Was lovely to see a rabbit in the garden every day from fields behind. Secure enclosed back garden for our dog. Walking distance to local pub Napoleon with superb food and on Tuesday nights the Boscastle Buoys who sing from around 9:30 p.m. until closing. Coastal walks, harbour and Museum of Witchcraftt and Magic in Boscastle all worth a visit. Rock beach was lovely, long and flat, dog had a great time splashing through the water and there is a small ferry across to Padstow from here that takes minutes.

Plenty of cooking essentials and cupboard space (we moved a bit to put our food bits in one) Our dogs loved the garden not really over looked. John very informative & friendly. Great location, Boscastle lovely village. Only thing I would say is it's a bit of a climb up from town for the fit and able when walking which we did frequently. Beautiful sunsets just spoilt a bit by a neighbours tree right on the horizon! Would definitely stay again.

Well placed to visit other areas of interest with Boscastle being a nice setting. Could benefit from upgraded beds.
