Situation - Boscastle and the surrounding area is a popular holiday destination with some of the most spectacular scenery in Cornwall. The village provides a range of day to day facilities and the nearby town of Camelford provides a wider range of amenities including a secondary school.
The property is in an outstanding location for ready access to popular towns and villages including Tintagel, Port Isaac, Polzeath, Rock and Padstow all being within easy reach. This famous stretch of coastline, much of it under the stewardship of The National Trust and an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, is a major attraction for visitors who are able to enjoy a wide choice of secluded coves and sandy beaches, some of which provide the best surfing in the County.
There is a golf club on the outskirts of Camelford and close to this is the start of the Camel Trail which is popular for cycling, horse-riding and walking and leads all the way along the River Camel to Padstow. The nearby Camel Estuary offers sailing, water-skiing, kayaking, wind surfing and kite surfing along its length.

Overview - Courtyard Farm is at the head of the picturesque Valency Valley, opposite the 12th Century St Michael and All Angels Church.

Several have decked sun terraces that benefit from magnificent views.
