"The view and setting really made the trip and the staff were so lovely, kind and helpful! Watching the sunset each evening outside on the rocks was glorious. The complementary breakfast was really great, fresh baked croissants and a list of hot options. The rooms were clean and basic but just want was needed really. The location was fantastic for some great walks and sightseeing. I really enjoyed our 2 nights there and would go back."

Top Merlins Cave Hotel Reviews

King Arthur's Arms Inn

8/10 Good

"Great sized room with lots of extras like bottles of water and amenity kits plus biscuits. Lots of nice touches like extra lighting above mirrors and blackout blinds made it a comfortable and good value stay. I ate in the restaurant and enjoyed the steak and ale pie. The staff were all friendly and helpful. Would have stayed an extra night if they had rooms available."

The Mill House Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Really nice place."

Camelot Castle Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Stayed in a small double room as it was the only room available at the time of booking. Clean and had all you need just the bed was small for two adults. Wonderful place with fantastic views overlooking the ocean and Tintagel Castle. We had afternoon tea and it was amazing seating by the window overlooking the Castle. I recommend this hotel for a unique experience just book in advance as it’s popular place to stay. There are nice pubs and cafes in the village itself with really good food if you don’t prebook dinner and breakfast. Don’t miss out when in Tintagel"

Fisherman's Cottage

10/10 Excellent

"Perfect location! Just a 5-minute walk to the South West Coast Path and the beach. All the restaurants in Tintagel are within walking distance. The house was very clean and equipped with everything you need. There was also a terrace, which we made great use of."

Cornish Holiday Home in Tintagel - New from Easter 2024

10/10 Excellent

"What a gem!We stayed for 7 nights in the summer, and I can honestly say that it is one of the best places we've stayed in (and we have stayed in a few!).The location was great - a short 10min stroll into Tintagel, with all its little cafes, pubs, and shops. The bus stop was right outside the house, there was plenty of parking in front of the house and the views - the sea on one side, rolling hills and countryside on the other. The house had everything we needed - comfy beds, a king-size in the master bedroom, plenty of kitchen utensils and even Alexa so that I could put on some radio/ music. The house was newly refurbished, everything still felt new. Check in and check out with quick and hassle free. We spent the week exploring the local area(s). Boscastle, coastal walks, body boarding, the Eden Project and Newquay (we had a jet ski safari booked). We discovered the most wonderful farm shop just outside Boscastle that sold incredible cakes - and went back several times. The pubs in Tintagel are great - friendly service, huge portions and really good quality food."
