What our Guests Say ...
Spent 28May-30May 2010 at the Avalon with 3 other American friends. Peter and Julie were terrific hosts. Room was beautiful and comfortable. Breakfasts were the very best we had while in England. Especially good was the special porridge with the heavenly Cornish cream! Thank You so much!
Mrs Virginia Brant , Colorado - USA
Jonathan and I stayed at the Avalon last May (2010) for a week. It was our honeymoon and we couldn't have chosen a more idyllic place. Peter and Julie made us so welcome. The Avalon is beautifully decorated and furnished, the breakfasts are amazing...the most difficult thing about this holiday was having to select which breakfast you wanted to try each morning :-) and it is situated right on the coast overlooking Tintagel Castle. Wow what a view from the window (we were upgraded to a sea view room)! We will definitely be visiting again, very soon hopefully. Thanks guys :-)
Mr & Mrs Jonathan and Belinda Colvin, Worcestershire
Really, really nice guest house, the rooms are immaculate, the food is delicious and the service with a smile comes as standard. The Avalon lives up to its 5 star rating and more. A joy to stay at such a welcoming guest house, thank you. May 2009.
Alan and Theresa, Haslingden,Lancs.
Thank you for providing such wonderful accomodation. You truly deserve all your awards. Premier accomodation in a prime location. August 2011
Mr Malcolm Dale, Stockport
Loved my stay at the Avalon last year. Was made to feel so welcome and Julie and Peter were just grand. Can't wait to come back again - for a holiday. Tintagel is just wonderful and staying at the Avalon just let me chill out, restore my sanity and wow... feel at home... Thanks guys. See you soon hopefully.
Ms Yvonne Hortin, Alfred Cove / Perth/ Western Australia
Thank you both so much for making us both feel so welcome. The room was 1st class and the food was Lovely. The Avalon is a credit to you both ! Thank you both so much and we hope to see you again very soon. March 2010
Mr stuart hitcham, northants
We have had a superb time at the Avalon. Julie and Peter are the most excellent hosts, making us feel at home and catering to our every need. Peter’s breakfast is excellent. The Avalon has been recently remodeled and is extremely comfortable. The view of Tintagel Castle from the upstairs bedrooms (6 and 7) is simply awesome. Our only regret is that we didn’t stay long enough. May 2009.
Mr Janet and Albert, Massachusetts
These days it’s difficult to find diamonds but here is a true gem. Hospitable without being over bearing both Pete and Julie were the perfect hosts. With real drive and pride they deliver a truly stunning Bed and Breakfast establishment. Don’t bother with the rest, for here you have the best........ April 2009.
Mr Andy Stuart, Plymouth
Nochmals vielen Dank für den tollen Service und die schöne Zeit bei Euch. Schön, dass es solch wundervolle Plätze gibt! Ein so liebevolles und stilvolles Haus haben wir nicht erwartet. Wir freuen uns schon, Euch bald wieder besuchen zu kommen. Ein Besuch lohnt sich schon allein wegen des aussergewöhnlich gutem Frühstücks!
Mr & Mrs Hagen, Hannover, Germany
Thank you for making us so welcome at the weekend. The accommodation at the Avalon is superb. It's like a home from home, if only our home was as nice as yours !! You are fabulous hosts - I've never felt so comfortable right from the moment we arrived. I really hope we'll get the chance to visit you again soon. Oh, and I mustn't leave without a mention for the best porridge ever - it certainly sets you up for a bracing cliff walk! May 2010
Mr & Mrs Teresa & Gary Webb, Swindon, Wilts
More like a top quality hotel but with a very personalised service - truly wonderful. March 2009.
Miss Ciara O'Keeffe, London
Just a short e-mail to thank you for making our recent holiday so enjoyable. Your service was excellent and we doubt if we will ever experience such high standards again, you certainly deserve your five star rating. We couldn't fault anything from the service to the cleanliness or the superb breakfasts.
