Self-catering holidays and Holiday cottages in Boscastle

Local info

Boscastle is a picturesque harbour village on Cornwall's dramatic north coast, owned in large part by the National Trust and set in a steep-sided valley where the Valency river meets the sea. Holiday cottages here put you within walking distance of the harbour, the village shops and pubs, and the South West Coast Path.

The village is home to the Museum of Witchcraft and Magic, and walks lead up the Valency Valley to St Juliot church, linked with the writer Thomas Hardy. Tintagel and its castle are just along the coast, making Boscastle an ideal base for exploring North Cornwall. Book direct with the owners and pay no booking fees.
