Guests that stayed at this property said
The majority of guests found the cottage to be clean and well-maintained, with only a few isolated comments about cobwebs and a damp smell. The overall impression is that the property is kept to a high standard of cleanliness.
The location is praised for its stunning views and proximity to local attractions. However, the steep and narrow access roads, along with parking difficulties, have affected the score. The location is not ideal for those with mobility issues.
Guests generally find the cottage cosy and warm, especially with the log burner. However, there are several mentions of uncomfortable beds and sofas, which suggests that some furnishings may need updating for improved comfort.
Facilities are generally well-received, with the cottage being well-equipped. Nonetheless, there are recurring issues with parking, the shower, and some maintenance concerns like the log burner not working, which impacts the score.
While some guests mentioned a welcome pack, there is not enough consistent information about thoughtful touches or gifts to accurately score this category. It should be noted that such amenities are subject to change and not guaranteed.
About this property
This dear little 18th century, semi-detached cottage sits at the top of the famous Cornish village of Boscastle, where two rivers meet the sea in a natural harbour between steep moorland hillsides. Enjoying lovely long views over the village to the sea, this neat-as-a-pin cottage provides cosy accommodation for families wanting to explore this dramatic stretch of the north Cornish coast. Relax in the comfy open plan sitting room, kitchen and dining area with low beams and wood burning stove neatly tucked into the inglenook fireplace. Theres a neat little entrance porch with plenty of room for coats and boots. On the upper floor, two comfortable bedrooms, a double with those lovely long views and a glimpse of the sea, a twin and a bathroom with bath, shower over, basin and WC, also enjoying a good view. Outside, a neat, enclosed shrub-filled garden with those delightful views. Its a short stroll to the dramatically beautiful harbour entrance (lovely cliff top walks), as well as the villages shops, pubs, cafés and spooky witchcraft museum. If you like a little action, head for the nearby local pony-trekking stables or the fine surfing beach at Trebarwith Strand. Fuchsia Cottage is a great spot for exploring this dramatic and beautiful stretch of the north Cornish coastline any time of the year.
A perfect Cornish coastal village, the road through Boscastle runs down to the small harbour at the bottom of the hill. The quaint village shops, local restaurants and pubs offering good food, Cornish real ales and live entertainment by local musicians, make this an ever popular visitor destination.

It enabled us to have a lovely time. It could do with some coat hooks downstairs and we were very unhappy about not being able to recycle or compost anything. We produced a vast amount of rubbish during the week while we usually produce less than a third of an ordinary carrier bag. Also a light weight duvet for the summer months or at least a choice.

The curtains seemed they might break in any moment, so we were afraid moving around as a there was a £100 bond. The freezer was full with a bag of ice and frozen veggies, the humid smell was quite strong and a wall by the entrance was dampish, but apart from that we had a wonderful time. The parking situation wasn't ideal, first night was a challenge to find where to park, the following nights was better.
