Little Seaward, Boscastle welcomes you into an open-plan kitchen and living space designed with contemporary comfort and rustic charm in mind. Enjoy your morning coffee at the stylish breakfast bar, brewed on the Nespresso machine, while gazing out over rolling countryside. The adjoining lounge area offers plush modern furnishings, a Smart TV, and plenty of room to stretch out after a day of coastal exploring, with large windows framing ever-changing views of the surrounding farmland.
Outside, the garden unfolds across two distinct seating areas: one perched to catch long views down the valley and out to sea, ideal for sunset suppers from the barbecue, and a second, more sheltered spot for quieter moments. The king-size bedroom is a peaceful retreat, dressed in soft linens and furnished with its own Smart TV, while the en-suite shower room offers a touch of indulgent comfort. Off-road parking for up to two cars sits conveniently close to the cottage door.
Picture evenings spent on the valley-view terrace, glass in hand, watching the sun slip into the Atlantic beyond Boscastle's cliffs. Days might begin with a stroll to the famous harbour and a browse of the Museum of Witchcraft and Magic, before returning to fire up the barbecue as the farm falls quiet around you. Here, amid birdsong and sea air, time slows and simple pleasures take centre stage.
