Camelot Castle Hotel Reviews
" Weird beyond belief! "
Submitted By: Dissapointed from Devon
My husband and I decided on a last minute trip to cornwall for a 2 night stay. Upon arrival the hotel does seem rather impressive and the views are outstanding. After booking in a very enthusiastic man insisted on showing us around the ground floor, the dining room and entrance are delightful rooms although the art (all by the same artist, who we subsequently found out is part owner)was a bit strange and i did remark that my 4 year old neices could do better. Our room however, was shoddy, the bathroom had considerable mould and very cheap toilet paper and toiletries. 2 of the windows were sealed shut and a shocking draght blew through the 3rd which made the room incredibly cold.
A knock came at the door where we were given a welcome letter and a inhouse newspaper. This really freaked me out the newspaper was so full of egotistical self promotion with a small measure of propagander (Psychiatry an industry of death). It was so bizzare it was quite unbelievable. It was also filled with celebrity pictures (as was the hotel itself) many of which are clearly not taken in the hotel and have nothing to do with it.
We decided that afternoon to cut our stay to one night only and were not asked why, which leads me to believe many other people do the same.
We ate in the resturant that night and found it to be bland and uninspiring, nothing short of mediocre pub food.
This hotel is really OVERPRICED and the website does not show a true picture of the place at all, it felt like we were trying to be sucked into a srange cult, it is that strange. The owners seem to be so preoccupied with themselves, money, celebrity connections and the shocking artwork to really care about offering a luxury stay. Its a real shame as the views are amazing and in the right hands would be a truly remakable hotel.
I would not recomend this hotel at all.

" Very poor and overpriced - DON'T BOOK WARNING "
Submitted By: pagambar
The stunning location, luxurious surroundings were amplified by an exterior of a building that could not fail to impress. The Website offers many views of the rooms to book, and as this was last minute, I was overjoyed to be able to reserve a two night stay in one of the £40 per person per night double rooms.
The excitement as we drove through Tintagel and towards the hotel was soon removed when we were given the key to room 208. I'ts all to easy to see this as a budget room and say you have to expect a 'less than advertised' quality. But when they offer this room at double the price of the Premier Inns rooms, our expectations were left deflated.... Read more
The Room door didn't fit, with a 2 inch gap above the door that would alow light to pass into the room from the corridor. This was not a problem as the light was let in by the glass panels above the door!
The room is advertised and charged as an on-suite! this is a Plastic 3ft x 4ft cabin in the corner of the room that contains shower (2ft x 3ft), toilet, which had to be used with the door open, and a sink which overhung the toilet. There was a TV, quite a modern 13 inc LCD with some digital channels. This was high up on that wall, and could only be watched if standing!
THe bed, this was a cheap Argos 4ft bed (http://www.argos.co.uk/static/Product/partNumber/6650502/c_1/1|category_root|Home+and+furniture|14417894/c_2/2|cat_14417894|Beds|14418191/c_3/3|cat_14418191|Bed+frames|15350032.htm) with a cheap £29 mattress. Bolts were lose, bed springs poking through the mattress, and two very flat pillows!.

" Wonderful, relaxing stay (right attitude is required!) "
Submitted By: vb2868
We came back from Tintagel yesterday after spending four nights at Camelot castle - the place that has its very own character. I have just read all reviews left here by other people and have to say they are almost all true - good and bad ones. You certainly have to have the 'right' mind to stay at Camelot. If you can affort The place have wonderful views (will never forget those sunsets!), friendly staff (ALL OF THEM!), delicious food, lovely music, interesting paintings and many more... We stayed in the room which was far from the perfect state and needed a lot of TLC. But I wouldn't be able to tell you if the wallpaper was peeling off or if it had any wallpaper at all... My eyes hardly went past the magical shimmering of the sun on the surface of the sea that could be observed from all fife windows of our 2nd floor room. Bathroom was just a plastic box in the corner with perhaps too loud fan but all in all very functional. There were many other not so positive things that I could mention like old tv (we didn't even have time to switch it on), squeaky wardrobe door, poor lights... But neither of those will stop us from going back to Camelot!
On our check out we asked if we could see their refurbished bedrooms on the 3rd floor. We were handed keys from three rooms including junior suite. These all were done to a highest standard with modern bathrooms, lovely decor, comfortable beds etc. If you stay in one of those rooms you need to be really sad to be disappointed!
And the last but not least: If we had read the reviews below before we went to Camelot, we would have cancelled our booking and looked for something else. And we would have missed on such a wonderful experience, such a treat for a soul, a holiday that shall never be forgotten!..

