Nothing. All great.

Beautiful house, superb room, delicious breakfasts. Hosts went above and beyond to ensure our stay was perfect. And Pippa the golden retriever is adorable!

What a wonderful stay! Immersed in a park like estate, where do you get such a wonderful breakfast with homegrown eggs and vegetables? Really a unique experience, with wonderful hosts.

A fantastic place to stay. The owners were super friendly and welcoming giving us really interesting information on the history of the house and area. Seemed happy to give us time to show us the gardens and talk to us, nothing seemed a problem. I also loved the relaxed atmosphere at breakfast. The owners made everyone feel relaxed and easy to chat with each other. Strange I'm normally shy but felt very comfortable. Thank you xx

Our room was wonderful and the breakfast was delicious. The hosts are welcoming and we enjoyed talking to them very much. The garden is a gem. We really enjoyed it a lot and would highly recommend the Old Rectory! The only small thing that irritated me was that the room was serviced rather poorly, only the bin was emptied and the mugs were replaced. The bed wasn't made, the cookie jar wasn't refilled and when we came back in the evening the bath was just as we had left it. It was my birthday and I would have felt more welcome in the evening with a "perfect" room service. But nevertheless: all in all it was just wonderful!

Nothing. Our two day stay was great.

The Old Rectory has the most amazing history. We stayed in the Thomas Hardy room and read a booklet about some of Harry’s life story. Fascinating. The house is very old but has wonderful decor very in keeping with the house’s history. The huge gardens are amazing and the family work very hard to manage the flowering gardens, trees and the walled vegetable garden. Huge trees surround the property and it is very quiet. Tiny country lanes lead to the property but instructions of how to find the property are very clear. Friendly hostess and fantastic breakfast round off a great stay.

Nothing to dislike about The Old Rectory.

It's a marvellous place. Very well furnished, tidy and clean. You could not wish for better accommodation. A selection of breakfasts just put the icing on the cake. The hosts are very amicable, and nothing is too much trouble. I highly recommend this accommodation.

The mugs and glasses in our room weren't changed for the duration of our stay, nor was the cookie jar topped up. We were puzzled by this. We didn't need the towels changing so that as Ok ; but we were puzzled by the room not being "made up" while we out. I am sure it was just an oversight.

Breakfast delicious. The actual property was spectacular. The room was great, the location of the Old Rectory was lovely. The best bit was being able to sit in the garden and relax in peace and listen to and watch the birds.

If you are thinking of staying at The Old Rectory, Boscastle you are in for a real treat. This quintessentially English B and B offers a truly peaceful break “far from the madding crowd!” The gardens are beautiful with private places to sit and reflect. The kitchen garden is full of fruit and vegetables and the breakfast eggs are freshly laid by the resident hens. The rooms are comfortable and ours had a stunning view of the garden. I have to say that over the years I have never seen a house so lovingly restored as The Old Rectory. We particularly loved the eco credentials, the tour of the solar panels and biomass boiler and my wife enjoyed using the eco toiletries in the bathroom.

The Thomas Hardy bedroom was a bit small for a three night stay, not much room for luggage. Having said that I believe there are larger rooms which I would request if staying again. I would have preferred breakfast earlier than 8:45am; when travelling every moment is precious! These are small details that were not enough to diminish the absolute pleasure of staying at The Old Rectory, hence a score of 10

The hosts were welcoming and friendly. The actual property is just divine, with the conservatory available for guests. We ate our tea in there twice. A conservatory is not something we see in hot Australia. The garden is truly spectacular with magnificent, sweeping views from a vantage point that has seating and all one requires for an evening glass of wine while surveying the exquisite view. The beautiful walled garden, from where fresh food was served at breakfast, was very, very special; a major highlight in our holiday. of course I will not share photos of the walled garden; aren’t all walled gardens Secret Gardens? The thrill of opening the door into the walled garden must be every visitor’s special delight. Our stay at The Old Rectory was such that it was far and away our favourite part of our holiday.

We couldn't stay longer. It drizzled all day on our first day, we only stayed over the weekend. Our Sat Nav took us the long way through narrow lanes, it was dark as we were late arrivals. We didn't use that route again.

We loved the History and location of this beautiful Rectory. Our breakfast choice was more than enough and delicious. The Rectory and its gardens are beautiful. The owners were very welcoming, friendly and helpful regarding the history of the Rectory and Boscastle. Including surrounding areas of interest to visit. A lovely quiet stay in the countryside. We'd stay there again but try a different room if possible. Thank you to the owners, for making our stay so lovely.

Wish we had stayed longer

We were welcomed generously by Chris with a cup of tea, and lots of information about the house and the area. The room (Emma's room) was beautiful. Proper coffee and a choice of tea. Real milk available from the fridge. The walled garden was amazing. We loved it.

Everything was spotlessly clean. Very welcoming and fantastic hosts. Nothing was too much trouble at all.

The owner made us feel so welcome and the room was sympathetically decorated to the age of the house but facilities were modern and excellent. Nothing was too much trouble and the choice of breakfast was amazing.

that we only had two nights and had to say goodbye to the beautiful pup, Pippa!

it is more what didn’t we like…answer is there was nothing we didn’t like! from the charm of the environment to the warm hospitality to the high level of comfort and privacy…the entire stay was truly a privilege. Sally’s connection to her home and the history adds a special piece of charm. with a huge passion for sustainability and care of the earth, Sally shared her values without pushing them. we can’t wait to come back!
