Leave ReviewBeautiful cottage in stunning location
By Angela on 11-May-2025We have just returned from a week in beautiful, well equipped Melbourne cottage. Spotlessly clean and nicely furnished. Perfect location at the top of the village with a wonderful ‘sitting out’ place. Parking spots in Boscastle also proved super helpful. The contact with the owner has been effortless and efficient! We have already booked another week this year and two next year! Angela
Lovely cottage, very clean and well equipped, great location.
By Chris and Lisa on 26-Mar-2025We had a lovely week at Melbourne cottage and were blessed with great weather for March. Everything went smoothly before we arrived and access was easy. The kitchen was very well equipped and the cottage as a whole very comfortable and warm. The walk back up from the lovely village centre was a bit strenuous at first, but by the 4th time we were flying up! The Napoleon is a bit closer and a lovely pub with good food, real fire and great beer. The Boscastle Boyz perform most Tuesdays, it was great to listen and occasionally sing along to their shanties. We would happily book again. Thanks Carole and Andy
Wish we’d had longer!
By Ed, Rachel and Girls on 02-Sep-2024Perfect really! Really well equipped pretty little cottage with everything you need and want. Great views over Boscastle. Parking. BBQ. Really loved watching the Bats whizz up and down the lane in the evening, or sitting in the bath watching it get dark and the village lights coming on. Really feels like you’ve gone back in time it’s so relaxing and peaceful. Only a 10 minute lovely walk down to the village and harbour. Had some lovely walks on the coastal path, watching the sunset from harbour and finding Minster Church. Great base also for Tintagel, and The Camel Trail for a scenic bike ride. Will be back as just didn’t have enough time to see and do everything we would have liked, you can totally relax but also so many things to discover! Thankyou!
Another Great Stay at Melbourne Cottage
By Chris Phil Newnham on 06-Jan-2024We’ve been visiting Boscastle regularly for many years, staying in various self-catering properties before finding this lovely cottage in 2016 where we’ve stayed ever since (this was our tenth stay!). We stayed for two weeks over Christmas and truly love the cottage. Carole and Andy are supreme hosts and dealing directly with them makes the whole booking process incredibly easy. The cottage is comfortable, wonderfully warm in winter, well equipped and fantastically situated and the housekeeping team always ensure it is sparkling clean ready for arrival. Staying in this cottage is a joy and we can’t wait to return again and again.
Cosy cottage, fabulous location
By Charlotte Andy and Daniel Parker on 02-Sep-2023We loved our stay here and wish it had been longer. Booking was easy – Carole was helpful and quick to reply to messages.The cottage was spotlessly clean on our arrival with welcome treats waiting for us. Boscastle has always been one of our favourite places to visit so it was wonderful to be able to stroll down to the harbour or out to Willapark lookout. There were days when we didn’t use the car at all. With such easy access to the coast path and various other places we love to visit, the location was perfect. Thank you for a lovely stay, we very much hope we can return next year.
A Little Gem in Boscastle
By Hannah Vincent on 09-Aug-2022We stayed at the cottage for a week and we loved it. We’ve often been disappointed with holiday rentals but not this time. The cottage is in a lovely location with views over the village. It was spotlessly clean on arrival and there was a welcome pack awaiting us consisting of some local cider, biscuits etc. It was very well equipped and the furnishings weren’t tatty or well used as they sometimes can be! I would thoroughly recommend this place.
