“We had a wonderful week at Boskednan Wartha.”

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!

It’s well equipped, with a bonus second toilet (not included in the description), fantastic welcome pack and friendly host who went above and beyond to ensure a great stay for three generations of our family.

“We enjoyed a wonderful week at the property, which exceeded our expectations.”

A cream tea on arrival was a lovely welcome and we enjoyed chatting to Mike and Daniel and watching rabbits play at the end of the garden. Lovely country walks on the owners land and the property was finished to a very high standard.

“Wonderful property, everything we needed to make it a perfect stay .”

The garden was stunning we love quite and this is what you get it’s in the country side but central enough for lands end, Penzance, St Just, Hale etc . Micheal was a lovely host we had scones and fresh flowers on arrival . We would highly recommend thank you for a lovely stay

Stephenie July 2023

“The cottage is absolutely beautiful and the gardens are just fabulous.”

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. However, we had a really lovely stay here. Thank you

- Stephenie, July 2023

Thank you for your feedback so pleased you had a lovely stay,we have taken your comments on board. Hope to welcome you back again. Property Owner

“We had a superb two week break at Boskednan.”

Excellent comfortable and large cottage. Lovely big garden. On arrival found cream tea available and full bowl of fruit. Very clean and tidy house. Three big bedrooms. Really enjoyed sitting in conservatory looking through the open doors at the big garden. Very good location to visit the Penzance Peninsular.

- Kevin, May 2023
Paul May 2023

“Delighted with our repeated stays here.”

Wonderful hosts. We were made to feel so welcome and the property is spotlessly clean. The gardens are a delight and the Penwith Moors are within a stones throw for exploring. We will return as soon as we are able.

Gary October 2022

“The property and the location are absolutely beautiful, and we will definitely be revisiting in the future.”

The only small problem we had was, it is very hard to find however, we phoned the owner and he came out straight away to guide us to the property which we really appreciated. To find the property when we went out we used the ' what three words ' app and it got us back to the cottage every time with no problems. We met Mr Williams and he is such a really nice man and very down to earth. This property is in a beautiful part of the country and the surrounding areas are breath taking. We had a lovely week and this was helped by the generosity of the owners, on arrival we had a cream tea, fresh flowers and fresh fruit , it was such a lovely touch.

“Fabulous stay at the cottage.”

Beautiful property in lovely surroundings. The cottage is tastefully decorated and furnished with all the modern conveniences for a home from home stay. We arrived to a cream tea, fresh flowers and a bowl of fruit. A very thoughtful and much appreciated gesture. The cottage was spotless and we had no trouble sleeping. Have been telling everyone and showing pictures. We hope to return as soon as we can! Thank you to Mike,Jennifer and Debbie.

Claire August 2022

“Very comfortable stay.”

Property clean, tidy, in good condition. Has everything you need. 2nd time staying here. Lovely place and didn't want to go home!

- Claire, August 2022
Jacqueline July 2022

“Amazing property we would love gardens like this at home!”

Bit difficult to find but that was because we used the satnav. The beds were a little bit too soft for us as we have bad backs. The stream running alongside the property was just beautiful and all you could hear in the morning which was so peaceful. The cream tea, fruit bowl and refreshing soft drink left for us on arrival was such a lovely kind thoughtful touch and very much appreciated. Overall we had a wonderful stay and would definitely look at staying there again. Have already recommended to a friend of ours. Ps Mike is such a lovely man, great sense of humour and always on hand to help.

- Jacqueline, July 2022

Kayleigh July 2022

“We have just returned from a weeks stay at Boskednan Wartha and all I can say is Wow!”

! We were very much looking forward to our week away and we were not disappointed at all. On arrival we were greeted with such a beautiful house, very clean and with all the amenities you could need. The full fruit bowl and tray of Cream Tea for on our arrival was a very nice touch too! This house is beautiful and the location for us was perfect - we visited lots of places including St.Ives, Penzance, St Michael's Mount, Lands End and they were all within a few miles and a short drive. The garden is amazing, my children loved playing out there and were very excited when the little rabbits came out too. Finally the owner is just lovely, we stopped and chatted a few times through the week and he was very welcoming and friendly. We will definitely be booking to go back and fingers crossed for the same weather we had this time! I would definitely recommend Boskednan Wartha to anyone looking to stay somewhere a little quieter, with lots of amazing outdoor space and within easy reach of so many beautiful towns and attractions.

