Camelot Retreat - Tor View

Very good service and everything extremely tidy. A welcoming place in a quiet part of town.

More a Monastery than a B&B There was no mention in the description that this was a vegetarian only establishment. NO meat, fish or alcohol was allowed (even in the room) and there were restrictive quiet hours. “Breakfast included” actually meant cold cereal, toast (one morning there wasn’t any bread provided) and eggs- all self service and self cleanup. Rooms were clean and comfortable but it certainly didn’t feel like a holiday.

B&B is in a residential area outside the center but close to the Tor. Whilst bedding and towels were freshly laundered, the overall state of the property was outdated, dusty, with cobwebs in the rooms and dirt in corners plus the garden was in a right state. Nothing like the pictures and didn't feel peaceful or a place of rest. Breakfast options very limited, go to Heaphy's or Timos in town instead. Overall the owner seemed very disinterested and apathic. A lot of notes scattered around the property informed you of the strict rules (mainly around food and drink, how to behave and what is expected of you, for example being very, very, very quiet). Can only reiterate what somebody said before, didn't feel like a holiday, felt unwelcome and uncomfortable. Couldn't wait to leave the next day.
