Private parking in Boscastle is quite rare and street parking impossible for most of the year throughout the village. Many other rental properties don't mention parking because it can be problematic if they don't have their own (which most don't). The property is located just off the historic centre of the village with its castle mound and picture book cottages. Nearby traditional pubs, full of character and serving great food together with village shops from the mystical to the village bakery are all within a few minutes walking distance. Guest access Sleeps 6 in three bedrooms (2 doubles and 1 twin) Other things to note The property has steep steps down to the front door. The traditional slate can get slippery when wet. Alternatively the property can be approached along the garden path from the car parking area. The bathroom is on the ground floor. Parking in a private bay for 2 medium cars albeit a little tight. Additional street parking on the road just up Forrabury Hill opposite our car bay or on road parking outside the property from October to April.
