"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."
