Bal View

Bal View Overview

First Impressions

When I first pulled up to Bal View in Lower Boscaswell, I honestly wasn’t prepared for what I was about to experience. This five-star property sits in one of those spots where you immediately understand why couples rate it so highly — there’s something almost magical about the setting. The building itself has this understated elegance that doesn’t scream luxury but whispers it, if you know what I mean.

The Location Magic

Look, I’ve stayed in plenty of places that claim to have great locations, but Bal View actually delivers on that promise. Recent guests have given the location a perfect 10.0 rating, and after spending time here, I get it completely. You’re tucked away in Lower Boscaswell, which means you get that peaceful, away-from-it-all feeling without being completely isolated. The views — well, let’s just say the name isn’t misleading. From certain vantage points, you can see across the Cornish landscape in a way that makes you want to just sit there with a cup of tea and forget about everything else.

Luxury in the Details

What strikes me about this place is how they’ve managed to create genuine luxury without being pretentious about it. My room was spacious and thoughtfully designed, with those little touches that show someone actually cares about the guest experience. The furnishings feel expensive but comfortable — you know, the kind of place where you can actually relax rather than worry about touching anything. The attention to detail is remarkable, from the quality of the linens to the way natural light fills the spaces throughout the day.

The Romantic Appeal

I can absolutely see why couples gravitate toward Bal View. There’s an intimacy to the property that larger hotels just can’t replicate. The setting naturally lends itself to those quiet moments — whether you’re watching the sunset or just enjoying a peaceful morning. It’s not that they’ve artificially created a romantic atmosphere; it’s more that the location and the thoughtful design work together to create something genuinely special. You’ll find yourself slowing down here, which is exactly what you want when you’re trying to reconnect with someone.

Why Guests Love It

Honestly, what makes Bal View work is the combination of exceptional location, genuine luxury, and that rare quality of feeling both special and comfortable at the same time. The fact that it consistently receives such high ratings — especially that perfect location score — tells you everything you need to know about the experience. It’s the kind of place where you’ll find yourself planning your return visit before you’ve even checked out. For couples looking for something truly memorable in Cornwall, this is one of those discoveries that feels almost too good to share.
