“Fabulous little cottage, local wine and biscuits on arrival, very clean and generously equipped kitchen, open fire with wood provided.”

Lots of useful local informal provided also. Great location and a massive bonus for us was the garden terrace as the weather was gorgeous so enjoyed morning coffee and evening drink there. So many great places to eat within walking distance, from quaint cafes to a Michelin star restaurant, the cobweb pub was the winner for us! Bus stop also close by to Tintagel and beyond and wonderful cliff top walks. We’ll Be back !!

“We love the cottage it’s was well maintained and in a perfect position.”

Only draw back was car parked across entrance to the row of houses. Which appeared to be there for a couple of days making it difficult when we and other people leaving had to reverse back down the road!

- Andrew, September 2024
Helen August 2024

“Cobble Cottage is a lovely place and perfect for myself and two daughters.”

The location couldn't be better. The house is well equipped with everything you could need. Just needs a few things fixing. The peely paint in the kitchen isn't great when you find it in your cereal bowl and on the plates ( stored on the shelf by the peely paint). The door to the little bedroom kept getting stuck and needed a good shove to open it. We left it open in the end in case one of us got trapped in there. Also, the mattress in that room is really hard. My girls took it in turn to sleep on it so someone didn't have the uncomfortable bed all week. Saying, that it is a great cottage and we would stay there again.

Linda June 2024

“We absolutely loved our stay at Cobble Cottage, its position was wonderful, we felt very at home in the house and we were very pleased with the cleanliness of the house, the beds were extremely comfortable.”

Boscastle is a very special place and our 3 year old granddaughter loved it her favourite thing who’s to go down to the harbour every night. Thank you

Patrick April 2024

“Cottage had real Cornish charm which was just what we were looking for.”

Spotlessly clean, very comfortable and in an excellent location. Will definitely come back if we have the opportunity

“Elements are tired.”

Especially lounge furniture. Needs hand rails on stairs in house and back garden steps up to terrace. However we still love this house and can’t wait to visit again!

- Colin, March 2024

Thanks for the feedback. For clarity for other guests, there is a handrail all the way up the stairs inside the house on one side. 2 of the 3 flights of steps to the garden have a handrail. The final flight of steps does not have a handrail but you can hold the edge of our patio as you are climbing. There isn't an easy way to add a rail here but we will bear it in mind and consider it for future improvements. Property Owner

“Beautiful cottage might even say one of the best ones in the village, right in ...”

Beautiful cottage might even say one of the best ones in the village, right in the middle of the village you have shops,pubs all around and even breakfast in the little cafe less than 30seconds walk and the best cakes wow, very cheap too, the food places are expensive but worth it and if you drive to widemouth Manor try the carvery you won't regret it and if you book around 7ish you will see the sun set beautiful

Tania June 2023

“Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Cobble Cottage.”

It was very homely and an excellent location. It was a lovely touch leaving the gifts of Cornish wine and shortbread - we really enjoyed them both - thank you. We would stay again.

- Tania, June 2023

- Patricia, May 2023
Chris May 2023

“A fantastic cottage in a wonderful location.”

The personalised welcome pack was a lovely surprise, as was the views from the roof top terrace. My children have been constantly asking to go back since our stay!

- Chris, May 2023
Adam April 2023

“Cobble Cottage was exactly what I had in mind when I was tasked with organising a long weekend in Cornwall for my parents, partner and myself.”

The cottage itself had all the charm and character you’d want, plus a nice kitchen, living space and two reasonable doubles and a single. The added bonus of being in the heart of the village - with pubs and restaurants and access to the coastal walks - was just perfect. We did not have to leave the village of an evening, so we could relax and all have a drink. Thanks for hosting us!

- Adam, April 2023
Melanie March 2023

“Loved the cottage.”

Very cosy and comfortable. I would love to come back! Great position in Boscastle and very convenient for fabulous walks. It was very easy to get a weekly car parking ticket.

- Melanie, March 2023
Christine February 2023

“Absolutely loved Cobble Cottage, we had a very relaxing week.”

The cottage is very homely with everything we needed to hand. All the personal touches, fresh flowers, milk in the fridge, local wine, biscuits, made us feel so welcome. It was so cosy with the fire lit in the evenings. We love Boscastle & had a fabulous stay, have already re-booked for next year.

- Christine, February 2023
Dave September 2022

“Excellent week in Cobble Cottage, second holiday this year there.”

A really comfortable cottage, cosy and clean. A great location in sleepy Boscastle with good food in nearby Cob and Riverside, plus the bakers across the way for pastries and bread in the morning, and without fail a visit to Jamaica Inn further on the Moor. Lovely welcome gifts which were much appreciated after the journey down, thank you! We visited loads of places while there including Tintagel (King Arthur's Halls and Old Post Office), Bude, Crackington Haven, Wheal Martyn, Bodmin Gail, St Nectans Glen, Museum of Witchcraft and Magic, Vale of Avalon, Jamaica Inn, among others. We will return hopefully next year! Dave Ely

- Dave, September 2022
Clemmie August 2022

“This was an absolute gem in the hot weather - so cool.”

