Reviews and Ratings
I couldn't have asked for a better stay! The hotel is located right at the top, with very spacious rooms that are nicely decorated and feature a huge bed. The separate room for kids was perfect for our family.
The hotel is located in a charming village with easy access to beautiful surroundings and eateries. The rooms are cozy and well-equipped, but some may find them a bit small. The service is attentive and friendly, ensuring a pleasant stay overall.
I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms were perfect, with large windows offering different village views, but it got noisy at 2 o'clock in the morning, which affected my sleep. The service was fantastic, with friendly staff and great dog-friendly amenities. The location was convenient if traveling by car, but the dining experience fell a bit short of expectations with limited breakfast options.
My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms, although overlooking the terrace, were in need of a makeover and felt quite cold with limited bedding. On the bright side, the service was exceptional, with friendly and helpful staff, especially during our interactions with Kit the chef. The location was great, allowing for beautiful walks and easy access to the village center. The dining experience offered plenty of good food choices, although some items like the fruit were not up to par.
The hotel is located in a beautiful area, easy access to all of Boscastle's charm. The rooms, despite being smaller than expected, were well-appointed and had a spacious modern bath/shower room. The service was outstanding, especially towards my little dog. The staff couldn't have been more helpful and the food, like the 'Welly Burger', was delicious and reasonably priced. The location is exceptional, nestled between mountains and offering stunning sea views. The dining options were tasty with a good variety available. Overall, a great stay with a few minor room size issues and a bit pricey.
