Pros:

Boscastle est un joli village et l'hôtel est charmant.
La présence d'un bar, d'un restaurant et d'un parking sont des gros plus.
Le personnel est accueillant et bienveillant.

Cons:

La chambre est exigüe et située sous les toits. Il n'est pas facile de s'installer dans le lit.
Il n'y a aucune place pour poser une valise alors 2 c'est impossible.
La douche est dans un placard avec une porte qui ne ferme pas.

We had a really lovely four night stay.
Pros:

Location and set up was great - large bed was super comfy (although the duvet was a little too warm) and our room had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The bar area was welcoming and cosy, with plenty of choice and the staff were all very friendly and engaging.

Cons:

Nothing

Preis-Leistung passt für die Zimmer nicht
Pros:

Das Hotel liegt in Boscastle zentral. Das hoteleigene Restaurant/Pub ist sehr schön. An einem Abend hatten wir sogar Livemusik. Das Personal war superfreundlich und zuvorkommend. Wir hatten das Hotel kurzfristig gebucht, da wir dachten, dass es hier etwas luxuriöser sein würde und das wollten wir uns für eine Nacht gönnen. Leider wurden wir enttäuscht.

Cons:

Wir hatten Zimmer 8 und 13. Beide Zimmer waren extrem klein, so dass man kaum den Koffer aufstellen konnte. Bei einem Zimmer war das Doppelbett so in einer Ecke, dass die hinten liegende Person immer über die andere Person krabbeln musste und das zweite Zimmer hat extreme Dachschrägen, so dass man nur gebückt ins Bett kam. Auf unserer Rundreise durch Südwest-England war das die teuerste Unterkunft, aber auch diejenige mit den schlechtesten Zimmern. Ansonsten ist das Hotel schön und es hat vielleicht auch schöne Zimmer. Wir werden es nie erfahren. Parkplätze gibt es auch nicht ausreichend - wir hatten da aber wenigstens Glück und den letzten Stellplatz ergattert.

Absolutely Wonderful
Pros:

Absolutely beautiful such a charming location. Rooms were so gorgeous! Very clean very considered beautifully decorated and cozy! Staff were really incredible so sweet and down to earth and very helpful. To be honest I cant wait to go back again soon.

Cons:

I got the impression the ghost stories put a lot of people off and the staff were so sweet and were downplaying the stories of their spooky residents. But people interested in staying here need to understand this is a very old hotel in Cornwall!!! Myths and Legends are part of the DNA here ; just go with it enjoy it and leave the real world at home for a while.
