The area around Tintagel is dominated by the sea, rugged coastline, secluded coves and incredible scenery. The town is famous as the home of the legendary King Arthur's castle, and the castle ruins still overlook the cliff side outside the town. Several beaches, the closest being Trebarwith Strand, are within reach and great surfing is also on offer locally. The South West Coast Path travels through the town and navigates along the cliff tops in both directions through magnificent countryside, then winds down to the sea's edge. 2.5 miles along the path is the village of Boscastle with its charming old fashioned quay and good village pubs. Tintagel itself offers several pubs and restaurants and the Old Post Office, a National Trust property that is well worth a visit. The popular surfing centre of Bude is 15 miles distant, and Bodmin Moor, Padstow and the fascinating Eden Project are all an easy drive away.

A short walk into Tintagel & the footpath to the famous Castle. We were lucky to have a lovely sunny week and the beautiful sunsets were amazing - hence the name of the cottage. Would definitely recommend to others.

The owners left instructions and info for emergencies etc and helpful leaflets about attractions in Cornwall. Car parking is available on site and Tintagel is just a 15 min walk away. We also thought it was a lovely touch that the owners had left some milk, teabags and biscuits. Best cuppa ever after the drive down

The coastal footpath is 5 mins walk away. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay. The only problem I had was finding it as the postcode is not specific enough and one cannot see the cottage from the road. It is however at the same location as the Round House Bossiney. Look for a 5 bar gate next to the little bus shelter in Bossiney.
