The Countryman Hotel

Their hospitality was good

Just come back from a break in this lovely establishment. The couple who run the hotel and warm and welcoming to their guests and try to provide everything you need for a wonderful stay. The breakfast is cooked fresh each morning to an excellent standard which showcases the ingredients to their maximum. There is a private car park at the rear of the property and I managed to park there on most occasions, the one time I didn't i used the council car park 3 minutes walk away which is currently free. We lost the TV and Wi-Fi signal a few times in our room and maybe this could be boosted and the addition of a towel rail or hook in the bathroom would be useful. However, these didn't detract from our stay and would hihghly recommend this hotel for anyone looking to visit North Cornwall.

We worked our butt off to get there by 7:00 for their very early check-in deadline (even cancelled going to something we wanted to see). When we arrived at 6:50 there were no signs indicating where to park so we just took a guess and we were right. We then did not know how to get to the hotel (again no signs) so we asked a guy in the parking lot and he told us. We drug our luggage down several flights of stone steps, and found the front door locked. We rang the doorbell 2x and finally a man opened it. He just looked at us as if he wondered what we wanted. I said “we have a reservation “ at which time he opened the door for us. A lady came out of a room (no greeting) and asked for our credit card for payment. She then told us our room was #11 on the second floor. My husband then lugged 3 large pieces of luggage up 34 steps to our room! No offer of help from the staff. The room was clean but the twin bed was squeaky and had a bow in the middle-it needs replaced. There was no towel rack in the bathroom at all, but a small one in the bedroom (not convenient). You had to be 8 foot tall to see yourself in the bathroom mirror. The shower was smashed into the corner and if you were heavy at all you would not have been able to get into it because the door only opened half way before it hit the sink. There was no trash can in the bathroom. The electric outlets were too far away to use and see a mirror. No hairdryer in the room. We did get a good breakfast in the morning.

Located in a small town but a convenient drive to many gorgeous beaches, coves and walks. The hotel although a little austere from the outside was pleasantly comfortable and cozy inside. Great breakfasts too.

had character, good location

Good value, comfy bed, good cooked breakfast.

We chose this hotel based on its proximity to Tintagel and Port Isaac. In the end, we decided not to go to Tintagel but we would go to Port Isaac. The bus to Port Isaac stops a short 2-3 min walk from the hotel and after trying to get to Port Isaac in the past and encountering fords (water) and very narrow country lanes, the bus was certainly a great option. The hotel is easy to find in Camelford. There is a signpost, but please note that the hotel is on a junction of a main road and a very narrow road- you have to go up the narrow road to get to the car park (2nd right). The hosts recently bought the hotel and are in the process of rennovating it. There is a great fish and chip shop a couple of mins walk from the hotel.

Stayed one night in a single room. Really easy to park on site. Was greeted by a lovely host who was attentive and welcoming. The room was spotlessly clean, quite and comfortable (didn't reflect the photos online as looks so much more modern as though its been recently refurbished). The shared bathroom was a separate toilet and shower rooms, both super clean and just across the hall from my room. The shower was modern and had an amazing rain shower. Breakfast I was greeted with a smile and served a fresh to order hot breakfast with good quality ingredients. The hotel is also in a beautiful area with a good choice of restaurants. I'd definitely stay again if passing through.

Lovely location, friendly and quiet