- Kayleigh, July 2022
Philip F July 2022

“We just had a great week's stay around the Penzance Area, using the Cottage at Boskednan Wartha as our base, which for anyone looking for a quiet relaxing stay in the countryside is ideal.”

Our Granddaughter of 5 loved the many gardens surrounding the property, which to her were her secret Gardens and very safe and secure to play in.Michael the owner lives near by and couldn’t be more helpful and obliging to us. Would highly recommend this property, once you get used to the drive through the narrow lanes to the Cottage. Mc Carron Clan from Scotland

Sally May 2022

“Beautiful accommodation on picturesque grounds, our host Michael couldn’t have been any better, very welcoming, my children enjoyed showing him some of the garden toys we had taken and talking to him about his animals, and grounds.”

Lovely fresh flowers around the house on our arrival as well as cream tea waiting in the kitchen for us which was delicious. Good location, plenty of wildlife to see, short drive to local villages, harbour and beaches. Would definitely like to visit again.

- Sally, May 2022
Dennis May 2022

Mr Williams is welcoming and always helpful whenever he can be. We have been here a few times before and it never disappoints.

- Dennis, May 2022
Robert May 2022

“We really enjoyed our stay at Boskednan Wartha.”

The owner was very kind & helpful. The cottage was lovely, the place was clean throughout. We loved the small touches like fresh flowers and scones with fresh cream and jam waiting for us.! The garden was a haven to be in, the hidden area with bench was a lovely place to sit in the morning with a coffee. We have already decided that we would definitely return to Boskednan Wartha in the future and have already recommended to friends and family.

- Robert, May 2022
Melinda April 2022

- Jean, March 2022
Helen February 2022

“We stayed at BOSKEDNAN WARTHA at the end of February 2022.”

The bungalow was superbly decorated, furnished and equipped. My husband and I stayed there with our son and three grandchildren who were absolutely entranced with the cottage. The garden was glorious and the children said that they were in a magic wood. They were able to walk a long way with us in the extensive garden and adored seeing rabbits, squirrels and lots of birds. We will definitely come again!! Thank you to the owners for a wonderful holiday - your thoughtfulness in all areas was appreciated!!

- Helen, February 2022
Paul January 2022

Very warm welcome with Cornish Cream Tea. Fresh flowers in all the rooms. Overflowing fruit bowl. Cottage was spotlessly clean and tastefully decorated. Heating was robust and lots of warm water. Friendly hosts. Thank you!

“Loved our stay, quiet and secluded, host was great, nothing too much trouble, ...”

Loved our stay, quiet and secluded, host was great, nothing too much trouble, lovely welcome cream tea, perfect for a young family, with large secure gardens for kids to play in, can't recommend Boskadnan wartha enough, everything you would need when coming from a busy beach etc, only slight downside is poor phone signal, but has wi fi so can phone with WhatsApp, all round highly recommended,

- David, January 2022
Susan December 2021

“We were very comfortable in this bungalow.”

It felt like home! The kitchen was well equipped with quality products. Furniture and decor was excellent and there was plenty of space for our bits and pieces. One improvement would be a toiletries holder in the shower cubicle. Thank you to the owners for their friendly welcome.

- Peter, September 2021
Darren August 2021

“What a gem of a place.”

Lovely setting. Even the small things like fresh fruit, flowers and cream teas on arrival. Kids loved the garden area with a few chickens appearing which they gave names to. TV and Internet was good. The main bed was nice & soft and not rock hard. Outhouse had washer/dryer which was very useful on those beach days with kids. Owners were very welcoming. Would recommend and would consider again if holidaying in that area.

- Darren, August 2021
Wendy August 2021

“Lovely cottage, very comfortable and well equipped.”

Our second visit to this property and as great as the first time. Very clean and uncluttered, just how we like it. The scones on arrival was a nice touch and the owners are very friendly and helpful. It's a great base to explore the tin coast and Sennen Cove was fab for the surfing and body boarding. Thank you for a lovely base for our holiday.

