A former 16th century Inn, this delightful picturesque cottage is a perfect retreat and base to explore the historic village of Boscastle and beyond.

Situated in an elevated position above the village of Boscastle, just a short walk will take you into the village itself. Explore the picturesque harbour or stop for a bite to eat in one of the cafes before venturing along the coastal path to one of the many sandy beaches and sheltered coves that are dotted along this stretch of coastline. 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.

Stepping inside this former inn through the low doorway, you will find yourself in the porch area, perfect for storing coats and shoes. The snug area with exposed ship beams throughout is the perfect place to relax with a good book in front of the multi-fuel stove. Step up into the lounge with an abundance of character, you can cosy up in front of the second multi-fuel stove and watch your favourite film on the TV/DVD after a busy day exploring. The well-equipped kitchen area has an electric oven and hob, microwave, fridge/freezer and washing machine. The dining area has seating for everyone as is perfect for a family meal to discuss the days activities. A steep cottage style staircase takes you up to the first floor where you will find a separate seating area on the landing, perfect for the little ones and here are the three bedrooms. The master super-king-size with en-suite shower room and WC offers duel aspect windows with superb rolling countryside views out over the church, the light and airy double bedroom is next along with a twin with seating area. Completing the accommodation is a bathroom with shower over bath and WC.

A lovely cottage in a lovely village. Only let down by bad coal fire smell in television room (used coal put back in open coal bucket) and not being aired regularly throught the whole cottage. We had no broadband for the first two days but this was solved by contact. Otherwise we had a great week Nd would recommend to anyone looking for a cottage iRead moren North Cornwall. Hide

Fantastic property in stunning Boscastle.. Definitely recommend it. Parking is a bit tricky, I parked over night in the doctors surgery 2 mins down the hill and didnt get a ticket. Only a suggestion, not guaranteeing you wont get one..

Love Boscastle. Loved the history of the cottage. Cottage needs updating and a few issues with appliances which Im sure would be sorted out. The pretty walk down to the harbour is about 3/4 mile but a steep hill back up. Its perfect for dogs! Plenty of walks and the small stream to play in. Handy little dog shop for shampoo and spray so no smelly, Read moredirty dog in the house. Lovely shops. Witches museum is a must. Nice beach (short car journey) Trebarwith, Padstow, Port Issac 1/2h drive Hide

Parking was an issue, no garden and the shower water pressure was low. Storage heater that were on during the heatwave was unfortunate. Apart from that the cottage was cosy and beds were very comfy. We had a lovely time.

Excellent property full of character and history. Location was perfect for us as we like walking and we found the walk into Boscastle refreshing. The napoleon inn served some great meals and all at reasonable prices. Highly recommend staying here and we would gladly return.

Lovely characteristic cottage. Felt very cosy. In a lovely location, but parking wasnt good. Oven needs upgrading as wasnt very efficient and it was hard to maintain hot water first thing for showers etc, immersion heater was linked to night storage. No outside area which wasnt mentioned and patio area could be made more inviting as its a very smalRead morel place. Hide
