Comfortable one-bedroom apartment, ideal for couples and small families. This property sits in a unique location, combining the rugged beauty of the coast with ancient legend and mystery.

Just half a mile from the town centre, the property is within easy reach of Tintagel’s collection of independent restaurants, welcoming pubs, and eclectic shops. The South West Coast Path is steps away from the apartment, and provides a gateway to hundreds of scenic walking routes. Head to the mile-long golden beach at Trebarwith Strand (2.6 miles) at low tide, before enjoying locally-caught seafood or traditional fish and chips from one of the local food outlets. Spend the day at the nearby village of Boscastle (4.5 miles), where you can enjoy family attractions including the Museum of Witchcraft and Magic, Boscastle Pottery, and Orchard Lake.

The apartment is on the first-floor of a traditional slate and stone Cornish house. Metal steps lead up to the property, and the rooms offer spectacular views of King Arthur’s Castle Island. The apartment has undergone extensive refurbishment, including high-quality furnishings and fittings. The lounge/dining area boasts sliding doors with access to the balcony where you can take in the breath taking sea and castle views. There is a TV with Freeview and DVD player, making this the ideal spot to unwind after a busy day at the coast. During the winter months, you can grab a hot drink, light the fire, and get cosy reading a book or watching a film. The large double bedroom offers scenic views of the sea and castle and access to the balcony. Take a seat and enjoy the landscape with your morning coffee, or pour a glass of your favourite drink and watch the sunset from this comfortable room.
