Can we have a BBQ?
Absolutely!
BBQs are available for your use. They are stored in the BBQ shelter near the car park area. You will need to provide our own charcoal which can be purchased locally from Boscastle Stores or Boscastle Spar.
Can we have farm eggs for breakfast?
Indeed there are.
The chickens are located on the grassed area opposite East and West Park on the lane into Cargurra. They are housed in chicken coops to keep them safe from foxes and excitable dogs. You’re really welcome to collect your own eggs for breakfast. They can be found in the nest box which is in the large green box and accessed by a side door. Please make sure the doors are closed for the hen’s safety and remember the eggs are for all the guests staying with us so please be considerate of this.

A bag of logs, kindling and fire lighters are provided. Additional logs and kindling can be purchased from Amy at £4 a bag or bought locally.
