Situated within the most idyllic, peaceful, rural setting, surrounded by many miles of undulating Cornish countryside with stunning views out over Mounts Bay and beyond
Dale Cottage and Dale Cottage Barn are currently owned by an exceedingly well regarded, two time Oscar nominated international film designer as his country retreat. In the late 19th century, Dale Cottage was lived in by S J Lamorna Birch, one of the most respected Newlyn School artists.
The Cottage and Cottage Barn sit in the most wonderful, rural surroundings along a quiet, no-through road and track which serve Boswarthan Farm and the eleven other residential properties. A small vibrant community including farmers, artists, designers, actors, musicians etc. The farm and the surrounding buildings were formerly owned by the historic Bolitho Estate, with the farm remaining in their ownership and under the Stewardship of the tenant farmer. The eleven individual residences have been sold off and converted one by one over the last 30 years. Dale Cottage and Dale Cottage Barn were the first to be sold and are the first buildings on the left when you arrive at this beautiful hamlet.
