WELCOME TO COURTYARD FARM COTTAGES
Nestled in the scenic Valency Valley, within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, Courtyard Farm Cottages offer the perfect rural retreat near the National Trust harbour of Boscastle.
The 17th-century former mill has been thoughtfully and recently refurbished in 2025 to create 7 charming, traditional Cornish stone cottages. Each property has been carefully restored to blend modern comfort with the timeless character of Cornwall. Choose from one, two, three, and four-bedroom cottages, each designed to provide the ideal setting for families, groups, or couples.
Set within 10 acres of picturesque land, our cottages offer stunning, uninterrupted views of the surrounding sea and farmland, giving you the space to relax and reconnect with nature. Whether you're planning a family getaway or a peaceful retreat, Courtyard Farm Cottages offers a tranquil escape where you can enjoy Cornwall at its best.
OUR FACILITIES
Courtyard Farm Cottages is the perfect place to relax and unwind in the peaceful, unspoilt hamlet of Lesnewth. Although it feels wonderfully remote, the location offers easy access to the A39, providing excellent links to explore all that the North Cornish Coast has to offer.
We are dog-friendly (subject to owner approval), and our 10 acres of grounds offer plenty of space for both your four-legged friends and children to enjoy!
New for 2025 – our large play field now features a football goal, perfect for a game of family football or some friendly competition. We also have a children's play area with a large trampoline, a play tower with a climbing wall, monkey bars, swings, slide, and fireman’s pole to keep the little ones entertained.
For those who prefer a more relaxing outdoor experience, the grounds also include a picnic and barbecue area with benches, ideal for al-fresco dining on those warm Cornish evenings. Four of the cottages also offer their own private decked areas with tables and chairs – the perfect spot to soak in the stunning views, enjoy a sunset, or socialise with family and friends.
We can help put you in touch with local pet-sitting services and would highly recommend Lisa Ellison, a fully insured pet-sitter, should you need help looking after your dog during your stay.
All cottages come with parking, towels, linen, and free Wi-Fi included for your convenience.
