Old Boswednack

We had such a memorable stay at Old Boswednack, the accommodation, garden and area were beautiful and we felt right at home. We particularly enjoyed the garden room on the sunny days we had. You're in walking distance to the south west coastal path, along with 2 nice pubs. It's close to St Ives too, but far enough away for it to feel peaceful and away from the crowds. We were sad to leave and would love to return, as would our dog!

Comfortable, well equipped, and in a good location for exploring the coast path. Really enjoyed our stay.

It was a great stay in Old Boswednack ! A very god komunikation! It was the best holiday ever!

I don't write reviews but decided to take the time to write this one. Old Boswednack is a stunning cottage just outside Zennor. Has everything you need for a holiday in Cornwall. The cottage was neat, tidy and clean and we loved the decor which gave the cottage a homely feel. While you could change the heating or use the log fire on cold nights, we didn't find the need as the cottage was always just right. Beds were comfy (even the singles) and bedding was warm and more than sufficient for a wet and windy October. The Orange Roofs app has all the information you need on the cottage and the area. All in all, a fabulous little cottage and while it is quite secluded (which worked well for my reactive dog), Penzance and all the main supermarkets are a 20 minute drive away. I will definitely be going back.

We had a beautiful stay in Cornwall staying in the lovely Old Boswednack. Great location for St Ives , beautiful landscapes and sea views. Perfect for dogs, secure and accident friendly. Clean and comfortable with a great kitchen. I will hopefully be back next year and beyond

Amazing cottage. Really clean, well equipped and of high standard. Beautiful location with lots of lovely walks from the door step. Orange Roof was very responsive and helpful. Can't recommend enough.

We had a lovely stay at Old Boswednack. The cottage was perfect with lots of space and perfect enclosed gardens for the dogs and us to enjoy. We enjoyed going to the Tinners Arms in Zennor for a meal which is about a 20 minute walk away, went the other way to the Gurnards Head once but not as impressed. Can't fault anything as we had everything you need, just need to be aware that a shop is about 20 mins away either way, to St Just or St Ives. Would definitely return.

A beautiful place to stay!

We had a lovely stay in boswednack near st Ives. A really nice place in a beautiful part of the world. Our rescue dog got on well in the area as well, enjoying the quiet evenings.

We had a 2nd great stay at Old Boswedneck, it is a lovely place, situated in a very rural area, which we really enjoyed. For us it has great proximity to Sennen Cove, with its great sandy beach and fabulous waves. The fact that the cottage has both washing machine and dryer was great for us to deal with our wet suits etc. Also, when the weather was bad we went to visit a Geevor mine which was very interesting and well worth a visit. Definitely coming back!

My dog and I had the most wonderful 5 days stay at Old Boswednack in March. It was welcoming, tidy, out of the way, with plenty of secure outside space to allow him a good sniff and explore. The facilities were ideal and the doggy provisions very thoughtful. Being within a short driving distance from St Ives, Penzance, and plenty of other great spots, it provided a comfortable centre point to explore in all directions without being on the road for too long. (Especially welcome after a 7 hour drive from Cambridge). The well equipped kitchen, comfortable sofa, large bath, and wood burning stove provided welcome luxury to relax and unwind after action packed days exploring. We hope we can stay again next year!

Old Boswednack is an absolute gem. In a gorgeous remote location it's an easy walk to the coast path (and some fabulous sunsets), The Gurnards Head (the location and the pub!), and just a bit further to get to Zennor in the other direction. Penzance and St. Ives are both very accessible by car. We've loved exploring the area and just hanging out with a cosy fire and dinner we've cooked in the well-equipped kitchen. The summer house is a great place to sit and read and almost makes it feel like two homes for the price of one! As an added bonus, the team at Orange Roofs are so helpful and responsive. They think of everything so you don't have to. Peaceful, relaxing, homely and quite simply a gorgeous place to spend some time.

Our vacation was very nice, Old Boswednack is beautifully furnished with style, there is everything you need. Very clean. The organization with Orangeroofs is perfect, we have never had such a comprehensive and informative booking. Nothing could really go wrong. Highly recommended! Thanks a lot!

