Puffin Cottage
Description
Puffin Cottage sits high above the North Cornwall coastline in Tintagel, offering sweeping sea views and immediate access to the coastal path, making it an inspiring base for friends or family drawn to this dramatic stretch of shoreline.
This semi-detached barn conversion blends its original character with thoughtful touches, creating a setting that feels rooted in the landscape while offering everything needed for an effortless Cornish getaway.
The ground floor brings the living spaces together in a way that encourages slow, easy holiday moments.
The kitchen is arranged for simple, practical cooking, ideal for preparing breakfast before heading to the cliffs or returning in the evening to a warm meal.
The adjoining dining and sitting areas create a natural gathering point, with a woodburning stove casting a gentle glow when the sea breeze turns cooler.
A bathroom with a bath and shower sits nearby, along with a king bedroom that offers convenient ground-floor accommodation.
Upstairs, a twin bedroom tucked beneath the beams provides a restful space for guests, capturing glimpses of sea and sky through its windows.
Each room reflects the building’s barn heritage, creating a sense of place that flows throughout the cottage.
Outside, a planned grassed lawn and front patio offer a peaceful spot to take in the coastal air, watch the changing light over the Atlantic, or enjoy a quiet drink before dinner.
Private off-road parking for two cars adds ease, especially for guests exploring the wider region.Just across from the cottage, a path leads towards Bossiney Cove, one of North Cornwall’s most striking hidden beaches, framed by towering cliffs and known for its turquoise waters and natural caves.
Tintagel village, with its independent shops, pubs, and deep-rooted Arthurian links, offers much to discover, including the world-famous Tintagel Castle and Merlin’s Cave.
The South West Coast Path provides endless opportunities for dramatic hikes, wildlife spotting, and panoramic viewpoints.
Nearby Boscastle is easily accessible via the bus stop just opposite the property and offers its picturesque harbour, the Museum of Witchcraft and Magic, and riverside eateries showcasing local produce.
Further inland, Bodmin offers rich history at Bodmin Jail, far-reaching walks across Bodmin Moor, and nostalgic journeys aboard the Bodmin & Wenford Railway.
Puffin Cottage offers a memorable base for anyone eager to experience the rugged beauty and stories of North Cornwall.

What guests are saying
Beautiful little cottage in a perfect location.
Peaceful, close to coastal path and a short walk into the village.
We had a lovely 3 night stay at the cottage.
A very well planned layout which makes the cottage cosy and comfortable. Would of been good to have some cleaning products ie dishwasher tablets and kitchen cleaner. Great location.
We loved our stay at Puffin Cottage.
Furniture and equipment were great quality and the beds comfortable. We enjoyed evening meals sitting outside in the secluded garden with a sea view. Some nights we crossed the road to the field to watch amazing sunsets. Bossiney Cove was beautiful but quite a challenge to get to for our old dog and you have to be sure to go at low tide. Our favourite dog friendly beach was Trebarwith - less than 15 minute drive (again check tide times to avoid disappointment!).
