Guests that stayed at this property said
The majority of guests found the cottage to be clean and well-kept, with only minor comments about dust and paintwork suggesting room for improvement. The overall impression is of a tidy and comfortable environment.
The location is highly praised for its beauty, tranquility, and convenience to local attractions and nature walks. The woodland setting and proximity to the coast are particularly appreciated, making it an ideal spot for a peaceful retreat.
Guests find the cottage cosy and the beds comfortable, with a few remarks about the need for more efficient heating in some rooms. The overall comfort level is deemed high, contributing to the property's charm.
While the cottage's facilities are generally found to be adequate, some guests suggest updates to kitchen utensils and seating. The lack of towels and some small amenities were noted, but these did not significantly detract from the overall experience.
While guests have left items for future occupants and appreciated the homely touches, there is no consistent mention of gifts provided by the owner or the property, thus a score cannot be given. It should be noted that while such gestures can occur, they are not guaranteed.
About this property
Tintagel 1 mile.
A warm and welcoming stone-built miller's residence in St Nectan's Glen, a wooded valley and Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, below the hamlet of Bossiney. Surrounded by 20 acres of garden and woodland, with walks through the trees and down Rocky Valley (NT) to the sea and Bossiney Cove on the doorstep. This typical Cornish cottage is comfortable and spacious with beamed ceilings, exposed stonework and a woodburner. Note: This property can be booked with Refs. 981, 982 and 983, together they sleep 13.
Tintagel is dominated by the magnificent ruins of King Arthur's Castle which lie on the cliffside outside the town. The sea, secluded coves and spectacular scenery dominate the area, and a number of superb beaches, including Trebarwith Strand, are easily reached for surfing, swimming and sunbathing. The town offers pubs and restaurants and the National Trust owned Old Post Office. Walkers will love the SW coast path which goes right through Tintagel then winds its way in both directions along the cliff tops through stunning countryside, before meandering down to the water's edge. The pretty village of Boscastle with its charming quay and village pubs is 2.5 miles north, and if you venture further afield you will find the surfing resort of Bude; the wild open spaces of Bodmin Moor; the incredible biospheres of the Eden Project; Padstow and its famous restaurants, and much more.

The cottage is as you see it on the website. It is immaculately clean, comfortable and warm. The living room would benefit from a table lamp or two as there are only ceiling lights and the kitchen was missing a few handy gadgets. However, it has all the appliances that you may need. All in all I would recommend Miller's Cottage as a tranquil setting with easy access to Rocky Valley and the coast path.

The location is breathtaking and highly recommended. The house itself is great, but needs some updating - new sofa and chairs wouldnât go amiss, and the main lounge area would benefit from a lamp. These are minor quibbles though - our holiday was wonderful and the seclusion and peacefulness of the glen is really something.
