I was pleasantly surprised by the hotel's prime location near the charming Boscastle river, ideal for exploring the area and enjoying the soothing sounds of the water. The rooms were comfortable, though slightly dated for the price, and the service was friendly and attentive. However, the dining experience was a mixed bag, with some delicious dishes but also some room for improvement. Overall, a lovely stay with some minor drawbacks.

The hotel has an overlooking view of the river, providing a light and airy atmosphere but faces out onto the main road, which can be a bit noisy. The price of £100 a night is a bit on the higher side.

The room had a lovely view overlooking the river, creating a light and airy atmosphere. However, being situated facing the main road could be a bit noisy. I wish there was something special added, especially considering it was our honeymoon trip.

The staff at the hotel were lovely, serving us with a sense of urgency in their tasks daily. They went above and beyond to help us with a problem that was beyond their usual duties.

The hotel's location in the heart of the quaint town of Boscastle is perfect, right by the little river that flows through to the sea. It links up with the South West Coastal Path, making it ideal for walking with various restaurants and shops nearby.
