About this property

Wain Cottage is a spacious two bedroom house located in a tiny hamlet overlooking the rugged coastline between Tintagel and Boscastle. The cottage enjoys lovely views of sea and rolling countryside. Accessed by a private road, it feels ‘off the beaten track’ yet Tintagel is only 2 miles away. The cottage has full central heating by propane gas (included in the price). There is a wood burning stove with a basket of logs supplied. There are beams throughout the cottage and full double glazed doors and windows. All in all, a comfortable and cosy place to spend a peaceful and relaxed holiday. The cottage garden is fully enclosed and in fine weather is ideal to sit out in and enjoy. If you like self-catering you will not be disappointed with the facilities; if you prefer to eat out there are many local restaurants, pubs and tea rooms.

Beautiful spot

The cottage was in a beautiful spot with views of the sea and in a quiet hamlet. It was much bigger than we had expected and really felt like a home away from home. It was wonderful to experience a real English cottage. Everything we could have wanted was available and we especially appreciated the washer and dryer.

Quaint stay near Tintagel

We arrived after a long drive to this quaint cottage. It sits outside of town in rolling hills with a partial view of the coastline. We felt the ocean view was a little overstated by the description and past reviews, but it is beautiful if you find the right spot upstairs in the twin bedroom or from the neighbor’s lawn out front. But it’s a beautiful area and we were glad to stay here for five nights. The back yard is relaxing with a rustic picnic table. The beds are very comfortable. The heating and hot water were timed and worked out well for us. Kitchen is well stocked albeit a little unique with the way appliances are arranged, but we understand space is limited. Area rugs in living room looked like new and added to the cozy feeling with the wood burning stove, especially on the one day it rained. Some of the covered furniture and pillows did feel like they should be updated and/or deep cleaned. Overall there were a few areas we felt that could be cleaner, the entrance & kitchen rug, carpeted rooms and corners were some of our first impressions. Perhaps we were the first to stay there in some time early in the season. The hosts provided a couple excellent restaurant suggestions. We ate at Cobweb once, Port William twice. We would add Tintagel’s own The Olde Malthouse where we had excellent service and some of our favorite food of the entire trip. Overall it was a pleasant stay and handy location for exploring the coast for what the total cost was.

Scenic Quiet

We enjoyed the rural aspect of Wain’s Cottage, its interior - parts of which reflect a much earlier time in history, and the beautiful sunsets over the ocean. The house had significant space on the lower level with plenty of comfortable places to sit and the amenities like TV, WIFI, and washer/dryer worked very well. The upstairs space was as described in the listing. We had issue with a disagreeable odor in the towels and the host said she will check into it.

Ein schöner Ort um zur Ruhe zu kommen

Das Wain Cottage. mit seinem Blick auf den Atlantik und die Nähe zum Costpath und der liebevollen und gemütlichen Innen- und Außengestaltung ist ein Ort an dem man zur Ruhe kommt und sich wohl fühlt und damit die besten Voraussetzungen zur Erholung bietet! Einzig, dass man leider immer ins Auto steigen muss, auch wenn es nur kurze Strecken sind, ist etwas schade.

Magical Tintagel

We had a lovely stay for a week in the cottage. The cottage was very well equipped and the owners were very helpful with any questions before our stay. It is very near Tintagel with all the magical places to visit including, Boscastle, Port Issac and Bodmin Moor.

Ruhiges kleines Cottage

Die Anfahrt zum Cottage ist abenteuerlich. Nach drei Speed Humps erwartete uns ein sehr schönes Ambiente. Sehr liebevoll war der Empfang mit greetings und Keksen. Wir hatten unsere Liegestühle dabei und haben es nicht bereut, da der Garten wunderbar zum lesen und ausruhen ist. In der Umgebung befindet sich vieles zum besichtigen und zum erwandern. Der Rundweg vom Haus aus zum nahe gelegenen Wasserfall ist sehr zu empfehlen. Tintagel selbst ist sehr touristisch . Der Sweets Shop und der Premier bieten das notwendigste. Sehr zu empfehlen !

Wonderful stay in a dream cottage

A Cornish Escape.

A lovely little cottage and an ideal base from which to explore the North Cornish coastal area. It is in a remote location which is ideal for a quiet escape, but is nevertheless only a 10 minute drive from Tintagel where you can get the essential groceries etc.

Found Wain Cottage with no problem at all, great location for exploring the north coast of Cornwall, as of the Cottage, well what can I say, lovely place, very quiet even though there’s a quarry near by, you don’t hear a peep, very spacious, very warm, everything you need is there, a very home from home, would most certainly book again.

Needs thorough cleaning

Superb location. The property could be great if it was given some attention. It clearly needs upgrading and thorough cleaning. Cobwebs covered in dust under every radiator and on ceilings, also in the bedroom cupboards where the blankets are stored. The sofas are very uncomfortable (I could not sit on them at all during the stay) and the covers need upgrading. The toilet has been set on a sloping floor making it uncomfortable to use. Overall the cottage was well equipped and the heating was efficient but for the above reasons we were disappointed with our stay.

About the host

Hosted by Mrs S E Mumford

As a family we are based in Bristol. For many years we have enjoyed spending self-catering holidays with our two children, often in Cornwall. We love the coast of North Cornwall with its dramatic cliffs and secluded beaches. The weather can be unpredictable (sometimes April, May and June are best), but if it is cloudy near us it will often be sunny elsewhere. We try to maintain Wain Cottage as a home from home, so that you really can self-cater if you want to and are comfortable during your stay. It is our second home and we look forward to returning to spend our holidays there.

Why they chose this property

Wain Cottage is set in a fine position on a hillside with views of the Cornish coast between Tintagel and Boscastle. The cottage was converted from a nineteenth century slate-built barn in the 1980s. For the last 15 years it has been available to let as a holiday home and maintained to a high standard. We bought Wain Cottage in 2012 to use for our own family holidays, and also to be available for those who love the wild and rugged coast of North Cornwall. Several fine beaches are only a few minutes' drive away. Wain Cottage is set in its own private location in a small hamlet yet it is close to all amenities. Access via the A30 or A39 means you are never too far from bigger towns and popular visitor attractions.

What makes this property unique

The coast of North Cornwall is wonderful for walking and we have footpaths starting right from the door of Wain Cottage. We are a mile by road from Rocky Valley and the sea at Bossiney Haven. You are then on the South West Coast Path with fine cliff-top walks to Tintagel or to Boscastle.
