Fantastic location and excellent accommodations

Steve was very helpful and accommodating with some small changes to our booking. The cottage is perfectly positioned next to the harbour for views and daily swimming in the aqua green waters of the harbour. The terrace is great spot to relax, dine and take it all in. We all loved our stay and will return.

This cottage is in a beautiful location and it is very quiet and comfortable. The outside seating is a wonderful bonus and is fairly private. The cottage is very clean and well presented. The beds are comfortable.We were grateful for the milk on arrival but a few tea bags might be nice aswell. We had one towel each so if you needed to dry your hair we had to share ??The kitchen had everything needed and plenty of plates and cutlery. There dishwasher tablets provided for a couple of washes.The WiFi was good and there is a great selection of dvds.

Thanks for taking the time to leave your review and we're very pleased you enjoyed the cottage. Thanks for the towel thought. Our 'standard' is to have a tea towel and hand towel in the kitchen, a hand towel for each sink and one large bath towel per person staying. We've never considered giving two bath towels per person, so that's interesting feedback. Thank you.

Lovely cottage and location

The location was fantastic but what made the stay so special was the little touches, things like telescopes and binoculars to watch the stars, look at the boats and wild birds. Other things like chargers of various types, books and crabbing nets for the kids. All in all an absolutely fabulous place to stay

Beautiful property, thoughtful touches to make the stay easy. Downstairs shower great after the beach. Absolutely amazing location and loads of information in the folder. Very fun jumping off the harbour wall at high tide! Easy check in process and clear instructions re rubbish etc. thank you Steve and Louise!

Enjoyable stay

Very pleased with the property and it's superb location. Weather could have been kinder but we managed to work around it by going to different places doing different things. We enjoyed ourselves every day. We often take a big jigsaw which we like to do together, and we managed to complete it. We have left it in the dining room for others to have a go.

Gull Cottage

Lovely old cottage in the most spectacular harbour in Cornwall. Ideal for walks on a magnificent wild coast, and plenty of beaches nearby for a bucket and spade holiday. We had a slight blip when the key safe refused to open and give us the key, but it was a one off and quickly and professionally dealt with. Been visiting Boscastle a lot over the years and always admired the row of Cottages overlooking the harbour. Finally stayed in one and it fully lived up to expectations, and that's in February!

A beautiful, well-equipped, cosy cottage

Gull cottage is in an outstanding location in Boscastle, one of the prettiest villages in Cornwall. The cottage itself is very well looked after by the owners Steve and Louise. Steve is easily contacted if any problems arise and responds almost immediately. The cottage is like a tardis, much bigger inside than outside.

Wonderful Cottage, Fabulous Hosts

This cottage is beautiful, lovely comfortable furnishings, spotlessly clean and everything you need for a ‘home from home break’. It’s situated right within the harbour and has spectacular views, our family didn’t want to leave. A short 5 minute walk to the shops, restaurants and pub, what more could you want. Steve and Louise are fabulous hosts and made booking and updates/changes a breeze, so very accommodating. A huge thank you to both Steve and Louise for making this holiday one to remember for my very elderly parents, it was much appreciated by all the family. I would really recommend a stay here, especially for the scenery and coastal walks.

Spectacular

Gull Cottage. Just spent a week in this lovely cottage. Well equipped kitchen, for those who love to cook. Very comfy beds. A great feature is the terrace with fantastic views up and down the harbour, with seating where you can watch the world go by. We were blessed with fabulous weather so made good use of this area. Great walks around stunning Boscastle. Would highly recommend this cottage, as would the rest of our party. Four adults altogether.

Perfect

Just spent the Christmas period in Gull Cottage with my family for the second time! Cannot fault the properties’ facilities. We loved it the first time, but this time it had clearly been updated. The space, its cleanliness and comfort was outstanding. Location is perfect, even in the Winter, with plenty of locals walks and village facilities (including pubs) nearby. The communication with Steve was easy and reliable.

Wow

Probably one of the best located cottages in Boscastle. Exceptional views and beautiful finishing touches. Two log burners which throw out enough heat to make you open the windows. Warm and cosy bedrooms once again with stunning views. I kayaked out past the harbour amongst the seals and stunning clasped caves. A must if you have a kayak to bring with you. All in all an amazing week spent in this very special part of Cornwall. Thank you for sharing your home and allowing us to experience the tranquility of Boscastle.

Cosy cottage right next to the tidal river

Historic property bought up to date very sympathetically but still cosy and very comfortable. Kitchen provides all you need to cook beautiful meals and a dining room where you can sit and watch the world go by. The living room also has views across the valley and the main bedroom we stayed in was extremely comfortable, lovely bed. The two bathrooms are very well fitted and a pleasure to use. There was a beautiful little patio garden at the front of the property overlooking the valley and river, as it was Christmas it was a little chilly to sit out but we did enjoy the view when coming and going from the cottage. There are great walks from the property for all abilities whether just down to Boscastle or up over the hills to the coastal path. A wonderful place to stay. Thank you.
