“Lovely, comfortable, private, cottage.”

Felt very welcoming. Uninterrupted views over the fields to St Michael's Mount on clear days. Mike, the owner, introduced himself and was very friendly. We had a lovely holiday, thank you.

“Excellent property.”

Very clean and great selection of kitchen equipment. Lovely shower too. We prefer firm pillows and the current pillows are extremely soft/flat(probably need changing). Otherwise the cottage was perfect and so very peaceful, great for a peaceful get away from everything

“This is our 3rd stay at Boat’s House.”

Absolutely love it there, perfectly quiet, peaceful location. Great cottage with everything we need including garden. Friendly neighbours. Excellent location for getting out and about with kids - you’ll need to have a car!!!! Liz x

“Set back in a secluded countryside environment away from the hustle and bustle.”

The cottage has a warm welcoming atmosphere. The views are stunning; the countryside, St Michael's Mount and sea views in the distance. We really enjoyed our stay. Sad to leave but wouldn't hesitate to stay here again. The welcoming complimentary Cornish cream tea was a pleasant start to our stay.

- Joanne, July 2024
Robin June 2024

“We very much enjoyed our week in the Boar's House.”

A place in peaceful surroundings, beautiful countryside and distant views to St Michaels Mount. Comfortable accommodation with character and all you need for your stay. A welcoming cream tea on your arrival along with a nice bowl of fresh fruit, fresh flowers also (a nice touch). Bunny rabbits munching the lawn in the morning and evening were nice as was the glimpse of a barn owl flying across the field behind the cottage. Would I recommend a stay? Yes!

- Robin, June 2024

“We couldn’t fault the lovely cottage it had everything you need and more.”

After a long journey we were welcomed with a fresh bowl of fruit and a cream tea from Mike and Jennifer. Mike called a couple of days after arrival to check everything was ok which was thoughtful. If you are looking for somewhere with peace and tranquility then this is the place to be.

“We had a wonderful stay at Boer's House.”

The cottage is a beautifully converted and extended barn, with the original granite stonework intact and beautifully exposed in some rooms, including the bathroom. All very clean. The underfloor heating provided constant warmth, the interior design is tasteful and comfortable, and the location is stunning, with views as far as the eye could see over St Michael's Mount and Mounts Bay, over to Cudden Point. From the house, Penzance in the South, or St Ives in the North are accessible within minutes. We were also very lucky, with some brilliant sunshine and turqoise seas. Above all, Mike Williams, the owner, couldn't have been more helpful and caring. He even offered to pick us up in case we were stuck, when we briefly broke down on the A30, but were fortnuately able to continue. He then booked us into his local garage during the week. It couldn't have been more perfect. Thank you so much!

“Very impressed.”

Was not expecting the cleaning supplies etc…. We brought bin bags etc ….. everything was already there! The house itself was amazing. We arrived and there was a tray of scones, jam and clotted cream in the fridge! Lovely flowers on the kitchen table. The bed was so comfortable, lovely crisp bedding. The shower was a dream. The owner, Mike and Molly his lovely hound were informative about the area. Steered us towards more interesting places. We had a lovely time. It was too short. We have had friends ask about this place from our pictures on Facebook. Thank you, Mike and everyone. We will be back

Hazel September 2023

“Thank you for another lovely week at The Boar's House.”

The house is of a high standard and extremely clean and cosy. Plenty of everything needed for our stay, as 'Take a ways' are not an option, so home cooking is easy. We love the peace and quiet and the night skies. The views are amazing over the fields with Mounts Bay beyond. The surrounding countryside is really great for walking, throwing in so much history. The locals are great to chat to, a feeling of inclusion. Clotted cream tea on arrival is a nice touch. Thanks very much to you all.

“This was the second time we have stayed at Boar's Cottage and it won't be the last.”

Lovely cottage in the most beautiful location. Wonderfully quiet, so peaceful. The cottage itself is very nice, comfy beds, well equipped kitchen and lovely touches such as vases of flowers, cream tea and a fruit bowl. Owner is also very welcoming and friendly, can't rate this cottage highly enough.

- Elisabeth, July 2023
Hilary June 2023

“We loved Boar's House.”

The house and it's location were even better than expected. The house was more spacious than we imagined and the views were beautiful, right across to Mount's Bay. It was lovely that we could walk up onto the moor from the cottage, to standing stones and stunning scenery. It was in a very peaceful setting with only the birds to disturb us :). The owner was very welcoming and helpful when we needed him.

Sophie March 2023

“Stunning views.”

Cosy cottage. Spotlessly clean. Arrived to scones and clotted cream, perfect! Cooking was limited due to lack of equipment, so may I suggest a few things: Large pasta cooking pot, a few more oven dishes and a few more oven trays (there was only one). It was great that things like tea towels, dishwasher tablets, tin foil, teabags were provided, quite unexpected! On the last day the hot water and heating went off, which was quite annoying as we'd wanted showers before the long drive home. The cottage is situated conveniently, so easy to access supermarkets. We ate at some fabulous places: Talay Thai, St Ives, Queens Head, Botallack, Logan's Rock Inn, Treen, Birdies Cafe in Hayle and The Honey Pot in Penzance.

