The local area

If you’ve always dreamt of staying in a proper old fisherman’s cottage and falling asleep to the sound of the sea, choose a holiday in Boscastle, and we promise you’ll fall in love with this tiny fishing village.

Set in a steep, narrow ravine between Tintagel and Crackington Haven in North Cornwall, little has changed here over the years and Boscastle remains beautifully unspoilt. Pretty stone houses with wonky rooftops and white-washed cottages cling to the banks of the River Valency as it winds down to a sheltered natural harbour and medieval stone quay.

Holidays in Boscastle are idyllic, perfect for romantic getaways. Soak up stunning sea views, indulge in cream teas and real Cornish ale at the handful of cafes and pubs and browse the selection of shops, potteries and galleries. There’s even a quirky museum of witchcraft and magic!

Aside from the picture-perfect old buildings, the main draw to Boscastle is the stunning coastal scenery. Pack a picnic and walk along the South West Coast Path, passing Boscastle’s blowhole and up onto the headlands. From here, you can walk all the way to Tintagel, with a well-deserved break at Bossiney Cove, whilst being treated to spectacular scenery and never-ending sea views.

You can also follow in the footsteps of famous novelist Thomas Hardy by walking through the wooded valley to St Juliot’s church. Hardy worked as an architect during the renovation of the church, when he met, and fell in love, with his wife Emma. Unsurprisingly, the romance inspired many of his most famous novels and poems.

From Boscatle, you can enjoy some of Cornwall’s most magical days out. Visit the dramatic cliff top ruins of Tintagel Castle, the legendary birthplace of King Arthur, and marvel at the 60ft waterfall of St Nectan’s Glen. Watch surfers riding the huge Atlantic waves at Trebarwith Strand, or don a wetsuit and join a lesson with Trebarwith Surf School to give it a go yourself. To top it all off, grab a bottle of wine and some reusable cups and follow the coast path to the impressive geological peephole, the Lady’s Window, then sit down and watch the sunset – it’s sure to be the highlight of your Boscastle holiday.
