Boswen Cottage - Kitchen Diner

This cottage is part of a small terrace of cottages on the outskirts of the Cornish town of St. Just which, since the demise of the tin-mining industry, has become a lively centre for artists and which has excellent pubs, cafes, shops and galleries.

The cottage is less than one mile from Cape Cornwall and Priests Cove with its swimming pool amongst the rocks, amazing cliffs and coves, the marvellous Cot Valley and the Cornish Coastal Footpath only a few minutes' walk away. Within about five miles is the sandy surfing and swimming beach of Whitsand Bay and Sennen Cove. There is a golf course at Cape Cornwall, with outstanding views.

The Cottage

The cottage offers comfortable accommodation for 4 people, in 2 bedrooms: 1 with king size double and the other with two 3' beds.

Boswen has white painted walls, fitted carpets and quarry tiled floors. The cottage offers the opportunity to have a peaceful yet invigorating holiday in a perfect location for exploring the magnificent landscapes of West Cornwall.

Boswen Cottage - Lounge Boswen Cottage - Double Bedroom

There is a living room with a multi-fuel woodburner installed in the original granite fireplace, with a fully equipped kitchen at one end. A small utility room houses the washing machine.

The cottage has two bedrooms - one double and one with twin beds. Bedding is provided, although we do ask you to bring your own towels.

Outside, there is a small back garden with garden furniture, a barbecue, and sheds to provide storage for bikes, surfboards etc. There is no off-road parking, but cars can be parked a couple of minutes' walk from the cottage or one car can sometimes be parked immediately in front of the cottage if there is space available.

If you are a slightly larger group, we also have another cottage, Trewerry, just 200 yards away, which also sleeps 4 - so ideal for friends / families wishing to holiday together.

The Area

Boswen Cottage is 5 minutes' walk from the Market Square of this most Cornish of small towns, which since the end of tin-mining has become a lively centre for artists and has excellent pubs, cafes, shops and galleries.

St Just is at the very heart of the ancient and mysterious landscape of West Penwith, with its prehistoric structures and standing stones, and the industrial archaeology of several thousand years of tin production. It provides nearly everything you may need for your holiday, with butchers, bakers, supermarkets, greengrocers and excellent eating places. It is a perfect place for walkers, birdwatchers, painters and art lovers, and for all who appreciate the coastline and beaches of West Penwith.

St Ives and the Tate Gallery are 13 miles away, with Penzance, Newlyn and Mousehole all within a few minutes' drive. The Eden Project at St. Austell is within about an hour's drive.

Your dog is welcome at Boswen - a small extra charge is payable for each pet.
