“Pretty cottage, fully equipped with everything you need in the kitchen, although we hardly used it.”

Boscastle is stunning and we visited local places - Tintagel Castle, Tintagel Brewery (lovely food), Boscastle Farm Shop (lovely food), St Necterns Glen waterfall, Newquay Zoo, Padstow. Being picky about the cottage - it smelt of wet dog and I had to leave the windows open to get rid of the smell. Rugs and wood floors covered in dog hair. No logs for a fire, which was advertised. Be aware that cottage on a steep hill up from the town so if you have any health issues it could be a problem.

Thank you for your feedback. We will be looking in to your comments and have them addressed. Property Owner

“This is my 2nd visit in 6 months to Dunn House.”

Exceptionally well equipped kitchen and very comfortable bedrooms. Need to sort out heating in living room - still difficult to regulate electric wall radiator and portable heater still doesn’t work. Please put the fire tongs back so people can use the wood burner. Caretaker excellent. Lovely location, lovely village. Many thanks

“DUNN Cottage is just lovely, beautifully clean.”

However you advertised it as having a log burning fire. We took our own logs. Once lit then realised the cottage had no fire tools nothing to clean out the fire. When I booked I called the office to make sure the cottage was down in the village, you advertise it as being in the heart of the village. This cottage should come with a warning. It's on a very very steep hill going out of the village. I have mobility problems and found it's situation difficult. It wasn't just a short walk to amenities. Be honest the advertising is misleading. Other users need to know they need to be hill walking fit. Otherwise it's constant use of the car and expensive car parking charges.

The only thing is parking, it was a bit of a pain but not a spoiler of a holiday and due to position of cottage not a lot can be done, lovely holiday

- Mrs Griffin, September 2021

Thank you for writing feedback. As you have mentioned, there is little to do about the parking. As indicated on the website, parking is usually available on a quiet road nearby or in a public car park nearby but can understand this may be cumbersome. We are glad to hear that you enjoyed your stay. Property Owner
Mr Knowles August 2021

“Given that on changeover day we were not allowed in until 6 o'clock, ie the cleaners had 9 hours to clean, we were not impressed.”

Given the prevalence of Covid in cornwall, we were expecting a santised cottage - not one where all the touch points were sticky, some of the cooking utensils were filthy with food, there were dog poo in bags left on the patio. There was even broken glass in the rug on the living room floor. Everywhere needed a really good wipe down and clean. The cottage was nice, but very cold.

- Mr Knowles, August 2021

Thank you for completing your feedback following your stay ay Dunn Cottage. We were sorry to hear that the cleanliness was not to the normal high expectations for this cottage. As you are aware we made contact with the owner who visited the property following your stay and carried out a spring clean, rectifying the issues you raised. Discussions have also been had with the housekeeping team. We hope to welcome you back to the West Country in the future. Property Owner
Mr Sparks July 2021

“The only down side on this cottage is parking sometimes difficult and a little way away.”

Might be worth the owners making an agreement with the community centre just a short distance away like the other cottages seem to have done this would make this cottage really attractive proposition.

- Mr Sparks, July 2021

Thank you for your feedback which we have discussed with the owner. Unfortunately, it's not possible to be able to park in the community centre car park. The owners have looked into this as alternative parking for the property but have been advised that it wouldn't be possible. Property Owner
Mr Beckett June 2021

“Our first time renting a cottage and Dunn Cottage ticked all of the boxes.”

Comfortable and well equipped with everything you need for your holiday, well situated for visiting other areas, and lots of good walking paths in the area. Parking is not very good, although there is a car park at the bottom in the village, but he hill on the return home is challenging for someone not able bodied. We had an excellent stay and would definitely staycation again.

“Parking is an issue in the street.”

Ms Powell-thomas May 2021

“Great holiday: cottage really easy to use and very well equipped; great back patio area which got a good deal of sun for reading.”

Loved Boscastle; so many walks from the door and short drives to nearby towns and coves. Will visit again.

- Ms Powell-thomas, May 2021
Mr Gibson August 2020

“A great little cottage and only a 5 minute walk down to central Boscastle, yes ...”

A great little cottage and only a 5 minute walk down to central Boscastle, yes the hill down is steep but very walkable and an enjoyable stroll after enjoying all that Boscastle has to offer

- Mr Gibson, August 2020
Mrs Hemmings August 2020

“Had a fantastic holiday.”

