Een aanrader voor het eten
Pros:

Het lekkere ontbijt en avondeten.

Cons:

Het was uitzonderlijk warm en het raamwerk kon niet verhuurd open zodat de kamer zelfs met een ventilator nauwelijks afkoelde.

Pros:

Location, cleanliness of room, staff were helpful. Breakfast was great

En suite facilities were small and the bed was very uncomfortable. Breakfast was only available from 9 till 10 and would have preferred the option of 8 until 10

Man muss es mögen
Cons:

Tintagel geht nach Abfahrt der Tagesbesucher auf König Arthur's Spuren um 17 Uhr schlafen.
Da ist es erfreulich wenn man im Cornishman noch bis 19 Uhr etwas zu essen bekommt, allerdings ohne Restaurantservice:
Essen mit Tischnummer an der Bar bestellen und gleich bezahlen, es wird dann irgendwann an den Tisch gebracht.
Getränke sind selbst zu holen.
Der Zugang zu den Zimmern ist über eine separate Aussentreppe möglich, bei Regenwetter , in England nicht ungewöhnlich, nicht angenehm.
Unser Zimmer im 2.Stock war sauber aber klein.
Fazit: Man muss es mögen- oder gleich woanders hingehen.
