The Old Rectory offers luxury bed and breakfast in a historic house. Situated near Boscastle on the beautiful North Cornish Coast. Within an hours drive of the M5 at Exeter. An ideal base to visit Cornwall's Eden Project, Lanhydrock House, a variety of Cornish gardens, unspoilt beaches and many other Cornish treasures.

 

Our house is surrounded by 3 acres of beautiful mature south facing gardens including a productive Victorian walled garden. Thomas Hardy stayed here as a young architect and met and fell in love with Emma Lavinia Gifford. The romance led to the novel "A Pair of Blue Eyes", and to some of his finest poetry.

 

The house has been recently updated and decorated in period style. It is centrally heated throughout. Guests have their own Sitting Room which they can use during the day with seasonal log fires.

 

The walled garden supplies ample fresh fruit and vegetables in season, as well as free range eggs. Breakfast, cooked on an Aga, is served in the Entrance Hall and consists of a wide range of Cornish produce including our home made marmalade and preserves.

 

Guests are welcome to enjoy a drink in the guests sitting room, or on our viewing deck overlooking the Valency valley and sea.

 

All the produce we use is either from the garden or sourced locally and we use Fair Trade products where possible.  Come and stay as our guests and enjoy a brush with history.
