Nature is at the heart of all that we do - a place to rewild, rechild and reconnect. The essence of Bosinver is about running beautifully unbridled through the countryside, wellies on, without a care in the world. Our dream is to leave a legacy for our children and for yours - generations of memories for all members of the family.

For many young guests Farmer Dave will be one of the lasting memories they take from Bosinver. With a passion for making people smile, telling bad jokes and enjoying the cakes some of his young fans make him during their stay, he'll be the one looking after the daily animal feeding, egg collecting and weekly pony riding sessions.
We occasionally have special offers running, so it's worth checking back here and our facebook page regularly or signing up for our newsletter to hear about the latest offers. Have you ever wanted to try a stay in one of our amazing larger cottages? Now's your chance with our very special offer of 30% off the last remaining September availability in our Farmhouse!
Sleeping 12 in 6 bedrooms, the Farmhouse is a traditional Cornish thatched longhouse which combines historic character with colourful contemporary interior design. With its long lounge, large dining table and garden hot tub it is a brilliant space for groups and parties. Sleeping 8 in 4 bedrooms, the original 'barn with a view' Jack's Barn is spacious and comfortable, retaining all its historic character with views over rolling fields.
Getting to Bosinver by public transport is simple - St Austell railway station and bus terminal is only 3 miles away (and Newquay airport is 20 miles away). There are usually taxis waiting outside - or book in advance with C&C taxis (award winning 100% electric taxis) on 01726 63538.

Winning the national VisitEngland Award for Family Friendly Accommodation of the Year 2017 was such an achievement for us - it is wonderful to have our efforts recognised in this way. As Pat says: Families are at the heart of our business. At Bosinver we strive to combine luxurious accommodation and facilities for parents whilst creating magical childhood memories for children amongst animals and nature on our Cornish farm.

Bosinver Farm Cottages provided us with a refreshing and relaxing break back in November with our then 5 month old, at a time when we all really needed recharging!
Our cottage was immaculately clean - ideal… for a baby perfecting his rolling techniques, and was also warm and fantastically furnished. Most importantly it felt incredibly private, which meant we didn’t have to worry about disturbing anyone with baby noises at all hours!
Exploring the vast farmland with Theo in his carrier gave him an exciting view of the Cornish countryside and wildlife, and the trails and puzzles provided

What a fantastic holiday at Bosinver Farm Cottages. So much thought and planning has gone into the site to make it family friendly. Our cottage was perfectly set up with all the little extras required to make a holiday with a toddler easier whilst the amenities and activities were enjoyed by all. Loved the pool, playbarn, ponies, animal feeding,… egg collection, playground tractor and the Wild Walk. Special thanks to the friendly staff and Julie from Angels in the Kitchen personal chefs who provided some feet up time for Mum and Dad one night too. Thank you Bosinver, see you again soon.

We visited Bosinver for a week at the beginning of October and genuinely had one of the best weeks of our lives! It was our last trip as a family of 3 (Soon to become 4)and we will always treasure the memories… we made.
There is so much to do and explore on the farm, that we barely left for the week. Our just turned 2 year old loved the animal feeding, horse riding , egg collecting, gruffalo trail and parks… and still talks about her favourite farmer Dave!
We stayed in Apple and we’re amazed by the quality of the accommodation. It was immaculately presented with fun, retro decor

Bosinver is wonderful retreat where traditional style and wholesome outdoor family activities meets modern amenities. Every element of the farm is thoughtfully and immaculately presented. Staying in the Apple… cottage with an 18m and a 3yo was ideal. Kids loved Farmer Dave especially but all Bosinver staff were kind, generous and offered thoughtful touches throughout our stay including involving us when releasing rescued hedgehogs back into the wild. The cottage was clean, spacious and comfortable with good storage areas and very useful porch area for removing wet/muddy/sandy clothing and

Our 5th time at Bosinver but first time in Hillside Cottage. Enjoyed every minute. Everything spotlessly clean as usual. Loved the ability to book the pool for a 1 hour slot just for your family. Bosinver is a credit to the whole team who work tirelessly to make sure everyone has a lovely holiday. Can’t wait to be back (at Christmas hopefully!).

What a brilliant place: A comfy stylish cottage, a magical site to explore, fun feeding the animals, a pony ride, marshmallow toasting, excellent eco-credentials and really friendly helpful staff.
We were really sad to leave and can’t wait to return next year. Thanks to the whole team for making our week so much fun.

I never thought we’d go back to the same place on holiday every year, and then we found Bosinver......
Just spent another brilliant week enjoying everything Bosinver has to offer. Beautiful accommodation, incredible on-site facilities (pool, games room, play parks, walking routes) and fantastic activities for the children (animal feeding, pony riding, marshmallow roasting and more).
Special mention to the wonderful Dawn, who we booked some on-site swimming lessons with. She is an incredible teacher and helped our kids make brilliant progress in a short time. Would 100% recommend booking lessons

Once you've stayed here, everywhere else will feel a bit inadequate! Have stayed there twice and will definitely be going back again. The cottages themselves are beautiful inside and out and there are sizes and styles to suit everyone. The staff are all fabulous - really friendly and helpful, nothing is too much trouble. There are hundreds of beautiful beaches and exciting days out only a short drive away but the problem is we never make it to most of them because there is just so much to do at the cottages! Feeding the animals and collecting fresh eggs to eat, pony rides, huge playground, zip

Just on our way back from our 5th wonderful stay at Bosinver! 1st time for Christmas & we have had a wonderful time again!
We stayed in Apple this time, a lovely 'upside down' cottage with gorgeous views & sheep in the field who come up quite close.
Everything is perfectly thought out from the warm welcome, treats on arrival, lovely local soap,… local recommendations, plus an amazing veg box for Christmas.
The team are working harder than ever given the current Covid situation, so many extra measures in place, non of which takes away from the magic of this little sanctuary.

Bosinver you have stolen our hearts! Such an amazing place which cannot be underestimated! I’m sure Isla and Ellis will remember our time here for the rest of their lives and we will all miss it so much. The staff have been amazing and the accommodation and facilities are fantastic. It’s been great for us all to reconnect with nature and Cornwall which has been perfect during these difficult times.

This was our second stay at Bosinver, very different circumstances this time because of Covid, but both holidays have been equally fantastic. Everything here is designed for a brilliant stay for children, including animal-feeding, pony-rides, swimming, marshmallow-toasting - all now carefully reorganised to be Covid-safe. The cottage we stayed in was immaculate, and the staff have gone to incredible lengths to ensure families enjoy their stay. Thanks for having us, we hope to see you again soon.

We have had another wonderful week at Bosinver. The house was lovely, beautifully clean with everything our 3-generation family needed. The fields, wood, pond and brilliant play facilities were well used. We all loved the swimming pool and animal feeding, pony riding and Wild Kids!
We are always given such a warm welcome and hope to be back again!
