Camelot Castle Hotel

Camelot Castle Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"Stayed in a small double room as it was the only room available at the time of booking. Clean and had all you need just the bed was small for two adults. Wonderful place with fantastic views overlooking the ocean and Tintagel Castle. We had afternoon tea and it was amazing seating by the window overlooking the Castle. I recommend this hotel for a unique experience just book in advance as it’s popular place to stay. There are nice pubs and cafes in the village itself with really good food if you don’t prebook dinner and breakfast. Don’t miss out when in Tintagel"

8/10 Good
"Had a great stay the hotel is full of character and history. Yes the rooms are dated, that’s what I would expect from such a lovely old hotel. Staff are amazing well trained, polite and attentive. Spa facilities are very good. Hotel is clean, and food of a high quantity Only down site, the lift was out of order all week. Management needs to prioritise this situation with some urgency. Without the lift working there are up to four floors of steps to climb (93 I think) I would advise you to check if the lift is working before you book."
