The avalon guest house is a gem. We booked the Island and sea-view double room and the superior twin room. Both rooms had an excellent view and decoration is modern. The guest house is also within walking distance (4-5 min) to Tintagel castle and old post office. The breakfast selection is also excellent. Julie was very helpful. There is an outside area in which you can sit and enjoy the view on sun shining days. If you go to Tintagel this is the place to stay and it is not too expensive.

Put simply - a great location, great rooms, great food and great hospitality.

I would highly recommend the Avalon to anyone looking to stay in the Tintagel area. My partner and I stayed for two days last weekend whilst we were attending a wedding in nearby Camelford. Both of us are very well travelled so have a good base to judge these things.

We stayed in a standard double room facing the village and countryside. Whilst the bedroom and ensuite bathroom were not massive, they were more than adequate for our needs and were well furnished and comfy. In fact I had the best two nights sleep I have had for a while! The toiletries provided were an added bonus too!

The breakfast menu is extensive considering there are only 7 rooms. In line with the other reviews, I'd have to say that the porridge is fab and comes with cream too (naughty but nice!) The other options are all delicious too!

One thing that makes the Avalon shine above others is the warm welcome from Peter and Julie who do everything to make you welcome during your stay!

The Avalon is not the cheapest place to stay in Tintagel but in my opinion it is well worth that little bit extra.

We spent the bank holiday weekend in this quaint and special guest house. Julie and Peter greeted us with warm smiles as we pulled up the drive. Their welcome was warm but not over the top. Our room overlooked the ruins of King Arthur's castle and we had a glimpse of the ocean beyond. The room was tastefully decorated and while the ensuite was compact it was stylish and immaculately clean. It was no problem that we only wanted to stay two nights over the bank holiday. This was a big plus for us because some other places requested a three night minimum over this period. The Avalon doesn't do dinner but the breakfasts are worth getting out of bed for. There is a lovely balance of fresh fruit and cereals to keep you busy while waiting for one of the outstanding options on the menu. We both started with porridge made with cream and served with a delightful sugar crust - just like a creme brulee! It was so good we had the same on our second morning. This was follwed by poached eggs cooked to perfection while my partner had a bagel with salmon and cream cheese. The guest house is situated in the heart of Tintagel and there is a regular bus service to nearby Boscastle. From here you can follow a breathtaking coastal walk back to town. This guest house is pleasant and the owners are obviously committed to ensuring you have a restful and stess free stay. They're always on hand to help whether it's giving you a hand with your luggage or suggesting activities during your stay. A little gem in North Cornwall.

Just returned from a three-night stay at the Avalon, and, like all the other reviewers, we absolutely loved it. The rooms are beautifully decorated, spotlessly clean, and stocked with everything you need from tea & biscuits to a hairdryer to a flat screen TV. Julie and Peter couldn't be more accommodating. We were traveling with our 18-month-old son, and they were so kind and thoughtful in their treatment of him and of us. They had a cot waiting in our room and a high chair set up for him at breakfast. And speaking of breakfast, it's delicious. Don't pass up the porridge.
