Great place
Beautiful little hotel. Great breakfast and their lunch’s and dinner were wonderful. I was fortunate to look over their patio on the river. Right in the centre of town and they were helpful in explaining places to go. A wonder experience.

Building nice rest so/so
Nice location and characterful building but service wasn't great felt like we were an inconvenience, Strange pre-booking breakfast experience not allowing flexibility and dont know why we had to pre-order cereal, toast and juice, presumably things in stock anyway.

we loves it :)
We stayed two nights, and we were very pleased with everything. From check in the staff were helpful, the room clean and quite spacious, big bath room. tea and coffee in the room. The water is so clear (compared to our water near London), breakfast was great, really enjoyed the haddock and the salmon and eggs. Boscastle is a lovely little town, you can easily walk up to the top of the neighbouring cliffs for a nice view of the ocean.

Liked: Staff & service
Disliked: Amenities
Room was very dated and old fashioned. No car parking facilities other than paying in local car park. Due to war out for less scheme when we arrived, we couldn’t get in anywhere to eat. Found one chip shop that did food until 9pm So got a pizza and sat in the room. No air con or fan and heat was overwhelming at times. Staff said we couldn’t have a fan due to COViD but last three hotels all supplies one in room. Staff were lovely and the best bit about the stay. The girl who served us breakfast in the morning was lovely and an asset to the business.

Historic building, well maintained.
Long climb up to the top floor but the room was very up to date and warm considering a cold February wind was blowing. Our breakfast was included and had great choices and excellent quality. Parking is a short walk away and needs to be paid separately.
