“Lovely cottage.”

We particularly appreciated being to keep the cottage warm throughout.

We particularly appreciated being to keep the cottage warm throughout. Excellent walks from the door. A highlight was spotting a short-eared owl nearby. Away from the tourist routes,lovely and quiet with lots of archaelogy and beautiful beaches nearby.

“Very well equipped and cosy cottage with excellent views across the surrounding area and out over Mounts bay.”

The cottage was nice and clean upon arrival. Also the owner popped by in the week to check all was well as well as leaving a cream tea and fruit upon arrival to the cottage. Finally it was nice to have a washing machine in the boiler room to use during the week.

“Loved our recent stay.”

Boars House was beautiful and in such a lovely location. It's so peaceful and relaxing. A gorgeous cream tea was waiting for us on arrival along with fresh flowers and fruit which were such lovely touches. We met the owner Mike who was able to offer us local knowledge. Would definitely recommend however your own transport is needed.

“Absolutely loved our fortnight at The Boar's House, Tredinnack, The cottage is very well equipped with everything you could ask for, and beautifully furnished.”

The owners' care and attention is there in every detail - the cream tea on arrival, the tiny vases of fresh flowers in every room, thoughtful selection of guides and leaflets to help make the most of the area and the personal contact - Mike dropped by a couple of times to make sure everything was OK and to advise when laundry would be changed and gardens attended to. He also gave us good tips for local walks, direct from the cottage. The location is breathtaking; distant views of Mounts Bay, moorlands and tin mines abound, many Bronze Age and Neolithic sites. Easy to reach both the North Atlantic coast - St Ives, SW Coast Path Zennor to Gurnard's Head and the South - Newlyn, Mousehole and Minack in one direction and Penzance, Marazion (St Michael's Mount) and Porthleven in the other. Great variety and choice of restaurants to be enjoyed. Totally exceeded our expectations.

“The Boar’s House is a cottage to be returned to time and time again!”

Our second visit was equally as good, if not better than the first and we look forward to returning another year. The tranquility of the location is astounding and well worth the 8 hour drive to get there! The cottage is very well laid out and equipped and the owners have considered everything.

- Katy, August 2019
Tracey August 2019

“Boars House Penzance is a beautiful peaceful cottage surrounded by amazing scenery.”

Close enough to all major villages and attractions, you may want to visit. Everything required to make the cottage a home from home is included. It’s a lovely peaceful place to return to after a full day of visiting, swimming, surfing, walking, paddling, eating and drinking etc etc. The owners left a cream tea, elderflower drink & flowers for our arrival, which was greatly appreciated. Would highly recommend you book.

- Tracey, August 2019
Emma July 2019

“Boar's House is a lovely little cottage, well equipped and comfortable and I think even better in real life than in the photos.”

It is in a very quiet, rural location with fantastic views across the countryside to the sea and St Michael's Mount. It's in a great location to explore Cornwall from, being close to St Ives, Penzance and lots of wonderful beaches. On arrival, we were greeted with a delicious cream tea left by the owners, as well as a bowl of fresh fruit and bottle of juice. Would definitely recommend and would also consider a return visit.

- Emma, July 2019

Elizabeth July 2018

“The best cottage we have ever rented.”

Wonderful view to St Michaels Mount over farmland. Close to Ding Dong Mill ruins do steeped in history. Friendly but never intrusive farmer / owner. Many extra and unexpected little extras including a cream tea waiting us on arrival, fresh flowers and a bowl of fruit. A real rural escape but near to all the must do places in West Cornwall.

- Elizabeth, July 2018
Martin June 2018

“The cottage was lovely: a beautiful quiet location, utterly peaceful, and 30 minutes bike ride from the lovely rugged North Cornwall coastline.”

Very nicely decorated and all provided for. And a very kind owner who even offered to pick me and my bicycle up from the station in his pick-up, as it was raining. Much enjoyed being there and hope to go back sometime.

