There is easy access to the North Cornish coastal footpath, with spectacular walks to nearby Tintagel or further along the coast to Port Isaac. A comfortable bed and an a excellent breakfast that is sure to impress awaits you at Boscastle House.
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
This is one of the best B&B's we have visited in more than 15 years of UK holidays. The owner, Dawn, was very personable and knowledgeable about hiking, touring, and eating. The Trelawny Room was elegant with a four-poster bed and garden view to the sea. Breakfasts ordered by email gave almost unlimited individual choices with a surprise special each day. If you are anywhere near Boscastle, definitely stay here.

It was lovely to meet you both and thrilling to read how high you rate our B&B. Gavin & I were so pleased to read how much you enjoyed staying with us and I enjoyed our little chats in the morning about your previous day and the day ahead planned. It was lucky that apart from the one day of rain, you managed to achieve everything you had hoped to do. Hope you keep hiking for as long as you can. Still lots to see in the UK.

From the day of arrival to leaving, the friendliness of Dawn and Gavin was exceptional!.....two lovely people and made us very welcome. The hotel was amazing and our room was lovely, very clean, comfortable and the views were amazing!. The breakfasts were like nothing we have had before, cooked and presented beautifully and we were emailed with menus the day before and the choice was amazing, in fact we were spoilt for choice!.....If you are thinking of visiting Boscastle then this hotel is the one to stay at, you will not be dissapointed!......It was our anniversary on one of the days of our stay and was greeted with a bouquet of flowers in our room......how thoughtful. Thanks again Dawn & Gavin for a wonderful stay!

A warm welcome from Dawn when I arrived at Boscastle House. The bedroom was lovely, very clean, nicely decorated and very comfortable. After a good night's sleep I was served an amazing breakfast, excellent choice and extremely well cooked, as it was on each day of my stay. Boscastle is a lovely village and harbour, lots of places to walk and good places nearby to visit. I will definitely return to stay at Boscastle House.

Wonderful stay in a beautiful B&B. Fantastic view from our room, which had everything you could want even down to sachets of squash. Amazing comfy bed. Gavin's breakfasts are the best we've had - such a varied choice and so many different flavours of jam. Dawn's friendliness, service and local knowledge was second to none. Nothing was too much trouble. If you want to visit North Cornwall, this is the place to stay! We will be back. Jill & Bob

What a wonderful experience staying at Boscastle house. Dawn and Gavin go above and beyond. I stay in hotels weekly for work, and this is the best breakfast I have ever tasted. The bed is so comfy I ended up taking a photo of the mattress make (Simba). The little touches are really thought about such as fresh milk in the room and sachets of squash. A great stay and we will be back.
