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 apartment suits couples, small families or friends, sitting on the edge of the 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 or wander down to the sandy beach, both half a mile away. The coast path links spectacular spots including Glebe Cliff and the wider Cornish coastline, with Bossiney Cove 1.5 miles along and Trebarwith Beach 2 miles further. The harbour village of Boscastle, 4 miles away, has atmospheric streets to wander and the Museum of Witchcraft and Magic.

Step inside the ground-floor apartment to a modern open-plan living space with large windows framing the view towards Camelot Castle. The lounge area has comfortable sofas and a Smart TV, and a dining table sits alongside the contemporary kitchen for shared meals. A utility room off the hallway comes in handy during longer stays. Two thoughtfully designed bedrooms complete the apartment - a king-size room with en-suite bathroom and sea views to wake up to, and a second bedroom with a pair of single beds, both with their own Smart TVs. A bright bathroom with fresh tiling and a shower over the bath completes the space.

While the apartment has no outdoor space, the coastline is right on the doorstep. Private parking for one car makes arrivals and departures easy, with additional guest parking available on request.

Nearby: Bossiney Cove Beach (0.8 miles) and Tregardock Beach (3 miles). See our Tintagel guide for more beaches and walks in the area.
