Holiday cottages in Tintagel

Explore the sandy beaches and hidden coves along the Cornish coast

Whilst Tintagel itself is best known for its rugged cliffs, you don't have to venture far to discover beautiful beaches and crystal-clear waters, perfect for swimming, surfing and sunbathing. Head to the ever-popular Trebarwith Strand Beach, with its sandy shores and good swells or explore the incredible natural beauty of Bossiney Bay, with its breathtaking views of the Atlantic Ocean and picturesque coastal walks along the South West Coast Path. Just a short drive from Tintagel, you can reach some of the best beaches in Cornwall, including Polzeath Beach, Daymer Bay and Harlyn Bay, and our lodge holiday park in Tintagel sits a short way north-east of the town. If you're visiting with your partner, treat yourselves to an extra special stay at one of our luxury lodges in Cornwall.

Discover the myth and legend of King Arthur's Castle

A visit to Tintagel would be incomplete without exploring the incredible Tintagel Castle, one of the most iconic and visited landmarks in the region. For those who are interested in Cornwall's rich history and folklore, this really is a must visit. The site is divided into Tintagel Island, where the castle ruins are located, and the mainland courtyard, across the iconic Tintagel Bridge. Immerse yourself in Arthurian legend as you explore the clifftop castle ruins, then head down to the tidal beach to marvel at the majestic Merlin's Cave. The castle is a key point along the South West Coast Path, offering spectacular views of the surrounding area. For a Cornish escape full of history and wonder, there really is no better place.
