Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
The Cornishman Inn enjoys a superb location right in the centre of Tintagel, near main attractions such as Tintagel Church and only a few minutes walk from the Castle, with parking available. Guests appreciate the freshly cooked and plentiful breakfast, including full English options, as well as the tasty food served in the pub; some particularly enjoyed the beef and Stilton burger. Rooms are generally clean and reasonably spacious, though some have found certain rooms to be quite small. Many found the included radiator especially welcome.

Acceptable Stay , Some Issues Present

good breakfast excellent location handy parking wi-fi code poor mattress cold room
The breakfast had a good choice of items , and it tasted nice. The location is excellent because it sits right in the village. Parking was available at the premises.
The staff member at check in was busy , so I was not given the Wi-Fi code. The bed creaked and the mattress was poor. The room was cold because the corridor windows would not shut properly.

The staff surprised my husband with birthday decorations in our room. I liked the comfortable bed in the beautiful king room, it was lovely. Free parking was available. The hotel location is convenient for exploring.

Acceptable Stay at this Hotel

amazing breakfast great location working radiator small room disruptive air conditioning clear sounds
The breakfast was amazing! I loved that there were options like Egg Benedict. The location is great, especially because it is near shops. The rooms also had a working radiator, a very welcome surprise!
The room was small. Our room was directly over the air conditioning. This air conditioning kept us awake most of the night. I also hear other people in the other rooms quite clearly during the night.

excellent stay!

central location helpful staff clean room
the location was central. i found the friendly staff very helpful. breakfast had great choices and the room was clean! i was even allowed to keep my car in the car park a few hours after checkout, a real bonus.
The music in the outside bar was quite loud early in the evening. i found it difficult to relax initially. Hopefully, it will be adjusted to be quieter sooner.

Solid Stay in Central Location

central location onsite parking breakfast menu
I appreciated the central village location. It was very easy for visiting local sites. The car parking on site proved convenient. The breakfast menus offered good food, a solid start to each day.
The room lacked information about the hotel, such as the wi-fi password. There were also no chairs, that was a real minus.