We have had a great time in this appartment. It is perfect to relax and good to start to severeal Cornish Highlights. It is a short walk to the the trail along the clips over the beach. The kitchen has all you want for cooking, great.

Beautiful and amazing, great service. We went with our girls 5 and 7 and they loved it

Old Boswednack is beautiful. Very private, warm, comfortable, lovely atmosphere and decor. Sociable living area. Really light and gorgeous garden and summer house. Good phone signal for us, wifi fast enough for zoom calls, good water pressure. Easy drive into st ives or Penzance and useful info on local walks and nearest beaches.

Had a great time. Really nice warm cottage well positioned in the countryside.

One of the best properties, we have stayed in and hoping to return next year.
Well equipped, comfortable, immaculate and an ideal location to explore the many beaches, Cornwall has to offer.
Would highly recommend.

Lovely place. Had a lovely week here. Accommodation perfect for family of 4 and doggie. We'll equipped comfortable. Loved the summer house we used on evenings. Walks to zennor over fields for cafe and pub and also to the gunnard head. Both pubs great . Lovely coastal walks on door step and even caught the bus outside to st ives and back. Will def stay again if in the area. 

Beautiful property , perfectly equipped, peaceful, charming didn't want to leave!

We loved our stay and hope to return, I appreciate that those with pets may need extra cleaning however we left the place in immaculate order so I think 50 is rather a lot , having said that I appreciate others may not !

Old B provided the perfect retreat for our holiday, which sadly turned out to be during the worst week of the summer - lashing rain, storms and gale-force winds. Firstly we were most impressed by the helpful, clear communication from the Orange Roofs team, before, during, and at the end of our stay. Thank you. The accommodation is well laid-out and easy to keep clean. It is also very well-equipped (although egg cups would be a useful addition!). The beds and bedding are comfortable and warm, and bathrooms provide very hot (possibly too much so) water for showers and baths. The tumble dryer proved exceedingly useful each time we got drenched! Although it was too wet for us to use the annexe much, it's a wonderful space, and a reader's paradise. Reassuring too for us was the safe garden area for our dog. Most particularly useful to us was the fact that the bus stop is right outside the house, providing the best method of transport into St Ives or down towards Land's End. Despite the awful weather we thoroughly enjoyed our experience at Old B.

We loved Old Boswesnack - the accommodation is smartly finished, beautifully maintained and with the extra studio, was flexible and worked really well for our family. This location is further down the coast then we had stayed previously and we absolutely will return. It is fascinating, the walks are superb, with hidden coves, lighthouses and dramatic cliffs. It was also an easy place to explore from and the village, Zennor is charming - highly recommend.

Really enjoyed staying here. Nicely presented and very clean accommodation that had all the facilities needed. Loved sitting in the garden shack in the evenings which was very relaxing and quiet. It was very easy staying here with our dog who enjoyed the garden also. The local area has two easy to access pubs and cafe in Zennor village. St Ives is only six miles away by car or a bus also stops just out on the main road which is useful as parking can be very busy in st Ives at times. Marazion and Penzance are also fairly close to drive to. Would definitely recommend this lovely place for a relaxing break. Communication from Orange roofs was excellent from start to finish. Very professional and helpful throughout..

Lovely, cosy rural hideaway within reach of St. Ives and a good base for exploring the wider Penwith Peninsula. Spotlessly clean and well equipped for self-catering, though we highly recommend booking at The Gurnard's Head for a special meal. Loved the open plan living space and the grassed area in front of the summerhouse. Communication from Orange Roofs was excellent, and we would not hesitate to stay here again.

We loved this cottage. It was perfect in size, layout and functionality for 2 adults, a baby and a dog. The only thing stopping us immediately booking again is that it's on the main road, so you can't just walk out with the dog and buggy so wasn't ideal for our needs in that way, but will definitely be back in the future when the kid is older and easier to shove in a car! Lots of lovely walks nearby if just for you or with a dog though, we just couldn't get a buggy on the coastal walks! For dog owners - the garden is fully enclosed so no need to worry there, we felt perfectly safe letting out mad hound out in the garden unattended. The owners had left firewood for the extremely cosy fire and we used this several times and it really made our day on the more blustery wet days. Quite often you find places charge stupid amounts for this pleasure so this little touch was really appreciated! The team at Orange Roofs were also really helpful with any queries we had, and even went out their way to volunteer information of local events which was lovely of them (thanks Torrie!).

