Kingfisher House

Kingfisher House is a detached two-bedroom cottage in Tintagel village, sleeping four across two bedrooms with two bathrooms. The ground floor holds the open-plan living area, the kitchen and a bathroom with bath and overhead shower, while both bedrooms are upstairs. Up to two well-behaved dogs are welcome. To the right of the cottage, an enclosed area holds a patio table and chairs, and the parking bay is on the same side. The bay involves reversing, so it is not suited to anyone uncomfortable with that manoeuvre. A washing machine and Wi-Fi are included.

Bossiney Cove Beach is 0.9 miles from the cottage - a small inlet below the cliffs, reached via a steep path from the coast road, and best visited at low tide when a sandy cove is exposed. Tintagel Castle headland is under a mile from the village and linked to the mainland by a footbridge installed in 2019. Trebarwith Strand is a couple of miles south along the B3263, a sand and rock beach that covers completely at high tide. Tregardock Beach is 2.7 miles and Port Gaverne is 5.7 miles.

The village has a post office, several pubs, and cafes concentrated along Fore Street. Boscastle harbour is around 4 miles north-east along the coast road, with a National Trust visitor centre at the top of the valley.

Good for families or couples who want access to the castle and coast path, with a shop and pub five minutes' walk away. Guests who need step-free access should check with the owner before booking. Less good for anyone wanting a beach-side location - the nearest beaches all require a walk or short drive.