Tim October 2022

“There were only 2 small quibbles that I had with the house.”

1. You could do with buying a new toaster. They don't cost much, a wee bit annoying having to keep lifting and looking to see, as it was only toasting one side. 2. Is to have some sort of shelving in the shower, so you have somewhere to stand your shampoo, shower gel.

- Tim, October 2022

thanks for letting me know ill replace the toaster kind regards Mike Property Owner
Rachel October 2022

“The place was beautiful and on arrival a cream tea was ready and waiting.”

Stunning location, lovely views of St Michaels mount on most days. Facilities were good, beds were comfy and the outdoor space was brilliant for our 4 year old to around in.

- Rachel, October 2022
Barbara October 2022

“We enjoyed our stay at Boars House.”

Not easy to find on first arrival, but the Owner’s directions help a lot. A really peaceful & relaxing setting. On arrival the Owners had provided a welcoming Afternoon tea & a bowl of fresh fruit, which was a nice touch. Thank you. There was lots of interesting places to visit nearby & we particularly enjoyed St Michael Mount , & The Minack Theatre, definitely worth a visit!!

- Barbara, October 2022
Julie October 2022

“New mattress needed and some cushions for the kitchen chairs would be nice but I must say the cottage is lovely and so is the owner but as I suffer with a bad back these above did give me some issues.”

We do enjoy the peace and quiet the cottage offers and I would recommend Sykes and board house to my friends and family so thankyou

- Julie, October 2022

Ken September 2022

“Boar’s house was very cosy but unfortunately didn’t sleep to well maybe the mattress needs updating.”

Clean and tidy everything we needed was there,possibly a lick of paint but that’s not to say we didn’t enjoy our stay at Boar’s house and would have no worries about rebooking in future.

- Ken, September 2022

Sarah March 2022

“Lovely cottage.”

We particularly appreciated being to keep the cottage warm throughout. Excellent walks from the door. A highlight was spotting a short-eared owl nearby. Away from the tourist routes,lovely and quiet with lots of archaelogy and beautiful beaches nearby.

- Sarah, March 2022
Steven February 2022

“Very well equipped and cosy cottage with excellent views across the surrounding area and out over Mounts bay.”

The cottage was nice and clean upon arrival. Also the owner popped by in the week to check all was well as well as leaving a cream tea and fruit upon arrival to the cottage. Finally it was nice to have a washing machine in the boiler room to use during the week.

- Steven, February 2022

“Loved our recent stay.”

Boars House was beautiful and in such a lovely location. It's so peaceful and relaxing. A gorgeous cream tea was waiting for us on arrival along with fresh flowers and fruit which were such lovely touches. We met the owner Mike who was able to offer us local knowledge. Would definitely recommend however your own transport is needed.

Cathy August 2019

“Absolutely loved our fortnight at The Boar's House, Tredinnack, The cottage is very well equipped with everything you could ask for, and beautifully furnished.”

The owners' care and attention is there in every detail - the cream tea on arrival, the tiny vases of fresh flowers in every room, thoughtful selection of guides and leaflets to help make the most of the area and the personal contact - Mike dropped by a couple of times to make sure everything was OK and to advise when laundry would be changed and gardens attended to. He also gave us good tips for local walks, direct from the cottage. The location is breathtaking; distant views of Mounts Bay, moorlands and tin mines abound, many Bronze Age and Neolithic sites. Easy to reach both the North Atlantic coast - St Ives, SW Coast Path Zennor to Gurnard's Head and the South - Newlyn, Mousehole and Minack in one direction and Penzance, Marazion (St Michael's Mount) and Porthleven in the other. Great variety and choice of restaurants to be enjoyed. Totally exceeded our expectations.

- Cathy, August 2019
Katy August 2019

“The Boar’s House is a cottage to be returned to time and time again!”

Our second visit was equally as good, if not better than the first and we look forward to returning another year. The tranquility of the location is astounding and well worth the 8 hour drive to get there! The cottage is very well laid out and equipped and the owners have considered everything.

- Katy, August 2019
Tracey August 2019

“Boars House Penzance is a beautiful peaceful cottage surrounded by amazing scenery.”

Close enough to all major villages and attractions, you may want to visit. Everything required to make the cottage a home from home is included. It’s a lovely peaceful place to return to after a full day of visiting, swimming, surfing, walking, paddling, eating and drinking etc etc. The owners left a cream tea, elderflower drink & flowers for our arrival, which was greatly appreciated. Would highly recommend you book.

- Tracey, August 2019
Emma July 2019

“Boar's House is a lovely little cottage, well equipped and comfortable and I think even better in real life than in the photos.”

