Karrek

Karrek is a semi-detached two-bedroom cottage in the village of Bossiney, less than a mile from Tintagel on Cornwall's north coast. The property has a hot tub, an open fire, and sea views - an unusually well-equipped combination for a cottage of this size, sleeping four.

The double bedroom has an en-suite shower room and a TV. A twin bedroom provides the second sleeping space, and there is an additional shower room plus a cloakroom. The kitchen has a fridge-freezer and a Tassimo coffee machine. A separate dining room sits between the kitchen and the sitting room, where an open fire provides warmth on cooler evenings. Smart TV and wifi are included.

An enclosed patio and decking area at the rear holds outdoor furniture and the private hot tub, with sea views from the garden. Off-road parking fits one car. Bossiney Cove Beach is 500m away - a sandy cove with turquoise water and the distinctive Elephant Rock formation, accessible only at low tide. Tregardock Beach, a remote surf spot backed by dramatic cliffs, is 3.4 miles along the coast.

Tintagel Castle (English Heritage) is within walking distance, with its 2019 footbridge spanning a 58-metre gorge to the headland ruins. St Nectan's Glen and its 60-foot waterfall are a short drive away. The South West Coast Path connects Bossiney to Tintagel and onward to Boscastle.

Best for two couples travelling together, with two en-suite-adjacent bedrooms, a private hot tub and Tintagel Castle within walking distance. Less good for groups arriving in more than one car - off-road parking fits just one.

Nearby: Bossiney Cove Beach (500m) and Tregardock Beach (3.4 miles). See our Tintagel guide for more beaches and walks in the area.