David & Ellen, Scotland
Tintagel is no doubt a magical place on its own. The breathtaking rugged coastline plays a major role as well as the suggestions related to its historical and mythological past. A perfect escape from every day rush life. Yet you need the right haven to enjoy such a lovely place and be sure the right place in Tintagel is the Avalon. We stayed two nights in an enchanting sea-view room and spent some pleasurable time sitting in front of the wide bow window with a view to the Tintagel Peninsula straight head and the St Materiana Norman church on the left. The (spic-and-span like the rest of the place, by the way) room was delightful with an original ceramic-tiled Mackintosh fireplace that was just a pleasure to watch. Relaxing beige, brown and light blue colours matching pillows, drapes and... tea mugs! A wide selection of in-room coffee, chocolate and teas. Then flat-screen TV, DVD and CD-ROM player (with a selection of discs available in the room, just in case you forgot to bring yours !). Probably the most comfortable King bed we ever slept in . What else? Oh, yes, the wonderful spa fragrances (we loved the rosemary and bergamot one) available in the compact but most functional en suite. The last wonder at the Avalon: the morning breakfast but we are not going to tell you more, you have to try it for yourself. Thanks Julie and Peter, you are friendly, kind, attentive and wonderful hosts who made ours a holiday to remember. We are sure King Arthur would choose your Avalon to sleep end on. Stefano and Laura May 2011
Mr Stefano Lupparelli, Plymouth
We have been coming since Peter & Julie opened, it is a most welcoming place with most welcoming people. The food is excelent the rooms are spotlessly clean and in a most ideal location 100% on all aspects thank you for another weekend of peace and quiet. Pete & Esther. July 2011
Mr Peter Henderson, Essex
Hello again, from Germany. We want to say thank you again for the Service and great time spent in AVALON. The breakfast was the best, we had during our UK Tour. May be, you will see us again in The Avalon. Beste wishes Siggi und Uschi - May 2011
Mr Siegfried Trettin, Germany - Bad Salzuflen

Mrs michaela, reading berks
Don't normally submit comments, but the Avalon was so fantastic I think it deserves some. The place has a superb location with great views, really clean and beautifully furnished. It's got period features with modern fittings, very tasteful. It's very warm and friendly, and smelt lovely too! The attention to detail and the little extra's in the room were a lovely touch. The breakfasts were delicious. Julie recommended parking at Rock then getting the ferry over to Padstow which was a brilliant day out. (3 nights Oct 2009)
DAVID & MARGARET, HELMSHORE
Wow.. what a beautiful place to stay with amazing views and surroundings. A big thank you to Julie and Pete for a great stay with such great personal touches. Rooms are so tastefully decorated with everything you could want. Breakfast is in a class of its own. When we had finished the first morning we were planning what we were going to have the next. So fresh and tasty. We will stay again and hopefully it will be soon. March 2011
Miss Andrea Lennon, Northants
We enjoyed an excellent stay here at The Avalon and were received to a friendly atmosphere. There was a large choice for breakfast and all was cooked and presented to an excellent standard. When staying in the area again The Avalon will be our first choice. Many Thanks. August 2009
Mr Dominic Pilling and Rebekah Uzzell, Evesham
Hallo guys, we forgot to leave a message on your book but we would like to say that, Cornwall is gorgeous and your B&B fantastic. A view to remember, we left a piece of our hearts over there! I advice everyone who wants to hear the silence to pay you a visit. Also we got back to Naples with a tan!! That's outstanding! What I liked the most was to see calves playing like puppies, horses to caress and birds, the scent of the ocean and the green of the smooth hills. XXX we'll come back! Daniela e Maurizio
Mrs Daniela Cicatiello, Napoli, Italia May 2009
We stayed at The Avalon for two days. It is in a lovely setting and the house and its hosts were perfect. Great value!! May 2009.
