Rooms

To visit Bosinver is a little like going back in time offering a secure, laid back village atmosphere. There is nothing laid back however, when it comes to luxury holiday cottages, Bosinver has it covered; from eco homes to carefully converted former farmhouses, the 4* or 5* star cottages have been individually designed with luxury in mind.

The fabulous child-friendly cottages are furnished and decorated with aplomb to the very highest standards; some traditional, others more contemporary; all are so very well equipped and designed that you’ll thank Pat from the bottom of your heart! With stylish interiors and open plan living spaces, no matter which cottage you choose, we know you’ll enjoy every detail that has lovingly been put in place for you.

Eat

Self-catering is such a convenient and cost-effective option for young families. The cottages are kitted out with all you might need to provide a mid-morning snack or Sunday lunch with all the trimmings. And when you fancy a meal out you are spoiled for choice… from sumptuous seafood fresh off the boat that morning to award-winning wine produced by local vineyards and nationally renowned clotted cream, Cornwall is a food lover’s paradise.

Close by you'll find celebrated restaurants in spectacular locations, including Rick Stein’s Seafood Restaurant in Padstow and Jamie Oliver’s Fifteen in Watergate Bay, near Newquay, both are popular and highly recommended. Babysitting can be arranged should you fancy a grown up night out. If you would prefer to stay at home you might order in some freshly frozen meals that you can just pop in the oven and wait for it to heat up with a glass of wine to hand.

Activities

While there’s lots to do on the farm, Bosinver is ideally placed for exploring the rest of Cornwall. There’s plenty on our doorstep, too, so you don’t have to go far if you don’t want to. There are walks to enjoy and combined with a wild animal trail, complete with statues of the real things, (and prizes for finding them all) all will be entertained.

Alternatively, there's the tennis court, indoor swimming pool, games room, sauna, children's play room, adventure playground, fishing lake, outdoor toddler play area or the gym, not forgetting the animals to feed, eggs to find and ponies to enjoy. Then there's the most almighty hill to race or roll down to get to the zip wire. There is also a very pleasant and easy stroll of 15 minutes to the village shop – or the local pub that incidentally is award winning too, offers excellent food and caters for children.

Many of the cottages at Bosinver are fully accessible.
