The footpath directly opposite the house takes you down to Bar Beach and along to Helford Passage and the renowned Ferry Boat Inn.  Helford Passage provides a multitude of activities including kayaking, paddle boarding, boat hire and rock pooling. Enjoy lunch on the pub’s terrace whilst overlooking the water or take a trip on the ferry (operates 1st April to 31st October) across to the picture perfect Helford Village for a drink at The Shipwrights Arms.  The stunning gardens at Trebah and Glendurgan are also within walking distance.  Back at the house, a gate from the garden will take you on to the Budock Vean golf course.  Enjoy a round of golf or simply stroll across to the hotel for lunch, dinner or afternoon tea.

There are more extensive facilities in the nearby foodie harbour towns of Falmouth (20 mins by car) and Porthleven (30 mins by car) including access to exceptional local ingredients for you to cook back at the house. Should you wish to go further afield, within 45 minutes you can access Cornwall's north coast (surfing) or the rugged west coast and Poldark country.

        Home truths

        We want guests to thoroughly enjoy their stay at Boscantle and therefore there are a few things we are keen to ensure you are aware of before booking your stay:


        • There is a close and welcoming local community.  However, if you are looking for a place for a a party and to otherwise cause a lot of noise this is probably not the property for you.  Our gardens are lovely and private which can make it easy to forget there are neighbouring properties close by – especially at the front of the house and by the pool. We kindly request that guests avoid screaming, shouting or other unnecessary noise at any time.


        • There are 2 routes to Helford Passage - either along the road or down a footpath directly opposite the property which takes you down to Bar Beach.  Both of these routes are steep and may be difficult for anyone with reduced mobility.


        • The swimming pool is heated during summer months (May-September).  Out of these months it will be out-of-bounds.  The pool is 1.25m deep throughout.  Therefore great for swimming but not for diving or jumping.  In the summer months the pool is available for use from 7am to 9pm.


        • The WiFi and mobile signal are generally good and reliable.  However, no guarantee can be provided this will always be the case.


        • We bought the house in 2020 and have steadily been refurbishing it since.  The kitchen, dining areas, bathrooms and back of house areas are next on the list.  They are perfectly nice spaces (as shown by the photos) but will be improved further in due course!


        • There are 4 bath/shower rooms (plus an additional shower on the ground floor).  However, please note that the Master Bedroom does not have a bath and the Bathroom on the top floor does not have a shower.
