“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

“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.

“Exceeded our expectations”

Very comfortable overall, well equipped and maintained. Nicer than it looked in the pictures with everything you need. Handy for the town. The parking is on -street, just up the hill.

“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.

“Peaceful week in a lovely cottage”

This cottage was absolutely perfect for us. The first part of the week we had our adult daughter and her boyfriend with us and the a few days with just the two of us. There was plenty of space, although like most cottages it's not ideal for someone who's very tall - the boyfriend knocked his head a couple of times! Beautiful furnishings and very well equipped with a perfect sun trap courtyard garden. A lovely village with some great places to eat and a few shops, including a good sized Spar. Boscastle is on the coastal path so very handy for those of us who love walking. Two notes of caution though: firstly, although parking is possible in the lane, it is not easy and those with larger cars than our Golf need to have a calm nature to negotiate the tight spaces. Secondly, it's probably not a great spot for someone with mobility issues as the cottage is on a steep hill - the village is at the bottom and the main road at the top. This did not detract from our wonderful week in this perfect cottage but is worth being aware of.

“Country charm”

Lovely cornish cottage tucked away in uphill Boscastle. Its located in upper Boscastle, so be prepared for the uphill walk to the pub, and also from the village, but as we didn't come to drive, we didn't mind this whatsoever. We really enjoyed our stay in lovely Cornwall, and Dunn Cottage provided all we needed, with a traiditonal kitchen, spacious diner with ample seating, and all the crockery and cutlery you would ever need. Rooms were light and airy, and very spacious. The outside space was a bonus, and its nice to chill outside when the sun was shining. I would say parking could be an issue, but we managed to get parked outside every day, and we also noticed that there was some road parking at the top of the hill near the hotel that could be used if you had friends visiting like we did. If you have time, visit the pottery shop in Boscastle, and also the farm shop on the outskirts of the village. One thing we would mention is that Dunn Cottage does itself a disservice my not mentioning some things it has in its booklet. We discovered an outside toilet, and also, on our last day we found a chest full of games in the lounge! Maybe the guest guide needs updating, but this is a very minor point. Thanks Dunn Cottage and Helpful Holidays!

“Exceeded all our expectations for comfort and charm”

As two friends from across the globe, meeting up for a Cornwall holiday, we couldn't have chosen a better location. We each enjoyed our own bedrooms - spacious and comfortable - with another to spare. The kitchen was charming and extremely well appointed for our own cooking ventures, as was the dining room, accessorized with attractive dinner sets and cutlery. Every room was a delight and the outdoor terrace an added bonus for eating alfresco. The cottage was in walking distance to the town for restaurants and intriguing shops. A maintenance issue was settled quickly when a repairman was dispatched to the property promptly. The only difficulty was in finding a parking location for our car close to the cottage. I would recommend this property highly and would return again.

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.
