General Info |
|
| |
Here at Boscrowan, in Far West Cornwall, we have two award winning holiday cottages, each with its own character and charm each being unique in its own way. Peace and Plenty is a reversed level barn conversion that sleeps 4. Ring and Thimble is a thatched cottage that offers ample room for two. Both properties benefit from those special things that make any stay at Boscrowan a holiday to remember. This includes the cream tea on arrival in the privacy of your own cottage, the local apple juice in the fridge, the freshly cut flowers and the high quality of soft furnishings and décor throughout. Imagine going on holiday to a property furnished in the way you would aspire to have your own, far from the office or the endless chores of our daily lives. That is why any stay at Boscrowan relaxes you the moment you arrive. |

Interior Details |
Ring & Thimble offers a truly unique property. Purposefully spacious, the living area and bedroom offer very roomy and comfortable accommodation. For those relaxing nights in, make full use of the beautiful bespoke wood kitchen with granite worktops and an oil fired Aga. Or curl up on the drop end Chesterfield sofa or comfortable armchairs in front of the multi fuel burner and watch TV or a DVD. French windows lead to the secluded brick-paved patio area with granite table and chairs. The ash staircase from the living area leads to the bedroom with a glittering chandelier above the half tester 6ft double bed with beautiful embroidered silk drapes, and an area for sitting and contemplating at one end of the room! Across the landing is the bathroom with travertine floor, roll top bath, separate shower cubicle, wash hand basin and WC. The kitchen is well equipped and there is a separate utility room.

Further Details |
Fine examples of beaches are Porthcurno, Sennen Cove, St Ives and Marazion. From Marazion, visit the spectacular St Michael's Mount, an island twice a day, and reached by a causeway when the tide is out. Boscrowan is a 25 acre small holding, with mainly grassland and growing several acres of early daffodils. You are welcome to wander around our land. We do not have any commercial livestock, just horses, ducks, chickens and our two cats and collie dogs, all of whom are welcoming and friendly and respond well to a friendly pat or stroke. We suggest children come equipped with wellington boots to help collect eggs, feed the cats and dogs and in summer help us look after the chicks and ducklings. Many of our guests have returned year after year. We have won a number of Cornwall Tourism Awards receiving a highly commended in 2002 and 2004, Bronze Awards in 2005 and 2006 and a Silver Award in 2008. 2009 saw our best year ever with a Gold in the Cornwall Tourism Awards and a second Gold in the South West England Tourism Excellence Awards. We also have achieved Gold in the Green Tourism Business Scheme in both 2008 and 2009.

What visitors have said about Ring & Thimble |
| |
| |
Thank you for providing the perfect holiday, what a wonderful haven Ring and Thimble is, true peace and tranquillity. It’s our sixth consecutive year of coming here now and I still can’t get enough. No other holiday has matched the way we feel about this place and I pretty much guess nowhere else ever will. As I wrote back in 2006, Ring and Thimble is exquisite bliss.

It was September 2005 when we began our ‘affair’ with Ring and Thimble. Over the years I feel we have become part of her history, her story of making people happy. Some of us looking for peace and quiet, some looking to celebrate a special day, and all of us realising just how lucky we are to be part of her ongoing journey. See you next year!

This has been our first visit to Boscrowan – what a find! The cottage is everything, and more, that you could wish for but it’s the personal touches which make it something special. Boscrowan more than lives up to its expectations and we will definitely return.
