The Port William

8/10 Good

"No AC on this very warm summer stay, but otherwise wonderful. Great beach but not a long beach for walking. Great access to coastal path. Having pub right there was lovely."

Tintagel Arms Bed and Breakfast

10/10 Excellent

"We booked in for 1 night to extend our stay in Tintagel. Lovely B&B . Great night sleep and lovely breakfast. The owners was very accommodating. Would recommend"

King Arthur's Arms Inn

10/10 Excellent

"We had a brilliant time, a spacious clean room, and the entire staff were so friendly and kind. We enjoyed the convenience of having dinner there every night. The included breakfast was perfect. Very convenient to everything in town."

The Olde Malthouse

10/10 Excellent

"What a lovely inn. We had a 9 month old baby and we felt incredibly well looked after. I wouldn't hesitate to stay here again if I'm ever in Tintagel. If you're visiting the castle the path leading to it is right outside to the right and is etremely convenient. Thank you so much."

The Mill House Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Really nice place."

Luxury Apartment with Spectacular sea views Close to Boscastle/Tintagel

10/10 Excellent

"Superb views, excellent clean accommodation and a lovely welcoming Cornish cream tea, fresh fruit and a bottle of wine plus Nick and Liz are such lovely hosts. Already booked again for next year"

Luxury House With Magnificent Sea Views

10/10 Excellent

"We had a fantastic stay in Cornwall. The house was perfect for our group of 11, including three children and a baby, with plenty of space for everyone. The bedrooms are incredibly spacious, and the downstairs living areas are excellent, giving us lots of room to relax and spend time together.The location is amazing, with a beautiful beach close by, and the views are brilliant. Being able to see the sea from nearly every window was really special and added so much to the whole experience.Communication with the host was excellent throughout. What really stood out was how homely the house feels. It has so much character and genuinely feels like a home that is loved and lived in, which made it a really comfortable and welcoming place to stay.The only small suggestion would be to add a little more outdoor lighting. Both outside areas are so lovely that we would have enjoyed being able to spend more time out there in the evenings.Overall, a wonderful, spacious and welcoming house in a fantastic location. We had a brilliant stay and would happily recommend it, particularly for larger families or groups."

Sea views just yards from restaurants, pubs & shops. Sleeps 16-18, 8 x en-suite.

"Great stay."

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."
