Description

A traditional cosy cottage in an area of Outstanding Natural beauty, Mariner’s Cottage is in a very quiet location only 200 yards from the heart of Boscastle and its spectacular harbour, which is surrounded by picturesque buildings, many owned by the National Trust.

Mariners is set in a terrace of six cottages, originally built over 250 years ago to house the coastguards when Boscastle was a thriving port and fishing village. The whole terrace was devastated by the infamous flood of August 2004, after which Mariners Cottage was sympathetically restored using traditional skills and materials to ensure that the character of the cottage was preserved.

The cottage is accessed by seven steep slate steps down from the road and the entrance to the cottage is via a very narrow front door, although there is a full sized stable door to the rear of the property. There is a sitting room and kitchen/diner on the ground floor with stairs rising up to the first floor where there is a double bedroom with a 4’6” four poster bed, a second bedroom with a 3’ single bed and a bathroom with shower over the bath and WC. All leading off a central landing. To the rear of the property is a paved patio with garden furniture which is accessed by three steep slate steps. WiFi will be available from July 2021.

Boscastle village has some very interesting shops with welcoming pubs and restaurants, all within an easy short walk. No need to cook during your holiday, although the Mariner’s kitchen is very well equipped.

Short breaks available from 1st November to 1st April. Friday to Monday (3 nights) or Monday to Friday (4 nights) at two thirds of full week's price.
