About this property
Tintagel 1 mile.
Perfect for two. A cosy, unique cottage in a fabulous setting with open plan sitting room and diner with a mezzanine bedroom. With its exposed stonework, wooden beams and wood burning stove, this is the perfect hideaway for summer and winter. Cosy up next to the fire in the cooler months and relax in the unique bedroom which is under the vaulted roof accessed via a staircase with handrails. Both the perfect touring base for discovering the delights of north Cornwall or for snuggling down with a good book after a long country walk or a stroll through the owner's stunning 20 acres of garden and woodland. Note: This property can be booked with Refs. 980, 981 and 983, together they sleep 12.
The ruins of King Arthur's Castle stand high on the cliffs just outside the historic Cornish town of Tintagel. It is a place of myth, legend and romantic associations, set against a backdrop of craggy rocks, hidden coves and swirling seas. Tintagel is a welcoming place for all visitors, with several attractive pubs, restaurants and specialist shops. The South West Coast Path is at its most impressive here, and can be walked in either direction. The pretty village of Boscastle can be found a couple of miles northwards along the path. The sea in these parts is a surfer's delight, and several beaches are in easy reach of Tintagel. Just 15 miles away is the popular resort of Bude, and other places which are well worth a visit are Bodmin Moor (with its spooky Jamaica Inn) and the world-famous Eden Project.

The split door let a bit of heat out, but what can you expect? The grounds were stunning and Robin both kind and chatty. We really cannot rate this bungalow enough, and look forward to coming back.

However we did find the cottage decor dated. TV very small. Stair access to bedroom narrow and steep. Access around bed was very difficult as you can't stand up due to very low ceiling height. Had to get changed downstairs. The duvet on bed felt damp. Kitchen and Bathroom were ok. There was a damp smell.

It is a lovely little cottage in a beautiful location, plenty of walks from the cottage and easily accessible by car or bus to local villages and towns. The property itself had most things we needed for a week away, minus washing facilities. The host was welcoming and provided all the help we needed. The property was a bit damp, which for someone with asthma was a bit difficult, but there was a log burner and heater which definitely helped to manage this. Headroom in the bedroom was limited, as advertised, but you get used to is quickly! It's a lovely place to stay and we really enjoyed our time there.
