First off, this was one of the best airbnbs I have stayed at. Clean, great location, spacious, comfortable - I cannot say enough good things. Hence I rated it 5 stars. Let me elaborate: 1. If the weather is good, you will see an amazing sunset over Tintagel. If you look closely, you can see Arthur’s sculpture on the hill silhouetted against the evening sky when all the people have left. 2. Really close to the village so getting groceries or walking to the castle is easy. 3. Very easy parking. 4. Well appointed kitchen and bathrooms. Couple of things to note: 1. The internet in the bedrooms is spotty. I had trouble with zoom. If you need a stable connnection, the dining area is the best. 2. No washing machine tablets.They did have dishwashing pods so I thought a couple of washing machine pods would be logical. Not a huge deal, but something to know. 3. The uninterrupted view is interrupted by cars parked in front of the window. The upstairs would be better for a great view.

Highly Recommend! We stayed here with our 3 children aged 6-17. It was perfect! Incredible views, spotlessly clean, modern, private, safe, everything we wanted. Hosts were great, responsive and couldn’t do enough to make us get the best out of our stay. Thank you so much Vay-Cays, we will definitely be returning!
