Woud not stay here again due to the noise from the pump for fridges /aircon beneath our room. etc.
Pros:

The bedroom was lovely except for the bouncy mattress.

Cons:

Shower room - Hook would be good on door for towel/dressing gown. a shower mat for stepping out of the shower. Shower was not strong enough. Shower was very weak and no shower mat, no shelf to put on toiletries.

Tintagel on niin kaunis paikka
Pros:

Hotelli oli keskeisellä paikalla, josta pääsi kävellen nähtävyyksille. Aamupala oli riittävä ja maukas.

Cons:

Sinne ei päässyt juna asemalta julkisella bussilla vaan piti mennä ja tulla taksilla joka maksoi 70puntaa suunta. Lisäksi olimme ajatelleet käydä lähi kaupungeissa/kylissä, mutta julkisella bussilla se oli mahdotonta.

Pros:

So close to the Tintagel Castle and quite a lovely place to stay. Great food and service, enjoyed being here.

Cons:

No airconditioning, and stairs to access upper floors. Windows didn't let enough air through, so it was quite hot in the heatwave.
