John Mappin is a well-known publisher and patron of the arts. Educated at Winchester College, John was a successful stockbroker before turning to publishing and a career in the media. His purchase and investment into Camelot Castle may have come and somewhat of a surprise to many people, but what started as a snap decision has turned into a lifelong quest to make the world a better place.

Camelot Caste sits high above the cliffs in Tintagel on the Cornish coastline. The hotel is a luxury retreat and visitors and travellers from all over the world come to marvel at the splendours of Cornwall and to soak up the atmosphere of the legend of Camelot and King Arthur. Cornwall is an important tourist destination in the UK and offers travellers the chance to see and do so much. Camelot Castle under the management of John Mappin is a huge success and his attention to every detail of his guest’s enjoyment is a tribute to his exacting standards and goals.

The hotel has not been handed over to a management team and John supervises the entire operation, bringing his skills and experience to the business model and making sure that all guests of Camelot are given personal attention and service. Camelot Castle is a popular wedding venue and conference centre and John ensures that all visitors to this part of the world are extended every courtesy to ensure that their experience at Camelot Castle is positive. One only needs to have a peek and the guest book to see how much people love staying at Camelot and how the experience has improved and enhanced their lives.
