Surrounded by stunning Cornish countryside, this characterful retreat for up to six guests plus a trio of pets is just 1 mile from Sandymouth Bay. Enjoy scenic coastal walks, breathtaking views and golden beaches from your doorstep, or drive 4.5 miles to explore laid-back Bude.

Stone-fronted and set within a pretty courtyard of similar cottages, this three-bedroom residence has at its heart an open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner that’s sure to be the social hub of your holiday. Step inside and you’ll find a choice of seating, a country-style kitchen and a dining space that’s ideal for leisurely meals. A Smart TV offers home-from-home entertainment, and French doors lead to an enclosed garden where children and pets can play while you unwind on the patio or fire up the BBQ. When it’s time to sleep, three bedrooms each have their own Smart TV; choose from two doubles – one with its own en-suite shower room – and a twin bedroom. A family bathroom completes the convenience for all.

Bude’s shops, cafes, canal and sea pool are just 4.5 miles away, while beaches including Crooklets, Summerleaze and Widemouth Bay are all within 7.5 miles. Closer and quieter, Sandymouth Bay captivates with its vast expanse of pristine sand backed by towering cliffs. For adventure-seekers, the South West Coast Path delivers dramatic cliff-top walks – head to Hartland Quay (13 miles) for rugged cliffs and crashing waves. History lovers can explore the legendary Tintagel Castle, 22.5 miles away, while family-themed thrills and animal encounters await at the Milky Way Adventure Park (13.5 miles). With private parking for two cars, this is the ideal location for making memories with friends or family – and if you’d like to share the fun with even more people, another property sleeping a further 6 guests is available; please ask for details.

Fantastic location however wouldnt book again. The garden wasnt particularly secure for dogs & meant we couldnt completely relax. Not as well equipped as a lot of cottages Ive stayed in. Felt as though this was very much about the income & not the guest.

Really nice location and friendly, helpful owner. Furniture really comfortable, especially the beds. Guaranteed a good nights sleep! Easy to get to Bude or Sandymouth and the walk to Bude via the Sandymouth road and the cliff walk is straightforward. Useful to be able to use the facilities if the Darwin Escapes site 200yds down the road.

We went in June, so it was quiet and peaceful. The cottage has a good layout, three double bedrooms and two toilets/ shower rooms. The living area is fine as well. The location is just up from Summerlease beach and 4 miles to Bude. All exactly as described.
