Lovely personal touches by the Host on arrival, a lovely cream tea, also some fresh Milk for a much needed Brew. Everywhere was spotless, in the well fitted out cottage with everything you could need, complete with dishwasher. The perfect location for exploring Cornwall, with Wadebridge & Padstow, and the coast only a short drive away, also with easy access to the A30 for heading further down Cornwall.

We had an amazing time at Bosneives Cottages. The cottage is well equipped and very beautiful. There are a few other cottages on the grounds, but it was quiet throughout. If you need anything, you can just call on the host family who are very responsive. We took in a lot of this beautiful part of Cornwall. Bodmin Moor, Jamaica Inn (with the Daphne du Maurier rooms and smugglers'museum), Lanhydrock estate, Wadebridge and stone circles (there is actually one very close to the cottage. From the cottage you can easily walk to Withiel, which has a lovely church and old graveyard.

So Welcoming

We walked in and looked at each room and my wife exclaimed 'I LOVE it'. There were fresh scones with jam and clotted cream for us to eat, which was delicious. There was also food to feed the farm animals, which we enjoyed. My wife is still giggling about the instructions for feeding the pig. Everything was clean and there was plenty of room. We were able to do laundry, which was a bonus. Great stay.

Lovely one bedroom barn conversion

We enjoyed staying at the property which was ideally placed for travel to both coasts in north Cornwall although the first few miles can be challenging if you're not used to narrow lanes/roads. Property itself was well maintained and well equipped for our needs and if we returned to this area of Cornwall we'd consider it again

The Quiet Life

Clean tasteful barn conversion, pretty much in the middle of nowhere, but all you require within a 15 min drive.A great personal touch from the owners, which included a handful of food bags to feed their animals. What's not to love. Deffo returning at some stage and will be pointing all friends and relatives in this direction

Beautiful cottage in the middle of Cornwall surrounded by beautiful countryside. Everything you could possibly need to be comfortable. Car absolutely essential to get to many of the places one would like to visit in that part of Cornwall, e.g. the Eden Project and the Lost Gardens of Heligan, Padstow, etc. Narrow lanes to drive to get anywhere but in September, not much traffic on the road, so it was okay. Food access - supermarket or restaurants not close, so plan well. Great place for a few days of rest and relaxation.

Nice, relaxing cottage

Very clean, comfortable, well-equipped cottage, traditional style with mod cons. Loved Ponk and Donk and the goats. The cottage is well located for North and South touristy stuff but the very narrow lanes are not for the faint-hearted. The wifi is quite slow but it won't spoil your stay when you come back to your calm retreat for a nice cold one from the fridge !

Top notch peaceful stay.

Beautiful, well equipped cottage in a very peaceful location. It was a lovely touch to be left milk and a cream tea (scones, clotted cream & jam). Charles has just had an electric vehicle charger installed so it removed a tonne of stress for us to be able to charge my car whilst at the cottage. Overall, a fantastic stay. I cannot think of an area of improvement.

What a beautiful place to stay! Peaceful, lovely views, good location to visit many areas of interest. The friendly donkeys and goats are a bonus for animal lovers and the noisy pigs are fun to feed. Our stay was enjoyable as the cottage has a well equipped kitchen with a cream tea on arrival and tea coffee etc so you can have a brew. Comfy, cosy bed with a wonderful view over fields. Hosts Charmion and Charles are superb! Friendly knowledgeable and nothing is too much trouble. We would highly recommend a stay here. Our

Gorgeous little cozy cottage.

Just returned from a week at this cottage. It certainly has the wow factor when you walk through the door. Beautiful open plan wooden stairs and beams in the bedrooms. It was exceptionally clean and I'm a bit of a fusspot. Beautiful bedroom and I would love to know the type of mattress as we both had the best nights sleep in ages. Bedding was lovely too. Bathroom gorgeous and it was great to be able to have a relaxing soak at the end of the day. It is a little remote but if you want to just get away from it all I would highly recommend this little hideaway.

Peaceful

What a lovely place to stay. We stayed in the cottage for 2 beautiful kitchen and sitting room with everything you need tv with dvd player ( great for those rainy days selection of dvd there) kitchen has everything you even a dishwasher and washing machine. Lovely courtyard and picnic area it is shared but with only 3 cottage there you still get your own privacy. Bedroom is beautiful with stone walls and beams. It use to be the old stables. And of course the pigs donkey's and goats are great fun the owners leave food for them so if you like to feed them. Charmion and charles the owners live on site and are very welcoming and always on hand if you need them but are very respectful of your privacy. We look are harley davidson down and were able to park it right out side the cottage which my husband was very pleased with but there is ample of parking. It is very quite there and the nearest shop is 6 miles away so good idea to get in the basics , you know like alcohol 😄 and sit in the courtyard and enjoy 🍹. What a lovely peaceful relaxing place will definitely be going back. Thank you charmion and charles you have a beautiful place.
