Dolphins Backpackers has a garden, shared lounge, a terrace and bar in Tintagel. The property is around 1.4 km from Merlin's Cave Beach, 2.2 km from Bossiney Cove Beach and 49 km from Newquay Train Station. Free WiFi and a shared kitchen are offered.

Dolphins Backpackers is a relatively cheap stay at Tintagel, therefore I didn't really know what to expect at first when I got there. But from the moment I arrived it exceeded all my expectations! John and Leah are both very friendly and welcoming and will make sure everything is okay for you. The atmosphere at the hostel is just everything, it is very easy to make new friends here. Also the location is at walking distance from everything as it is located in the middle of Tintagel village. And since you are staying at Dolphins, you can get a backpackers discount at a lot of cafe's and restaurants. What I also really loved was how clean everything is. I even dared to touch the shower walls and walk barefoot, which means a lot for a hostel. Even right now in London where I am staying in a hostel which is even out of my budget, the showers feel smudgy, but at Dolphins Backpackers, John and Leah make sure everything is super clean.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    Cottage was very comfortable and was great as a base. Games barn across the way was fantastic- kids loved playing pool and table tennis. Useful to have washing machine and dryer there too after days on the beach. There were bbq facilities and outside eating areas. We were allowed to collect eggs from the chickens each day which my boys loved. Was very safe and quiet. Great location close to boscastle- great beaches like polzeath and treyarnon all within 45 mins drive.
