Live it up at this coastal property with its own outdoor heated swimming pool. Round your friends up or plan a family reunion at this large cottage sat on the dramatic north coast of Cornwall, close to Boscastle and Tintagel. With its table football and pool, there are heaps of activities to get into with your fellow guests.

You and nine other guests will love this Cornish property, designed and decorated to optimise that sunny holiday feeling. An inverted-level layout ensures that everybody gets a grand view of the rolling hills to enjoy from the social areas. Enjoy meals after cooking up a whirlwind in the well-equipped kitchen and watch the sun go down from the balcony.

Located in the village of Crackington Haven which is right on the coast with its own beach and cliff walks along the South West Coast Path, you are also close to important historical visitor attractions like Boscastle and Tintagel (both less than 10 miles away). A little further afield for trekkers are the wilds of Bodmin Moor, which is home to the highest point in Cornwall, at the peak of Brown Willy, and it is possible to climb the neighbouring Rough Tor on the same day. If you love surfing, head to Bude and Widemouth Bay.

Third time staying at this property and still love it! The kids see it as a Second home - making them even sadder when we have to leave :) The pool was a lovely temperature this year after this nice weather, and the facilities across the property are above expectation. The location is wonderful, with the forest walk down to the beach; and the viewsRead more are unbeatable! Hide

Great week at Samphire House, couldnt have asked for a better place to enjoy a week in Cornwall. House has all the kitchen appliances/equipment needed, nothing is missing. Swimming pool was used 2/3 times a day by everyone.

Excellent home to stay with family of all ages. The kitchen has everything you need and the games room and pool great to have. The outside fridge is a very nice touch. Some lovely scenery and it's a great place to sit and relax or use as a base to explore nearby places.
