This pretty property nestles in a laidback village setting with the pub a gentle stroll, yet is just a short drive to the spectacular beaches of the North Cornwall Coast including Bude and Widemouth Bay.

Book a stay in this quiet corner of northern Cornwall and savour the balance of country living with access to the picturesque coast. This traditional, semi-detached cottage at Marhamchurch sleeps five guests in three bedrooms and is just 4 miles drive or 2 miles walk from the beautiful beach at Widemouth Bay. Also enjoy being just 3.5 miles by car from Bude, where you can peruse the shops and market stalls and find an array of eateries.

Wander into the holiday home and discover you are in the first of the two lounges. Settle in here after your busy afternoon out or wander on through to the second lounge, where you can watch the Smart TV together, read your book or chat about your plans for the following day. Make your way into the kitchen/diner when mealtimes beckon to whip up tasty holiday fare, dine together at the table and open the doors to the outside space when the weather is clement. Follow the stairs up to the first floor to choose between a double bedroom, a twin with Smart TV or a single room. The family bathroom is also up here. Make the most of the courtyard garden during the spring and summer months. Enjoy meals out here or a glass of wine in the evening. Find parking for one large or two medium-sized cars in front of the cottage.

Head into Bude to take the children to Summerleaze Beach, where they will enjoy splashing in the sea pool as well as surfing in the waves. Keen walkers might like to attempt a stretch of the South West Coast Path: try the 7-mile section from Bude to Morwenstow for magnificent clifftop views. Spend the day at the National Trust’s spectacular Sandymouth Bay Beach, 7.5 miles from the cottage.

We had a lovely holiday at this cottage - their philosophy is it should feel like home and it did. We are a family of 5 and my little boy had his birthday during our stay so everything worked out really well. We visited the local town of Bude and as far down as Landsend so the location was a great base for all our trips out. We had everything we neRead moreeded for our stay. Thank you - its a 5 star from us. Hide

Perfect place, would encourage aRead moreny young family to book! Hide

A wonderful cottage situated in a quaint village with lovely locals. Comfortable, immaculately clean and well equipped, it was the perfect base to explore Cornwall from! On the days where we really couldn't beat the rain, we were thrilled to find a well stocked bookcase. The addition of a TV upstairs was much appreciated by our children too. We hadRead more a wonderful evening at the village pub where ourselves and the dog received a warm welcome from the locals. Highly recommend Fordonia. Hide
