Merlins Cottage - Tintagel

Escape to the coast of Cornwall with a group of family or friends and stay at this commanding, sea-view home in Tintagel, where cosy living spaces and plenty of coastal charm await. A 0.5-mile walk from the heart of the village lies Tintagel Castle, steeped in the mythology of King Arthur, where visitors can cross the breathtaking footbridge which connects the mainland to the headland. Below the castle, Merlin’s Cave is said to have been the wizard's dwelling. The village itself boasts shops, pubs and cafes. For beach lovers, Trebarwith Strand (1.5 miles) and Bossiney Cove (2 miles) offer sandy shores and excellent waves for surfers. A 4-mile journey along the coastal path leads to Boscastle, a picturesque fishing village home to the unique Museum of Witchcraft and Magic. Further afield, the historic village of Port Isaac (9 miles) awaits, famed for its appearances in TV dramas and films such as Doc Martin and Fisherman’s Friends.
Step into this charming coastal retreat, designed for comfort and relaxation. Upon arrival, the entrance porch provides the perfect spot to store coats and kick off muddy walking boots. The heart of the home is the spacious, farmhouse-style kitchen/diner, a dream for hosting large groups. With its weathered flagstone flooring and a cosy open fire, the kitchen exudes character while offering everything you need to cook up a Cornish feast for your loved ones. From the kitchen, head into the interconnected sitting rooms, separated by a curtain for flexible living. One room invites you to relax by the wood burner, while the other offers a Smart TV to catch up on your favourite shows. The conservatory is a real highlight, overlooking the enclosed garden and offering stunning sea views – the ideal spot to sip your morning coffee while watching the children playing outside. For competitive evenings together, a well-appointed games room includes a table tennis table. The ground floor features a king-size bedroom with zip-and-link beds that can be converted into twins on request, alongside an en-suite shower room – an ideal setup for guests with mobility needs. Upstairs, you’ll find three generously sized, light and airy bedrooms. The master bedroom boasts a double bed with an en-suite bathroom, while another double room and a sumptuous twin bedroom share the family shower room. The twin bedroom can be converted into a super-king on request to suit your needs.
Outside, the extensive lawn is perfect for games, while the patio’s outdoor furniture and BBQ set the scene for al fresco dining with breathtaking ocean vistas. A charming picket fence at the front and dog-proof hedges combine to ensure your canine friends can roam freely. Ample private parking for up to four cars is also available.
