This rural retreat sits amongst the rolling countryside of North Cornwall, just 1 mile from Boscastle. The property sleeps four guests and is the perfect bolthole for couples and small families looking to escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Enjoy rugged coastal walks around the village, or spend the day at the beach at the seaside resorts of Bude (15 miles) or Crackington Haven (7.5 miles).

The traditional, semi-detached stone cottage is set on the owner’s working farm. Inside, the holiday home showcases the property’s original charm, with beamed ceilings and old slate flooring sitting seamlessly alongside contemporary decor and homely accessories. After a busy day, unwind in the cosy lounge, where a selection of comfortable seating is arranged around a Smart TV and a crackling open fire. The farmhouse-style kitchen is equipped with everything needed for a self-catering break, and the dining room is a lovely spot to come together for family mealtimes, with its cosy wood burner and far-reaching countryside views. Completing this floor is a handy shower room and utility room. Upstairs, discover two attractive, country-style bedrooms with pretty floral fabrics and relaxing rural views. A family bathroom completes the accommodation. Outside, the large, enclosed garden has a patio area for al fresco dining and a lawn where children can play. There is private parking for two cars.

Boscastle is an unspoilt harbour village, with whitewashed fishermen’s cottages and traditional village inns. Much of the land surrounding the village is owned by the National Trust, and you’ll find a network of walking trails to explore through the wild and rugged coastal landscape. Immerse yourself in local myth and legend at nearby Tintagel Castle (4 miles), perched high on the Cornish cliffs, or for a day at the beach, journey 15 miles to Bude. Here, you’ll find an array of sandy beaches, clifftop paths, and traditional seaside shops and eateries.
