Dog Friendly Tintagel Holiday Cottages

What our customers say about their holidays

  The house is a stones throw from the lovely village shops, cafes, pubs, and of course the castle in Tintagel.

  The surrounding countryside is stunning, plenty of footpaths and walks for the dogs, and only a short drive to any number of beautiful beaches. Kingfisher house is well laid out and had everything needed for our stay, including some bonus fudge and biscuits (which went down very well with the teenager). The kitchen is well equipped should you need to cook, and the lounge area/dining area was comfy. The only thing that could have made it even better would be a small side table, as it was a wrench to leave the sofa to get the cup of tea from the dining table. Bedrooms are comfortable and spacious, with linen and towels provided, and although quite close to the road the noise was minimal and at night was almost non existent. The heating took the edge off the Autumn evening chill and there was always plenty of hot water. Unfortunately the bathroom fan did not appear to be working, and as the water was so hot, the bathroom did get very steamed up and was lacking ventilation. We did use the dehumidifier provided, but it didn’t work particularly well. One thing to be aware of is that parking is a more than a little on the tight side, even in a Micra. Luckily no one parked in the space next to me, but I can imagine it may be difficult if there is another car. Reversing in was definitely easier than reversing out. All in all we had a lovely stay, and would be happy book if visiting the area again.

  Parwin is a lovely holiday cottage and is spacious, well maintained and lovely especially for 8 people and 2 dogs!

  It's set in a lovely area only a short 30minute walk from Tintagel and a beach which also have 2 pubs close by. It has lovely scenery and is nice and quiet which is great for a few days away with the family. Its also perfect for driving to other towns close by including Bude, Newquay, Boscastle and Port Isaac. Cannot fault the property really in anyway it was maintained to a high standard and ticked all our boxes for comfort, facilities and space! If there are any criticisms it might be the road that leads towards the beach is a bit of a nightmare being a steep single road with few passing places so be aware it would be better coming from the Tintagel side. Also, another niggle, is the distinct lack of parking for 2 cars for we literally could not park at the allocated space at the garage at the rear and the rest of the area was parked up however we were fortunate there were no other cars at the other property across the road which allowed both cars to park! Overall, despite the niggles, Parwin is accurately described and we would look to book again in the future!!

  Parwin is a wonderful, truly authentic Cornish home.

  It is beautifully and tastefully decorated throughout and has all the amenities you'd expect from a high end holiday cottage. My family (and dogs!) came down to Parwin for a long weekend stay in January 2024. It was the first time we'd stayed in the property in almost 37 years. Our family owned Parwin from 1982 unti 1987, so it was especially nostalgic to stay in a property which felt so familiar and that already held such good memories for us all. The village of Treknow is well located for the amenities of Tintagel (just a five minute drive up the road) and the gorgeous scenery of Trebarwith Strand beach and surrounding cliffs. We'd particularly recommend Sunday lunch at the Mill House Inn. This great pub can be found on the road down from Treknow to Trebarwith. The Port William pub is also a good place to stop off for a pint when you come off the beach, although it is an expensive bar bill! All in all we'd thoroughly recommend a stay in Parwin. A gorgeous, cosy home with everything you'll need for a great time away.

  Just back from a great week staying here.

  House was clean and fresh when we arrived and the milk, biscuits and fudge left for our arrival was a nice touch and very much appreciated! The house had everything we needed for our stay. We lucked out with the weather so was a great base to explore the area. The location is great, really central but very quiet at night. I've seen other comments saying it's next to a hostel, which is true, there is one nearby but had zero issues and a couple of people we tried to help find the entrance were walking the Cornish coast path and were stopping off for the night. The other neighbours we met were friendly. As others have mentioned the parking (which is at the side of the house) is a bit tight but had no issues. Found it easier to reverse in. As with almost all houses / cottages I've stayed in there are were a few small things that could be improved but none of them impacted our stay and I'd go back next week if I could!

  Had a great week in Parwin.

  The cottage is lovely and as described in the details. The kitchen/diner was a great space and very well equipped. We were 4 couples and we could comfortably fit around the large table. Sun trap of a patio which we used for bbqs some evenings. Plenty of hot water for showers. Great location. Handy for different beaches and several lovely coastal towns/villages. We walked the beautiful coastal path to Tintagel. Cross country walk to beach at Trebarwith Strand where we ate at the Port William pub. Also ate at the Mill House Inn down the lane and the Old Malthouse Inn in Tintagel when we easily walked back along the roads - about 20 mins. Parking is very tight there especially as we had 4 cars. We found spaces further up the hill. Only issue we had was the design of the en-suite shower room. The shower doesn’t drain well and so water remains all over the floor. We had a great week and would book again.
