Before choosing where to stay

Strategic Location

The town center lies along the A39, offering easy access for self-drive travelers. While lacking large hotel chains, the quiet town center provides a serene base for guests prioritizing peace and proximity to rural attractions.

Transport Links

Public rail service ceased in 1966. Travelers should rely on the A39 road network. Renting a car is highly recommended to navigate the region effectively, as public transport options are limited.

Best Time to Visit

Spring and summer offer the best weather for exploring Bodmin Moor and the river valleys. Staying during these months allows guests to fully enjoy outdoor activities and the natural beauty of Cornwall.

Dining

The Rocket Store

Restaurant£££7.0 km

Ticking all the boxes for a coastal seafood restaurant, this compact and pretty ‘shed’ is found in a picturesque harbour village and was once used to store the coastguard’s rocket-firing equipment. The chef’s father is a fisherman and brings his catch to the restaurant every day, while other ingredients come from the family's farm in the hills above Boscastle. All this local produce is fashioned into a blackboard-written menu of bright, fresh dishes such as butterflied mackerel with vibrant nahm jim. The friendly, enthusiastic service adds to the experience.
