Merlin

For a holiday of sweeping sea views, legendary folklore and wild Cornish cliffs, stay at this stylish coastal apartment in Tintagel. The two-bedroom home is ideal for fresh-air-loving couples, small families or friends, located on the edge of the dramatic National Landscape coastline with uninterrupted views towards Tintagel Castle – long associated with the legend of King Arthur. Gaze down at Merlin's Cave from the clifftop viewpoint (0.5 miles) or wander down to the sandy beach (0.5 miles) framed by rugged cliffs. For walkers, the coast path (0.5 miles) links spectacular spots including Glebe Cliff (0.5 miles) and the wider Cornish coastline. Keen explorers can head further along to Bossiney Cove (1.5 miles) or Trebarwith Beach (2 miles), while the nearby harbour village of Boscastle (4 miles) has atmospheric streets to wander and the fascinating Museum of Witchcraft and Magic (4.5 miles) offering an intriguing glimpse into the area's mythical past. Step inside the ground-floor apartment and you'll find a modern open-plan living space designed for comfort and style, with large windows framing the impressive view towards Camelot Castle. After a day out exploring, relax in the welcoming lounge area, which has comfortable sofas and a Smart TV for unwinding. A dining table sits alongside the contemporary kitchen area, creating a sociable space for shared meals made from fresh Cornish ingredients picked up locally. Along the hallway, a useful utility room will come in handy during longer stays. When it's time to turn in, you'll have two thoughtfully designed bedrooms – a king-size bedroom with en-suite bathroom and wonderful sea views to wake up to, and a second bedroom offering a pair of single beds. Both bedrooms also include their own Smart TVs. A bright bathroom with fresh tiling and a shower over the bath completes the space. While the apartment itself has no outdoor space, the coastline is right on your doorstep, so it's easy to get your hit of Cornish fresh air. Private parking for one car makes departures and arrivals easy, with additional guest parking available on request, if space allows.
