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.

It was great, the landlord was very welcoming and shared a lot of nearby hiking trails with me. The best landlord I have ever stayed with in a youth hostel? It left me with very good memories of my trip.

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.

    Clean and tidy, great location, amazing cooked breakfast plus help yourself to cereals, toast, yoghurt and fruit. The owner was very friendly and helpful. Free parking is also a bonus. Plenty of pubs around for evening meal. Perfect for a budget stay in Tintagel

    I stayed in Dolphins Backpackers for four nights. I must say the hostel is worth the money you pay. It is a cozy little place with all the amenities. Though it is just next to the shops and cafes of the village but it feels like a nest in itself, quiet and chill. John is very friendly and nice. But I liked Grandad the most. So cool and chill!!

    This was one of the best hostels I ever stayed in. John, Rosie, and everyone else were friendly, happy to help, and answer any questions. The place's vibe was really cool, other backpackers were also fantastic.

    The staff were so incredibly friendly and considerate. It is such a nice hostel with a good family-style vibe. It's in a great location, too; right in the center of the village.

    Really friendly couple who own it. They were very helpful with recommendations. Were made to feel comfortable and at home. Great facilities. Powerful shower. Beds were comfy. It was quiet at night so you could sleep. Perfect location. Other guests were of all ages. I'm in my 30s so I didn't want a group of young loud teenagers so this was perfect. Best hostel I've been in
