"We really enjoyed our stay at Boskednan Wartha."
The owner was very kind & helpful. The cottage was lovely, the place was clean throughout. We loved the small touches like fresh flowers and scones with fresh cream and jam waiting for us.!
The garden was a haven to be in, the hidden area with bench was a lovely place to sit in the morning with a coffee. We have already decided that we would definitely return to Boskednan Wartha in the future and have already recommended to friends and family.

"We stayed at BOSKEDNAN WARTHA at the end of February 2022."
The bungalow was superbly decorated, furnished and equipped.
My husband and I stayed there with our son and three grandchildren who were absolutely entranced with the cottage.
The garden was glorious and the children said that they were in a magic wood. They were able to walk a long way with us in the extensive garden and adored seeing rabbits, squirrels and lots of birds. We will definitely come again!! Thank you to the owners for a wonderful holiday - your thoughtfulness in all areas was appreciated!!

Lovely setting. Even the small things like fresh fruit, flowers and cream teas on arrival. Kids loved the garden area with a few chickens appearing which they gave names to.
TV and Internet was good. The main bed was nice & soft and not rock hard. Outhouse had washer/dryer which was very useful on those beach days with kids.
Owners were very welcoming.
Would recommend and would consider again if holidaying in that area.

Our second visit to this property and as great as the first time. Very clean and uncluttered, just how we like it. The scones on arrival was a nice touch and the owners are very friendly and helpful. It's a great base to explore the tin coast and Sennen Cove was fab for the surfing and body boarding.
Thank you for a lovely base for our holiday.

"We had a relaxing stay at Boskednan Wartha."
It was a peaceful location through a couple of miles of narrow lanes, which I'd conquered after few trips out. The property was very welcoming with everything provided for.The back garden was entertaining with the rabbits and squirrels. The only negative was the double bed, it was far too soft and gave no support. I never got a full nights rest, sinking into the mattress. If this was replaced we would probably return as it was ideal for us.

"Fabulous week at Boskednana Wartha."
Beautiful bungalow in a secluded and peaceful location. The gardens are amazing and a sun trap on an afternoon. Garden furniture and umbrellas provided to be able to enjoy it. Plenty of opportunities to explore the rural hills and moors on foot from the front door.
Inside everything was clean, tidy and well facilitated. Fresh flowers, fruit and a Cornish cream tea to welcome us.
Owner called across on our second day to make sure everything was OK and on our last day on driving past him on a nearby country lane again took the trouble to stop and thank us for our stay. It was us who thanked him.
If you want a quiet and tranquil base for your stay in Cornwall this is the place for you.

"Superb cottage in splendid surroundings and very handy for both sides of the peninsula."
The garden is magnificent and has a continuous supply of rabbits and foxes to watch from the conservatory, which itself is lovely to sit in if you have rainy days.. We only met Mike, who was lovely, and helpful in pointing out routes. i especially liked that there was a fine supply of essential stuff: a pile of jeye cloths, lots of cleaning liquids and toilet rolls.
If we have one complaint it is that we couldn’t get the water in the stand-up shower hotter than tepid. I hate overhead shower heads anyway as you can’t direct the flow where you want it and need to wear a shower cap if you don’t want your hair drenched. The water to the bath shower head was lovely and hot. All-in-all a superb place to stay. Thank you to Mike.

The cottage is always warm, exceptionally clean and very well equipped.

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.

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.

"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.

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!