Great accommodation with everything you need. Great if you are wanting to explore Cornwall but be prepared to drive. Perfect for us returners when we already knew the best spots to see!

An ideal rural location close to St Ives . The accommodation has plenty of space with two bathrooms. A well equipped kitchen and lounge. With a dishwasher and washing machine ideal for couples or families.

We stayed at Old Boswednack in Sept 2020 and chose to return again this June. The accommodation is very well equipped and immaculately clean. The proximity to Zennors beautiful coast and the lovely Tinners Arms were also a big draw. The booking process and pre- stay information from Orange Roofs made the trip very easy. Would highly recommend this property for anyone who loves Cornwall and coast walking.

Beautiful property in an amazing location.

Old Boswednack is a lovely renovated piggery a mile or so out of Zennor. It's warm and cosy with plenty of space in the living area to cook, chill and chat. The garden is a lovely place to sit and chat with coffee in the morning or a glass of wine in the evening - or stroll over the Gunnards Pub for a drink and watch the sunset. Zennor is a lovely walk along the coast away for lunch at the cafe or pub. If you are feeling like a longer walk , St Ives is 6 miles along the same coastal path. Within easy drive are a number of beatifull gardens, the pick of which for us was Tremenheere Sculpture Gardens. Surfing beaches at Sennen are about 12 miles down the coast. We couldn't fault anything and had a thoroughly enjoyable week, even though Covid restrictions meant outside dining was not available - we just had our romantic evenings in Old Boswednack.

We had a lovely stay at Old Boswednack - house was perfect for a family of four with the added bonus of the summer house which is very calming and perfect for reading, yoga or getting away from everything. Zennor is a stunning area. The coastal path is on your door step with brilliant walks and the added bonus of two fab pubs down the road. We loved our trip to St Ives, Minack Theatre and Cape Cornwall. Sam & Ross were super helpful and responsive and run a first class service for their guests.

One of the best cottages we have stayed in! Love the open plan living area and also the summer house. Within walking distance of coaast path and driving distance of many interesting resorts. We had some rotten weather but were warm and cosy Used the summer house for painting and reading

Perfect setting, within easy walking of 2 lovely Pubs. Coastal walks were great and accommodation very comfortable. Sun somewhere in garden most of the time. Particularly liked the Shack

We'd originally booked Old Boswednack for a 3 day stay in March but had to cancel due to the Covid lockdown, so we were delighted to be able to get whole week in July instead The property was very clean and well presented and the garden areas were beautifully planted and had sun all through the day. Off street parking a real bonus. Location excellent for walking. Tinners Arms in Zennor 20 mins walk across the fields and the Gurnards Head likewise in the other direction but sadly it only opened the day we left. Orange roofs were great to deal with and they quickly sorted a failed light. We will return!

Our first time staying at Old Boswednack and it won't be our last. Such a wonderful cosy cottage. Perfect location in our favourite area. Facilities were first class as was the service provided by Orange Roofs (again first time we have used you). Top marks.

Great service from the minute we booked and loved Old Boswednack in Cornwall, we had a great week away. Thank you

Hi Thank you for wonderful stay at Old Boswednack. The cottage has everything needed for a relaxing break. Very clean and comfortable with lovely staff who are very helpful. We felt very much at home. We enjoyed the coastal footpath walks and sunsets from Zennor. We will definitely use Orange Roofs again. Thank you from the McHugh family.

We stayed here for our mini moon and it was perfect! The home is so well done (we are very picky so trust me when I say it's lovely!!!) and it has absolutely everything you'd need. Everything is thought of, you'd be able to stay here forever!!! The location is ideal, it's picturesque but also an easy drive to St Ives, Sennen, Lands End etc. You can also do an amazing coastal walk straight from the front door. The garden is perfect, I loved that it was secure for our pup which is a MASSIVE tick for all dog owners as you can open either one of the doors and know they'll be safe. Huge thank you to the Old B for being ideal for a costal Cornwall escape, 5*!