Mr John & Fiona Styles, Bristol
Great Guesthouse with very warm welcome and atmospere, lovely room and beautiful view. We have enjoyed our stay very much. June 2011
Mrs Rita & Roland, Switzerland
Peter and Julie are 'perfect' hosts.They make every single one of their guests feel 'special'. The house is immaculately kept, homely and welcoming, tastefully decorated and the atmosphere is so relaxing.Breakfast is the best I have ever had, a varied menu, all beautifully cooked....the porridge is 'out of this world. Peter and Julie have an amazing ability to 'connect' with their guests....they are a wonderful couple and we will definately visit again, and again and again. You will not stay in a better B &B , ANYWHERE!! August 2010
Mr Darryl Turl, Maidstone
Literally just walked throught the door and felt compelled to post this. Its our second time staying here and can say without a doubt this is 5 star hotel treatment in a B&B. Peter and Julie are the best hosts one could hope for. Kind and accomodating, a guest wants for nothing staying here. The house is SPOTLESS, the rooms are a decent size and the en-suite bathrooms are a good size and spotlessly clean. The breakfast is absolutley top notch.......I swear I would go back for Petes "Avalon" porridge alone. You will be just a stones throw from the village centre, a short walk from the castle....and Tintagel itself is well located so you're really only a short drive from most of Cornwall's many attractions. I was gutted when I left, you really are treated like one of the family and look forward to going again in Easter. So if your planning a stay in Tintagel, get yourself to the Avalon........ You really can't afford not to. August 2011
Mr Matt and Amanda Horsman, Chelmsford Essex
We had a really lovely few days in your "home from home", from the warm welcome to our reluctant goodbye. Your natural, friendly manner made this our best ever experience by far of any guest house breaks we have had. Your attention to detail and courteous, good-natured service we found a delight, which we shall always remember. Thank you! Sept 2010
Dave & Gill - Ashton, Cornwall
Rooms and food of an excellent standard. Highly recommended for anyone with a food allergy. The attention to detail regarding this is impressive. August 2009
Mrs Harrison, Bristol
"simply the BEST, better than all the rest......." have been back from Tintagel and The Avalon for a few days and already planning the next trip. Many many thanks to Julie and Pete for such attention to our needs. It was faultless in every way. PS Dave has put on 3lbs and me 1lb!!! woops..... it's those fab breakfasts x x March 2010
Mrs Bernadette & Dave Moores, Bristol
“With my line of work, I travel a lot and spend a lot of time in hotels all over Europe and with out any doubt the Avalon is one of the friendliest, nicest, cleanest and the most comfortable places I have ever had the privilege to stay. I have, and will do again recommend the Avalon to friends and family a like, and hopefully I will have the opportunity to stay there again. Thanks again for making our weekend that even more enjoyable. PS; The food was delicious Overall 5 star experience”. March 2009.
David & Lou, Rugby
I absolutely loved staying at your B & B as did my husband and in-laws. It was a beautifully decorated B & B with wonderful breakfast and very helpful and courteous owners. I would recommend the Avalon to anyone wanting a very pleasant and appealing stay! May 2010
Mrs Tracy Russell, Brisbane Australia
Stayed for just a night about a year ago (we were camping at a silly time of year near by and needed to dry out!) We saw several b&b's from the outside and the Avalon just spoke to us when we saw it! It really did not disappointWe were welcomed and allowed to book in early to dry out and treated like one of the family. They were happy to suggest the best places to eat and you could tell that it for from experience as to where they would go. Had a really restful night and a beautiful breakfast. After thinking about going abroad this year we have decided to have a few days at the Avalon instead. Just wish we had booked earlier so we could have had a full week! I have just been reading their new breakfast menu and my stomach is rumbling! Roll on August!
Miss Doyle, Redditch
Absolutely superb B & B, the breakfast was worth being up for! Porridge - Best ever, altho everything else was fab. Peter & Julie were so welcoming and friendly, couldn't have asked for a better place to stay. The room was spotless and the views were spectacular. I can't say enough, but I truly recommend a stay! Thank you - we will be back! July 2009
Mrs Rebecca Turner, Thorpe, Surrey

August 2011
Mr & Mrs Sandra@ Mike Turner, Sutton Coldfield,West Mids
Excellent Guest House, lovely atmosphere. Peter & Julie met all our needs and more, the food was delicious and good quality. To wake up in the morning to those views was spectacular. The room was outstanding with everthing you could need and the attention to detail made it a wonderful stay, we will be back and would gladly recommend it to friends. May 2009.
