Mark
The cottage was cosy, welcoming, well decorated and spotlessly clean, probably the cleanest cottage we have stayed in. The bedrooms are spacious and the beds are very comfortable. The kitchen is very well equipped with high quality appliances, plus lots of complimentary goodies! On our way to the cottage the housekeeper, Tanya, called to say the cottage was ready, which I thought was a nice touch. In the first evening, the owner, Jon, called in to make sure we had settled in OK and checked that we had everything we needed, we had a good chat for a while. Jon called around a couple of days later with scones, jam & clotted cream, which were fantastic, cheers Jon! (cream first). All in all we had a wonderful stay at 15 Boscaswell Downs and look forward to the next time.

Upon entering the cottage we were very pleasantly surprised, it was spotlessly clean, well equipped & roomy. The owner Jon called around to see if we had settled in OK & provided us with some very usual info on places to visit. We found it very useful that the garden was secured by a small fence, to our dog to roam freely. We would definitely recommend this cottage

Very nice weather at beginning of our week. House very comfortable. Jon very helpful. Wednesday lunchtime OAP deal at Kings Arm in St Just is excellent, but they were hard pressed on service. Did a lot of touring - Perranporth beach excellent for walking/C Bay Spa at West Pentire lovely for lunch/Trelissick NT worth a visit/ Porthleven/Hayle/Carbis Bay/Pendeen lighthouse etc.
