St Morwenna

St Morwenna is a four-bedroom Victorian villa for eight guests near Tintagel on the north Cornwall coast. Two king-size rooms, a double and a twin share two bathrooms, giving a family or group of friends a workable mix of beds, though eight guests sharing two bathrooms is worth planning around.

Coastal views reach in from almost every window. The house has both a wood burner and an open fire, plus a patio and raised sun terrace for outdoor dining in the garden. WiFi, parking, a dishwasher and washing machine are included. Private parking is for six cars, and French doors from the lounge open onto the patio. Dogs aren't accepted here, and there's no step-free access.

Bossiney Cove is 0.6 miles away, Tregardock Beach 3.8 miles and Crackington Haven Beach 6.3 miles along the coast. Tintagel village and its English Heritage castle ruins - reached by the footbridge over the gorge - are close by, along with St Nectan's Glen's waterfall walk a short drive from the village.

**Best for:** Families or groups of friends wanting four bedrooms, sea views, two fires and outdoor space close to Bossiney Cove.

**Less good for:** Dog owners, guests wanting more than two bathrooms, or anyone needing step-free access.