Nice and central! Surely the loveliest cottage in Boscastle. Very well equipped. A washing line across the top of the garden would be really very useful - maybe one you can pull out from one of the fence posts. I’d also suggest bolting the bedside tables to the wall in the front bedroom as they can easily tip over due to uneven floor as you expect in an old cottage.

- Clemmie, August 2022
Colin July 2022

“Love the house having stayed many times.”

Starting to feel a bit tired and in need of tlc. Shower scalding or cold with no real in between. However love Cobble Cottage and can’t wait return.

- Colin, July 2022

Thanks for reporting the shower issue - we replaced the shower in July. Property Owner
Denise June 2022

“A lovely cottage which is very well equipped, clean and comfortable.”

We particularly liked sitting on the terrace (between showers!) looking out at the activity in the village down below. Although the cottage is quietly situated it is very convenient to nip out to the shops or a walk down to the harbour. Parking in the public car park was no trouble either. Unfortunately the weather turned very cold for the end of June and we were glad of the logs for the fire. The only slight negative to our stay was trying to work out how to turn on the heating. We had to give up in the end! Would recommend more detailed instructions to use the night storage heating. Would stay here again.

- Denise, June 2022
Wayne June 2022

“Fully equipped cottage with all the amenities set in a wonderful pictures location.”

The cottage felt homely from the moment we arrived till the moment we left. The small welcome basket was a nice touch along with the welcome note from Isla. Would highly recommend a stay here if you are looking for peace and tranquillity that is great base to explore the north coast or Cornwall.

- Wayne, June 2022
Andrew March 2022

“7th time at Cobble and we still love it.”

A lovely open fire with a glass of wine or three at the end of the day is bliss. We`ll be back again soon.

- Andrew, March 2022
Kate February 2022

“I cannot count the number of times we have returned to Cobble Cottage.”

The most beautiful place on earth

- Kate, February 2022
Michael January 2022

“We had an amazing and relaxing time and the cottage was perfect…can’t beat sitting in front of the fire on a cold January evening.”

Naturally given it was January not much was open in the village but that added to the charm as it was so quiet it slowed life right down, no easy thing with 3 boys aged 6 and under with us!

- Michael, January 2022
Laetitia December 2021

“What an amazing place to stay , we will definitely come back .”

It is clean , cosy and super well equipped for cooking . This place has been done with care and attention . The pictures do not so justice as the kitchen has been redone and looks even better now! Thank you so much for a fabulous holiday .

- Laetitia, December 2021
Rebecca December 2021

“Beautiful from the moment we walked in.”

Flowers on the kitchen counter, plenty of wood and kindling for first couple of nights. Bed very comfy. Just a really gorgeous cottage that we love staying at. So many happy memories, we can’t wait to come back!

- Rebecca, December 2021
Dawn November 2021

“Have stayed there before, they have made changes to the kitchen for the better, but would prefer the large fridge to be located against the back wall rather than in the against the main wall.”

Would also benefit from some small steps as much of the top shelf is difficult to reach if not that tall. Will book again as love the place.

- Dawn, November 2021
Andrew November 2021

“Before our review of the property: The access to the property, as stated by Sykes, is a parking spot for another cottage; this spot is usually populated.”

If you have a small car, you "may" just get past to reach the cottage as guided by Sykes. If you can`t, you will have to drive down the road towards the National Trust shop then turn right (and it`s a bit of a nightmare reversing back down). This is our 3rd time at Cobble Cottage, and we have loved it. There have been a few changes since our last visit before the pandemic started; I think these are detrimental to the character of the cottage, but my partner thinks they are for the better. One change we both agree on is the garishly red fridge / freezer; it looks completely out of place. Cobble is a lovely cottage and we both thoroughly recommend it as a base to visit Boscastle and further. There is a lovely, and large, open fire for which we take a mixture of coal and wood; giving a lovely focal point while we relax with a nice glass of wine in the evenings.

- Andrew, November 2021
Sarah October 2021

“Loved it. Hope to come back next year.”

- Sarah, October 2021
Colin October 2021

“Great cottage and fifth time of staying.”

Will definitely come back. Lots of wear and tear issues such as stains on lounge ceiling where plumbing leaks from the bathroom have been an issue. Many lightbulbs not working and so forth but really appreciated the extras such as wine etc. We had a great week’s break.

- Colin, October 2021
Stephen September 2021

“A charming old cottage right in the centre, lots of history and beautiful scenery.”

The property has been cleverly renovated and is well equipped. The carpets and rugs need more thorough cleaning and the settee and armchair is rather soiled and saggy. No doubt the owners will replace this for next year. We had a lovely week, enjoyed exploring the village shops and the many coast path walks. The car park was very close, convenient and reasonably priced. The location was great for visiting several other beautiful places.

