Set in a small hamlet just above St. Loy’s Cove on the south coast of the Land’s End peninsula, Boskenna holds Visit England’s highest 5 Star Gold rating and offers an ideal setting for a couples’ retreat. Its peaceful surroundings create a sense of seclusion and natural beauty, providing the perfect place to unwind.
Guests can choose between a charming shepherd’s hut or a spacious cottage for two, each with its own private hot tub. Open throughout the year, Boskenna maintains a warm, welcoming and laid-back atmosphere, allowing visitors to relax completely and enjoy this tranquil corner of Cornwall.
Boskenna Cottage
The luxury cottage is built from traditional local materials such as granite and slate, with a light, open-beamed interior that showcases fine craftsmanship in spacious, modern surroundings. Designed for comfort, it features a king-size bed, a luxurious bathroom and stunning open-plan living areas with a state-of-the-art kitchen, underfloor heating and double glazing.
Guests can unwind in the generous living and dining space or step through the patio door into a private walled garden complete with sun loungers, BBQ and a secluded hot tub. Evenings can be spent relaxing on the sofa with the large flat-screen TV, DVD or stereo, or cooking in the stylish Ash kitchen equipped with granite worktops, ceramic hob, split-level oven, integrated microwave, dishwasher, washing machine and fridge-freezer.
The bathroom includes a large shower and deep double-ended bath, while the bedroom offers a restful retreat with a king-size bed, elegant furnishings and a glazed door leading to a sheltered patio perfect for summer dining. The cottage is personally cleaned and maintained to ensure the highest standards, operates a non-smoking policy and accepts only guide dogs by prior arrangement. Ample off-road parking is available within the grounds.
Shepherd’s Hut
This beautifully crafted shepherd’s hut offers luxury without compromise. It features a king-size bed that stays in place all day, underfloor heating to complement the log-burning stove and excellent insulation for year-round comfort. A fully integrated bathroom with a large drench shower means no nighttime trips outside, and double glazing enhances the cosy atmosphere.
The hut also includes a full-sized cooker, fridge and television, offering far more comfort than any traditional shepherd would have known. Positioned to capture the afternoon and evening sun while allowing guests to wake to sunrise through the bedroom window, it enjoys glimpses of the sea and the soothing sounds of birdsong. A secluded hot tub sits just behind the hut, perfectly placed for enjoying the late sun or gazing at the stars.
With Friday and Monday changeovers, guests can choose a seven- or ten-day stay, or opt for a shorter three- or four-night break. As access involves three steps into the cabin, it may not be suitable for those with limited mobility, who may find the Coach House bedroom suite or Boskenna Cottage more suitable.
Visiting the Area
Whether surfing at Sennen Cove, walking the coastal paths, spotting dolphins from Land’s End or exploring picturesque fishing villages, this corner of Cornwall has something truly special to offer. Boskenna sits beside the South West Coastal Path, making it ideal for walkers.
Days out might include visiting some of Cornwall’s finest gardens, crossing to St Michael’s Mount to explore its iconic castle, watching a performance at the open-air Minack Theatre or enjoying world-class art at Tate St Ives. Local eateries, supermarkets and independent shops provide quality produce, making it easy to enjoy the best of Cornwall throughout the stay.
