Tintagel is a place of legends, and what better way to explore myth and mystery than with a 5 star retreat in boutique cottages on an authentic part of the North Atlantic coast.  Ancient churches and castles help visitors to discover the history and tales of times past, losing themselves in folklore and fantasy. The Cornish translation of Tintagel means ‘Village on the Mountain’, giving an idea of how simply spectacular this luxury self catering location truly is. One of the most-visited places in Britain and famous for the legend of King Arthur, for a 5 star holiday in magical Tintagel, look no further.

The views in Tintagel are without a doubt incredible, but the food is a close second! A hearty meal is needed for anyone who has taken to the Glebe Cliff walk or visited Merlin’s Cave, and The Cornishman Inn caters for those with an appetite.  Any luxury holiday needs a quality meal in order to have the energy to enjoy and explore properly, and The Cornishman does this exquisitely.

For something a little lighter, Charlie’s café and deli are the choice for either sitting back to share a pizza with your family or a quiet cappuccino whilst the children enjoy the play area. Choose from a selection of fresh cakes, meats, Cornish fish and cheeses for an indulgent hamper to take back to one of the Tintagel luxury cottages.

Room for a little more? Granny Wobbly’s fudge is a favourite of the young and old, and is definitely worth a stop to purchase a gift for those at home.

The scenery and ambience within Tintagel is best enjoyed at a slower pace, so sit back at The King’s Arms Inn with a drink and watch the world go by. A dog friendly pub, you can use it as a base for some North-Atlantic adventures or simply set up camp for the afternoon to enjoy some quality time with your nearest and dearest.

Taking advantage of the nearby breweries, The Mill House hosts the boutique ales of Tintagel and Sharp’s breweries, as well as a unique wine list. The former 18^th Century corn mill is featured in The Good Pub Guide and Alastair Sawday’s Special Places Pubs and Inns, this is one establishment that should be on the list of anyone who enjoys a glass of something cool, collected and ultimately Cornish.

Tintagel Brewery, (formerly a converted milking parlour) also produces some fantastic, award winning ales. With this much quality produce being made locally, there’s no excuse not to enjoy the authentic Cornish produce and smooth cask ales.

As the reputed birthplace of King Arthur, Tintagel Castle is steeped in the folklore and romance that gives it an air of mystery, and is a prominent monument on the Cornish landscape. Let little ones race up the steps to the entrance before embarking on a journey of knights, wizards, and the spirit of what makes Tintagel castle so dear to the hearts of so many.

With King Arthur’s slate coast walk, Merlin’s cave and the Norman architecture of St Materiana’s Church, there’s certainly something in the Cornish air that takes visitors back to another age before returning to one of our luxurious homes or apartments in Tintagel.

Tintagel is not just about wizardry and folklore, just a couple of miles away is Trebarwith Strand Beach, which is one of the best places in the county to watch the tide crash in over the rocks. This awesome spectacle is Mother Nature at her finest; a beautiful, memorable highlight of your Tintagel self catering luxury escape.
