We had booked a weekend at Boscundle Manor last December, a nice break for us both especially as I was 8 months pregnant. Mother nature being against us decided to have major snow storms that day and in a traumatic journey that lasted 9 hours (instead of 1.5) we eventually arrived at the manor at 11.30 pm! What greeted us was surly the most wonderful site ever. Boscundle is beautiful and on a cold snowy night look so warm and inviting. Although the hour was extremely late, we were greeted warmly, given a glass of champagne and nibbles allowed to freshen up and then shown to the dining room where the chef had stayed on and then cooked us the most fantastic 3 course meal. Our whole weekend was so fantastic, we were so pampered with gorgeous food, hot chocolate in the afternoons, delicious breakfasts and the suite (room 3) we were in was so luxurious and extravagant it was the most fabulous weekend. I hope we can return with our new addition in the near future

On the strength of the Good Hotel Guide 2002 we stayed at this excellent small hotel last year, and were so impressed that we booked for a longer stay in September this year. We cannot speak too highly of the ambience, comfort and cuisine. The whole hotel has been redecorated in elegant, tranquil colours. Dinner is taken in a candle lit panelled dining room, while breakfast is served in the conservatory. The choice at breakfast was quite the best we experienced in any of the hotels we stayed in during our recent holiday in the south west. A five course was also beautifully cooked with a choice of four starters, main courses sweets and a good selection of local cheeses (although we did find the portions over generous.) The menu is complimented by a very reasonably priced wine list. Our bedroom was spacious and comfortable with an en-suite bathroom containing a walk in shower as well as a bath. After dinner we were tempted to linger over coffee in the hotel lounge where comfortable sofas and arm chairs, as well as the log fire made us feel very much at home.
