We had an enjoyable stay...
Liked: The location of the property was excellent. The atmosphere and staff couldn’t be faulted. Nothing was too much trouble. The inn is opposite the entrance to the castle so ideally located for sightseeing and as a base to explore the area.
Disliked: The room was so small it made it quite uncomfortable to move around in. There was a lack of space to put personal belongings (like toiletries). The towels were also tiny and nowhere to hang them up after showering.

Absolutely perfect
Liked: Everything about this B&B was wonderful. I stayed in Room Six—charming, cozy, and tastefully decorated, with complimentary teas and cookies, and a window overlooking the street. The location is perfect—right in the heart of town and just a short walk (about half a mile) from the castle.Breakfast was delicious each morning, with plenty of options. I had the full Cornish on my first day, and it kept me full until evening!What truly made my stay special was the kindness of the woman at the computer. When she found out I hadn’t eaten and everything nearby was closed, she surprised me with the most delicious cake, served with ice cream and sorbet. It was such a thoughtful gesture, and I’ll never forget it. I highly recommend. It’s a warm, welcoming place full of heart and hospitality.

Passable
Liked: The only time the guy in charge could be bothered to speak was when he asked if we had settled our bill on leaving. Very rude and unsociable. Find somewhere better to stay as there are lots of better options in Tintagel.

A very warm welcome tastefully...
Liked: I received a very warm welcome by a young lady who showed me to my room and everything I needed to know to make me feel comfortable. I asked for a later check out time and they were happy for me to leave my car in the car park whilst I had some time in town. The room although small was clean and tastefully decorated and everything I needed including hairdryer and supply of shower gel.
Disliked: The single room was very snug and overlooked the side terrace so was quite noisy with people outside. Not great after a long drive when I wanted peace and quiet and an early night. People were noisy going to bed too. Next time I would book a double room at the back.

Basic and it helps if...
Liked: Authentic old building with character. Serving staff at dinner were good. Breakfast was tasty.
Disliked: The plumbing is loud so you hear that flushing toilet by other guests at 2:15 AM and the one at 2:45 reverberate through the system. The faucet sounds like it has air in the system and belches. The pillows are hard and too thick. On a warm night the duvet is too warm and no top sheet is provided so that you can sleep with just a sheet.The music is terrible in the restaurant. From room 4 you hear the street noise if people walk by talking on the street or drive by fast or loud. You must duck your head to go through ground floor doors and even the door to the bathroom.Seems run on a shoestring with no greeter at breakfast to let you know where they are seating you for your pre-,ordered and timed breakfast. Coffee was terrible, like instant coffee.
