Bolankan View

As a Mum, I have a few things on a wishlist for a holiday cottage and we've never quite been able to achieve all these things in one property, until we stayed at Bolkanan Vw! It was very clean, well decorated, maintained and good furniture/fixtures & fittings, Had two very powerful showers, Good washer & dryer, no overwhelming damp smell, plenty of easy parking, very well equipped kitchen, WiFi. Useable garden with linen line. We had a beautiful home made loaf on arrival and home made jam and scones (best I've ever had, even better than my Mum's!). If we were the type of people to rebook the same place every year, would absolutely rebook here, no questions! It is actually very good value for money compared to other cottages, it's just it's a lot of money for a staycation for a family but that is Cornwall for you! You could easily pay a lot more for a lot less! So in essence, really great property... Pretty faultless to be honest! Thank you!...

We had a fantastic week at Bolankan (two adults, two children plus dog). The cottage is just like the photos, very clean, comfortable and nicely decorated. We arrived to freshly baked home-made bread and scones which was a real treat. The beds were very comfortable, and thanks to the underfloor heating there was no mould in the bathrooms which is very rare in Cornwall! The kitchen very well-equipped and has the best oven and hob I have come across in a holiday cottage. The owners were friendly but not intrusive, and you could tell that they had put a lot of effort into ensuring a high standard of accommodation - even including age-appropriate toys and books for our children. I have been staying in Cornish holiday cottages for 20 years and this is one of the best - highly recommended....

This cottage is exactly as the description. It’s a well location to visit the different places of Cornwall. And the welcome is very friendly with a discreet but effective presence.

We spent 4 weeks at the location from the middle of May to middle of June. We found happiness and peace outside of time and space, a place to feel at home, cottage and hosts make it easy for guests to feel welcome at once. Sunsets on the front terrace were great. There is enough space for 2 more visitors (we were 2 adults and a dog). Our hosts were so friendly and caring, helpful, and sympathetic. We got detailed insider advice before every trip we planned. We felt immersed in many aspects. Daily strawberries were provided in the Village shop 5 minutes away opened 7 days a week, superb organic food is sold at the Trevaskis Farm Market a 10-minute drive away on the way to the beach. We had wonderful bicycle tours, but roads sometimes are rather steep. There was an endless supply of breath-taking panoramas at the Coast Path and spectacular sights of cliffs, water and nature where we hiked almost daily. The location is great with three coasts easily accessible within half an hour – and still quiet and remote. Our Border Collie had to sleep upstairs in the cottage apart from us but got used to it. The well maintained, enclosed garden gave him shady resting places. He loved to play at Godrevy beach (only 15 minutes’ drive) where dogs are not banned before July 1st. The hosts are VERY dog friendly!...

With everything going on in the world at this time, the peace at Bolankan was so welcome. It is a fantastic position for getting to both coasts and other tourist locations.