Activities: We enjoyed our walk to St Nectan's Glen and costal walk from Boscastle to Tintagel.

" Simply Horrendous "
Submitted By: Disappointed of Dubai
Please do not book this hotel it really is such a massive disappointment. The website is grossly misleading. Everything everyone else as said previously about how poor the rooms are is very very true - truly appauling to let anyone see them, let alone stay in them. We stayed 2 minutes and then returned to reception to say we just could not stay there nd yes we were very surprised not to be shown to our rooms. The guy behind the reception desk did not bat an eyelid at the news we were leaving, which speaks volumes. The hotel requires a complete and I do mean complete renovation. I am sure sealed windows do not comply with fire regulations and plastic pods for bathrooms is just silly. The bed sheets were indeed stained! I hate to remember it. Instead we stayed at The Millhouse at Trebarwith Strand, 5 minute drive, lovely pub in the valley with lovely clean and tidy ensuite rooms. Hurray up and sell it to someone who can invest in such a lovely property in a fabulous location and then we can all stay there and enjoy it!!
Advice: Great for pubs, tea shops and tourist shopping.
Activities: Millhouse pub and resturant a Trebarwith Strand and Fort William pub at Trebarwith Strand.

" Highly entertaining "
Submitted By: Liz Williams
We have just returned from the Castle in Tintagel and have had a great time. In a world of increasing blandness, it's good to stay in a place with some character - it's like being in a movie set in the 1930s. The place is under renovation and the rooms are being redone, but the main hall and dining room are lovely, and I have no complaints about the bar. The staff were very pleasant and helpful and for such a stunning location, I think it is quite reasonably priced. We had dinner there and the food was good. It's wonderfully quiet and I think there is a magical quality about the whole place.
I'd recommend a little patience with the renovations as this hotel has a great deal going for it, although it does help if you yourself have an appreciation of eccentric locations.

" camelot castle "
Submitted By: tdr1973
We stayed 3 nights on a off season deal, good value. You are paying for the location, on top of a cliff overlooking the ancient king arthur's castle, and the fact you are staying in a castle.
The staff were friendly, food nice. The room had a 4 poster bed, though not particularly comfortable. It also had the oldest colour TV ever, eith the remote akin to a house brick mobile phone.
I believe the hotel was being renovated, it should be more comfortable when done.
All in all, nice stay.

" Nightmare at camelot castle hotel "
Submitted By: todd.sweeney@btinternet.com
Myself and my partner recently stayed at the camelot castle hotel in tintagel cornwall for my 40th birthday,on first impression the main lobby and resterant looked very nice and we were greeted by a frendly fellow and a free drink,he then proceeded to say because it was my birthday we had been upgraded to a four poster bed room which we were very happy about,we had our free drinks and went up to our room to get organised only to find the most badly maintained and decorated room i have ever seen,yes we had a four poster bed but the rest of the room was disusting to say the least,the carpets looked like they had been laided by a drunk and blind carpet fitter and the curtains were just hanging on a couple of hooks and did not even cover the windows,the funiture and shower room where also very below standard for the ammount of money we paid which was 100 pounds,we didnt kick up much of a fuss as we were there to chill and not be stressed as weve had a hard year,i laughed with my partner, as we were upgraded!!!..I cant imagine what the other room would of been like.Dont stay at this place unless you want to be ripped off,..we felt very let down

