Where do I start !! The room - no mirror in the bathroom so difficult for my husband to shave ! This little nit picking faded into insignificance compared to what happened later. We had x2 cups of coffee while getting ready to go out for dinner at 1930. When leaving we could not find anyone to request more coffee and milk. At 2100 after our meal at the local pub we phoned the number for the hotel to request some coffee and milk to be left for us. Thinking we weren't too late to make that call. My husband rang and was told in no uncertain terms that this would not happen as the lady owner of the hotel said ” im in bed. This is not a 24 hour service”. No apology, no suggestion of help. Back at the hotel the next morning we went down for breakfast..... longing for a coffee ! We could see that they were busy and only the male owner running around. Eventually around half an hour we gave our order. I specifically wanted a poached egg with my full english and was told that they weren't very good at poached eggs. ”It may not look good but will taste nice”. However, when the breakfast arrived it appeared I had a fried egg and subtly said ”sorry is this fried?”. He apologised and said it was his fault and hadn't told whoever was cooking. He went off to do a poached egg. Meanwhile my breakfast was getting cold so I slowly ate some. 10 minutes later the cook/lady owner brought the egg out herself to me and it still looked like a fried egg. I said this to my husband and she overheard. She immediately confronted me, asking if I knew what a poached egg was. From then on she 'lectured' me on the difference between fried and poached eggs. This attitude of hers was unforgivable and I asked if she could leave me alone so I could have my breakfast. I turned away and she came to the table accusing me wanting to know why I claimed it was not poached. This sounds petty I know, but we were eating and others were in the room. Things then escalated as when we went to pack to leave we decided we had to say something about our trea**ent from the phone call requesting coffee the evening before to being confrontational over a poached egg ! We handed the keys to the male owner and my husband said he would like to mention a couple of issues. He was very accommodating and listened but within 2 minutes the lady owner appeared from the lounge. My husband had referred to her as ”your wife” to the male as not knowing her name and didn't feel this was an offensive term. However she appeared incensed that she had been referred to as ”wife” and said ”I'm a person not a wife:. It went even further downhill from there as she would not let my husband speak and continually butted in. She became verbally aggressive when I said ”just let my husband speak” she then turned her aggression to me and became very loud. The male owner tried to calm the situation but she carried on and started attacking me verbally. I stood my ground and she shoved me and then told me to get out. I opened the do

Great location. Ample on site car parking. A heated outdoor pool. OK in need of some maintenance but just so welcome. Open early to late. Very helpful staff. Bedrooms are comfortable with all the usual features. Breakfast is very good with plenty of choice. Only two downsides. Firstly the lack of a residents lounge - yes you can use the bar area but that is less than cosy. Secondly although the hotel offers dinner on Weekdays the limited menu is set for the month and frankly the choice is poor. With a bit of thought the hotel could become a destination for meals for locals and guests. The pubs offering good food well cooked were rammed so at this time of the year there is plenty of demand. Special shout out for the reception staff. Friendly and helpful with great knowledge of what the area offered the visitor.

The lodges/houses for rent are absolutely massive (bigger than our house!). So much space. We had 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. Sauna and jacuzzi bath in main bedroom. Spotlessly clean. Comfortable beds, pillows, linen, plenty of towels. Lovely enclosed garden. Outdoor area when the weather permits. Very friendly and helpful staff. Wonderful swimming pool, sauna, steam room, jacuzzi. Great location for walks, beaches, camel trail, etc. etc. etc. Although we had an issue with our hob and oven, they were very quick to try and fix it and offer an alternative appliance.

King Arthur's Arms Inn is located in Tintagel. Tonight my Girlfriend and I went here to have a meal for my 50th Birthday. The surroundings are amazing, with olde stone walls, etched glass windows, shield embossed seating, a roaring log burner and a Knight standing guard over the proceedings! The food tasted lovely, the presentation was excellent and the portion sizes were very generous. You are not leaving here feeling hungry! The lady that served us was super helpful and friendly. The log burner was topped up a couple of times while we ate, so it was always throwing out heat and looking great! There is a great selection of food, many drinks on tap and plenty of seating. There is even an area outside to sit and eat / drink if you are brave enough at this time of year in the cold weather. We walked to the King Arthur's Arms Inn, but there is plenty of parking outside. Highly Recommended!