The cottage was just what we expected and more. It was very clean and comfortable. It had everything we needed. Extra cleaning equipment left for us to use too. Lots of good walks around Boscastle. Everyone was very friendly especially in the restaurants and cafes. Social distancing was followed in all shops, restaurants etc. Lovely to get an email from the owner the week before the holiday and we were able to ask any questions before we arrived. We would definitely visit again.

- Mrs Hemmings, August 2020
Mr Mansell August 2019

“Dunn cottage was a wonderful setting for a relaxing family holiday, the location was secluded but near St Agnes and was very quiet .”

The facilities were really modern and the living space and bedrooms were really comfy and relaxing In all a great experience and would definitely book again.

- Mr Mansell, August 2019
Mrs Milner June 2019

“Dunn Cottage provided us with an excellent base from which we were able to explore Boscastle and the surrounding area.”

A traditional stone built Cornish cottage, it is very well presented, clean and cosy. The beautiful harbour and coastal path are just a short walk from the front door. If you’re in Cornwall to walk, it’s perfect. The steep hill down to the village could be a challenge for some on the return journey, but we loved it. The garden is really just a stepped terrace but there is a table and chairs and some nice plants in pots. One thing I would like to mention is that the fridge is very compact so please don’t turn up with food for the week for 5 as it just won’t fit in. There’s an additional freezer in the outhouse, but if you like to eat fresh produce and chill drinks then a couple of days supplies is all that will fit in. This shouldn’t put you off as the cottage is lovely and there are also places to eat down by the harbour. Parking was never a problem for us as we have a small car but if you have a very wide car it could be a bit of an issue to park right outside. Please also read the instruction manual so that you know to turn the water and shower on before leaping in expecting hot water

Mrs Harris May 2019

“Location wonderful neighbours really friendly.”

Cottage was the best we have ever stayed in. Beds so comfortable we struggled to get up after beautiful coastal walks. Fabulous cosy cottage to return to. We were so impressed we booked for next year whilst there!

- Mrs Harris, May 2019
Mrs Kirwin May 2019

“Loved the cottage.”

It was tasteful, very comfortable, especially the beds. Nice courtyard garden much appreciated after a day out. Liked Boscastle very much, not too busy but plenty of eating out choices. Very peaceful road outside but parking was a bit awkward. Definitely recommended and would easily return.

“Lovely cottage, beautiful location, perfect”

Mr Ray December 2018

“Heating could have been left on it was v cold on arrival and as storage heaters needed overnight before they were warm”

- Mr Ray, December 2018
Mrs Wilson August 2018

“Dunn cottage is lovely.”

Well equipped, enough room for five of us. Kitchen does not have much storage, but nothing too problematic. V useful having the washer and dryer in the outhouse for sorting towels after the beach . Parking could be a problem but we always found somewhere close by to park. Friendly neighbours. Good exercise walking down to the harbour and back. Tonnes to do nearby. Only recommendation would be for the courtyard and outside area in front of the house to be tidier and weeded, to make the place look smarter. Loved our week there. Lots of happy memories

- Mrs Wilson, August 2018
Mrs Driessen June 2018

“So nice contacts, we had several problems because of the language.”

.. and the helpful holidays peopele were still friedly and brave- thanks a lot!

- Mrs Driessen, June 2018
Mr Wassell May 2018

“The cottage was lovely but needs some work to be perfect.”

The window in the bathroom is rotting for example and could easily fall out.

- Mr Wassell, May 2018
Ms Parker May 2018

“The cottage was comfortable and well equipped.”

Everything looked lovely with nice touches such as welcome tea/coffee, biscuits and dog biscuits. There were lovely cushions and blankets in the lounge and bedrooms. Generally very impressed except for our final night when the neighbours played really loud music until about 4am! Not great when you have to be out by 10am with a long drive to the Midlands.

About the location

BOSCASTLE

Tintagel 4 miles; Camelford 6 miles.

A perfect Cornish coastal village, the road through Boscastle runs down to the small harbour at the bottom of the hill. The quaint village shops, local restaurants and pubs offering good food, Cornish real ales and live entertainment by local musicians, make this an ever popular visitor destination. Spectacular cliff tops, rocky coves, wild surf, open fields and rich wildlife characterise this beautiful area. The coastal footpath passes through some of Britain’s most rugged and spectacular coastal scenery. The sandy beaches of Bossiney, Trebarwith Strand and Crackington Haven are all within 5 miles and the surfing beaches at Bude and Polzeath are within easy driving distance. Close at hand lie the delights of Tintagel, swathed in the legends of King Arthur, several stately homes and renowned gardens, or the wide open space of Bodmin Moor, famous for its granite tors and Daphne Du Maurier’s Jamaica Inn.
