Serviced Apartments in Holsworthy

An excellent hotel, but let down by the breakfast. It used to be outstanding, now it’s like a low-budget hotel version.

I really wanted to like the Camelot, and wasn’t expecting it to be high spec or anything, but was mostly really put off by two things: the bedding was quite scratchy, and the bathroom was a complete shock. Pros: large family room, lovely sea view, staff were friendly and helpful on the few occasions I spoke to them, and when we had an issue with the bathroom they accommodated us by allowing us to use a bath in an empty room. Also lovely walks straight out the door and you can walk along the coastal path straight to Tintagel castle. Cons: definitely tired, a bit more than I expected given the price. Charged £20 per dog per night but no idea what for as nothing was provided not even a dog bowl. The bed was lumpy and the linen was scratchy and I’m not normally sensitive to that sort of thing. And finally the bathroom…we were in a classic family room, I’m not sure what the bathrooms are like in other room types but it was basically a caravan bathroom awkwardly plonked in the room, no chance of safely washing kids in there so I could not believe it was a family room. Thankfully as Expedia had stated it had a bath and shower they allowed us to go and use a bath on another room (the portable style bathroom had a toilet, a sink and a shower). It felt like something you get in a caravan / service station / student digs, NOT in a castle hotel where you’re paying £200+ per night. The hotel should be honest with their guests and describe this appropriately, disappointed.

Sofa bed in the room to be used by our daughter was in very poor condition. It wasn’t made up on arrival and when the staff did come to make it it was obviously broken as she couldn't get it to stay open. On closer inspection the frame was all bent and was very uncomfortable for my young daughter.

The room was lovely, with loads of extra touches. The actual inn is an amazing old historical building. The food was excellent and great choices. Great range of quality food and drink. Every member of staff we encountered was helpful and friendly. We have been to Jamaica Inn for visits before but never stayed. Would definitely stay there again.

Breakfast was nice and there were vegan options though the one person serving seemed stressed as she was so busy. Evening meal was good and had vegan options for all courses. Staff were friendly and helpful. The carpet in my bedroom was the only disappointment as it needs replacing. Otherwise the room was spotless and the bedding fresh & comfortable.
