About this property
Country cottage near Boscastle, Situated amid the beautiful Cornish Countryside
Situated in the unspoilt Parish of Treneglos is Higher Scarsick a working Sheep farm which has been farmed by the French Family since the early 1920's. Treneglos is mid way between the towns of Launceston, Bude and Camelford and approx 8.5 miles to Boscastle and Crackington Haven is a delightful place to spend your holiday surrounded by beautiful rolling countryside yet only a short drive to the wonderful sandy beaches on the North Cornwall Coast and very convenient for the variety of tourist attractions and leisure pursuits Cornwall has to offer. The cottage has been renovated over recent years and has retained many original features, including oak beams, stone inglenooks and a bread oven. Each year we take steps to inprove the cottage so that it is cosy and inviting for all seasons. We have refurbished the bathroom and one of the double bedrooms now en suite.The cottage now has 2 showers and 2 toilets as well as a bath. The other double bedroom has a super king size bed (6Ft) Photos will follow when I finish redecorating the bedroom. . Step outside to a large garden where you can hear the birds singing and enjoy the stunning views and if you care to take a short walk down the lane there is a small stream which is particularly beautiful in the spring and autumn.
Please ask for your holiday requirements I do try to accommodate where possible
The cottage is located avoiding the continuing road works on the A30 between Launceston and Bodmin, we are constantly hearing of horrendous traffic delays which is not a good start or end to any holiday.

About the host
Hosted by Heather French
I am a Farmers Daughter and then married into a farming family and I absolutely love living here at Higher Scarsick. Life is busy but the view from my office is constantly changing with the seasons and I can see Dartmoor on the Horizon.
. April Can't wait for Spring and the countryside springing to life again our flock of Poll Dorset Sheep are lambing so it is all go with plenty of lambs to look after The cows are not calving quite so fast but there are still plenty of calves to feed and look after.
It is this time of year that I decide what improvements I make to the holiday cottage and today I have purchased a Super King Size bed (6ft wide) and have also purchased things to redecorate the bedroom before taking delivery in about 6 weeks time hopefully ready for March booking but definitely Easter. I am looking forward to seeing the room change Photos will be posted as soon as it is finished.