- Stephen, September 2021
Kate August 2021

“As always a lovely stay in the most idyllic location.”

Can’t wait to come back x

“Fantastic cottage that exceeded expectations.”

Reassuring reminders from Sykes and user-friendly app.

Deborah August 2021

“This is a great little cottage in a brilliant location.”

The cottage is very clean and has everything you need for a great holiday. The welcome pack of wine , biscuits and fresh milk was a really nice touch. I highly recommend this cottage for anyone wanting to explore the North West Cornwall coast . We had a fantastic family holiday with our two boys nine and 13 .

- Deborah, August 2021
Michael June 2021

“Great cottage in a great location in Boscastle and was the perfect size for my wife and I.”

The cottage also benefits from a lovely outside space where we spent most late afternoons sitting in the sun.

- Michael, June 2021
Richard May 2021

“Lovely idyllic cottage in very scenic part of Cornwall.”

Good communication throughout and House-keeper and Owner were brilliant to deal with too when we had a problem. Thoroughly recommend the cottage and location, it is actually better than the pictures show and outdoor seating area was a bonus and a favourite spot of ours!

- Richard, May 2021
John May 2021

“A comfortable cottage in a great location.”

- John, May 2021
Tom April 2021

“Cobble cottage is bang in the centre of Boscastle harbour and is just delightful.”

The new kitchen is great and this small cottage has got everything you need to explore all of the wonderful local sights that are right on your doorstep.

- Tom, April 2021
Nicola October 2020

“We had a lovely stay at Cobble Cottage during a wet and windy half term week.”

It's perfectly located to explore the stunning coastline, and the cottage itself was warm, comfortable and situated right in the center of the beautiful Boscastle, a stones throw from some lovely eating places. We would definitely return.

- Nicola, October 2020
Tom October 2020

“Hi there I would like to say what a great holiday and a good break that I have had in Cobble Cottage- Boscastle and it was very warm and cozy And a beautiful garden and and I did a deep clean before I left and locked up and before I departed Boscastle.”

Thank you very much And definitely I will stay at Cobble Cottage again Mr Tom Pugh

Andrew September 2019

“Cobble Cottage is a delightful cottage situated in the equally delightful and beautiful Boscastle.”

We`ve just had a very enjoyable week in Cobble Cottage and Boscastle, and we will return in the very near future.

- Andrew, September 2019
Emily April 2019

“This is our third time visiting Cobble Cottage.”

It is perfect for our family holiday in Boscastle. The cottage is cosy and welcoming and clean with everything that you need catered for. The location is right in the heart of Boscastle and ideal for exploring the village, coastal walks and North Cornwall. We have only got back yesterday and just booked in for our holiday in Cobble Cottage again next year.

- Emily, April 2019
Kate February 2019

“We have been coming to cobble cottage for years.”

It’s such a great place and we are so lucky to have so many happy memories there.

- Kate, February 2019
Sue October 2018

“Cobble cottage is situated in the heart of Boscastle down a narrow cobbled street close to The Cobweb and Wellington pubs.”

The cottage is bright and spacious with everything you would expect. The garden is a bonus and a real sun trap. The Boscastle farm shop is a couple of miles away (A lovely walk along cliff path) which serves great good and where you can pick up supplies

- Sue, October 2018
Janet September 2018

“We had a great week at Cobble Cottage and it was clean and comfortable.”

We had an issue with the washing machine which was sorted very quickly by the housekeeper. The TVs instructions were poor but sorted by a local expert most helpfully, again organised by the very pleasant housekeeper. It was lovely to have a bottle of local wine and milk when we arrived. The paperwork giving us information about visits etc was very useful.

- Janet, September 2018
Andrew July 2018

“The high chair I ordered was not provided and the housekeeper was unable to supply one so we had to buy one.”

I think we should have been made aware that the cottage wasn't really suitable for families with young children. Having to pay an extra £100 for parking was a bit of a shock. The house could have been cleaner and supplies (ie. spare tea towels, dishcloths, toilet paper etc.) easier to find. Sykes are very unpersonal and obviously don't communicate with the housekeeper. The promised fresh linen for the second week was not provided. The location is wonderful and the cottage charming but I don't think we got value for money.

- Andrew, July 2018
Helen June 2018

“The cottage and location were brilliant!”

Few issues, carpets upstairs need updating very stained and dirty looking. Shower not powerful at all. It was clean but could have been cleaner. Towels were very hard and scratchy. Washing machine broke, oven didn’t work properly and toaster. Didn’t ruin our time there have fallen in love with Boscastle.

- Helen, June 2018
Sally September 2017

“I HAVE STAYED IN MANY COATTEAGES IN BOSCASTLE OVER THE YEARS .”

I WILL CERTAINLY STAY IN THIS ONE AGAIN . IF THERE WAS A LITTLE MORE STORAGE SPACE IN THE BEDROOMS THIS WOULD BE PERFECT .
