Old Dairy cottage offers couples a peaceful hideaway for a break away. It dates from about 1860, and is a character cottage situated on a small working farm only a five minute drive from Boscastle, which can also be reached on foot by taking the scenic path down the famous Valency valley.
The Cottage faces onto a large secluded front garden area with a patio. Sit back and listen to the bird song and breathe in the fresh country air. The spectacular coast path and rolling countryside is on your doorstep, and also Highcliff the highest cliff in Cornwall, and the surfing sandy beaches of the North Cornish coast.
Often used as a television or film location, Boscastle provides some of the most dramatic rugged coastline in Europe. Take a boat trip out around Puffin Island, or even try your hand at catching mackerel for your supper! In the village itself you can browse the antique and gift shops, the Craft Centre, the Witch's Museum, or eat out in one of the restaurants or three Pubs. Much of the harbour, the coastline and the Valency Valley are managed by the National Trust, and are designated an 'Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty’.
It is only an hour's drive from the M5 at Exeter, and is perfectly positioned for walking along the South West Coast Path and visiting the picturesque villages of the area including Tintagel and its castle ruins. There are plenty of sandy surfing beaches nearby where you can get surfing and kayaking tuition if you are feeling energetic! Alternatively, try hiking across Bodmin Moor, cycling the Camel Trail, horse riding, golf, rock climbing or sailing.
This is an ideal base from which to explore the whole of Cornwall, Dartmoor, and North Devon. Attractions to visit include: The Eden Project; Lanhydrock House; St Ives with the Tate Gallery (Tate St Ives) and numerous Cornish gardens to name just a few. At any time of the year this is an ideal place for a holiday. In springtime you can enjoy the snowdrops, primroses, and bluebells in the woodlands and hedgerows; in the summer, laze on the beach and during the winter marvel at the magnificent sight of the Atlantic waves breaking whilst enjoying an invigorating walk before a drink or meal in front of the log fire, in one of the friendly local inns.

Just a short note to say how much we enjoyed our recent stay in The Old Dairy at Tremorle farm. It was a very relaxing location with lovely walks from the door, and using the local bus services. It was also lovely to have such a well thought out place to stay in. We hope to visit again.

Many thanks for our recent weeks stay in The Old Dairy! The weather was perfect and our little cottage had everything we needed.
We would stay there again without hesitation as it was a perfect bolt hole-just for two, and would be perfect even in the winter.
Thanks again
