The Experience

Tucked back from pretty Boscastle harbour, this storied 16th-century inn is a short stroll to invigorating clifftop walks along the South West Coast Path. North Cornwall is a delight to explore on two legs or four – it’s rugged, wild and untouched.

Stuffed to the gills with history, three of the inn’s rooms are said to be haunted. Not that it shows after a smart refurbishment. The turreted façade hides a characterful, fire-warmed bar while upstairs the high-ceilinged dining rooms are just the sort of place you’ll want to feast on freshly cooked pub classics. There are a few inventive dishes to try and breakfast is a treat too. On sunny days head to the decked terrace.

Bedrooms come in four sizes, the best are tucked in the turrets with rolltop baths, the smallest will suit solo travellers or those on a short stay. All have spanking en suites with rainfall showers and locally made smellies for a post-stomp glow up.

Reviews

St Austell Brewery lavished money on this striking turreted building in early 2025. Just across the road from Boscastle's beautiful harbour with access to dramatic coast path walks, it's now one of their flagship coastal inns, offering 14 cosy, refurbished rooms (the best two are in the turret), a popular bar and terrace for enjoying pints of Tribute, and classic pub food cooked well.

Location

The neighbourhood

With a picturesque natural harbour, bustling on high days and holidays, the charming village of Boscastle is framed by steep cliffs and wild coastline. Explore Bodmin Moor or take a wine tour at Camel Valley Vineyard, both about 20 miles away. For food lovers, Port Isaac (15 miles) is home to Nathan Outlaw’s renowned restaurant, while Padstow (25 miles) is home to Rick Stein's.
