Hello - we are the Harris Family - Carrie, Nick, Max, Isla & Tessa.

Over 12 years ago we packed up our little flat in London and embarked on lives as ex-pats. This has allowed us many wonderful experiences and memories however we always just wanted somewhere to call home.

Anchor Cottage is simply that - our home! We spend every Summer in Boscastle and many Christmas's too - we simply love the scenery, the seagulls, the beaches, the farm shop, the mussels, the seals and without a doubt the sunset on the cliffs!

We have been part of Penally Terrace, the best location in Boscastle for almost a decade. We were fortunate enough to find Gull Cottage in 2007 and because of that were even more fortunate to make Anchor Cottage our home in 2014.

Anchor Cottage has a wealth of history from the Harbour Masters house to a wonderful Bed and Breakfast when we first took ownership of it. You will see in the house an old plank that was found during the restoration signed by an apprentice in 1909! Upstairs there is a little shelf in the wall - this is an old doorway into a wardrobe in Gull Cottage!

However for us, our aim was a home for our family to enjoy for many years to come so we lovingly started a (long distance) 2 year renovation project in 2015.

Of course, there are still bills to pay so we decided that we would welcome a few families a year to also share our little piece of Cornwall. We only allow Anchor Cottage to be booked for a maximum of 12 weeks a year to keep the standards high and for all our guests to really enjoy the beauty of the cottage.
