Situated in an elevated position above the harbour, a short walk downhill will take you into Boscastle’s village centre with its picturesque harbour, shops, restaurants, pubs and access to the coastal footpath. The sandy beaches of Bossiney, Trebarwith Strand and Crackington Haven and the surfing beaches at Bude and Polzeath are within driving distance. The popular fishing towns of Port Isaac and Padstow are within easy reach, both boasting independent shops, cafes, restaurants and galleries, while a little further afield, cultural sites such as King Arthur’s Castle, Llanhydrock House and The Lost Gardens of Heligan are waiting to be explored.

This lovely deceptively spacious cottage offers plenty of charm and character and a great quirky layout. Step into the hallway which is a useful place to hang coats or store muddy boots after an adventurous walk. You will pass the contemporary shower room with shower, WC and underfloor heating and head into the kitchen where you can cook your favourite meals, with electric oven and gas hob, fridge/freezer, microwave, dishwasher, or plan your day ahead at the breakfast bar. There is also a twin bedroom off the kitchen. Head up to the first floor to the lounge/diner and curl up with your favourite book in front of the wood burner or enjoy your favourite programme on the Smart TV. The master double bedroom is also located upstairs and overlooks the river it also has a sink.

Heading outside from the kitchen is a small private, secluded courtyard here you can relax with your morning coffee and plan the day ahead and in the evenings enjoy a spot of al fresco dining with a BBQ. There is also a useful utility cupboard located in the courtyard which houses the washing machine. A parking permit is provided for one car and can be used in the small community centre car park diagonally opposite the cottage.

We loved this well-equipped, cosy, stylish accommodation as a base for walking on the South West Coast Path. It had everything we needed plus a welcome pack of Cornish cider, shortbread and fresh milk.

Theres also a handy little park for dog walks. We loved it & hope to be back one day. Hide

The best-presented cottage & equipped cottage we've stayed in. Outside is a tasteful, quaint garden/courtyard with a bbq. The cottage was very clean on arrival. Parking space in the adjacent village hall was very convenient. The cottage sleeps 4, but would be a squeeze for 4 adults. Near to the harbour, but the walk back is up a steep hill.

We would recommend this cottage to anyone wishing to visit the Boscastle area. Everything was absolutely pristine clean. Equipment within the cottage had everything you have at home, right down to the Iron and Ironing board. There were three of us in our party and we had plenty of space and comfort.

Thank you for a wonderful stay at the cottage. We loved the quirky layout, the comfortable beds and hot shower. The outdoor area was a lovely spot for a morning coffee or an early evening gin.

We had a lovely half term break at Rivers Brink. Perfectly situated for access to Boscastle and surrounding areas. The added bonus of off street parking was much appreciated. Rivers Brink is set on a steep road into Boscastle which is not for the faint hearted! The cottage was modern, clean and well equipped.

A small but characterful cottage which is full of charm. It is ideal for 2 adults. There is a twin bedroom downstairs but the kitchen table would be a squeeze for 4. The approach is one way down an extremely narrow street with a ditch to the left but ok with care. As in many old cottages tall people have to watch their head particularly in bathroomRead more.