- Wendy, August 2021
Lucy July 2021

“Great place to stay, well equipped, beautiful cottage, owners very nice and friendly.”

Will be going back.

- Lucy, July 2021
Roger July 2021

“We had a relaxing stay at Boskednan Wartha.”

It was a peaceful location through a couple of miles of narrow lanes, which I'd conquered after few trips out. The property was very welcoming with everything provided for.The back garden was entertaining with the rabbits and squirrels. The only negative was the double bed, it was far too soft and gave no support. I never got a full nights rest, sinking into the mattress. If this was replaced we would probably return as it was ideal for us.

- Roger, July 2021
Caroline June 2021

“Such a wonderfully relaxing place to stay.”

The owners were so helpful and getting cream tea when we arrived is a joy.

- Caroline, June 2021
Richard June 2021

“Fabulous week at Boskednana Wartha.”

Beautiful bungalow in a secluded and peaceful location. The gardens are amazing and a sun trap on an afternoon. Garden furniture and umbrellas provided to be able to enjoy it. Plenty of opportunities to explore the rural hills and moors on foot from the front door. Inside everything was clean, tidy and well facilitated. Fresh flowers, fruit and a Cornish cream tea to welcome us. Owner called across on our second day to make sure everything was OK and on our last day on driving past him on a nearby country lane again took the trouble to stop and thank us for our stay. It was us who thanked him. If you want a quiet and tranquil base for your stay in Cornwall this is the place for you.

- Richard, June 2021
Ann May 2021

“Superb cottage in splendid surroundings and very handy for both sides of the peninsula.”

The garden is magnificent and has a continuous supply of rabbits and foxes to watch from the conservatory, which itself is lovely to sit in if you have rainy days.. 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.

- Ann, May 2021
John May 2021

“He bungalow was absolutely superb could not wish for anything better one of the best holiday self catering we have had.”

The location was in the country side quiet and peaceful narrow lanes but worth the effort. Would recommend this to any one visiting Penzance excellent

- John, May 2021
Jack May 2021

“We have recently spent a week at Boskednan Wartha.”

It was a first class experience in every respect. The bungalow is beautifully furnished and equipped with every mod con. The cream tea was a lovely touch, also flowers and a bowl of fresh fruit. Mike was on hand next door but not intrusive. We were sorry to leave this peaceful home and beautiful garden.

- Jack, May 2021
Claire April 2021

“We absolutely loved our week away here!”

The acres of garden were fabulous and we went on lovely walks. My 3 year old loved the garden! The bungalow was lovely and so clean and welcoming. Beds comfortable, lots of space, netflix and a lovely bathroom. We were in the perfect area for beaches - sennen cove was our all time favourite!!! Mike was a great host and very helpful, with local knowledge. He also let our 3 year old go on his digger. Will be back and highly recommend!

- Claire, April 2021
Kelly April 2021

“Beautiful location, very peaceful.”

House is clean and comfortable and has everything you need for a self catering holiday. The garden is huge, kids loved it. The owners live next door but you wouldn't know they are there and the house and garden are not over looked. The cream tea on arrival was delicious and much appreciated after a long journey. There is plenty to do in the surrounding area, we particularly enjoyed the Tremenheere sculpture gardens. We had a lovely few days in Cornwall and would highly recommend this holiday home

- Kelly, April 2021
Emily October 2020

“We've been to Boskednan Wartha many times now, and from the moment we walk through the front door it never fails to meet our expectations.”

The cottage is always warm, exceptionally clean and very well equipped. The garden is beautiful and the children love it for a game of football or hide and seek (young children need supervision as there is a fast flowing stream). The owners offer a warm welcome, and there are beautiful walks available from the front door. I would highly recommend this place for anyone looking to escape! We had a great week and will definitely be back.

- Emily, October 2020
Sophie October 2020

“The cottage really was very comfortable and clean, with everything that we needed - having things like dishwasher tablets and tin foil was so handy.”

We both agreed it’s the nicest place we’ve stayed in with Sykes. Cottage is quite remote, although only about 10 mins from Penzance. The surrounding area was so peaceful and quiet, and the garden huge! The hosts were fantastic. Very welcoming and friendly. Only criticism would be the kids high chair has definitely seen better days, a new, cleaner one would be appreciated next time!

