Sustainable Property
Sustonica, the first global sustainability standard for holiday lets.
Our aim is to create lasting holiday memories and we intend to do so both responsibly and sustainably.
To deliver on this we've set out a number of environmental and social pledges which help to focus our efforts;
you can read more about them in our Impact Report.
This is why we've partnered with Sustonica, the first global certification for holiday lets,
to support our owners to be more sustainable.
The Sustonica certification focuses on four key areas: energy conservation, water conservation,
waste reduction and promoting inclusiveness. They are on a mission to become the most widely
recognised sustainability standard for holiday rentals and a catalyst to reduce emissions of holiday
lets and influence guests to reduce their own household consumption too.
Properties that display the Sustonica badge have successfully passed the criteria,
which align with the UN Sustainable Development Goals and the Global Sustainable Tourism Council standards,
and their owner has made a commitment to look after our planet as well as you.
The property was beautifully presented, comfortable, well equipped with good quality appliances and lovely original artwork. Michael was very helpful and always had time to chat. We had a delicious cream tea waiting for us on arrival plus a bowl of fresh fruit. We hope to return soon. Thank you Michael!

The size of the cottage suited us as a family of 5 very well. The location of Boskednan Wartha is fabulous too as its so rural and off the beaten track and yet a short drive gets you to both coasts easily. Michael was very welcoming and friendly and the cream tea on arrival was a really lovely touch.
Our only criticism is that the kitchen is in real need of a refurbishment. The worksurfaces around the sink are quite mouldy and the cupboards are showing a lot of wear.

We only met Mike, who was lovely, and helpful in pointing out routes. i especially liked that there was a fine supply of essential stuff: a pile of jeye cloths, lots of cleaning liquids and toilet rolls.
If we have one complaint it is that we couldn’t get the water in the stand-up shower hotter than tepid. I hate overhead shower heads anyway as you can’t direct the flow where you want it and need to wear a shower cap if you don’t want your hair drenched. The water to the bath shower head was lovely and hot. All-in-all a superb place to stay. Thank you to Mike.

The informed chats with Mr Williams was what makes holidays special. The only downside to all of this, are the main agents messrs Sykes Cottages, who expect us to spend more money on Holiday Insurance, just in case we can't come for unexpected reasons. You, a few years ago, did give us a credit on our account when we had to cancel due to such a case, as this property was relet within a few days. In these instances it should not require a holiday insurance when no one has lost anything.

Very welcoming owners who were not intrusive but helpful when necessary. The large well equipped kitchen had every thing we needed and all electrical equipment supplied was easy to use. The large conservatory was comfortable with two doors that could be fully opened to let in cool air. There is a huge free standing bath and a modern shower in the bath room and there was always lots of very hot water available. Beds were comfortable and the bedrooms large and light. The two dogs that run free were friendly and liked attention but didn't attempt to come into the property.
The cottage is remotely situated and the approach roads are narrow and in the summer overgrown making slow and careful driving necessary. Penzance is close by and there are three supermarkets on the A30 within 15 minutes drive from the cottage. We found that it was easiest to drive to the supermarket on the way to or from our trips out rather than make a special journey to shop.
Places to visit locally; Marazion (St Michael's Mount), Eden Project, St Ives, Mousehole and Pendennis Castle at Falmouth. Lands end is expensive, over comercialised and very busy.

The property
On the edge of West Penwith Moors, this delightfully peaceful retreat provides beautifully presented accommodation near Penzance, West Cornwall.
A hidden gem and surrounded by countryside, this lovely house is a wonderful choice for a family holiday.
There are three spacious and beautifully elegant bedrooms and why not spoil yourself in the free standing bath in the Edwardian-style bathroom.
Arches link the conservatory, dining and kitchen areas giving an open plan feel and you can certainly lose a few hours sitting in the conservatory and listening to the birds, admiring the countryside views and the uninterrupted night sky.
Step outside and you will find a fabulous garden for al fresco dining or just relaxing in.
An exceptional setting, surrounded by mature trees, a gentle stream and rolling countryside but if you can tear yourself away, there are seaside towns, villages and sandy beaches all within easy driving distance.
A trip to Marazion is just a short drive away, where St Michaels Mount is a prominent feature, or maybe explore the art galleries of St Ives with its sandy beaches and boat trips.
The white sands of Sennen Cove, are awash with surfers, swimmers and sun worshippers in the summer months and quiet and serene during those winter breaks.
Walkers, cyclists and horse riders will love this location with its rugged landscape and wonderful scenery.
A delightful holiday destination away from the demands of modern living, perfect for spending quality time with the family.

Where you’ll be staying
PENZANCE
St Ives 8 miles. Helicopter to Isles of Scilly - 30 minutes
One of Cornwall’s most popular holiday areas. The spectacular sweep of Mount’s Bay, from the cliffside fishing village of Mousehole through Penzance and around to beautiful Marazion, hides a wealth of sandy beaches, rocky coves, winding village streets and other places to visit and explore. Connected by causeway to the shore at Marazion is the National Trust’s stunningly beautiful St Michael’s Mount with its hilltop castle and Mediterranean gardens. Walk across at low water and take one of the ferry boats back when the tide is up. Penzance with its winding streets, shops, clubs, restaurants and harbour is a must as is the jumping-off point for day trips to the Scilly Isles. The South West Coast Path passing through Penzance winds its way along the clifftops towards Land’s End. On the way, stop off for a coffee and a rest at beautiful Lamorna Cove, explore the open air Minack Theatre and marvel at the cliffs as you approach Gwennap Head. A stunning walk for those seeking solitude, exercise and some of the UK’s best coastal scenery. Penzance is the perfect holiday base. Ideally placed for exploring this land of Celtic myth and legend and with enough to do and see in the immediate area to keep all the family occupied.
