A perfect Cornish coastal village, the road through Boscastle runs down to the small harbour at the bottom of the hill. The quaint village shops, local restaurants and pubs offering good food, Cornish real ales and live entertainment by local musicians, make this an ever popular visitor destination. Spectacular cliff tops, rocky coves, wild surf, open fields and rich wildlife characterise this beautiful area. The coastal footpath passes through some of Britain’s most rugged and spectacular coastal scenery. The sandy beaches of Bossiney, Trebarwith Strand and Crackington Haven are all within 5 miles and the surfing beaches at Bude and Polzeath are within easy driving distance.

Robert
Good views from the property. Modern comfortable bedroom and excellent shower. Lounge/Kitchen needs some TLC and updating and the kitchen layout is not ideal. All the equipment you need but the electric kettle on the sink draining board is dangerous. As pets are allowed there was aways a smell of dogs during our stay.

Bedroom and bathroom modern,bed comfortable, nice bedding. Living area very old fashioned, no settee, 3 armchairs which were not very comfortable. Nice countryside views, awkward kitchen layout with not enough space for electrical appliances. Broken vertical blinds on patio door which proved troublesome for entering and exiting the property. Decent size driveway. Patio furniture needs attention/replacing. Some good points, some not so.
