About Old Boswednack
Old Boswednack is just a few minutes' drive or 15 minute flat walk from Zennor and if you fancied some fabulous food and drink at The Gurnard's Head it would take all of 5 minutes' walk across two fields! The beauty of Old Boswednack's location is that you are spoilt for choice for coastal walks along the South West Coastal Path or head to the moors and take in the historical charms of Bodrifty's Iron Age Round House settlement, Nine Maidens standing stones, Mên-an-Tol not to mention Lanyon Quoit, Mulfra Quoit and Chun Quoit. Old Boswednack is a delightful, beautifully furnished, single storey, barn conversion on the west coast of Cornwall. Due to its rural location the dark skies offer spectacular displays of stars and galaxies which means it is equally attractive by day or night.
It is a granite building which has been decorated using some wonderful reclaimed materials used to create a warm and welcoming charm in almost every room. There is an open plan living, dining and kitchen area offering a togetherness we all want when relaxing on holiday. In the heart of the room is a wood burner which takes the chill off any time of day as it's so easy to light with a free supply of logs available. It successfully creates a glowing warmth and coziness when all you want to do is watch a good film or read a book one evening.
There are two bedrooms where the king size bedroom has a small en-suite shower with wc and wash basin and looks out onto the garden. The twin room is at the other end of the house just off the living area with two single beds, bespoke made shelving and open wardrobe.The family bathroom is between both bedrooms with a bath and shower over, wash basin and wc plus the added luxury of a heated towel rail and charms of reclaimed wood used to create some character even in the bathroom.The house has electric central heating with radiators in all rooms.
With the Spring and Summer comes the desire to open up all the doors and enjoy the enclosed garden with its paved area, colourful and fragrant borders around a manicured lawn and the wildlife surrounding the small pond. Don't worry if you have a dog that would gleefuly dive into the pond, we provide a pond cover for those eventualities!
The 'Shack' is a wooden summer house which offers a contrast to the main house with subtle, calming tones designed to create a peaceful place to read, paint, do yoga, sew or simply snooze to the sounds of chirruping birds and buzzing bees. Inside you have a small kitchen area built with reclaimed pallets which has a fridge and mini freezer, a microwave, a kettle and a sink with hot and cold water. You also have a loo with wash basin so no need to nip to the main house!
This typical West Cornwall barn conversion is perfect for couples visiting the area with or without a dog and older families (accepting children from 8yrs and up) and short breaks are always welcome outside of busy school holiday weeks.
Please note, there is no phone reception at Old Boswednack so you will need to enable WiFi calling on your mobile phones. There is a landline provided for emergency calls only.

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.

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.

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*!
