Choose from 8 places to stay in Tintagel
Tintagel sits high on Cornwall’s wild north coast, with the village spread along the clifftops and the ruins of Tintagel Castle clinging to the headland opposite. Staying in a family holiday cottage in Tintagel means you are close to dramatic scenery, Arthurian legends and English Heritage’s castle site, with its footbridge, cliffs and Merlin’s Cave below. It suits families who enjoy mixing myth and history with big coastal walks rather than classic resort-style beaches.
Days often revolve around a visit to the castle, where children can cross the bridge, scramble around ruins and explore the paths down towards the cave and rocky shore. On other days you can walk sections of the coast path, drive to nearby beaches such as Trebarwith Strand or explore neighbouring villages and coves. A holiday home in Tintagel gives you a warm base to retreat to after windswept adventures, with room for boots, waterproofs and storybooks about knights and kings.
