Frequently asked questions

How much does a budget hotel in Tintagel cost?
Budget hotel prices in Tintagel vary, but you can find a great deal from £80 on Expedia. To find the cheapest budget hotels, be flexible with your dates—typically, off-peak and mid-week stays are cheaper. Stretch your budget further by looking for hotels with free breakfast, free parking or free airport shuttles. Sort your search results by "Price: low to high" to see our lowest rates.
When is the most affordable time to visit Tintagel?
The most affordable time to visit Tintagel is typically during the shoulder seasons, specifically late autumn (October to November) or early spring (March to April), outside of school holidays. During these periods, you'll generally find lower prices for accommodation and fewer crowds than in the peak summer months.

Solo travellers will appreciate the quieter atmosphere, making it easier to explore the historic sites and dramatic coastline at your own pace without the hustle and bustle. While some smaller, seasonal businesses might have reduced hours, the main attractions, like Tintagel Castle, remain open, often with shorter queues. Plus, the Cornish weather during these months can still offer pleasant, crisp days great for coastal walks.

For couples, these off-peak times provide a more intimate experience. Many guesthouses and B&Bs offer better rates, and you might even find deals on local eateries. The natural beauty of the area, from the rugged cliffs to the charming village, is just as stunning, if not more so, under the softer light of autumn or spring.
Is Tintagel a budget-friendly destination?
While Tintagel is generally considered a more expensive destination, particularly due to its popularity as a tourist hotspot, travellers can absolutely experience its magic on a budget with some smart planning.

For accommodation, look beyond the immediate village centre. Solo travellers might find better value in guesthouses or B&Bs in nearby towns like Camelford or Boscastle, which are just a short bus or car ride away. Booking well in advance, especially outside of peak summer months, can also reduce costs for couples.

Many of Tintagel's most captivating experiences are either free or low-cost. Exploring the South West Coast Path, which offers breathtaking views of the rugged coastline and Tintagel Castle from various viewpoints, is completely free. Couples can enjoy scenic walks to places like St Nectan's Glen, a beautiful waterfall and woodland, with only a small entrance fee. The village itself, with its charming shops and cafes, is lovely for a stroll without spending a penny.

When it comes to dining, consider packing a picnic for lunch to enjoy amidst the stunning scenery. Local pubs often offer good value meals for dinner, providing a taste of Cornish hospitality without breaking the bank.

What free activities should we do in Tintagel?
Tintagel offers a surprising number of free activities for budget-conscious travellers, allowing you to immerse yourselves in its rich history and stunning natural beauty without spending a penny.

For couples and solo travellers, exploring the dramatic coastline is a must. You can walk parts of the South West Coast Path, enjoying breathtaking views of the rugged cliffs and the turquoise sea. A particular highlight is the scenic stroll from Tintagel village down to the cove, where you can marvel at the impressive Tintagel Castle ruins from a distance and explore Merlin's Cave at low tide – a truly atmospheric experience that costs nothing.

Another excellent free option is visiting St. Materiana's Church, perched high on the cliffs between Tintagel and Bossiney. This ancient church offers a peaceful respite and incredible panoramic views over the Atlantic. You can also wander through Tintagel village itself, soaking in its special environment and browsing the quaint shops (resisting the urge to buy, of course.).
Is it cheaper to book flights and a hotel in Tintagel as a package?
Booking a hotel and flight package on Expedia can be cheaper than booking flights and hotels separately. Bundling can lead to significant savings, especially for international travel or when booking well in advance. However, savings vary depending on factors like destination, travel dates, and availability, so it's wise to compare options. With access to over 300,000 hotels worldwide, Expedia makes it easy to build the perfect travel package.
Can I cancel my budget hotel reservation on Expedia?
Many Expedia hotel reservations are refundable, provided that you cancel before the hotel's cancellation deadline. This is often within 24-48 hours of your scheduled arrival. Be sure to check your booking confirmation for the exact cancellation policy. For maximum flexibility, use Expedia's "Fully refundable property" filter during your search to find the right budget hotel in Tintagel for you.