Lyn & Allan Croombs, Southampton
Julie & Peter, you made our stay truly wonderful. Your sense of humour, your helpfulness, and let's not forget your amazing cooking, made your home our home too. I only wish that you served dinner so I could have tasted more of it. Your son was helpful and your dog was great. Oh I need to mention how great my room was too, the view and the very comfy bed. Thank you again for a comfortable and stress free Cornish holiday. June 2010
Mrs Gini Sturgess, Toronto, Ontario Canada
Just returned from another stay at The Avalon, once again Peter and Julie made us feel very welcome and relaxed as soon as we arrived. The breakfasts were superb and kept us going all day as we walked around the cliffs. No doubt we will be back again soon! Trish & Rick Aug 2009
Miss Doyle, Redditch
It was a fantastic time in your lovely house! We all felt very well and warm received and surely stay an other time when we´ll be in Cornwall again. Thank you very much. With best Greetings!!! May 2010
Mr & Mrs Hagen, Hannover, Germany
After a unsuccessful experience with a tent and gale force winds we booked into Avalon for 2 nights. We were greeted by Julie and Peter who were very friendly and welcoming. The rooms were fantastic, very clean and comfortable. We couldnt get over how quiet it was at night and as for the breakfast it was outstanding. We would recommend this guest house to anyone looking for comfort, friendly faces and the little touches to make you smile. We shall be visiting again and forgetting the tent next time! May 2011
Miss Stephanie Weedon, Portland, Dorset
Everything was magic here! Thank you so much Peter & Julie for the great athmosphere you were able to create with your accuracy in details, your stunning view, buonissima colazione and your excellent porridge, the relaxing music (enjoyed Norah Jones so much the day of our leaving), your friendly manner...and lots of hot water in the shower. :-)) Tutto buonissimo e bellissimo! We'll surely come back again during our tour of the national Path on foot.xxx July 2010
Mr & Mrs Gigi, Fausta, Ale & Franci, Italy
It was our second stay at the Avalon, it was so great last time that this time we came back with 2 really great friends. Once again Julie and Peters incredible B & B, hospitality, Dog and of course the breakfasts left us not wanting to leave once again. The Avalon really is the jewel in Cornwall, and we absolutely love it!! In fact we are looking at when we can book again. Julie and Peter are incredible hosts and you couldn't feel more at home. We are looking forward to seeing you again soon. Love from London. XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX May 2010
Mrs Nicole Levy, London
Beautiful rooms in a perfect location! Julie and Peter were wonderful hosts and provided us with the most amazing breakfasts- their "almost famous porridge" will turn even the most avid bacon lover into a vegetarian :) We honestly can't think of a negative thing about our holiday here. Thanks so much for everything! April 2009.
Ms Tanya Hall, Australia
The stay in your house was just great. We had no wish that was already fulfilled. Thanks for some beautiful days. We come back. And now my German comment: Dieses Guest House wird von Menschen geführt, die ihre Aufgabe lieben und somit nie müde werden alles erdenklich Mögliche für ihre Gäste zu tun. Bis in jedes kleinste Detaill ist das sowohl in der Ausstattung der Zimmer, in der Freundlichkeit der Besitzer und auch in dem wahrhaft köstlichen Frühstück zu spüren. Ich und meine Tochter haben uns vom 1. Moment an absolut wohl gefühlt und wären gerne noch etwas länger geblieben. Thanks from Edith and Lara. Oct 2010
Mrs Edith Sauer, Cologne, Germany
We enjoyed our stay with you so much. You have a wonderful B&B. You were gracious hosts and so helpful to us. Our room was immaculate,comfortable, and inviting. The view was spectacular. Breakfasts were the best we had in England and Wales. Thank you for helping to make our holiday special. May 2009.
Mrs Helen Allen, Texas
Our stay at The Avalon was superb. Julie & Peter are fabulous hosts and always make us feel welcome. The breakfasts are to die for and the rooms are impeccable. Thanks to Julie & Peter. We will return again and again.
Mr A. Bunting, Glos
I looked at a few Guest Houses around the area and I booked the Avalon because it's beautifully presented and highly recomended by previous visitors. This Guest House is second to none, Julie and Peter are so very lovely and have worked so hard to make it a special place to stay and believe me it was truly wonderful. A big thank you to you both!
Mrs Joanne Driver, Thorpe, Surrey June 2009
Great location, accommodation and hosts, not to forget the best breakfast we've had in a long time at any hotel or guest house. Unfortunately we only stayed one night. Will not think of staying anywhere else when we go back to Tintagel. Drew & Pam. June 2009.
Mr Drew McCullough, Lichfield
