Boscrowan and Cornwall offer us the holiday location we enjoy most. Can’t wait to come back.’ Maria and Nugent. Jan 2015

We’ve also enjoyed the responsibility of dispensing treats to the animals this time, who present themselves at the kitchen door as soon as they sense movement and of course Meg has guided us on walks around the fields as usual. We’ve seen Boscrowan and Cornwall in a different light – normally visiting in the summer, but what a light it has been. We had crisp frosty mornings at the beginning of the week, followed by bright sparkling days with brilliant blue skies and glistening turquoise seas. Thanks for another sewing master class Elizabeth’. Christine and John. Jan 2015

We have visited gardens, galleries, beaches and enjoyed the coastal walks.’ David and Carole, June 2014

Since first coming to Boscrown and Peace and Plenty in 2001, we have spent every Christmas and New Year’s holiday at this exceptional place. Not to mention Maria’s solo stays at Ring and Thimble. We are often asked why we always go back to the same place and the answer is simple…………..we absolutely love it. Peace and plenty of relaxation and comfort is what we look for and Boscrowan offers much more than that. For us the P also stands for ‘Predictability’ which we certainly have here. Since 2001 Elizabeth and David have made absolutely sure that the high standard is not only maintained, but improved, adding to the immense comfort of this ‘home from home’ Maria and Nugent. Jan 2014
We enjoyed the quietness of Boscrowan and loved having the animals around. It has made Christmas 2013 very special indeed! Anne and John. Dec 2013

