How to find us

By Car...

Improved motorway links have put North Cornwall within easy reach. The A30 is dual carriageway from the M5, with fast roads connecting Bude, Camelford, Wadebridge and Padstow:

• From Exeter, take the A30 until just past Launceston. At the Kennard's House exit sign posted to North Cornwall, take the A395. After approximately 9 miles you will see "Poppies Cafe" on your right hand side. Take the right turn immediately after this, sign posted "Boscastle".
  
  This will bring you to the main A39, where you turn left and then immediately turn right. Follow this road to the B3266, where at the T-junction, you turn right to Boscastle.
  
  As you enter the village, you will pass a garage on your left and at the T-junction, turn right sign posted to Boscastle harbour. Follow this road down into the valley, where The Riverside is on your right just after the bridge.

• From Barnstaple, take the A39 to Bude, continuing on the main A39, heading for Camelford. Approximately 10 miles past Bude, take the B3263 sign posted to Boscastle.
  
  Follow this road into the village. You will go past the car park on your left, with The Riverside is approximately 50 metres along the road on your left.
