Most enjoyable, superbly upkept and well worth the entrance fee. If you really look around, read the material available in each room and look at the artefacts carefully and check out the garden, it's a great hour and better value than some other entrance fees.

This is a quirky old building in the centre of Tintagel. I have never seen anything like it before. Well worth seeing.

The post office is small and a delightful insight into the past as you can easily imagine living there. The cosy rooms give a good idea of how people lived there. The back garden had beautiful tulips when I was there. Definitely, worthwhile viewing while in Tintagel to visit the castle. Some rooms are upstairs.

The old post office is on the main road in Tintagel and is only a small building but never the less very interesting. Its less than an hour to walk around the house and garden though.

Each room has information regarding it's history and use. The garden in the back is a nice spot for a quiet sit-down.

Usual National Trust standard, plenty of info, very quaint and attractive. Not easy to access if limited mobility.

This is a really interesting place and quite surprising. The butrresses on the house are amazing and the house is laid out as it would have been and gives a real insight into small village life for normal folk. Not enough in my opinion to warrant a visit purely for the house but allied with the other sights in the... More

Very small ex post office with a lovely garden too. Small rooms with the information of each room available to read. Steep steps to the upper rooms. Period furniture and small gift shop. I am a member of National Trust so entry was free. Not sure if I would have paid to visit.

This building was built in various stages over time. Each piece has its own history. The person who worked there was VERY passionate and knowledgeable about the history, and she LOVED to share it. Very quirky and very interesting. A bit pricey unless you have the National Trust pass, though.
