Holiday Rental Description

Holiday home
Jordan House, a stylish semi-detached family home in the heart of the picturesque village of Boscastle. Filled with character and set over three levels, this historic property has a small enclosed courtyard garden to the front, from which there are long views over the valley beyond. Entering on the ground floor, the smart Shaker-style kitchen/dining room has a large pine table and chairs. The living room has big sofas and an open fire. From the hall, stairs lead to two bedrooms – a double with TV, and a twin, both with views over the courtyard garden and the surrounding hills. The elegant family bathroom has a roll top bath and checkerboard floor. On the lower ground floor is a shower-room and useful utility room. From Jordan House, the historic harbour, Museum of Witchcraft and many interesting local potteries and art galleries are in walking distance. Much of the surrounding landscape and coastline is National Trust owned, scenery so impressive it is said to have been an inspiration to novelist Thomas Hardy.

Accomodation Details
Ground Floor: Lounge. Kitchen/Diner. Lower Ground Floor Shower Room with shower, WC and washbasin. Utility Room. First Floor: Bedroom 1 with double bed. Bedroom 2 with twin beds. Bathroom with bath, hand shower, WC and washbasin.

Area
A Cornish village, Boscastle has shops, restaurants and pubs serving food. Cliff tops, rocky coves, surf, open fields and wildlife fill the area. The coastal footpath passes through scenery whilst the beaches of Bossiney, Trebarwith Strand and Crackington Haven are within 5 miles. The surfing beaches at Bude and Polzeath are also accessible. Nearby is Tintagel, boasting stately homes and gardens, or the open space of Bodmin Moor, famous for its granite tors and Daphne Du Maurier’s Jamaica Inn.

Region
Cornwall's visitors are constantly tempted back to the beautiful coastline, tiny fishing villages, hidden coves and the world-class surfing. Whatever the reason, Cornwall has long cemented its place as one of Britain's premier holiday destinations.

This is lovely cottage and very well presented. The house manager was very helpful and we arrived to a lovely cream tea and a beautiful bunch of cornish flowers. We did not encounter any of the issues previous guests had reported and if we returned to Boscastle we would definitely book this cottage again.

You really need to see this property yourselves before advertising it.. It is extremely run down and neglected. We had to buy cleaning equipment to clean the cupboards in the kitchen before putting any food in them. We had a few issues such as no clothes airer (although we had expected an outside washing line) the TV upstairs did not work and the batteries in the remote had rotted away, the lights in the utility room in the basement did not work at all so we could not see how to use the washing machine. Sarah, the caretaker did respond quickly when we contacted her but when we left the lights still were not working. There were dirty marks on the walls, the radiators were all dirty and dusty, there was dust everywhere and it was very difficult to try to relax in this environment. On the day we left I stripped the double bed, which is what we normally do when we leave a property, and was sickened by the state of the mattress cover. I wish I had seen it on the day we arrived because I would not have slept on it. My husband slept in the twin room and I didn't strip that bed so don't know what state the cover was in. I will be forwarding photos separately. We do have 3 cottage holidays every year, often in Devon/Cornwall and have stayed in old, traditional houses many times but there is no excuse for this level of dirt and neglect.

Extremely disappointed in the cottage - very neglected, run down and dirty. Cupboards had spilled coffee and grease in them and had to be cleaned before putting food away. Chipped paintwork, grime and dirty marks on walls, no lights in lower floor utility room so could not see to use washing machine, mattress cover filthy.

Although parking is available on the street near Jordan House this is very limited and the road is very narrow.. Some of the neighbours are also a little possessive about what they perceive to be ‘their’ space. We discovered that Boscastle car park was free overnight (between 5pm and 10am) and decided to leave our car there each evening. Please be aware that it is a steep walk uphill to the cottage from the car park so this would not suit everyone. Apart from that one issue we loved the cottage and the area.

We had no hot water .. . no bath which was a feature (roll top) No saucepans ( xmas dinner was cooked with borrowed pans ) No heating for last 3 days.. ( we have now got flu) Shared access at the front of property was not told about this ( we have a dog so did next door) When we booked property you send emails to wrong address therefore we couldn’t cancel insurance .. ( we had our own) Paying for gas that we didn’t use is a complete joke Therefore we request some kind of compensation for our ruined Christmas ... and will not be using Sykes again

No towels, -- -- had to buy some, but would like to stay here again.. The separate big kitchen with it's own door and big table, allowed one person to use the TV room / lounge, and the other to use the kitchen or the bedroom with it's own TV and interesting village "back-ends" view. - This, and the two separate WCs, made it ideal for two (to three) people who "enjoy their own space" !

This was one of the most enjoyable holidays! The cottage is lovely, had everything we could need and was lovely and tidy plenty of kitchen space and great that we could control the heating. The area is great with plenty to do and with shops cafes and pubs near by! Thank you for a lovely stay.

The cottage is a lovely and in a good location to walk down to Boscastle centre.. Sarah the house manager was brilliant, we had recently got married and she went out of her way to get us a bottle of prosecco and chocolates as a welcome gift.

Cottage was lovely, much bigger than expected.. Drain/blockage issues which were reported by previous occupant where fixed straight away. Parking by the cottage was on a tight road, however we had no issues and always managed to find space near the cottage. The housekeeper Sarah was lovely, even sent us an item back to use which we had left by mistake.

The only thing that you should perhaps mention is the gradient of hill from Boscastle harbour to the property, although it wasn't an issue for myself and wife anyone with health issues may find it a bit of a climb.. Apart from that we had a lovely holiday very calm and relaxing thank you.

Housekeeper (Sarah) was at the cottage as we arrived and she made us feel very welcome..

Being half way up the hill, it was a good location for all the local pubs.. Cottage well decorated and ideal for four people although second bedroom a little compact for two adults.

Beautiful cottage in a lovely setting, a cosy home from home, would certainly book to stay here again..