- Sophie, October 2020
Paul October 2020

Very warm welcome from the owner, complete with scones cream and strawberry jam, the grounds are a delight and extensive, a very quiet setting

- David, September 2020
Dennis September 2020

“Everything at Boskednan Wartha was very good for us.”

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.

- Dennis, September 2020
Ashley August 2020

“Fantastic holiday home.”

The garden was amazing, and the location meant that there was absolutely no noise - so peaceful! Really convenient for Zennor, St Ives, Penzance and all the southerly beaches. Tiny detail, but maybe the hosts could upgrade the Sky package to include more channels or have Netflix? We only wanted the TV once or twice but would have been nice to have a few options. Otherwise, highly recommended! Hosts were great and very welcoming! We’ll be back - thanks. Oh, make sure you use the full address when using a satnav as we came from St Ives direction and went on a wild goose chase

- Ashley, August 2020
Ben August 2020

Joanna October 2019

“Absolutely beautiful surroundings, with good information in what there is to do in the area.”

Literally a home from home.

- Joanna, October 2019
Emily October 2019

“This was our sixth visit to Boskednaan Wartha, and we've already booked again for next year which shows how much we love it!”

The bungalow is set in beautiful gardens where children can play happily for hours (although care needs to be taken with the river). The property provides everything you need for a relaxing holiday, with a warm welcome from the owners. There is plenty to explore in the local area, with walks from the doorstep and lots of places to visit a short drive away. If the weather is bad then Boskednaan Wartha provides the perfect place to relax indoors.

- Emily, October 2019
Katharine August 2019

“Wow! What a wonderful property.”

Despite it being the summer holidays we felt that we had escaped the chaos completely. The garden is so amazing! The star watching, bats, rabbits, pigs and green space made this a wonderful adventure for both the adults and kids! Thank you x

- Katharine, August 2019
David and Fiona July 2019

“A perfect and very peaceful rural location in the heart of the Cornish countryside .”

A lovely comfortable holiday home and stunning garden which is full of character with a stream and bordering adjacent farmland with farm animals and wildlife in abundance. The hosts were very informative and most hospitable. We particularly enjoyed learning so much about the local area. Within a very short walk there are far reaching views toward the coast. On the nearby moors there are old tin mines and amazing panoramic views. We would highly recommend this holiday home .

- David and Fiona, July 2019
Annetta July 2019

“The cottage was beautiful, especially the gardens and the stream down the side.”

Plenty of fun navigating the typically narrow Cornish roads. Our only minor issue was the Wi-Fi which, although was ok on mobile phones, was no good at all for use on our laptop e.g. streaming video.

- Annetta, July 2019
Doreen June 2019

“Freedom of an extensive garden.”

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.

- Doreen, June 2019
Andrew & Mikayla May 2019

“This pretty bungalow felt like home from home the minute we set foot inside the door.”

The cream tea on arrival was a sensational and had us hooked on cream teas for most of our stay. A beautiful reception hall, leading off to a good sized twin, a single and a huge double room. Beautifully decorated with neutral tones throughout, all the bedrooms had more than enough storage for what you would need. The bathroom was absolutely lovely with a roll top slipper bath, old style high level cistern toilet, large washbasin and large enclosed overhead shower, heated towel rail was an excellent addition. Leading of the hall there was a lovely dining area large fully equipped kitchen with vaulted ceiling and leading off the kitchen and dining room was a large beautiful conservatory. the french doors led off to a massive garden complimented with huge trees and a stream running along side of the entirety of the garden and the property itself. Everything was clean and tidy and we wanted for nothing. The owner was always on hand and very friendly and helpful. When not exploring the beautiful area we spent most of our time in the conservatory. We were looking for a quiet paradise and we found this in spades, we were so impressed before we left we rebooked 2 weeks for the next year. The finishing touches of stunning flowers in the dining room and a perfectly beautiful displays in the bedrooms were a lovely touch. Highly recommended and can't thank the owners enough, see you next year!

- Andrew & Mikayla, May 2019
Christopher May 2019

“We highly recommend this cottage, it is probably the best we have stayed in over many years and look forward to staying again - if we can book in before the many returning guests!”

