Michael House - TINTAGEL

We stayed in the Michael House for one night (we actually found it on here on Happy Cow! and we had not only breakfast, but also dinner there. Our room was very nice, it had a nice view, and the food was even better. It was so good to finally be able to eat without questioning if there might be anything in it which we don't want to eat. We had the mixed curries for dinner and the Michael House mess for dessert. We can definitely recommend the Michael House.

Michael House is located in Tintagel with excellent views. It is cosy, clean and very inviting. We had a wonderful vegan dinner and dessert (that we selected from a menu emailed to us before our trip). The next morning we had a Full English Vegan breakfast that our 12 year old thought was the best morning meal we had on our journey. Vanessa was a wonderful hostess and we pre arranged a picnic mezze to take to Tintagel castle with us the next day. Wonderful atmosphere we will definitely return if we are in Tintagel again in the future! Updated from previous review on Wednesday September 16, 2015

Fantastic little oasis for vegans, or anyone who loves beautiful scenery and needs some rest. I could even see the sea from my bedroom window! Vanessa is a brilliant host and makes delicious meals. I traveled alone and felt comfortable as soon as I arrived. I would like to come back.

We stayed at Michael House for 3 nights and received a very warm welcome from Vanessa and Simon and later from their dogs and cats too! Convenient location for visiting Tintagel or walking the SW Coast Path they have maps you can borrow. Room was spacious, clean and comfortable with a large private bathroom and great views over fields towards Trebarwith Strand and the sea. Breakfast was excellent with fresh fruit, cereals, soya yoghurt, home made bread, fruit juice, choice of hot drinks and The Full Michael a cooked vegan breakfast consisting of sausage, beans, mushrooms, tomato, scrambled tofu and rosti. The evening meals were outstanding in taste and presentation and would not look out of a place in a top restaurant. Sometimes we chose what we wanted and sometimes we opted for a surprise. Vanessa was very helpful and couldn 't have been a better host. Update May 2017 another lovely break at Michael House. Dogs now accepted. Food is now all vegan. All three courses delicious. Unlike me, Vanessa has perfected vegan meringues. Lemon cheesecake and chocolate tart were also outstanding. Updated from previous review on 2011 10 21

We've just stayed a night at Michael House, and it's great for vegans. All the choices for evening meail are vegan, and a vegan breakfast just means not asking for an egg we really enjoyed both meals. The owners are very friendly and helpful, and with advance notice can also provide just an evening meal for those not staying with them. They are licensed, and with a choice of vegan wines and beers what more could you want! The house and our room were comfortable and well looked after, with good taste obvious in the decoration, furnishings, and art works. The ethical approach is consistent, with vegan soaps and toiletries also provided. The location is also wonderful, in a small village in North Cornwall. Trebarwith Strand is a pleasant and easy 15 minutes walk away a lovely beach which is quite sizeable at low tide and with stunning cliffs to each side. We recommend it for a stay or for a meal, whether or not you are vegan.
