The room is OK, the price is a bit expensive

King Arthur’s Arms is fabulously located next to a huge car park, yet on Fore Street, which is the Main Street running through Tintagel and about 3 minutes walk to the top of the hill leading down to English Heritage’s Tintagel Castle. On arrival we were checked in at the bar by Jess with a very friendly Cornish welcome. The smell of cleanliness emerged us as we walked up to our huge room with double bed, wardrobe, dressing table, easy chairs and huge bathroom with double walk in shower, sink, toilet and heated radiator. Huge room for Cornwall and immaculate. We chilled out and wandered along and around Tintagel Castle, then back to the pub for dinner. It’s an extensive menu with huge portions. There was no issue with pub noise and we slept well, waking for an extensive breakfast which commences with a choice of pastries and cereals, then Full English, teas, coffees and juices! We were then able to stay parked for a few hours after check out at 10am to wander around Tintagel. Really cannot recommend King Arthur’s Arms enough and particularly so to single parents with kids-safe, friendly and accommodating and shout out to Jess for super friendly service throughout!

We were lucky enough to get the harbour view room, absolutely breathtaking view 😍 room could do with a few touch ups here and there (mainly bathroom) but overall we were very very happy and thought it was good value for money. The staff were very friendly, we ate in the restaurant for our evening meal which was lovely and well priced. Breakfast was included in our room rate and was again lovely.

We enjoyed our stay here for our 25th wedding anniversary. Shame that wasn’t highlighted even though I mentioned it when booking. A ‘congratulations’ or a card or something would have been attentive. The receptionist was on auto pilot and rushed which didn’t feel welcoming. Other than that it was lovely, the room, the view, the food at the Jetty, the waiters.
