This historic character cottage in picturesque Boscastle sleeps up to four people in two bedrooms.

Jordan House, a stylish semi-detached family home in the heart of the picturesque village of Boscastle.

Entering on the ground floor, the smart Shaker-style kitchen/dining room has a large pine table and chairs. The living room has big sofas and an open fire. From the hall, stairs lead to two bedrooms – a double with TV, and a twin, both with views over the courtyard garden and the surrounding hills.

From Jordan House, the historic harbour, Museum of Witchcraft and many interesting local potteries and art galleries are in walking distance.
