The Boatshed

The Boatshed far exceeded our expectations. We loved everything about it, the stylish furnishings to the very well thought out space. Perfect for two, or indeed one. Everything is top quality and very comfortable. The area is stunning, particularly Kennegy Cove, a hidden paradise. Swimming here everyday was heaven. Ten minutes through a charming farmyard and footpaths, across a beautiful cow field to the coastal path. Then an easy walk of 30 minutes to the cove, climb some low level rocks and then you are standing on golden sand surrounded by rugged cliffs, crystal clear blue sea and very few people. Tanea and Ben, the owners are lovely people who will help you with anything. They also respect your privacy, which was appreciated. The Boatshed is one of those places you will never forget, we miss it already! It is perfectly situated, you only ever have to travel a few miles to all the local beaches and beauty spots. We loved the local pub, The Packet Inn, superb food and value for money. The fish and chip shop opposite is also very good. Definitely book a wildlife boat trip with Mermaid, we saw three pods of dolphins, gannets and seals. A wonderful experience! One evening, pop to Porthleven for a wander around the beautiful harbour and sit with a drink to watch the sun go down. A fantastic holiday in a precious little property, can't wait to go back....

Had a great time staying at the Boatshed, it had everything we needed. The location was great to explore Southern Cornwall, 20 min drive from The Lizard, St Ives etc and so close to the South West Coastal Path we were able to walk to Marazion (around 2.5 hours). Would definitely recommend to stay here, very peaceful. ...

This is a wonderful comfortable place in a very convenient location. We stayed for a week and took day trips around the Cornish countryside. Highly recommended!

We very much enjoyed our week at The Boatshed. The accommodation is fab, well equipped and lovely decor. The owners, Tanea and Ben were welcoming and a happy to make recommendations. They were present hosts, but not intrusive in anyway. The location is also great, a short (but very muddy - wet winter in Cornwall the cause) walk to the coastal path and lovely walks in either direction. Easy access to Penzance and A30 or to Porthleven and beyond. Would highly recommend to others. Thank you for the welcome treats, they were very much appreciated. ...

We loved it! The space was utilized so well, a comfortable, cosy place to stay. Spotlessly clean, and a very comfortable bed! Thank you to the owners for such a friendly welcome and a wonderful stay. We had a gorgeous honeymoon at the Boatshed and will be back! ...
