About this property
This captivating cottage, Fairfield Cottage, is adorably rustic with coastal charm and country character, sitting in the delightful village of Boscastle - just a short walk from the beautifully dramatic north Cornish coast. Set over two floors and brimming with characterful features including exposed stone walls, wooden beams and traditional slate floors, this is the ideal dwelling for a family of six. The welcoming sitting room makes a charming nook of plush sofas with a woodburning stove to snuggle up to. The kitchen/diner is welcoming with a big rustic table to gather around for that impossible-to-resist cream tea. The country-chic bedrooms are great spots to retreat to, offering a king-size, double and twin; a bathroom can also be found nearby, along with a handy ground-floor shower room that offers laundry facilities too! The pretty rear garden is reached by some steps, with a patio acting as a sunspot and lawn with distant sea views. Embark on a leisurely stroll downhill to Boscastle's picturesque harbour discovering the museum, pottery shop, galleries, pubs and eateries on the way to the headland. Crackington Haven is just a few miles away, with a cove of pebbles and rock pools - an almost hidden gem ideal for picnics, paddles or riding the surf. Tintagel, a short drive away, hosts the legendary King Arthur's Castle and there are stunning beaches and little fishing coves dotted around the shoreline. Port Isaac is picture-perfect and the colourful seaside resort of Bude is just moments away. This Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty is a paradise for walkers, cyclists and wildlife enthusiasts with scenic coastal footpaths and woodland valley trails. A perfect cottage for those wanting to be near the north Cornish coast.
This marvellous village, Boscastle, is known for its access to a quaint harbour and providing guests with shops, eateries and attractions along North Cornwall's coast. A walker's haven, the village rests next to the coastal walk that runs through some of the most challenging and magnificent coastal terrain in the United Kingdom. Within a few miles, you'll find the beaches of Bossiney, Trebarwith Strand, Crackington Haven and many more gorgeous sands.

Boscastle was extremely pretty and the cottage was absolutely beautiful!! We took our dog on her first holiday and the garden was amazing and very safe. The cottage itself was beautifully decorated and very well presented. It really was home from home. Just up the road is a pub called the Napoleon and we had a really lovely meal in there so would highly recommend. There are 2 convenience stores, 1 up the top of the hill and one in the village down the hill, both were well stocked. I felt the cottage was in a great location, yes itâs a drive out to visit different places but they were never too far and the drive looking at the countryside was a pleasure in itself. We visited Bude, Port Issac, Padstow, Daymer Bay, Rock and many more!!! Everywhere we went was really dog friendly especially Daymer Bay, the dogs are allowed off leads and could enjoy their freedom. If there was a negative it might be the parking? It is off street but extremely tight, however with a little bit of skill & patience my husband perfected the parking by the 2nd day!! We however have a Golf and anything bigger would definitely struggle. There is parking to the front (which is where my daughter parked) but at times this was extremely busy? All in all it really was a perfect holiday. Thanks again for allowing us to use your beautiful home.

The garden was also nice with 3 areas enabling the sun at all times of the day. We found access to the parking area difficult with the size of our car but managed to park on the roadside outside. Although a steep hill great to be able to walk to the harbour, pubs and shops without using the car. Our only concern was the broken boiler and water for showering although managing with the immersion heater and staggering showers between us. The owner was very concerned and kind regarding this problem however. A great holiday overall and we will return. Thanks.
