Once again my wife and I were immensely pleased with our stay at the Old Rectory. Chris and Sally left most of the hosting this time to their daughter Anna and she made us just as welcome. She gave us the opportunity to meet her pigs and sheep which was an added bonus on our second day; feeding pigs was... More

Travel is always a relative thing; experience is individual. I have stayed in a fair amount of BnBs in England, and have stayed in many places throughout Europe and North America. That said, any traveler's experience is always ultimately local, so I don't know how much one person's more or less extensive travel equates to an equitable review of a... More

This was our honeymoon booking. We stayed for a week at the end of Oct in the Stable Block of the Old Rectory as we wanted to take our dogs with us. We could not have wished for a better place to have taken our honeymoon. Sally and Chris (the ownwers) could not have made us more welcome. The location... More

Wonderful house and Sally was a wonderful host with a welcoming pot of tea on our arrival. Beatiful gardens too not to be missed. Very peaceful, made to feel very wecome and just outside of Boscastle - what more could we ask! We would definatlely use again

Warm welcome and very friendly hosts. Superb location - very peaceful retreat away from the crowds, but in a beautiful setting and with a lovely garden.

The cliffs walks in Boscastle are a work out for the legs, the Coastal Path and Camel Trail in Padstow more relaxing. There is an excellent coffee shop/tea room overlooking the harbour in Padstow just before the... More

Sally and Chris are really good hosts and knowledgable about the area. They really want... More
