Top Merlins Cave Hotel Reviews

Tintagel Arms Bed and Breakfast

10/10 Excellent

"Stayed in a fabulous large loft conversion. The Tintagel Arms is in the town, so good access to the shops. Parking at the Arms was helpful too relieving the earlier stress of dealing with a no signal 'app only' in the town car park so another plus. Friendly hostess. Breakfast was great with a good range of classic full or light breakfasts according to taste. Good, easy to use shower. Clean linen. If we weren't moving on to St Ives we would have stayed longer. Recommended."

Luxury House With Magnificent Sea Views

10/10 Excellent

"We had a fantastic stay in Cornwall. The house was perfect for our group of 11, including three children and a baby, with plenty of space for everyone. The bedrooms are incredibly spacious, and the downstairs living areas are excellent, giving us lots of room to relax and spend time together.The location is amazing, with a beautiful beach close by, and the views are brilliant. Being able to see the sea from nearly every window was really special and added so much to the whole experience.Communication with the host was excellent throughout. What really stood out was how homely the house feels. It has so much character and genuinely feels like a home that is loved and lived in, which made it a really comfortable and welcoming place to stay.The only small suggestion would be to add a little more outdoor lighting. Both outside areas are so lovely that we would have enjoyed being able to spend more time out there in the evenings.Overall, a wonderful, spacious and welcoming house in a fantastic location. We had a brilliant stay and would happily recommend it, particularly for larger families or groups."
