All on one level, warm with all you could ask for. Kitchen is well equipped, beds very comfortable, lounge is roomy. This is a good base to explore and we have enjoyed days at Rock, Padstow, Polzeath, Bude and of course Boscastle and Tintagel itself. Good food near by so you don't have to cook and you have to go to the boscastle farm shop... Book for lunch you should ont be disappointed and their sausages and meat is top quality!