The delights and comfort of being here never diminishes. Maria Kohlweg. Oct 2013
Another lovely week with “Mary” (Poppins for the uninitiated – so called because Ring and Thimble is practically perfect in every way”) Our fifth visit to Boscrowan, and Mary you did not disappoint this year either – perfect luxury with fine attention to detail. We enjoyed our hot baths with a book in one hand and wine (Mark!) in the other and our long lie-ins in what must be the comfiest bed in Cornwall! See you again sometime soon. Mark and May. Oct 2013
Elizabeth and David care passionately about their guests, ensuring that their stay is memorable. What both strive for and achieve is perfection and they thoroughly deserve the awards presented to them for the outstanding accommodation here at Boscrowan. We will be back. Lynn and John. Sept 2013
Sure as 2 + 2 = 4, a holiday at Boscrowan = perfect happy holiday. I love looking for all the little changes Elizabeth has made in Ring and Thimble each year – such good fun! Excellent days out in St Ives, St Mawes and Sennen. Tim and Victoria. Sept 2013 (our 8th consecutive year staying here and many more to come!)
As ever we loved spending time in and around Boscrowan, the summer house, walks in the fields with Meg and in the garden. Thanks Elizabeth and David for everything and especially for my curtain making masterclass! Christine and John. Sept 2014
We enjoyed picking our own salad veg and having truly free range eggs. The cottage is ideally located for walking on the coast and we made the most of that. Steve and Tracy. Sept 2014
Thank you very much for letting me have an amazing Cornish birthday and letting me do the animals and ride Gem, love Thea. Aug 2013
Thank you for another amazing holiday. I thoroughly enjoyed the cushion making lesson, love Ella Aug 2013
We’ve had had one of our best Cornish holidays ever this year – and there have been a few! Thank you for making us feel so welcome at Boscrowan and Peace and Plenty – our second home. The Davies family. Aug 2013
Peace and Plenty is a joy to be in, filled as ever with fresh flowers, fresh herbs and Boscrowan veg. Everything always seems fresh and every need is catered for – from a brand new children’s version of Articulate to kites, body boards, beach chairs and a picnic hamper. The Penwith Peninsula has been as glorious as ever, another wonderful show at the Minack, Porthcurno sparkling like the Caribbean and an interesting trip underground at Geevor. We will certainly be back. Roll on next time.
Ian, Jen, Oliver and Emily, August 2013
Thank you again. Mum doesn’t want to leave and is already counting down the days until next year!
The Marsden family, August 2013
What a joy to be back at Ring and Thimble – it’s been a long year! Should you choose to return year on year, like ourselves, you will be happy in the knowledge that this impeccable standard continues!
Glenys and Phil July 2013
I had a glorious time feeding the animals and I’ll be coming to Boscrowan next year and many others.
Oliver (age 7)
We have had the most wonderful week here in Ring and Thimble – the perfect place to celebrate our 20th wedding anniversary. We have loved everything about the cottage, from the aga cooking experience to the fresh flowers, the doggies waiting at the door for their biscuits, the peace and quiet (apart from the lovely birdsong), the Cornish pasties and croissants in the freezer, the enormous bed and all the homely touches. What a great week and we will definitely be back.
Yvonne and Richard, May 2013
First time in Peace and Plenty after 8 or 9 stays in Ring and Thimble. Just as lovely and we are returning next year.
Keith and Deborah, May 2013
Elizabeth and David are so committed to providing a relaxing, luxurious break – we are surprised by the attention to detail each time we visit.
Tim, Claire, Sam and Marcus, April 2013
Simply outstanding – and what a treat! Ring and Thimble is a delightful cottage and the standard of accommodation outstanding. We can honestly think of nothing that would have made our holiday experience more enjoyable. I regard myself as a light sleeper but Ring and Thimble is one of the most tranquil places that we have ever stayed in.
Graham and Lynn, April 2013
Every time we come it just gets better! It feels like we’re coming home when we arrive at the ‘magical gate!’
Lexine, Pete, Sam and Kate, April 2013
Another perfect week at the perfect Peace and Plenty. We have been coming to Boscrowan since 2001 and never tire of the wonderful ambience and the new little touches which always keep it fresh. It’s an area you can never tire of as the coastline is so stunning and changes with the different seasons.
Mark, Debs and Martha, March 2013
Elizabeth and David have created a unique holiday home which evolves constantly and makes for continuous enjoyment and pleasure. This is our 19th stay since 2001!
Maria and Nugent, January 2013
Our love for Boscrowan comes from the great comforts, warmth of welcome and attention to detail. It is a perfect sanctuary for us. We haven’t seen anything else, anywhere, which comes close. You’ve spoiled us for anywhere else.
Mark and May, December 2012
We had a perfect holiday. This is heaven on earth! Thank you so much.
Pam and Bill, USA, May 2012
We wouldn’t have wished for a better honeymoon! We loved this place so much we decided to stay on a few extra days!
Gary and Rachel, November 2011
I’m sure the flowers get more and more beautiful every time we come.
Glenys and Phil, July 2011
We’ve spent many happy hours in the summerhouse which is a wonderful retreat on its own. We’ve loved our walks in the fields with Jess and Meg (following their directions of course!).
Christine and John, June 2011
We enjoyed the ‘aga experience’ and were delighted by the idea of falling asleep in that most comfortable bed.
Hans and Anne, Germany, July 2010
Dear Jess and Meg,
Thank you for being such wonderful hosts and making us feel so welcome on your farm. Will you please thank your lovely owners David and Elizabeth, for once again providing such fabulous accommodation. We’ll be back soon, for sure. Thank you.
The Price family, April 2010
Another lovely stay at Peace and Plenty. Boscrowan just gets better and better every time we come back. Thank you Elizabeth and David, you’ve put your life and soul into this place and it’s wonderful.
Mark, Louisa, Imogen and Rowan, February 2009
We could hardly believe anyone had lived in the cottage before us, so clean and perfect it was. We both agree this is our ’dream cottage’. We so loved the colours and soft furnishings that we are heading back home with our new Farrow and Ball paint chart, fabric samples and inspirational ideas to transfuse some of Ring and Thimble into our own home!
May and Mark, September 2008
R and T is truly a luxurious and magical place to stay − and so affordable that we hope to visit again and again. We’ve already booked for next year.
Janet and David, May 2007
We have thoroughly enjoyed our week in Ring and Thimble. The accommodation and facilities are to the very highest standards and it is by far the best 5 star self catering cottage we have ever stayed in.
Brian and Lesley, April 2006
