If you were looking for cottages like Little Bosveal, how about trying these:

Over 200 years old, set down an undiscovered lane in a peaceful wooded valley, sympathetically restored Little Bosveal epitomises the idyllic Cornish retreat. Surrounded by almost two acres of garden and paddocks bordered by a stream (please take care with children), Glendurgan beach and National Trust garden are approximately a mile away, with Trebah Garden also nearby. Watersports are available at Helford Passage, where the South West Coast Path crosses the Helford River before continuing along clifftops and country lanes. The nearby village of Mawnan Smith has a good range of shops, and Truro and Falmouth are within easy reach. Inside, French windows open onto a terrace from the sitting-room where a cosy open fire, ideal for out-of-season breaks, is flanked by a pair of handsome Knole sofas. A gleaming green Aga makes the slate-floored breakfast-room an informal alternative to the dramatic red dining-room. The kitchen is well-equipped, three of the bedrooms have wash-basins and there is a further bathroom upstairs.
