Ivy Cottage, Boscastle

Boscastle - Cottage

Wow what a fantastic cottage, very clean, well done cleaners. Best equipped cottage we have ever stayed in. Fantastic for our dogs who had a fantastic holiday. Great location and kept us fit walking up and down to Boscastle. We will definitely book this cottage again. Thanks for letting us stay in your home.

Ivy Cottage is beautiful, comfortable, cosy and spotlessly clean, with a lovely peaceful garden where a stream runs at the bottom. It’s perfect and we will definitely return again.

The best accommodation we have ever stayed in. Done two years on the bounce and it’s still absolutely amazing! Will be back!

Ivy Cottage was perfect for us and we had a brilliant week. Really well equipped kitchen, beautifully clean, great living space inside and outside, and well located in Boscastle so very easy for the shops but also a short (steep) walk to the coastal path. Some really lovely touches and thoughtful advice and information from the owners. We’d definitely return.

Wow, what a fabulous cottage. Very clean and with everything you would need. A home from home.

Perfect in every way.

Ivy Cottage is a wonderful place to stay. My wife and I have just had a week there with our dog and have stayed previously, prior to the recent renovation. The cottage is immaculate and every need has been thought through. The kitchen is very well equipped and the living room is cosy and comfy.

We found a lovely welcome basket on arrival, including a tasty bottle of Cornish cider! The beds and bed linen are very comfortable and there’s ample storage. Outside, there are several different seating areas and the new fire pit area is a great addition. Even the dog area has been considered with a lot of detail. They even have their own welcome selection of goodies!

Overall, a perfect week away in a gorgeous area. We’ll definitely return. Excellent local coffee shops in the village and the Wellington pub, which is dog friendly, was a great place for dinner. Don’t forget the coastal path: amazing views! Thanks for a wonderful week

Ivy Cottage is simply superb. The place was spotless inside and out the cleaning staff had clearly done a very thorough job. The garden is lovely, with a convenient and well appointed decking area, plus the fire pit on the lower area below, which is very secluded and peaceful.

The cottage is thoughtfully appointed with modern appliances and I particularly appreciated the nightlights on each floor, which can be lifted out to become torches: a very practical addition that I wouldn’t have thought of.

We visited in late July 2026 and had plans to do a lot of day trips. In fact, we only did two because we enjoyed the cottage so much. Many hours were spent snoozing on the decking and cooking marshmallows over the fire pit. We were very, very lucky with the weather, but on a colderwetter visit the living room is cosy, with a little wood burner, and the TV stand is stocked with many DVDs.

The TV itself is a modern smart one, so you can log into your subscriptions without needing to bring a Fire Sticksimilar. The internet is more than fast enough to support video streaming on several devices at once.

The walk down Old Road into the village is surprisingly quick and short enough that you’re back at the cottage before the hill tires you out. In addition to the popular tourist shops and pubs at the bottom of the village, I would also recommend trying out the quieter pub a short walk further up the hill, called the Napoleon.

Thank you for making this superb cottage available to us.

The cottage is lovely, with lots of outdoor seating, perfect for a family getaway.