" Avoid this hotel!!! "
Submitted By: Roadtrip
I looked forward to treating myself to a one or maybe two night stay at someplace "fancier" than I usually stay and based on the hotel website I thought I found the place. I arrived very tired after traveling many hours and was looking forward to a nice bath and rest - but this was not going to happen at this place. First they booked me for the higher price room when I had asked for the less expensive room. When I informed them of this they did not offer to make any changes, and being tired and it being late I thought maybe they were booked and could not make changes so I agreed to the room they booked me in (only to find later the place was almost empty). When I asked if the room had a bath, I was told it did not, just a shower, but I could use the community bath down the hall (a institutional looking room with just a tub).
The room was absolutely disgusting. The floor was more black than tan, the head board to the bed was cloth and stained with dirt, the furniture and television was old looking like they were picked up in a rubbish pile, and here is the topper - THE BEDSPREAD HAD BLOOD STAINS ON IT - on the underneath that was against my sheets - and the blanket was so old it should have been thrown away. Afraid to catch a disease or worse, bed bugs, I told them I could not stay and left. Oh...they did offer to provide me with a new bedspread when they saw the blood I spoke of...no thank you. Being so tired I was upset, but it turned out better since I found the most wonderful place to stay right in the center of town; The Cottage Tea Shop...now that is where you should stay. Wonderful owners, Vic and Sandy, very clean, very cozy, and wonderful breakfast included (Camelot Castle was going to charge extra for breakfast. The health inspectors should be taking a close look at this place.

" The worst hotel I have ever stayed in "
Submitted By: watermelonI think the title of my review says it all. I have stayed in hotels all over the world and this had to be THE worst!
What a wasted opportunity. The Hotel is in a stunning location with stunning views but the hotel interior is just awful. The Hotel Inspector would have a field day!
The entrance hall is semi-grand with a revolving door, impressive stair case and antique furniture (despite the pictures of various celebrities in Hard Rock Cafe Stylie Photos) but as soon as you go up the stairs the nightmare begins!
Our room was horrendous. We were there for a wedding and it felt like I was getting ready in my Grandma's spare bedroom.
The furniture looked as if it had been found in a skip, the carpet was threadbare and the blue swirls gave me a migraine, the curtains were flimsy, the bathroom was a joke, a plastic pod that you couldn't turn round in and the TV I swear was from the 1950s!!
There was no duvet, just a croched blanket and I woke in the night shivering.
And despite the proximity to the sea, the large sash windows were painted shut so we couldnt even hear the sound of the sea.
The staff were rude and the bar was very expensive!
Over all I couldn't wait to leave, which was a real shame as I was so looking forward to going.
I wouldn't recommend any one to stay there. I can't understand why they don't revamp the rooms - it could be so beautiful.
I feel so angry just thinking about it - I wish now I had asked for my money back!

" Worse bedroom I have ever seen "
Submitted By: Samy
Arrived at the hotel 5pm on Friday the 21st November 2008, left at 5.30pm. On arrival we were given the key to Room 115 (no offer to show us to the bedroom) luckily I had a torch on my car keys, it was needed to find the light switches in the dark corridors. On finding the bedroom I have to say it was the worst room I have ever seen. In my previous employment I virtually lived in Hotels and Guest Houses all over the UK and the continent and this was the worst. There was no lampshade just a singly bulb hanging from the electric cord. The wallpaper was peeling, the furniture mismatched and damaged. The only window was sealed shut with mastic and painted over with the fastner removed. The bathroom if you could call it that a plastic pod was horrible. I went to Reception to say that we did'nt like the room and was given keys to rooms 107 and 109 - these rooms were no better so we left.
We found accommodation at the Wotton House Hotel which was like a Palace in comparison. That evening sitting in a Pub in Tintagel we got talking to another couple who had also booked into the Camelot Castle Hotel and were complaining bitterly about their room, they decided to do the same as us and leave as soon as possible.
The Hotel website gives a false impression and they should certainly not be charging £49.00 per person per night for rooms of such a poor standard. I feel sorry for people who have travelled a long way for such poor accommodation.

