Visited here with my mother at the start of October to celebrate my birthday as I am obsessed with Arthurian Legend and lore and had read great reviews of this place and I must say I was not disappointed! This place is absolutely breath-taking! Filled with superb artwork, models, weapons, paintings, and the most brilliantly vibrant stained-glass windows. I spent around 3 and a half hours exploring and absorbing the place, during which I had one of the most Divine and spiritual experiences of my life, which I was informed by the guy who runs it is a common occurrence among those who visit the hall. On the topic of the guy who runs the place, John was a lovely and welcoming man who regaled us with many stories and legends surrounding the place, and was clearly very passionate about his job, all round a very pleasant and down to earth chap and i hope to meet him again someday. To summarise, a BRILLIANT place to visit, and quite possibly the highlight of my trip to Cornwall. Thank you!

Beautiful attraction. I’ve been Tintagel since I was child and have only just discovered this gem. Definitely a most visit. Go before you visit the castle as it gives you plenty of information on the Arthurian legends that will help enrich your experience.

If you're prepared to read, there's a staggering wealth of stuff here, detailing any player in Arthurian lore you could ever want to know about, and many you probably had no Idea existed. With the exception of the narrated spotlight show in the first room, the second is a bit more haphazard in it's presentation of additional exhibits. But even if you simply take in the dominating stained glass creations in the second, gigantic hall, you're sure to leave with a renewed appreciation for just how far someone with a lot of money can take their fandom. Good gift shop, too. Got a spooky book.

John was an absolutely wonderful expert on the story of Arthur and the history of the building, art and windows. He really made the story come alive and encourage me to know more. He was a font of knowledge for any questions. I really loved seeing all the Christian messages in the windows and the watercolours throughout the side walls.

If you go to Tintagel you must visit King Arthur’s Great Halls and the fellowship of the knights of the round table of King Arthur. You would never guess how big it is from the main house. First a nice light show and the story told by Merlin then you make your way into the great halls which have incredibly beautiful stain glass windows all around and many artefacts and medieval flags and of course the round table. It’s a lot of fun, very good value with a really nice gift shop with lots of great stuff.

Fantastic little place tucked away in the village of Tintagel. A perfect little homage to the Arthurian legends, complete with stained glass windows depicting Arthurian legends, as well as other stained glass windows showing the crests and shields of the different Knights of the Round Table along with their stories. Didn't catch the tour guides name, but he was enthusiastic and helpful, and we were lucky enough to be the only people in the halls at the time.

So glad I found this place and just before they closed. I got welcomed in and got to experience the great halls all to myself. Loved learning more about the legend of King Arthur. Staff was so friendly and enthusiastic. Couldn’t believe how big the great halls were and all the history. It was the perfect ending to the perfect day in Tintagel
