Gull Cottage is a traditional and beautiful Cornish cottage occupying one of the most beautiful locations in the area and is an idyllic place to stay.

It sits in a small row of old cottages directly overlooking Boscastle's beautiful and historic harbour. Fall asleep to the sound of the sea and wake to watch the boats bobbing on the turning tide below. Spend time sitting out and taking in the stunning views of the quay and out to sea or enjoy one of the numerous local restaurants and pubs.

Situated on the south-facing side of the harbour the cottage is easily recognised by its distinctive boat-seat attached to the front of the house (actually it is a full sized boat half buried in the ground) - this is the perfect place to sit and read or simply to watch the world go by!

The cottage is also situated adjacent to the South West Coast path and provides an excellent base for visiting the many and varied attractions and beaches of North Cornwall and beyond.

Once you step through the front door you will find a stylish home with some beautiful and original period features; cosy for 2, but spacious enough for up to 8 people. The living and dining rooms are at the front of the property with stunning views across the harbour, both have the added feature of open fireplaces fitted with wood-burners - the perfect place to spend cosy autumn and winter evenings.

Downstairs you will find a fully fitted and well-equipped kitchen with a dishwasher and a separate utility room with another shower and washing machine. In addition the house has separate heating, providing a comfortable base for stays all year round.

Externally there is parking for 2 cars and a private terrace directly above the harbour from which you can enjoy uninterrupted views of the activities below - you may even catch sight of one of the seals which regularly visit the village.

Upstairs are 4 good sized bedrooms, 3 of which have views across the harbour with the fourth overlooking the old sail lofts to the rear. There is also a stylish bathroom with a bath and separate shower.

Boscastle is a stunning village and is ideally situated for a holiday in Cornwall with a large number of attractions only a short drive away. However there is much to see and enjoy in the village, which in addition to its local shops has a number of good restaurants and traditional Cornish pubs for you to enjoy.

The cottage itself is adjacent to the South West Coastal Path and so many beautiful walks can be taken from the front door, whether they be north along the coast towards the beautiful beach 'Strangles' or south towards Tintagel, the fabled home of King Arthur and his Round Table.

If you want to take in some of the many stunning beaches in North Cornwall there are a number of the best surfing beaches within a 15 minute drive, including Bossiney, Crackington Haven and Widemouth Bay.
