Boscastle Elm Cottage

Boscastle, Cornwall

Boscastle Elm Cottage is a rare example of an unspoilt 17th century cottage, carefully refurbished to retain its rustic charm. Inside you’ll find original features such as slate flags, low beamed ceilings and doorways, and differing floor levels. These features, together with its cosy wood burner make the cottage a special place to stay. Refresh the soul with sounds of the river and wildlife

It nestles in a leafy seclusion in the wooded Valency Valley, and just metres from the river’s edge. Explore this hidden corner of Cornwall, with its rich, oak woodland and the forgotten churches of Minster and St Juliots. Follow the river a mile downstream to one of the most beautiful and unspoilt villages in Cornwall, Boscastle. Here you’ll find quaint stone-built cottages, traditional pubs, shops, art galleries, tearooms and an Elizabethan quay.

A short drive away is the historic village of Tintagel, a place which will forever be connected to the legend of King Arthur. Be sure to visit Tintagel Old Post Office with a complimentary entry for guests. For a traditional fishing village, drive 30 minutes east to Port Isaac. Or for one of the best surfing beaches for beginners on the north coast, drive a little further to Polzeath.