" booked one night at the castle for... "
Submitted By: Mrs H Liggins
booked one night at the castle for husband and myself, paid extra ten pounds each for breakfast. received warm welcome on arrival - manner of staff, including cleaners is outstanding. shown around dining room and bar then handed keys to room. noticed weird paintings covering every wall, along with many photos of celebs, upon inspection, clearly not taken at hotel!! room very basic, dreadful condition - peeling wallpaper, awful decor, nothing matching whatsoever. ancient tele on equally ancient rickety wooden stand. windows filthy. four poster bed soooo uncomfortable. ensuite bathroom a joke - just a plastic pod with loo, sink and shower, barely enough room to turn around!
We were in bed and heard a knock at the door, my husband shouted 'hello', another knock, then another, then we heard keys in the door and in walked a young lady! She did look embarrassed that we were there - she handed us a "private letter". It thanked us for our valued stay etc then offered us another night at 40% discount. But I can quite honestly say this was the worst accommodation I have ever stayed in so obviously didn't take up the offer. The breakfast served quickly and of a high standard but definitely not worth the money! It is such a shame as the hotel is in a prime location with stunning, breathtaking views. If only the right person could go in and do a major refurbishment!!!!

" Phew...luckily we didnt book to stay... "
Submitted By: Mr U.N Impressed
Phew...luckily we didnt book to stay the night after reading the shocking reviews of the Hotel..
I have loved reading all the reviews and have provided me with a great night in's entertainment ..lol
We popped in to have a cup of tea/coffee and immediately got a creepy feeling as we entered the 'Hotel' It wasnt long before we got the giggles as we looked at all the celeb pics 'Friends of Camelot'.. more like 'the totally unconnected with Camelot !'
After waiting an age to be served over priced drinks we couldnt help wondering what 'The lightbox ' was as it looked so facinating from the description, i wasnt sure what to read first as it all looked so unbelievable (urr hum ..lol) After we inquired to see if we could look at the lighbox we were told that Mr Stouton was too busy to chat to us and he had just arrived from a trip away (with the fairies?) Mr Stourton appeared with a wide grin to inform us that he would be happy to show us the 'Lightbox'.. what joy !
My wife and 6 month old child were led down through a sinister set of tunnels to a room adorned with Mr Stourtons fantasy... paintings- He went on to sing us a song which was all very nice, but i wasnt sure where to look to be honest, it was all a bit Cheesy but horses for courses i guess..
We were then taken to the Lightbox, expecting something not dissimilar to Disney Pixar effects... but no, it was as described.. a box with lights built to contain his Paintings (basically to make them look better than they are ) After i burbled my way through an uneducated art critique my wife and i were hoodwinked into purchasing a painting .. hurrah ! mind you it was a bargain at £100 ... ;0(
To cut a long story slightly short ... it was an experience we will never forget... a strangly hideous looking Hotel, an alcohol/garlic breathed deranged owner who tries to barinwash people with false newspaper articles of stories of one of his painting selling for 1 million pounds ..
A great laugh, in fact im thinking of booking a night there just for a laugh, perhaps the 1970's TV's show 1970's shows .. i like those !
Hope this doesnt put you off... if you have a good sense of humour you should go because we have dined out on this story for over a year now.
By the way i sold my Investement for £76 on Ebay after listing it 6 times with no interest... so you may want to think twice before 'investing' .. your probably better off investing in the other Camelot as you might just win !
Cheers all !

" This hotel was chosen for a three... "
Submitted By: Mr Mike Faulkner
This hotel was chosen for a three night break because of what it had to say about itself on its website. While the description of the views & surroundings are completely accurate, the hotel is a complete disappointment. An impressive front door leads to a large reception area with a threadbare, taped joint carpet. Dining room & bar are well decorated, but you can wait several minutes for someone to attend the bar, and for all the blurb about international chefs, the food is disappointing. The hotel is adorned with totally out of keeping paintings. The bedroom was awful, threadbare carpet, wobbly fourposter bed, ancient tv that was impossible to see from the bed. The room was clean, but the enclosed balcony had filthy windows, a peeling crumbling ceiling, and a door that you couldn't open from the balcony side. All in all - and this was also the opinion of many other guests - Camelot offers very poor value for money.
