PoWe had fantastic service from very friendly staff. Food was excellent. Highly recommend this small friendly hotel where nothing was too much trouble. The location was in the heart of the lovely town of Boscastle with parking in the car park next door.

Circumstance and TripAdvisor led is to choose this venue for a three night stay. All in all there was not a great deal wrong with it but we would question the plethora of 5's it gets. This brings me to a hobby horse of mine about TripAdvisor ratings since the whole concept should be about comparing others opinions with your... More

We stayed at the Riverside during the off-season and therefore no evening meals were available, which was a shame as the breakfasts were of exceptionally high quality. Our room had superb views down toward the harbour and was well equipped. The bed was comfortable and the room was well cleaned. Free wi-fi is a boon, with reasonable signal strength in... More

Excellent could not fault anything. Lovely comfortable room, with a wonderful view of the river, sea and coastline. Dinner was excellent including an extensive local fish menu, and breakfast was superb. The staff were friendly and professional without exception. Wonderful overnight stay will certainly return.

We were fortunate to have room 15, beautiful views from several windows. The room was large, bright and cozy at the same time. We were only booked to stay one night but enjoyed the hotel so much we stayed another. We'll be back.

My partner and myself stayed one night as a birthday surprise. Immediately we walked in, it smelt fresh and clean. Staff were polite and efficient from arriving to the minute we left. Our room was immaculate and overlooked the river. We decided to book our evening meal there too. Best decision ever! We both had steaks which were cooked to... More

Fantastic room overlooking the river & Boscastle harbour. Large double & single bed with lots of space and the lovely fresh neutral decor made this one of the nicest rooms we've stayed in Cornwall. The Gourmet dinner on Friday consisted of seven courses of the highest quality food, served by really helpful waiting staff, who helped create a wonderful warm... More
