About this cottage rental
Gull Cottage is a perfect place to stay - a traditional fishermen's Cornish cottage overlooking the water in one of the most iconic locations in north Cornwall.
It sits near the end of a small row of old Boscastle Harbour cottages directly overlooking Boscastle's beautiful and historic harbour.
Situated on the south-facing side of the harbour, the cottage is easily recognised by its distinctive boat-seat attached to the front of the house. The cottage's terrace is carved into the side of the harbour and is the perfect place to sit and relax, eat a meal or simply watch the sun go down.
Built around the end of the 1700s, Gull Cottage is in a very special area. It sits in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, a Site of Special Scientific Interest, a Special Area of Conservation and is in a designated conservation area. Nature and beauty is all around. The village is a short walk where there are cosy pubs, restaurants and coffee shops.
Downstairs is a comfortable lounge and a dining room with a good sized table - both rooms have a log-burning stove. There is also a kitchen and large, modern shower room.
Upstairs has a bathroom and four bedrooms: two doubles, a twin and one with bunk beds.
There are two parking spaces, one immediately outside the property and one to the rear in a car port - while this fits a family car, manoeuvring a very large car is a little tight!
The cottage is on the South West Coastal Path. From outside the cottage you can walk along the coast south to Tintagel, north to Pentagon Waterfall or walk the wooded path that follows the River Valency up and out of the valley.

One of the loveliest places to stay in Cornwall. We went twice this year and booked for next. If I can afford it an autumn break would be nice. The cottage is charming, tasteful, excellently equipped, cosy, comfortable and located in an outstanding spot on the coast path and in view of the sea a few yards away! The area is spectacular in every direction, Boscastle is idyllic and very well endowed with excellent places to eat out, breakfast, brunch, lunch or dinner - and some great shops too! Our hosts are incredibly helpful and just lovely people! Gull Cottage feels like our second home - just the best! Stay in this beautiful place and you'll be the envy of the day-trippers.

This cottage is in a beautiful location and it is very quiet and comfortable. The outside seating is a wonderful bonus and is fairly private. The cottage is very clean and well presented. The beds are comfortable.We were grateful for the milk on arrival but a few tea bags might be nice aswell. We had one towel each so if you needed to dry your hair we had to share ??The kitchen had everything needed and plenty of plates and cutlery. There dishwasher tablets provided for a couple of washes.The WiFi was good and there is a great selection of dvds.

An amazing property in a fantastic location. The views were breathtaking & we loved watching the world go by in the harbour & the changing tides.At night we enjoyed the sunsets and the stunning starry skies.The house had everything for a comfortable stay, the large downstairs bathroom & shower is a real bonus.Steve & Louise were very helpful and quick to respond. We will definitely be back, thank you.
