Beautiful cottage in stunning location
We have just returned from a week in beautiful, well equipped Melbourne cottage. Spotlessly clean and nicely furnished. Perfect location at the top of the village with a wonderful ‘sitting out’ place.
Parking spots in Boscastle also proved super helpful. The contact with the owner has been effortless and efficient! We have already booked another week this year and two next year!
Lovely cottage, very clean and well equipped, great location.
We had a lovely week at Melbourne cottage and were blessed with great weather for March. Everything went smoothly before we arrived and access was easy. The kitchen was very well equipped and the cottage as a whole very comfortable and warm. The walk back up from the lovely village centre was a bit strenuous at first, but by the 4th time we were flying up! The Napoleon is a bit closer and a lovely pub with good food, real fire and great beer. The Boscastle Boyz perform most Tuesdays, it was great to listen and occasionally sing along to their shanties.
We would happily book again. Thanks Carole and Andy
Wish we’d had longer!
Perfect really! Really well equipped pretty little cottage with everything you need and want. Great views over Boscastle. Parking. BBQ.
Really loved watching the Bats whizz up and down the lane in the evening, or sitting in the bath watching it get dark and the village lights coming on. Really feels like you’ve gone back in time it’s so relaxing and peaceful. Only a 10 minute lovely walk down to the village and harbour. Had some lovely walks on the coastal path, watching the sunset from harbour and finding Minster Church. Great base also for Tintagel, and The Camel Trail for a scenic bike ride. Will be back as just didn’t have enough time to see and do everything we would have liked, you can totally relax but also so many things to discover! Thankyou!
Amazing stay
We stayed at the cottage 18th May for one week and wished we had booked for longer and also for later in the year. The cottage was spotless, very comfortable, everything needed from a home from home stay. The patio was clean, tidy and we enjoyed sitting out in the evening sun. Will definitely be booking again, soon. Carole was very helpful when booking the property, a perfect host. The housekeeping team are a credit to Carole. Thank you for an amazing week.

Another great stay at Melbourne Cottage.
We’ve been visiting Boscastle regularly for many years, staying in various self-catering properties before finding this lovely cottage in 2016 where we’ve stayed ever since (this was our tenth stay!). We stayed for two weeks over Christmas and truly love the cottage. Carole and Andy are supreme hosts and dealing directly with them makes the whole booking process incredibly easy. The cottage is comfortable, wonderfully warm in winter, well equipped and fantastically situated and the housekeeping team always ensure it is sparkling clean ready for arrival. Staying in this cottage is a joy and we can’t wait to return again and again.
