Staff were amazing and couldn’t have been more helpful or friendly. The rooms are fairly basic, but the views are why you stay here. Food in the restaurant was great. Easy parking and walking distance to Tintagel and the castle/cave.

The house is a mess. A plastic toilet is literally fastened to the wall in our bedroom. The food mediocre. The only thing that is wonderful is the location and position of this ugly house. It needs many millions of pounds spending on it to make it a place to consider going to. A Premier Inn nearby I would consider luxury beside this place. Many place nearby less expensive and a lot better

Our family had a delightful two-night stay at the Camelot Castle Hotel. From the moment we arrived, we were captivated by the unique, castle-style architecture that made us feel like royalty. The property is steeped in historic charm, and the warm, family-run atmosphere made us feel right at home. The highlight of our stay was undoubtedly the dinners—every meal was delicious, thoughtfully prepared, and bursting with flavor. The staff's attention to detail and genuine hospitality made our experience truly special. We enjoyed wandering through the grand halls and taking in the breathtaking views from the property. We'll definitely return on our next visit!

Convenient access to Coastal path and Tintagel Castle and village. Irena’s bar very friendly and relaxing. Dining options are very limited and poor for gluten-free diets. Light breakfast could have more options, e.g. cheese, ham, and a better range of yoghurts! We stayed in Classic double room which was very hot, winter weight duvet didn’t help. Ensuite facilities reminded us of caravan bathrooms and Not particularly safe. Staff need to be more cheerful and informative

What a disappointment. On check in we were met by a child bombing around reception on a motorised hover board with his mother screaming at him to stop and receiving a mouthful in response. Not a great first impression. We discovered this was the owners wife and son. We were told we had been given a room upgrade which sounded lovely until we saw it. Awful mismatched furniature and threadbare carpets with a window that didn’t open. The room next door was being refurbished with the smell of paint permeating our room and loud power tools making it very unpleasant. The coffee which was preported to be “the best coffee In Cornwall “ was expensive and very underwhelming. The breakfast at £15.50 each was again very below average. I would say the bare minimum of extremely poor quality food. Hash brown tasted as if it had been cooked days in advance snd heated. Tined mushrooms with water on the plate. Most of the breakfast was inedible and left. The continental breakfast again being the bare minimum no cheese or meat just an open bowl of muesli, cornflakes and a loaf of white bread for self toasting. The building and decor downstairs was lovely and in keeping with the theme of Camelot. However, somewhat ruined by the beautifully carved “round table “ having a what looked like a gold toilet seat … yet more art, we assumed plonked right in the middle of it ruining the ambiance entirely. To sum up they are providing the bare minimum at the most inflated prices.

Beautiful break in Cornwall
This was an amazing place to stay and we had 3 excellent days. We were there in the "off-season" so were given the option of a room with a small view but a comfortable bathroom versus a room with fantastic views and a small bathroom - we chose the views. The owners are in the process of upgrading the small bathrooms. Coffee was advertised as the best in Cornwall, it was very good. Restaurant meals were very tasty, good quality. Staff were friendly and professional. Ambience was great. Beautiful paintings everywhere and we had the privilege of meeting the resident artist, Ted Staunton, who was very welcoming and positive. Cleanliness and housekeeping could not be faulted. We hope to stay there again.

Nice location.
Hotel and surrounding absolutely amazing, Christmas decorations superb, bedroom view equally amazing, staff friendly and helpful. Bad point's-: The wifi in the room was absolutely shocking, if want peace and quiet its perfect, but if any work related stuff needs doing forget it. I know it was my choice but i paid £440 for 3 night's, surely breakfast could have been thrown in, but no £15:50 each,by the time you get the bill its an £50 per day! Then there was a carol service for the locals, we wasn't told, the whole down stairs blocked, had to use the workmen stairs, if we needed the lift hard luck!

Beautiful!
The place is gorgeous! I did find it funny that upon arrival the gentleman at the front desk asked us if we were friends of the owners because he, the owner, upgraded our room. I had booked our room online with Hotels.com and had requested and PAID for the “four poster bed with the sea view”. So I was a little confused by the front desk guy’s question. Then, at dinner, one of the hotel owners, Ted (the artist whose paintings are EVERYWHERE!!) said to us, “Which room did I put you in?” My sweet husband who never wants to offend anyone told him, “The one with the BEAUTIFUL view of the ocean!” I wanted to say, “The room that I paid for!” All in all it was a lovely hotel with decent food. Our (relatively) expensive room was so worth the view!
The view from our window: “Tintagel Castle”

This was quite a unique experience. Staff are friendly and attentive. The hotel is clean, but still undergoing some renovation. Don’t be fooled by the exterior and slightly dated corridors, however, don’t expect a ‘usual’ hotel experience. This is a stay in a family home, so expect the unexpected! Young’un was whizzing round on his hover board, and one of the owners (an artist) walks round at dinner introducing himself and offering a tour of his studio! The family dined with us as well - the menu is small but interesting - we had Borscht and Waldorf salad and pasta main (a bit disappointed with this, it was pretty plain), however, the Russian honey cake was delicious. Not a high end hotel, but quite the experience!!!!

The location was nice but the hotel room itself ruined the experience. The bed was hard, the room didn’t have a microwave or fridge, now heating or air conditioning, the towels and robes felt like you were wearing a pumice rock. Don’t let the allure of their online pictures coax you into staying here. Go down to the cornishman inn for a way better experience!

Camelot not.
The hotel was in a very nice location, however the service charges of £12.50 on the bill doesn't go towards the serving staff. It was for the linen and bread rolls you received when eating in the hotel. The choice of meals at dinner was very poor and the food was cold and had to be returned. At breakfast again the food wasnt hot and I was very dissatisfied, having had the problem at dinner the previous night.
