Camelot Castle Hotel

Rooms are named after their position in the building: the North, South and East Tower Junior Suites each sleep two people, in spaces of about 21 to 25 square metres, and the hotel's own website highlights turret windows in the South Tower suite. Beyond the towers, Classic rooms come as singles, doubles, twins and family rooms, with sea-view or moor-view options, and there are also self-catering apartments.

Because the whole hotel was built as a single Victorian structure, all of these room types sit within the same building rather than in separate historic and modern wings. Dogs are only allowed in specified Classic rooms and one self-catering apartment, so check which room type you are booking if travelling with a pet.

Irina's Restaurant and Bar serves food described on the hotel's own website as seasonal, and the Golden Age Bar offers cocktails, wines, spirits and local ales. Explorers Tea Rooms serves afternoon tea, and the hotel also offers pizza. Breakfast can be taken in the Great Hall, where dogs are permitted, and dogs are also allowed in the restaurant during afternoon tea service according to the hotel's own dog policy page.

The hotel sits on cliffs above Tintagel, on the Atlantic coast of north Cornwall, close to Tintagel Castle, the ruined medieval castle associated with the legend of King Arthur. The clifftop setting and the Arthurian connection are part of why the Victorian builders gave the hotel its name and castle-like towers. The South West Coast Path runs along this stretch of coastline, and Tintagel village is within walking distance.