It is in a very quiet, rural location with fantastic views across the countryside to the sea and St Michael's Mount. It's in a great location to explore Cornwall from, being close to St Ives, Penzance and lots of wonderful beaches. On arrival, we were greeted with a delicious cream tea left by the owners, as well as a bowl of fresh fruit and bottle of juice. Would definitely recommend and would also consider a return visit.

“The cottage was very welcoming and homely to us, It was best cottage we had peaceful and quit is what we like as my 9 year old preparing his grade 5 exam in music, beautiful views around Penzance sea side and St Micheals Mount, and closed to Penzance shops, we have a lovely a blissful holiday at The Boars House .”

It delightful meeting the landlord checking us Mr Williams again many thanks! Definitely we stay again at The Boars House and 100% we would recommend the cottage to our friends. Mr&Mrs Rigby Matlock, Derbyshire

Elizabeth July 2018

“The best cottage we have ever rented.”

Wonderful view to St Michaels Mount over farmland. Close to Ding Dong Mill ruins do steeped in history. Friendly but never intrusive farmer / owner. Many extra and unexpected little extras including a cream tea waiting us on arrival, fresh flowers and a bowl of fruit. A real rural escape but near to all the must do places in West Cornwall.

- Elizabeth, July 2018
Martin June 2018

“The cottage was lovely: a beautiful quiet location, utterly peaceful, and 30 minutes bike ride from the lovely rugged North Cornwall coastline.”

Very nicely decorated and all provided for. And a very kind owner who even offered to pick me and my bicycle up from the station in his pick-up, as it was raining. Much enjoyed being there and hope to go back sometime.

- Martin, June 2018
Sue June 2018

“The cottage was lovely and we loved the location.”

The peace was beautiful. Mr Williams was v. friendly and we had a good chat with him. However, as the cottage is fairly off the beaten track we thought it would be hepful to have a sign (stating the name of the cottage) which can be seen from the road. (ie at the end of the drive instead of halfway down). Although we were using sat.nav. we lost our signal near to the cottage and drove past twice! Also, a night light (so as not too bright to keep you awake) would be useful to light the staircase as the toilet is downstairs and is a bit tricky going downstairs in the middle of the night. We are at that age! We would definitely visit again.

- Sue, June 2018
Geoffrey May 2018

“Extremely quiet & peaceful - a real chance to relax and unwind.”

Owner very friendly and thoughtful. Flowers, a cream tea and a bottle of locally produced apple juice to welcome you.

- Geoffrey, May 2018
Brenda March 2018

“This was our 10th stay at The Boar’s House, which speaks for itself!”

Mr Williams and family couldn’t be more helpful. The little stone cottage has been fitted out to an acceptably high standard. The situation is secluded with wonderful views.

The property

Found down narrow winding lanes in the peace and tranquillity of the countryside three miles from Penzance and seven from St Ives, the delightfully named mining region of Ding Dong is an area of moorland steeped in ancient history with mystic Neolithic sites and old mining relics that echo Cornwall's past.

Set in south facing gardens with views extending out over the landscape to St Michael's Mount and the Lizard Peninsula on a clear day, The Boar's House is a romantic escape from the rigours of every day.

Painstakingly restored from a run down and neglected stone barn, an internal inspection will reveal many original features carefully integrated with the trappings of modern day.

Rustic slate with air source under floor heating extends into a lounge with French doors leading out to the garden and furnished with a comfortable blue suite, and on into a kitchen fitted with cream Shaker cabinets with solid beech worktops and a Belfast sink.

Upstairs the double bedroom is full of character.

Capturing the sun for most of the day the garden is a sylvan oasis in which to let time drift by whether with a leisurely breakfast or toasting the sunset at the end of the day. Peaceful rambles will give an opportunity to witness nature at its best and although you are unlikely to meet a boar, quiet paths lead out over a rugged terrain amongst heather and moorland flowers, whilst buzzards and kestrels soar effortlessly in the sky above.

Superb walking and riding country, facilities are available nearby for anyone wishing to bring their own horse.

This is a wonderful area to explore without being remote.

Penzance, Marazion and the superb white sand beaches of St Ives are not far away.

There is parking for two cars on a gravel area just behind the property.

About the location

PENZANCE

St Ives 8 miles. Helicopter to Isles of Scilly - 30 minutes

Penzance hosts Golowan, the Midsummer Carnival, and The Literary Festival. There are also The Exchange, Newlyn and Penlee Art Galleries. One of Cornwall’s most popular holiday areas is the spectacular sweep of Mount’s Bay, from the cliffside fishing village of Mousehole through Penzance and around to beautiful Marazion, the coastline hides a wealth of sandy beaches, rocky coves as well as winding village streets and other places to visit and explore. Connected by a 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 it is the jumping-off point for day trips to the Isles of Scilly as well as being the harbor. 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.
