The Olde Malthouse

The Inn impresses with a delicious, varied breakfast, complimentary parking, and a central location near Tintagel Castle. Guests love the friendly staff, immaculate, cozy rooms, and charming historic setting.

Been to this restaurant each year we come down to Tintagel camping. Disappointing menu this year unfortunately just nog as good as last year. They’ve tried to fancy things up a bit but it’s just didn’t work for me. ! Hope they put more basic menu back on for next year as this year it’s just over priced and not good value for money in my opinion. Get some steaks on the menu guys, maybe a pasta dish and some lamb !

My fiancé and I, family and friends stayed here this May as we got married in Saint Materiana’s church on the top of the cliff at Tintagel. A beautiful church by the way and well worth a visit. As we pretty much took up the whole hotel we got a good deal on the rooms and Kat and Jamie bent over backwards to accommodate us. It would be out of our price range at any other time but being a wedding and right next to the church it was fantastic. On the 2 nights we were there both managers were in attendance at varying times and I honestly don’t know what I would have done without Jamie. He made sure we had everything we needed, which was everything I had forgotten throughout our stay such as the flowers, tin openers, an ironing board etc. Every time we got flustered and ran down to the bar for help, he was on it without a second thought all the way up until my partner got into the wedding car. Calming me down each time I looked like I was going to pass out, looked after the flowers for us as we had to pick them up the day before and just all those little things that normally get missed were attended to. These guys really know how to look after you and their service is impeccable. I would not hesitate to stay there again if I could afford a weekend. As I said it is very pricey but you get what you pay for and they did not disappoint. The breakfast there was very tasty, a decent size and very well presented. We ran out of tea and just as we were going to ask for more, Jamie was there with another pot! Kat was in and out like there was a fire underneath her and nothing was too much bother. Even with lots of “can I have that without that and this with this” etc etc. she was on it and both of them looked like they really enjoy their work. As some other reviews state, yes the rooms are small (bar the garden suite) but at the end of the day the place was built in the 1300s when we were a lot smaller and probably didn’t have king sized beds! For the room they have had to work with it is spot on and I would rather deal with a smaller room than have this place get knocked down and turned into flats (which I believe was going to happen before the current owner stepped in, watch Four in a Bed on Channel 4 catch up) The cleanliness was second to none, and we were very impressed with the array of drinks available in the rooms. The beds were comfy and the showers were powerful but make sure you don’t turn the heat up too much. There’s a car park with one space for each room which is a god send in Tintagel. There’s some lovely Scotch behind the bar and they keep their beer very well. The waiting and bar staff are polite, friendly and helpful. You will more than likely need to book as even though the food is on the pricier side, there’s a reason for that. It’s lovely and cooked by a damn good chef, so again, you really do get what you pay for and their dining spots seem to be very much in demand. As another review pointed out it is a very small bar are
