Tintagel Castle

So beautiful on a wet a windy day. Good to beat the crowds.

Tintagel Castle is a medieval fortification located in North Cornwall. Visitors like myself flock to see Tintagel Castle as it has a long association with legends related to King Arthur. The long walk down & up the castle cliffs is worth the amazing views. In the height of summer it’s packed with people so be prepared for queues and bring a bottle of water as you break a sweat during the trek up and down Tintagel.

Property was a bit tired and dated, but think the price reflects that. Staff were brilliant and food very good.

This is our third stay at this apartment. Easy access to the beach and super pet friendly. Parking on site for one car per apartment suitable for a large car. Everything you’d need for self catering with a small supermarket quite close by. Check out at 9:30am was quite early.
