Fairfield Cottage

Fairfield Cottage is a three-bedroom semi-detached cottage on Fore Street in Boscastle, close to the village's harbour and the South West Coast Path. The cottage sleeps 6 and has an open fire and an enclosed rear garden.

The ground floor has a kitchen-diner, a sitting room with a woodburning stove, and a shower room with walk-in shower and washing machine. Upstairs, three bedrooms - one king-size, one double, and one twin - share a bathroom with a bath and shower over. The cottage has central heating alongside the stove, WiFi, a dishwasher, and a TV.

Outside, the enclosed back garden has a patio, a lawned area, and a barbecue. Eight slate steps lead up to the garden, which is gated at the top. Off-road parking is available for one medium-sized car. Bossiney Cove Beach, a secluded sandy cove near Tintagel with turquoise water and caves, is 2.2 miles away. Crackington Haven Beach, with its striped sandstone cliffs and rock pools, is 4.7 miles.

Boscastle's harbour, rebuilt after the 2004 flood, is within walking distance. The Museum of Witchcraft sits by the harbour, and the coast path connects to Tintagel Castle 5 miles north. The village has two pubs, a bakery, and several cafes.

Best for a family or group of six spread across three bedrooms, with an enclosed garden and barbecue for evenings in. Less good for guests bringing more than one car - off-road parking fits only one medium-sized vehicle.
