Destiny Cottage

• "The location is second to none."

  Pubs, shop, restaurants, harbour, dog walking and parking are all easy and convenient. Destiny is a comfortable quirky cottage with good facilities. The cottage had warm background heating and the log burner worked really well. All the plumbing worked well too. The upper and lower floors are sloping and take a bit of getting used to, it can make you feel a bit giddy. but it's all character. The level walk from the cottage to the harbour along the National Trust footpath is safe, with lovely views and great for the dog. The only downside was the vacuum cleaner provided, which doesn't really work well and isn't up to the task. Otherwise this place is thoroughly recommended. Thank you.

• "Lovely cottage."

  Great location. We have rebooked. Very cosy. Ideal for us and our two dogs. Only thing is we had to turn the air fresheners off, while we were there as my black Labrador was too sensitive to them. She wouldn’t go in her bed until we realised there was an air freshener right next to her. Look forward to staying again in the summer months.

• "It was a delight to stay in this lovely cottage, very well equipped, the location in Boscastle was great for the places we wanted to visit."

  Local pubs that served wonderful food, little shops to have a wander, our dog loved the harbour and also the many coves we explored. Highly recommend.

• "A lovely comfortable stay in a quaint little cottage."

  Yes it has it's quirky parts but that's to be expected in a building that's over 200 years old. Our only real problem that we had was the freezer section on the fridge was far to small. We had taken a lot of frozen food to cover a fortnights stay. This is the only thing that I would make people aware of.

  Considering the price we paid we expected a higher standard.

• "Destiny Cottage is absolutely superb."

  The location is fantastic, just a hundred yards from the centre of beautiful Boscastle. The on-site parking is very convenient too. This delightfully quirky cottage is situated right next to the National Trust Panoramic Path, which leads through the woods down to the harbour and is ideal for safely taking the dog for a walk. The cottage kitchen is very well equipped indeed. All the plumbimg and heating worked without any problems as did the wifi and all electrical items. The woodburner was easy to use and enhanced the cottage atmosphere tremendously. Comfy bed, lovely new shower and the whole place was surprisingly warm, considering it was November. Can't think of anything negative to say about this delightful place to stay. Thank you so very much, Robert & Cilla (& Louis) Nov 2023.

• "The cottage was in a nice location just a short walk down to the main village along a path nice walk for the dog."

  The cottage itself was tidy , my only concerns were possibly leave more cleaning supplies, ie a squeegee for the shower, and a cleaning cloth for the sink, and maybe some antibacterial cleaning chemicals. Also it would be better if a clothes airer was available coat hangers in the small cupboard upstairs is cold and not suitable, . The mattress on the bed was uncomfortable humps and hollows, could really do with upgrading, . Also please put a jug in the kitchen utensils cupboard. Would definitely recommend this little cottage for a relaxing break.

• "This is a very nice holiday cottage indeed."

  Clean, as described, and well equipped. We've stayed in Boscastle many times and love the area and this was a great place to stay. The footpath opposite was a Godsend, avoiding a blind bend on a hill, but it does bypass the entire village and lead you down to the harbour instead. At some point you need to brave the road! I didn't find the bed especially comfortable. Those sloping floor (expected in a Victorian cottage) left me with the sensation of sleeping on a slope! A minor point to be sure! I'd use this cottage again.

• "We have just returned from a fabulous 2 week stay at Destiny Cottage, Boscastle."

  The cottage was clean and welcoming on arrival with the lovely touch of complimentary milk and biscuits. It is very well equipped with all essentials in the kitchen and comfy furnishings. We enjoyed the addition of having Netflix to pass away the evenings now it's dark earlier. The cottage was ideally placed for the village and visiting surrounding areas - we particularly liked the woodland walk to the harbour which we did with the dog every day. The Cobweb pub in the village is a must for fabulous meals and the bakery was very handy for fresh bread and yummy pasties. Looking to book again for next year already.

• "A well positioned cottage and tastefully furnished."

  The stone floor is lovely and the original oak floorboards upstairs are beautiful. The bed was very comfortable and the kitchen had plenty of space. However, the cottage smelled very strongly of dog and we are dog owners ourselves although we had no dog with us. Considering the small amount of soft furnishings / carpet in the design of the cottage this is hard to understand. I was forced to buy some incense sticks in the village to hide the smell. The chair/stools/sofa and stair carpet need to be cleaned and perhaps a nice stick diffuser purchased by the owner.

  Great to see the character retained along with modern living essentials. Maybe we were unlucky that the previous occupants had a rather whiffy dog, that was the only downside. But we appreciate it is listed as dog friendly, and it didn't detract greatly. Would certainly book again.

• "A delightful cottage with a well maintained green area in front of the house which was brilliant for our dog."

  Right opposite was a path leading to the harbour which meant we could access the village without walking down the steep road (no path for about 100 yards). There was an alternative path equally close which led onto the South West Coast Path. We only used the car on one day. A well equipped and maintained cottage. The stairs are quite steep and the floors give a nod to the age of the building as they slope towards the rear of the property!

  It's in a great location for walks around Boscastle. I love not having to use my car. The new shower was great and the up dating of the garden so you could sit outside on nice days.Also on the cool evenings the log burner was fantastic. Shame about the day bed we always thought it added to the cottages charm. But we did have a lovely week there. I am sure we will be back for another week there soon. Many Thanks.

  Perfect for two people. We felt at ease as soon as we entered. Lovely welcome of milk and a selection of tea. Warmth of heaters for cottage. Facilities were thoughtful and practical such as iron, hairdryer, torches , bedding, towels, all cooking utensils. Clean fresh sheets and towels. We would most definitely recommend and return. Boscastle is a friendly town with welcoming pubs. We enjoyed lovely walks . One walk can be accessed from opposite the cottage.Boscastle is a nice location to travel from to see other parts of Cornwall We had a relaxing and happy holiday staying in a home from home !
