    We came back to this house and surroundings with the high expectations of the previous visit. They still succeed in reaching the highest level possible. Where 10’s are given to easily, they deserve my 12. We will return here for a third time.

Neighbourhood information

The picturesque harbour of Boscastle is one of Cornwall’s most romantic places. The long narrow valley runs down to a steep and rocky entrance to the raging sea beyond. It is a place steeped in history, associated with authors and artists who have been inspired by its remoteness and rugged beauty, it has also been a working harbour, both for fishermen and stone workers over the years. The main village sits high above the harbour and is a pleasant place to explore. Boscastle House is set at the top of the village (this gives us fantastic views), the walk down the old village to the harbour is a beautiful and interesting one, however it is a steep hill to walk back up, as is most of Cornwall...
