The location is celebrated for its beauty and proximity to the harbour, though some guests noted the busy road and parking challenges.
The property is frequently described as comfortable, with special mentions of comfy beds and a spacious setting, although the main bathroom size was a minor concern for one guest.
Facilities are generally well-received, especially the garden and modern internal amenities. However, comments about small washbasins, unclear key safe instructions, and the lack of a welcome pack suggest room for improvement.

Chestnut Cottage was a real home from home. It was more spacious than we expected. We really enjoyed our stay there & the village of Boscastle. Special thanks to Mark for sorting the thermostat so promptly. Whilst we were at Chestnut to explore the area, one gripe was the Sky television reception. If we were paying for it. would not be happy (!). We did pick up on the games in the evening, especially enjoying Deal Monopoly & Mind. All in all a really enjoyable week. Cheers,

What a beautiful and comfortable cottage. The cottage was very clean throughout. There was plenty of hot water for the showers. We had a lovely holiday. The location of the cottage is ideal for reaching many interesting places. Definitely recommend.

This is a well-appointed cottage that is a short walk down to the Wellington pub, the walk back up the hill is harder - Boscastle is hilly! Another review commented that the cottage is on a main road and parking is on the other side of the road. It is, but this “main” road isn’t as busy as the suburban side road I live in, it is quiet. We enjoyed our stay and were blessed with excellent, warm, sunny September weather. Just unwinding, reading in the garden with a glass of wine and using the cottage as a base.
