Anchor Cottage is beautifully presented and equipped. Very comfortable and more than big enough for only the 4 of us for the week. The location is great, with fantastic views from the terrace across the harbour and to the headland points on the coast, with incredible scenary along the soutwest coastal path to Bossiney Haven and across to Tintagel.
If you are planning to go anywhere outside of Boscastle in the car you will run the gauntlet of visitors to the harbour but as long as you're patient that was easy enough.
As a base, Boscastle was great, the roads were pretty good and it's easy to get to the beaches near Bude or to Tintagel to see the castle. We used a company called Freewave for Surf lessons and they were excellent.
A couple of niggles were overcome very quickly by Nick, the owner, with extremely prompt communication. Would recommend and would stay again.
