About this property

Just 2.1 miles from Tintagel and positioned impressively at the head of the valley that sweeps down to Trebarwith Strand, this beautifully renovated coastal retreat offers an exceptional base for exploring one of Cornwall’s most dramatic and sought after locations. With the stunning cove at Trebarwith Strand only a short walk away, guests can enjoy long stretches of golden sand at low tide, fascinating rock pools and breathtaking views along the famed South West Coast Path. The property has been refurbished to an excellent standard, creating a light, airy and inviting interior that blends modern comfort with charming traditional features, including large picture windows framing the sea views and striking feature fireplaces.

The relaxing sitting room provides the perfect place to unwind, with a generous sofa and a comforting woodburning stove, while also offering a calm spot to plan each day’s coastal adventures. Just behind, the dining area creates a welcoming space for shared meals, and the contemporary kitchen is fully equipped with sleek units and quality appliances to support a carefree week by the sea. Stylish bedrooms enhance the sense of comfort, including a master room with a zip/link super king bed that can be arranged as twins, a king size room with en suite shower, and a single bedroom with a trundle bed, ideal for families.

A modern family bathroom completes the interior, featuring elegant tiling, a bath and an overhead shower. Outside, the front garden provides a superb vantage point for soaking in the sweeping countryside and sea views, best enjoyed during alfresco dining or with a glass of wine at sunset. With Trebarwith Strand’s sandy beach and surf-friendly waves just moments away, this is a prime location for bodyboarding, rockpooling and exploring coastal cliffs. Tintagel itself, steeped in legend and history, offers excellent places to eat and drink, as well as iconic attractions such as Tintagel Castle, Merlin’s Cave, Glebe Cliff and the National Trust’s Tintagel Old Post Office.

The property’s fantastic position also makes it easy to reach Boscastle, Polzeath, Padstow and other highlights along the North Cornwall coast. Combining outstanding scenery, a premium location near Tintagel and Trebarwith Strand, and beautifully updated interiors, this exceptional coastal home promises a memorable and rejuvenating escape at any time of year.

Tintagel is a well-liked but not overrun tourist site and the location of the fabled King Arthur's Castle, whose ruins dominate the cliffside just beyond the settlement. The water, rocky coves, and breathtaking views dominate the area around. Surfing is the main draw for people who enjoy the water, and there are several beaches nearby, including Trebarwith Strand and Bossiney Cove. The Old Post Office (National Trust) and other establishments like taverns and restaurants can be found in Tintagel. The South West Coast Path goes through the settlement and weaves its way through magnificent terrain in both directions, winding along the cliffs and down to the water's edge. If you continue north along the path, the picturesque village of Boscastle with its charming waterfront and local bars for refreshment is not far away. While the vast landscapes of Bodmin Moor, the Eden Project, Padstow, Camel Estuary, and Port Isaac are all within a short but picturesque drive, the surfing hotspots of Newquay and Bude, with their resort attractions, are further away.Tintagel is a well-liked but not overrun tourist site and the location of the fabled King Arthur's Castle, whose ruins dominate the cliffside just beyond the settlement.

Nearby there are some superb attractions to visit. Rousham Hall is very close by and although there are restrictions to visiting etc, it is a beautiful stately home. Oxford,'The city of the Dreaming Spires' and colleges is just 15 mins by car. There are literally hours of things to do there! For the determined shopper, Bicester Village which is a vast outlet centre.

Woodstock has a good range of local pubs, along with restaurants, shops and stores while the famous Blenheim Palace, home to the Duke of Malborough is well worth a day trip.

    We absolutely love this property and it’s location. The house has everything you could possibly want and the beds are super comfortable. Beautiful decoration and a high level of cleanliness add to the overall fabulous experience. Set at the top of the valley it is a short walk to the beach but gives you peace and quiet. Tintagel is just a short car drive or you can walk through the beautiful greenery or across the cliffs. Also Miranda and Ben who own the property are lovely people and are swift to sort out any minor problems you may have. We shall be returning as it has become a haven of calm for us over the years and we cannot recommend it highly enough.

  • Natalie

    Couldn’t fault it. Superbly decorated, comfortable beds, modern bathrooms and well equipped kitchen (with my personal favourite - a separate grill and oven!). We have stayed at Trebarwith Strand many times, and although this house was a tiny bit further away from the beach than our usuals, it didn’t matter as the house was so perfect. Would definitely book again!

  • Susanne

    Wonderful location and great house with everything you need for a relaxing holiday. The owners were very helpful when we had a question and helped us resolve the problem, thank you!