Just 4 miles from Penzance in the idyllic Cornish countryside, Boskednan Wartha is a very clean, comfortable, generously proportioned and attractively furnished, well equipped bungalow. It sits in beautiful and extensive secluded gardens and the owner Mike Williams is the perfect host. Slept well in the comfortable bed: it is certainly quiet here. Plenty of car parking space.

- Christopher, May 2019
Jennifer May 2019

“The cottage was set in a large and beautiful garden surrounded by gorgeous countryside.”

Our hosts, Michael and Jenny were extremely welcoming and helpful, and even gave us a peek at their new born piglets. It was idyllic.

- Jennifer, May 2019
Dennis April 2019

“It is such a lovely rural location with a stream running through the garden, that has a large grassed area and plenty of plants and shrubs.”

Mr and Mrs Williams are always happy to talk to us, and help us in anyway. This was a perfect place for us and we were happy to leave the cottage in similar state as we found it.

- Dennis, April 2019
Tracy April 2019

“A lovely house - beautiful garden in a remote and tranquil location.”

Perfect to unwind and really relax. The owner has thought of everything, is very helpful and friendly. Very clean and everything you could want for a relaxing holiday. Would highly recommend.

“Nice place very quiet rabbits running around the large garden but did feel that it needed a more careful clean between rentals .”

Bed very soft but that's down to my preference

- David, January 2019
Gary December 2018

“House was amazing and the cream tea on arrival was a very pleasant surprise.”

Hosts were very friendly and helpful. If we had more time we would have loved to stay longer. Coffee machine with complementary coffee pods was fantastic. Good water pressure for a fast bath or great shower. Only negative was the painfully slow WiFi. Very relaxing and beautiful location.

- Gary, December 2018
Angela October 2018

“First impressions extended to second, third and forth ones!”

This cottage has the WOW factor in spades. So many little extras were there to greet us, including a full fruit bowl, fresh flowers, apple juice and a very welcome cream tea all thoughtfully laid out with the cream in the fridge. We have self catered for years and this cottage seems to have taken the best from them all and rolled it into one. Add to that a lovely family, a perfect location for exploring, and the Garden which is just amazing. Mike was very kind to us for which we thank him and if ever we return to this area we would book this cottage again without hesitation. Thank you one and all for such an enjoyable visit.

“We found the whole weeks stay very relaxing, the cottage was in a very good position to be able to visit the whole of Cornwall.”

Michael, one of the owners was very helpful and nothing was too much trouble. The welcoming cream tea, flowers and basic essentials to start off our holiday were a nice touch, which enabled us to just settle in on our arrival. The wildlife in the beautiful large rear garden, with its twists and turns giving a new vista throughout, were lovely to observe each day. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, and, if, holidaying in Cornwall again, we would book Boskednan Wartha without a doubt.

The property

Boskendnan Wartha is a hidden gem offering an exceptional setting, surrounded by mature trees, a gentle stream and rolling countryside yet within easy access to beautiful seaside towns, villages and sandy beaches.

Marazion is just a 15 minute drive, where St Micheal's Mount is a prominent feature, in the other direction is St Ives where bespoke shops, art galleries, sandy beaches and boat trips, a great way of exploring this amazing coastline.

A short drive to the west are the white sands of Sennen Cove, awash with surfers, swimmers and sun worshippers in the summer months it is serene and silent in winter.

This is a delightful holiday destination away from the demands of modern living.

Close to the Atlantic coastline which is rugged and majestically rises up sharply from the ocean.

The cliff tops are wrapped with pretty yellow gorse, indigenous plants and flowers then opens up to pasture where farm animals, mining ruins and ancient stone monuments intersperse this beautiful landscape.

Exploration of the local area by foot, bike or horse is optional but highly recommended.

Charming, cosy and beautifully presented, the interior is warm and welcoming.

The conservatory sitting room allows guests to relax, listen to the wildlife and gaze into the garden or up to the uninterrupted night sky.

With archways linking the sitting room, kitchen and dining room the living accommodation has an airy open plan feel.

The three immaculate bedrooms have high quality furnishings, ornate coving, chandeliers and beautifully made curtains.

A generous size period style bathroom with Edwardian style roll top bath completes the picture.

About the location

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.

Note: All on ground floor however there are internal steps to up to conservatory and one step to kitchen and remainder of property.
