About this property
Tintagel 1 mile.
A warm and welcoming stone-built miller's residence in St Nectan's Glen, a wooded valley and Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, below the hamlet of Bossiney. Surrounded by 20 acres of garden and woodland, with walks through the trees and down Rocky Valley (NT) to the sea and Bossiney Cove on the doorstep. This typical Cornish cottage is comfortable and spacious with beamed ceilings, exposed stonework and a woodburner. Note: This property can be booked with Refs. 981, 982 and 983, together they sleep 13.
Tintagel is dominated by the magnificent ruins of King Arthur's Castle which lie on the cliffside outside the town. The sea, secluded coves and spectacular scenery dominate the area, and a number of superb beaches, including Trebarwith Strand, are easily reached for surfing, swimming and sunbathing. The town offers pubs and restaurants and the National Trust owned Old Post Office. Walkers will love the SW coast path which goes right through Tintagel then winds its way in both directions along the cliff tops through stunning countryside, before meandering down to the water's edge. The pretty village of Boscastle with its charming quay and village pubs is 2.5 miles north, and if you venture further afield you will find the surfing resort of Bude; the wild open spaces of Bodmin Moor; the incredible biospheres of the Eden Project; Padstow and its famous restaurants, and much more.

It has a garden which has a fast flowing stream. The house is comfortable although the fittings are a little dated. It was very peaceful and we never heard any of our neighbours. The storage heaters were more than adequate so we did not have to use the wood burning stove in the lounge. We used a local bus service which picked up/dropped off close to the property which was helpful. It is listed as a let for 6 people. As a couple we had no need to use the sofa bed the wardrobe and drawers located on the landing. Useful information was provided about walks through the valley. WiFi is provided. Only negatives were lack of some basic utensils e.g. no slotted spoon and the temperature on the oven knob on cooker had faded away.
