The service was lovely and so was the food. They don't have their own website and there was no menu available online, but they mostly do traditional English fare. Food came out quickly and was hot - eggs cooked perfectly! All in all a nice atmosphere for a family meal and relatively inexpensive. They had several specials on their blackboards advertising lunch, so will have to come back to try that out!

The Harbour Light Tea Garden, is set apart from the main centre of Boscastle and adjacent to the…read moreMuseum of Witchcraft. A good range of outdoor seating, which was bustling and full up on the day we visited, courtesy of it being a glorious summer's day; the filled sandwiches and slices of cake looked very tasty, as they seemed to constantly arrive from the kitchen. We managed to get a table inside, and decided on light snack of a teacake and to sample the Tregothnan tea (Cornish tea). The peppermint tea was light and refreshing, just perfect for a hot summer's day. The kitchen inside was a hive of activity, as more and more people descended on the tea rooms. We would have liked to sample more of the menu, but sadly we had a long journey ahead of us that day, but there's always the next time we visit Boscastle!

Very friendly staff, a nice setting with some tables outside to watch the world go by. Fair prices as well and dogfriendly. A sunny day, so we took a table outside. Ordered the classic cornish pasty with steak filling. And it was a fine pasty. But not the best we've ever had. The pasty could have been crispier, the filling a bit more spiced up. Did taste a bit bland. But recipes are different, tastes are different. It was good - but not great. Nice was the size, a really big pasty with lots of stuffing. It's really a whole meal for itself. All in all still a fine visit. The location was great, we enjoyed sitting down and to watch all the action.

Drogo is more interesting than the National Trust gives it credit for. If you can look beyond the…read morefaux-heritage associations, it's a very modern design.

Oh my, this castle has some of the silliest reviews I've ever seen on Yelp. One visitor is…read moredissatisfied that this building from 1911(!) is not medieval enough. Another complains that this is not a castle (actually, it perfectly fits the definition), and that the residents did nothing of importance. As opposed to all those achievements of the vast majority of British nobleman who spent their life sitting on their ass collecting rent from tenants? At least this man worked hard to build his own fortunate as a grocer; a true self-made man whose had-work and ingenuity allowed him to retire by age 33 (though he never stopped working). That's more than I can say for most noblemen. In reality, this 20th century castle is a beautiful building designed by one of the great 20th century British architects, Lutyens, who is also responsible for the famous London Cenotaph. Unfortunately, flaws in the building design, relating to the use of asphalt for roofing, allowed the building to suffer nearly a century of water damage. Since asphalt was quite new at the time, nobody fully understood how it would behave over time; that it would expand and contract with fluctuations in the temperature, and that it would eventually harden and crack. The National Trust is now lovingly restoring the building, which gives users a unique 'behind-the-scenes' look at how a castle is built. What this means in practice is that they allow you to still visit the interior, albeit partially boarded up but with displays to show you its ordinary appearance and to tell you more about the history and work in progress. But you also get to climb up the scaffolding to look down into the building, which currently has its roof removed. A unique opportunity! Drogo was a great Easter destination for kids too. They did an easter egg hunt, and they had an indoor game for children as well, helping them to learn more about life in the castle. And no matter what time of year, you can enjoy the gardens, have a picnic or play games on the croquet lawn, or enjoy a good lunch at the cafe. I had a savory scone that was delicious, and my husband enjoyed a mushroom and cheddar pasta bake that was quite impressive too. The cafe and gift shop are accessible even without paying the entry fee!

There are many delights to be found along the coast of Cornwall, but I wasn't expecting a surfer's hangout. Known for their all day breakfast, if you can find parking along the shoulder, you will walk down a path to this casual little cafe. Keep descending and you wind up on Whitsand Bay. There are a number of tables outdoors to soak in the sun and enjoy the gorgeous views. The food was fine and service was average. But, the atmosphere was everything.

We returned three times over our visit because it was so great. Fantastic, piping hot breakfasts, friendly staff and outside benches with stunning views out over the bay all add up to basically the best cafe experience in the area. Well worth climbing up the hill from any of the chalets, from across the road at the holiday park or even driving up from Millbrook. Thoroughly recommended.

As with most of Cornwall the welcome is warm, car parking is often daylight robbery and very difficult to find and everything is priced to the max.
