining area large fully equipped kitchen with vaulted ceiling and leading off the kitchen and dining room was a large beautiful conservatory. the french doors led off to a massive garden complimented with huge trees and a stream running along side of the entirety of the garden and the property itself. Everything was clean and tidy and we wanted for nothing. The owner was always on hand and very friendly and helpful. When not exploring the beautiful area we spent most of our time in the conservatory. We were looking for a quiet paradise and we found this in spades, we were so impressed before we left we rebooked 2 weeks for the next year. The finishing touches of stunning flowers in the dining room and a perfectly beautiful displays in the bedrooms were a lovely touch. Highly recommended and can't thank the owners enough, see you next year!

- Mr & Mrs North, May 2019
“We highly recommend this cottage, it is probably the best we have stayed in over many years and look forward to staying again - if we can book in before the many returning guests!”

Just 4 miles from Penzance in the idyllic Cornish countryside, Boskednan Wartha is a very clean, comfortable, generously proportioned and attractively furnished, well equipped bungalow. It sits in beautiful and extensive secluded gardens and the owner Mike Williams is the perfect host. Slept well in the comfortable bed: it is certainly quiet here. Plenty of car parking space.

- Mr White, May 2019
“The cottage was set in a large and beautiful garden surrounded by gorgeous countryside.”

Our hosts, Michael and Jenny were extremely welcoming and helpful, and even gave us a peek at their new born piglets. It was idyllic.

- Mrs O'brien, May 2019
“It is such a lovely rural location with a stream running through the garden, that has a large grassed area and plenty of plants and shrubs.”

Mr and Mrs Williams are always happy to talk to us, and help us in anyway. This was a perfect place for us and we were happy to leave the cottage in similar state as we found it.

- Mr Vines, April 2019
“A lovely house - beautiful garden in a remote and tranquil location.”

Perfect to unwind and really relax. The owner has thought of everything, is very helpful and friendly. Very clean and everything you could want for a relaxing holiday. Would highly recommend.

- Mrs Stevens, April 2019
“Place was lovely and the hosts were amazing.”

Will definitely go again

- Miss Payne, February 2019
“Nice place very quiet rabbits running around the large garden but did feel that it needed a more careful clean between rentals .”

Bed very soft but that's down to my preference

- Mr Holbeche, January 2019
“House was amazing and the cream tea on arrival was a very pleasant surprise.”

Hosts were very friendly and helpful. If we had more time we would have loved to stay longer. Coffee machine with complementary coffee pods was fantastic. Good water pressure for a fast bath or great shower. Only negative was the painfully slow WiFi. Very relaxing and beautiful location.

- Mr Lamont, December 2018
“First impressions extended to second, third and forth ones!”

This cottage has the WOW factor in spades. So many little extras were there to greet us, including a full fruit bowl, fresh flowers, apple juice and a very welcome cream tea all thoughtfully laid out with the cream in the fridge. We have self catered for years and this cottage seems to have taken the best from them all and rolled it into one. Add to that a lovely family, a perfect location for exploring, and the Garden which is just amazing. Mike was very kind to us for which we thank him and if ever we return to this area we would book this cottage again without hesitation. Thank you one and all for such an enjoyable visit.

- Mrs Bartlett, October 2018

About the location

PENZANCE

St Ives 8 miles. Helicopter to Isles of Scilly - 30 minutes

Penzance hosts Golowan, the Midsummer Carnival, and The Literary Festival. There are also The Exchange, Newlyn and Penlee Art Galleries. One of Cornwall’s most popular holiday areas is the spectacular sweep of Mount’s Bay, from the cliffside fishing village of Mousehole through Penzance and around to beautiful Marazion, the coastline hides a wealth of sandy beaches, rocky coves as well as winding village streets and other places to visit and explore. Connected by a causeway to the shore at Marazion is the National Trust’s stunningly beautiful St Michael’s Mount with its hilltop castle and Mediterranean gardens. Walk across at low water and take one of the ferry boats back when the tide is up. Penzance with its winding streets, shops, clubs, restaurants and harbour is a must as it is the jumping-off point for day trips to the Isles of Scilly as well as being the harbor. The South West Coast Path passing through Penzance winds its way along the clifftops towards Land’s End. On the way, stop off for a coffee and a rest at beautiful Lamorna Cove, explore the open air Minack Theatre and marvel at the cliffs as you approach Gwennap Head. A stunning walk for those seeking solitude, exercise and some of the UK’s best coastal scenery. Penzance is the perfect holiday base. Ideally placed for exploring this land of Celtic myth and legend and with enough to do and see in the immediate area to keep all the family occupied.
