'The weather was wet and windy as we walked the SW coastal path and we needed the comfort and friendliness of the staff at the Riverside. We had a lovely spacious room with views over the harbour from the bathroom. The evening meal was excellent and the breakfast one of the best we have had. High quality served with a smile.'

Riverside - good value and welcoming
5 stars 5

'We used the Riverside as our base for a couple of days walking on the coast path and it turned out to be the ideal choice. The rooms were very well kept , clean and roomy with a lovely view of the Valency rushing down past the hotel. The staff were really helpful , efficient and attentive and the breakfasts were superb. We ate both evenings in the restaurant which was really good both on terms of quality and choice . All in all highly recommended. Jon Smale'

A wonderful place
5 stars 5

'We stayed at 'The Riverside' for three nights and had a wonderful time. The staff were welcoming and made you feel at ease. The chef (Darren) produced excellent meals. The room was spacious and had everything required. Boscastle itself is lovely and we will definitely be returning. We will be staying at The Riverside; we are sure nothing else would compare. Our only disappointment was that our stay wasn't longer!'

'Hiking along the coast is an awe-inspiring experience and the Riverside Hotel is an excellent base for any such daytrips. The heartily atmosphere, the delicious cuisine and the cosy rooms of the Riverside contribute to a wonderful holiday. (The only improvement I could suggest would be double glazed windows to reduce the impressive sound level of the thundering river.)'

5 stars 5

'Have stayed here possibly 8 or 9 times now over the last 12 years. Breakfasts are reliably excellent - varied and flexible menu - and are served up to a very civilised 10.30am (we aren't morning people). It's an old building right on the river and within a very short walk of the harbour and access to the cliff tops. Good pubs nearby - just a few seconds away. Old building does mean you have to put up with creaky floorboards in the rooms but if you can cope with that its a comfortable stay with great views.'

Chocolate cheesecake a must!
5 stars 5

'Most impressive was the service in the restaurant; nice food served with a smile. We were made very welcome. The hotel has some historic charm and is well positioned right next to the river in the village centre. The room was comfortable and clean. The en-suite had underfloor heating - very impressive - but the sink size was too small (our only criticism). The chocolate cheesecake in the restaurant was out of this world, clearly made by a chef with character.'

5 stars 5

'This is a welcoming guest house, exceptionally clean, the greeting and service is very good, you feel if you need anything then they would only be too quick to help. The room we had was very comfortable, warm and exceptionally clean. Big TV and factilities to make tea and coffee. The Guest House is in a central location in BOSCASTLE and parking is simple in the nearby car park. Breakfast is amongst the best you could have esepcially if you choose the fish course - choice of 3, salmon, kippers or smoked haddock. The full english is also very good Highly recommended if you want to stay in that part of Cornwall, plenty to do an see. Boscastle is delightful and the work that has been done since the floods is amazing.... the'

'My partner and I stayed at the Riverside over a weekend in early November. The village was very quiet and the Hotel only half full. We received a very warm welcome and was quickly shown to our room and given some local advice about where to eat and drink etc. The rooms are very nice, although could probably benefit from modernisation. The river is quite noisy although not intrusive. The restaurant is clean, modern, the service is brilliant and the food excellent. In sum, a very nice and comfortable place to stay and I would definitely stay there again. Recommended.'

Excellent location right in the middle of Boscastle with nearby car park. If I'm to be picky, the only downside was the sound of the river flowing outside which was quite loud at night. Luckily, there were cotton wool balls in the bathroom which we used as ear plugs.'

5 stars 5

'My family and I have eaten at the Riverside many times in the past and were always impressed by the excellent food and service. After and equally excellent weekend stay at the hotel last year, my fiancee and I decided to have our wedding celebration in the hotel. We filled the hotel to capacity for 4 nights with our guests (from Germany and England) and had a wonderful wedding day celebration, where we enjoyed the delicious Riverside carvery or fish and chips! The Riverside staff were wonderful from start to finish and really went above and beyond the call of duty to make our special day perfect. Many of our wedding guests arrived at the hotel late in the night from Germany and were all greeted warmly and immediately made to feel welcome, despite the late hour! The Riverside hotel is a very special place and I would highly recommend both the restaurant and hotel accomodation to anybody.'

Not what we expected
5 stars 5

'We wanted a weekend in Cornwall so hunted around on the internet to find a likely place saw the Riverside and tried to book but it was full. Before hanging up and looking elsewhere I asked reception if they would call me if they had a cancellation (not really expecting to hear from them). A month or so later I had a call out of the blue from Ross at the Riverside asking If I was still looking as they had a cancellation, a price was agreed and the confirmation received via email, a few weeks later we left for Boscastle. Based on the price, our expectations were not very high although the reviews of the Riverside were pretty good. But not really good enough it turns out ! All of the staff were friendly cheerful and helpful. Nothing was too much trouble for any of them. Our room was spotless comfortable and well appointed, with a view down to the river below. We eat out on the first night of our stay at the Cobweb Inn up the road, which was very good. The following morning we went down to breakfast and had a brilliant selection of foods offered all of which were prepared superbly. That night we ate in the restaurant and had an excellent meal including soup,Japanese Prawns, & Steak the service again being friendly & attentive. I really could not fault this brilliant little hotel and its staff not five stars but six Thank You'

Best Value in North Cornwall

'This was our fourth visit. Our room was clean, spacious, comfortable and with a lovely view looking down the valley towards the harbour and the sea. Dinner in the restaurant was truly excellent and the staff could not have been more pleasant and helpful. We have stayed at many hotels on the North Cornish coast and, in terms of value for money, this is by far the best - another hotel we stay at regularly has better facilities for a rainy day but the room rate is more than three times as expensive as the Riverside's!'

Relaxing and Welcoming Stay
5 stars 5

'We were welcome at The Riverside from the moment the door opened when we arrived, until the moment we left a couple of days later. Checking in was the easiest we have ever encountered and we were shown to our room (Room 2) on the 1st floor which overlooked the river with views down towards the harbour. The room was well appointed with everything that you could possibly want. We took our evening meals at the hotel too. Service in the restaurant, as throughout the hotel, is marvellous. The menu is wide and caters for all tastes. The food itself is just excellent. Not a single scrap of food went back to the kitchen from our plates during our stay. Breakfast is of a high quality with a variety of cooked options available, and no wonder that it is award-winning. There are cereals, fruit juices and fish available for breakfast too. We had a relaxing and enjoyable stay here, were treated well throughout our stay and have no hesitation is recommending it to others and will return in the future I am sure.'
