"This is a lovely house, well-equipped, comfortable and spotlessly clean!"
We loved our week here.
Thank you so much for your feedback. We are so glad that you enjoyed your stay and would love to welcome you back anytime in the future. - John Bray Cornish Holidays on behalf of the owner. Property Owner

"Boskewys is delightful, all utensils you could wish for in the kitchen."
Personally I found the extremely comfortable large sofa very difficult to get up from, having said that, that was my problem having had a hip replacement in May!! The garden and summerhouse was a great bonus, although access wasn't great as whichever set of steps you accessed by was hindered by brambly thorny rogue overhangs. I'll bring my secateurs next time
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us. We are pleased you enjoyed your stay at Boskewys. We do hope that we get the opportunity to welcome you back to Cornwall in the future. John Bray Cornish Holidays on behalf of the owner. Property Owner

"Lovely little cottage in good location, comfy beds and huge sofa the kids wanted to take home!"
Good Wi-Fi but no tv signal. It’s a bit worn and not very modern but perfectly adequate.

"Boskewys was an absolutely wonderful home away from home for a week for our party of 6."
The house is large and easily accommodated all of us, and we especially loved the huge conservatory. It is equipped with every possible thing you could want in a house in Cornwall from a blender and a mixer to bodyboards in the garage, and it was very comfortable, clean and in a brilliant location. One thing to be aware of is that many of the ceilings are quite low, but that comes with it being a period property. The only slightly disappointing thing about our stay was that there was a planned maintenance of the power cables on the property during our stay - not the fault of the owner of course, but we were not informed of this beforehand, and only discovered it when all the lights went out, which meant we had to adjust our plans for cooking and activities for that day. Other than that small hiccup it was a wonderful place and I highly recommend it!
Thank you for your kind comments, we are delighted you enjoyed your stay at Boskewys. Sorry for the inconvenience of the maintenance to the power cables, this was beyond our control and we hope it didn't impair on your enjoyment of your holiday.

"Wonderful cottage."
Was large enough for my family of 6(3 teenagers). Kitchen full of everything you could ask for and 2 fridges were an added bonus. The wonderful added bonus was the shower aid seat. This was because 2 weeks before our holiday my daughter had a nasty break to her arm. Knowing there was no bath in the cottage we did worry a little but upon arriving we found seat so she could shower (which was large as well) and wash her hair without getting her cast wet. The summer house was wonderful for the teenagers to hide away when they needed to. The local butchers is a must for bacon and sausage, both to die for. If you want certain bakery items then you need to rise before 8am to pickup as they sell out very fast. The only downside is not having a list of places to go to find items, Google maps really help with this (supermarkets etc). We arrived very late and all shops local were closed so supplies had to wait till morning. Basic supplies would have been nice if offered as this cottage is in the middle of nearly no--where. We all rate this cottage as fantastic. And didn't want to end our holiday!
Dear guests Thank you for this feedback. We are so pleased that you enjoyed the stay in our cottage. We are glad that the shower seat came in useful - up to now we haven’t needed to use it ourselves but no doubt the time will come! Your points re supplies and shops have been noted.

The property
Rock 1.6 miles.
Perched in St Minver near the lovely coastal village of Rock in Cornwall, discover this traditional, three-bedroom cottage, Boskewys.
Benefitting from an enclosed garden with a summer house housing useful utilities (including a handy shower for when coming back from the beach), a garage parking space and a well-equipped kitchen, in addition to close proximity to the coast and local amenities, Boskewys is great as a base for a family or group of friends looking to explore this splendid area in Cornwall.
After unloading your belongings, cross the threshold into your new home-from-home, kicking back and unwinding in the pleasant sitting room, complete with Smart TV so you can catch up on all your favourite shows after a long day.
Allow your other half to rustle up a tasty dish in the kitchen, before settling down in the conservatory to tuck in over a bottle of wine, admiring the pretty views out towards the raised, lawned garden.
If you like to sit outside listening to the birdsong, step outside and make use of the outdoor furniture; alternatively, take advantage of the summer house where children have extra floor space to play or watch a DVD in a change of scenery.
Here, you’ll also find a handy shower room, washing machine and small capacity tumble dryer.
Back in the property, escape to the first floor to wash away the day and complete your evening routine before opting for either a super-king-size, twin or bunk bedroom to catch your rest in.
In the morning, kickstart your itinerary at Rock Beach, perfect for a day building sandcastles, paddling the shores or trying your hand at a range of watersports including paddleboarding or head to Daymer on a breezy day if you are more inclined towards wind-surfing.
Hike to Pentire Point from Polzeath beach, ideal for the wildlife enthusiasts amongst you and boasting far-reaching views of the stunning coastline, before heading back towards the beach or refuelling with some tasty fare nearby at the Cracking Crab or Oystercatcher, Polzeath.
Further afield, in Padstow discover Padstow Museum, Padstow Sealife Safaris- Wildlife Watching Boat Trips and the National Lobster Hatchery or visit Tintagel, home to Tintagel Castle, St Nectan’s Waterfall and the National Trust site of Glebe Cliff, in addition to a great selection of pubs, shops and restaurants.
Whisk your loved ones away on a memorable retreat to Cornwall.

About the location
ROCK
Padstow 1.5 miles via ferry; Polzeath 2.8 miles; Wadebridge 6.2 miles.
Rock is a desirable and much sought after coastal village located on the north eastern bank of the River Camel opposite the famous harbour town of Padstow which is easily reached by a regular ferry service. The summer home of royalty and celebrities offering top class restaurants and quality shops, the real draw is the array of watersports including sailing, water skiing, windsurfing and angling. Continuing on a sporting theme, the golf course at nearby St Enodoc is considered to be one of the best in the country. With an abundance of world class beaches all within a short radius it is easy to see why Rock holds its popularity.
