Merlin’s Retreat is a welcoming bungalow near the fascinating town of Tintagel. This lovingly finished property has been thoughtfully decorated with your comfort in mind and handcrafted touches throughout. Make yourselves at home in the spacious living room and enjoy the beachy vibe created by the pale wooden floorboards and sunlight streaming through the large picture window. Head to the beautifully fitted kitchen to create home-cooked meals and serve them at the bespoke table in the conservatory dining room or in the enclosed garden. At the end of the day, get a well-deserved rest in the two cosy ground-floor bedrooms.
Fuel those hiking muscles with a hearty breakfast, then head out to explore the delights of this stunning area and maybe discover some magic along the way!
Merlin’s Retreat is a short walk from the centre of Tintagel, a pretty village full of myths and legends but also pubs, shops and traditional grocers. Explore the English Heritage site of Tintagel Castle, said to be the home of King Arthur, and Merlin’s cave where the great wizard himself once (allegedly) lived. Follow the South West Coastal Path to explore the area’s rugged cliffs and coves, and be sure to stop at sandy Benoath and Bossiney Coves (2 km). Walk inland to explore the spectacular St Nectan’s Waterfall (3km) or take a day trip to explore the pretty coastal town Port Issac (15 km), visit sophisticated Rock (20 km), or foodie favourite Padstow (20 km).
