The history of the hotel was fantastic and loved it. The staff were very pleasant, friendly, welcoming and helpful on check-in and this was the same throughout. The online process of booking a table for dinner was straightforward and providing menus online made gave you an idea of the food available and facilitated the process of ordering the food at dinner time and the service and food at dinner was wonderful with the service very efficient and quick. The room was great with comfortable beds and made for a great night's sleep and breakfast was just as great as dinner. If in the area again I would definitely look at staying here again. The location was great with the scenery extremely stunning and beautiful and made it one of the best hotel stays ever.

Excellent value for money. Great views, spotlessly clean and just a short walk from the coastal path and a lovely traditional pub. The tent had everything we needed- we will be back!

We loved Boscastle as a base to explore the north coast of Cornwall. Coastal walks are stunning and we visited Padstow, Tintagel, Port Isaac and the Eden project (about 45 mins-1 hour drive). I believe that Bude and Newquay are a similar drive away but didn't get to visit them on this trip.
If you want a very special meal and like sea food we would definitely recommend the "Rocket Store". This place was featured in one of Rick Stein's Cornwall programmes and although not cheap it fully lived up to expectations and we enjoyed a fabulous last night meal. Several other pub and restaurant options which we didn't try apart from the Napolean Inn close to our cottage and this was also very good and served an excellent Sunday lunch.

As we visited in December, it was quiet allowing us to meander and enjoy the area without the crowds.
The people we met were all pleasant and friendly and made our visit enjoyable.
I can only imagine, what it must be like for traffic etc in peak season, which I personally would avoid due to the limited access and parking.
Places we ate were The Wellington, the Cobweb and the Riverside.
Of the three we enjoyed the Riverside for quality and value mostly, but we would recommend all for various reasons.
We joined in with the community when they lit the lobsterpot Christmas tree, along with local school children singing and Boscastle Morris team dancing and then back into the pub to warm up.

I stayed for 2 days. You could stay 1 day longer, but that would be about it. In theory, you could be able to cover most of the main sites around the town within a day or a day and a half.
The witchcraft museum is definitely worth a visit. I was really surprised and learnt a lot. An odd place for such a museum, but then again, it's as good a place as any.
Make sure you book one of the restaurants. Especially on a Friday or Saturday night, almost no place, including The Riverside where I was staying was accepting walk-ins.

A good location for exploring that part of Cornwall. A good selection of hotels and restaurants, we tried all of them during our stay and they were all friendly and welcoming. The car park is close to all the facilities and is charged until 1600 Monday to Sunday.

Pretty place to visit, very interesting.
Pretty place to visit, very interesting. Lovely walks to be had too.
Take a purse full of 20pence pieces as a lot of the harbours residents have had to take on the the upkeep of the toilet facilities, therefore unfortunately having to charge for usage.
Lovely restaurants but ideally need to pre-book as they get very busy! We didn’t go during school holidays and was still booked up. Some really cute shops to buy gifts.
The Hotel staff at the Wellington really made our visit. They were very helpful and accommodating.They took extra time to answer our questions and tell us about nearby places that we may want to visit during our stay.
We had to check out early to catch a train and I had left a pair of earrings behind. They contacted me first and asked if I wanted them to mail the earrings to me!
We had an exceptional stay and will definitely stay there again when visiting Cornwall.
The location was perfect for us, although we didn't walk down to Boscastle because of the weather, in the summer this would certainly have been possible (although would be a steep walk up!). We drove out to Port Isaac, Rock, Eden Project and Tintagel as well as St Nectan's waterfall. The cottage was clean, comfortable and great for kids and dog. Very relaxing. We liked the scones and clotted cream on arrival and a chew for the dog, a lovely touch!
The cottage had everything we needed. It was cozy, clean, and exactly as described. The very nice touches made it all the more special — scones and clotted cream, milk in the fridge, and a note explaining everything. I also liked the website and blog offering tons of suggestions for things to do and places to eat in the area. Would stay there again!
Excellent accommodation, meals (including vegan options) and service (from cheerful & friendly staff). Hotel has easily accessible location, slightly away from the main through traffic, but a very easy walk to all the visitor attractions of Boscastle. Even as teetotalers we liked the country pub feel to the Wellington.
The cottage was very spacious and very clean, the kitchen was equipped with everything you would need. Despite being next to the road there was hardly any traffic which made it a very peaceful weekend. Boscastle is a couple of minutes down the narrow lane and surrounding villages are not that far away.
The location in the village was prefect for us, away for the main harbour, but close the to a local shop and a 10 minute, if steep, walk down to the harbour. Cosy feel to the cottage and very comfortable bed. Great to have the welcome pack on arrival of local goods and a coffee machine.
Good location for my work at a local business. The decor of the Sloe cottage was excellent and I likes the hanging tapestries and ornaments. The views from the property are great, and I liked the small garden seating area available for residents which had good views.
Lovely cottage - really comfortable, homely and very clean. Nicely decorated and very central location for Boscastle Harbour near some good walks and places to eat or take away. Everything you need available for a stay. Would definitely return.
Apartment was perfect. Fully equipped kitchen, comfortable bed and setting area. Large bathroom with bath and shower.
Central yet quiet location just 5 minutes walk to the harbour. Own parking area. Pubs & Restuarants about 200m away,
To start, the location, the cream tea on arrival, Mel and Adam there if needed, the view, the cleanliness of the stay, the peacefulness, the walk to the pub, the taxi back up the hill from Boscastle and the friendliness of the locals.
Wonderfully welcoming hosts, beautifully clean property with very comfy bed. Excellent location for walking the stunning coast path in sections from Boscastle to Port Gaverne. We loved it!
Very nice Hotel, Old, Interesting, Characteristic. Lovely friendly professional staff, breakfast and dinner very good, great location in the harbour, lots of lovely walks, loved Boscastle.
Self contained unit with many facilities, comfortable bed and full kitchen. Spacious. Short drive to Boscastle and the coast for lovely scenic views and cafe meals.
This property is stunning. Lovely location for visits to Tintagel and Boscastle. The room was beautiful and very clean with everything you need and more!!
