We had a great time - unique seaside and fabulous village`s location, fantastic design of the hotel, attention to detail, cosiness, very friendly staff, lovely, delicious rich breakfast. the room was uniquely cute - old England with modern service, very clean, coffee machine, table-top stylish airconditioning, tea set with local biscuits and tea, cute ceramic cups, warm throw, local drink filled fridge, huge TV screen, tall soft bed, unique warm curtains (throughout the hotel) - all these little things created a great atmosphere for us. Same time be ready - the architecture of the hotel has its own unique age, so some rooms on the highest levels will require you to use very small and steep stairs; our small room for two had a big period beam above one side of the bed, I loved it, same time it can be hard for someone older to crawl under to get into bed. This did not spoil the overall picture at all, but perhaps it is worth knowing about it in advance. You will enjoy this place!

We got engaged in Boscastle at the start of July and so this hotel will always be special, but it’s special regardless. Beautiful building, exceptional food, lovely pub atmosphere, helpful staff. We were lucky enough to get a free upgrade and the room was beautiful - huge bed, lovely en suite and high-beamed ceilings. The breakfast is included and it’s exceptional - best scrambled eggs I’ve had in years. Couldn’t rate more highly!

We stayed 2 nights in this beautiful hotel which i understand has recently been refurbished. Taylor greeted us upon attival and took us to our lovely clean rooms, with a huge comfy kingsize bed.He explained about breakfast, evening meals and late access, also how the minibar operated and our 2 complimentary Korev beers!
Breakfast was delicious and many options for vegetarian or vegan.
We didnt eat at the hotel in the evening as we felt the vegetarian options were limited.
All in all we would highly recommended staying and we will definitely return.

The staff made this stay. We enjoyed the breakfasts and the choice. Food was lovely. Room was spacious, bathroom was spacious. An old hotel but it had character. The staff were friendly and welcoming. The downer was not being able to initially park as the car park was full of other dining only guests, which made lugging the bags from the car park in Boscastle in pouring rain not much fun.

Excellent Hotel - Amazing Staff
Myself and a work colleague stayed in the hotel for three nights.
We had a very special request for charging our work vehicle and they were more than accommodating with this.
From the start the staff were friendly and very approachable, for the first two mornings we were unable to attend breakfast as we had to be on the road by 7:30 am, so they made us up sausage sandwiches up the night before so we could have them in the morning.
I have given the hotel a 4 for cleanliness and condition and I totally understand that this is down to the age of the building as I appreciate it is very hard to maintain and keep clean.
The whole stay was brilliant and we cannot thank the staff for their cooperation and helpfulness.
I would recommend this hotel to any one who was staying in the area.

A disappointing experience. Having reserved a premium ‘Turret’ room we quickly discovered the heating was not working - and on a freezing night. The staff must have known this - and ours was not the only room affected. Two mini plug in radiators were supplied but they were not fit for purpose in what was a large room.
The management could give no guarantee when the problem would be fixed: we were left with no practical option but to cut short our stay and find alternative accommodation.
We secured a refund for what would have been our second night but no other compensation was offered.
Our main course at dinner was good though the soup had little taste. Breakfast was perfectly acceptable - aside from the terrible instant taste coffee.
This Victorian hotel is perfectly placed for coastal walks and Boscastle harbour but it needs better management and fresh investment
