Review of cottage: Sent: August 25, 2007 Dear Micheline, Many thanks for making our holiday in Cornwall memorable. Your cottage is fabulous and I will keep your email address on file for the next time we come to Cornwall. We loved everything about our holiday despite the weather the first week and the M5 shutting down and the children think it is far better than going abroad. As for the cottage it is a charming dream of a place. Hope you have many happy years there. (My reply: Yes, we have had 30 very happy years of going to the cottage!)

Great little cottage

Mad dog London
Review Submitted: June 19, 2008 Date of Stay: April 2008
Very accessible to stunning coastal walks and beaches to discover. Only draw back is some of the village looks like a council estate.
Owner's Response: Future renters: We agree with this review but would like to say that the council estate looking part of the village is the upper part of Boscaswell and not seen at all from the cottage in Lower Boscaswell which are mostly 200+ old cottages like ours as you can see in the photos or newer bungalows with the required granite stones on the exterior.

We've owned the cottage for 30 years now and would never part with it!

A great cottage, and a great week! We had never been to Cornwall, but now we do plan to come back. The cottage itself is perfect, it has everything a holiday house should have, the neighbours are very friendly and welcoming, and we spent a wonderful week.