- Martin, June 2018
Sue June 2018

“The cottage was lovely and we loved the location.”

The peace was beautiful. Mr Williams was v. friendly and we had a good chat with him. However, as the cottage is fairly off the beaten track we thought it would be hepful to have a sign (stating the name of the cottage) which can be seen from the road. (ie at the end of the drive instead of halfway down). Although we were using sat.nav. we lost our signal near to the cottage and drove past twice! Also, a night light (so as not too bright to keep you awake) would be useful to light the staircase as the toilet is downstairs and is a bit tricky going downstairs in the middle of the night. We are at that age! We would definitely visit again.

- Sue, June 2018
Geoffrey May 2018

“Extremely quiet & peaceful - a real chance to relax and unwind.”

Owner very friendly and thoughtful. Flowers, a cream tea and a bottle of locally produced apple juice to welcome you.

- Geoffrey, May 2018
Brenda March 2018

“This was our 10th stay at The Boar’s House, which speaks for itself!”

Mr Williams and family couldn’t be more helpful. The little stone cottage has been fitted out to an acceptably high standard. The situation is secluded with wonderful views.

The property

Found down narrow winding lanes in the peace and tranquillity of the countryside three miles from Penzance and seven from St Ives, the delightfully named mining region of Ding Dong is an area of moorland steeped in ancient history with mystic Neolithic sites and old mining relics that echo Cornwall's past.

Set in south facing gardens with views extending out over the landscape to St Michael's Mount and the Lizard Peninsula on a clear day, The Boar's House is a romantic escape from the rigours of every day.

Painstakingly restored from a run down and neglected stone barn, an internal inspection will reveal many original features carefully integrated with the trappings of modern day.

Rustic slate with oil fired under floor heating extends into a lounge with French doors leading out to the garden and furnished with a comfortable blue suite, and on into a kitchen fitted with cream Shaker cabinets with solid beech worktops and a Belfast sink.

Upstairs the double bedroom is full of character.

Capturing the sun for most of the day the garden is a sylvan oasis in which to let time drift by whether with a leisurely breakfast or toasting the sunset at the end of the day. Peaceful rambles will give an opportunity to witness nature at its best and although you are unlikely to meet a boar, quiet paths lead out over a rugged terrain amongst heather and moorland flowers, whilst buzzards and kestrels soar effortlessly in the sky above.

Superb walking and riding country, facilities are available nearby for anyone wishing to bring their own horse.

This is a wonderful area to explore without being remote.

Penzance, Marazion and the superb white sand beaches of St Ives are not far away.

There is parking for two cars on a gravel area just behind the property.

About the location

PENZANCE

St Ives 8 miles. Helicopter to Isles of Scilly - 30 minutes

Penzance hosts Golowan, the Midsummer Carnival, and The Literary Festival. There are also The Exchange, Newlyn and Penlee Art Galleries. One of Cornwall’s most popular holiday areas is the spectacular sweep of Mount’s Bay, from the cliffside fishing village of Mousehole through Penzance and around to beautiful Marazion, the coastline hides a wealth of sandy beaches, rocky coves as well as winding village streets and other places to visit and explore. Connected by a causeway to the shore at Marazion is the National Trust’s stunningly beautiful St Michael’s Mount with its hilltop castle and Mediterranean gardens. Walk across at low water and take one of the ferry boats back when the tide is up. Penzance with its winding streets, shops, clubs, restaurants and harbour is a must as it is the jumping-off point for day trips to the Isles of Scilly as well as being the harbor. The South West Coast Path passing through Penzance winds its way along the clifftops towards Land’s End. On the way, stop off for a coffee and a rest at beautiful Lamorna Cove, explore the open air Minack Theatre and marvel at the cliffs as you approach Gwennap Head. A stunning walk for those seeking solitude, exercise and some of the UK’s best coastal scenery. Penzance is the perfect holiday base. Ideally placed for exploring this land of Celtic myth and legend and with enough to do and see in the immediate area to keep all the family occupied.
