Sea Views, 10 mins from the coastal path

Zoe left us a lovely welcome package of cream tea, tea, coffee, milk etc which was so very kind. The bungalow was spotless and well appointed, very comfortable with sea views and only a short walk to the coastal path. It was situated a lovely peaceful location with parking directly outside. We had a lovely holiday in Zoe’s beautiful bungalow and would certainly recommend it to others. Thank you so much Zoe for letting us use your driveway to park a few hours before we were due to check in, so that we could walk down to the harbour.

Fabulous location

Absolutely loved the location of this rental and was bigger than expected. Couldn't fault the accommodation, only niggle was a small bath towel each for a week. I only mention in case like me you have long hair to wash or bath daily. Walk from the bungalow to Tintagel or Bude on the coastal path. Hire bikes and cycle the Camel trail or drive to Padstow and experience great restaurants and seafood. Local vineyard/winery was also great and Breakfasts in the local farm shop. Highlight of trip was Tues eve in The Napoleon, with The Boscastle Buoys, live seashanty singers. We did giggle a Zoe's description of a flat walk to this pub, but in comparison to going down to Boscastle, we see why she may feel this. Thanks again Zoe, your home is lovely.

Summer Holiday

Had a great stay for a week in mid July. The accommodation was to a high standard with everything you need. Great location just a 10-15 minute walk to the harbour although the return journey up the hill can be quiet challenging if not reasonably fit. You can see the sea from the property and also reach the sea cliffs without the need to go into the centre of Boscastle. Took the bus to Tintagel with the bus stop only a five minute walk from the property. Had a wondeful time.

About the host

Hosted by zoann bersey

Hi I am Zoe,
I work for the NHS and I bought Silver Shells as my retirement home as I work nearby and love the area, the problem is I cannot afford to retire yet so my home has to earn its keep, and I live with friends. I am not Cornish but have been in the area for about 35 years. I originally came to Cornwall to study Art in Plymouth and Art is something else I want to do more of when I retire. So for the time being I really enjoy making my home look lovely so my guests enjoy it as much as I intend to in the future.

Why they chose this property

Silver Shells is my idea of heaven, I bought it as my retirement home as it really is a walkers paradise and so close to some fantastic surf beaches. The breath taking scenery and the coastal path is a ten minute almost level walk away and I just love taking a bottle of wine over their to watch the sun go down, this can also be seen from my Lounge window but I like listening to the waves crashing on the rocks below. I then walk on another ten minutes and I am down in Boscastle harbor for a bite to eat or listen to some live music in one of the lovely pubs. Silver Shells is also close to Bude, Trebarwith Strand, Tintagel, Port Isaac home of Doc Martin and Polzeath. The bus also stops at the top of the road and there is a shop at the service station a five minute level walk. How good can it get.
