Formerly a 16th-century inn, this historic, quirky cottage is full of charm. Situated just above the pretty village of Boscastle in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, it is ideal for a family or couples seeking a Cornish property with character.

With its exposed beams, stone walls and flagstone floors, this delightful old property oozes history. The comfortable lounge, with its leather sofas and woodburner, is perfect for relaxing in the evening as the sun dips down. Cook up a meal in the spacious, well-equipped kitchen/diner – an ideal space for socialising after a day out in the sunshine. A second sitting area – the snug – offers a cosy alternative to the lounge and is a quiet space to relax with the newspaper after breakfast. The steep staircase leads up to three comfortable bedrooms, all of them full of character with exposed beams and sloping ceilings, and with stunning views of the lush countryside. Outside, the enclosed, private courtyard offers a delightful space to sit back with a drink and soak up the sunshine.

The picturesque village of Boscastle is full of history and its spectacular surrounding coastline has inspired many writers and artists, including Thomas Hardy. Further afield, the stunning coastline of North Cornwall beckons you. Wend your way through the scenic countryside to spectacular Tintagel (4.5 miles), the legendary birthplace of King Arthur, or head further south to picture-perfect Port Isaac (12 miles). For a day at the beach, glorious Bude (14 miles) is an easy 15-mile drive away.

Like I say there are the smell of damp, this could be a problem for people with chest problems. The beds are comfortable, ( the double & main beds that is). Garden was very disapointing, all you get is the front garden with a wall that a medium size dogs can easily jump( mine did quite a few times), it's a good job the brig inn isn't on aRead more very busy road!!. In some websites photo's you are shown the back garden, BUT this is I was told is private by the neighbour who came out of no where as soon as we arrived. Kitchen was well equipped, house in itself is conformable. The walk up from the village is quite a cardio workout, but their is a few good trails to be explored. If you are tall you could have issues in having a wash in the ensuite as the ceiling has quite a slope, and there are few low doorways, but this adds to the caricature of the old building. Like I say the garden was a let down for us, we took two dogs, and no field for them to go and have run. Hide

Comes with mice in rooms. We stayed one night for which we was charged for and we were refunded the rest. We have also lost fuel costs from liverpool. Unacceptable standards posing serious health risks.

Very quirky place to stay, but be sure to duck if your tall! Lots of low beams, low ceilings and doorways. As you can imagine the stone floors have had a lot of footfall since the 1600's so be prepared for uneaven floors. The house was warm and inviting on arrival and Boscastle is charming. The nearest pub is a few feet away which serves tasty foodRead more and has Shantie singers each Tuesday evening Hide

Amazing property with fantastic character and in an excellent location. Really great kitchen. Upstairs twin bedroom felt damp and those mattresses were past their best.
