Property code: 85867

Full of character this four bedroom farmhouse on a stunning clifftop is perfect for families or friends looking for an idyllic getaway in a beautiful part of unspoilt Cornwall.

This idyllic cliff-top farmhouse, full of character and charm, is the perfect holiday hideaway for families or friends. Set on a National Trust working farm, and close to the glorious South West Coast Path, it sleeps six guests across three bedrooms and welcomes two furry friends. A short stroll down the farm track brings you to the coast path where wonderful walks can be shared with your canine companions. The sandy cove at Crackington Haven (2 miles) and golden beaches at Widecombe Bay (8 miles) and Bude (10 miles) are within easy reach.

Original beams, fine granite fireplaces and traditional furnishings enhance this lovely property’s homely atmosphere. Three wood burners add a cosy touch to proceedings in the splendid formal dining room, the lounge with its comfortable seating and the spacious kitchen, which also houses an AGA and breakfast table. Climb the granite staircase to a family shower room and three delightful king-size bedrooms. One houses an en-suite bathroom with a roll-top bath, and another has an additional single bed and en-suite shower room. Outside is a pretty and private garden with outdoor furniture and a BBQ.

Sheltered Crackington Haven is a family favourite for surfing and swimming, with a dog-friendly pub, a cafe and some toilets. Seasonal restrictions apply in the high season, but pets can run free in the mornings and evenings. While restrictions also apply on busy beaches in Widdecombe Bay and Bude, other stretches of their gorgeous golden sands are open throughout the year. The open-air sea pool in Bude is perfect for children, and beach-side water sports schools will teach novices how to ride the Atlantic rollers. Enjoy family fun and a good soaking at the Monster Slip and Slide and hone your kayaking skills on the peaceful Bude Canal.

We had a wonderful week at the cottage. It was so comfortable and cosy. There was everything you needed. It was a joy to cook in the lovely kitchen using the Aga. We also used the log burner in the kitchen/lounge in the evenings. The owners, Rachel and Chris, were so welcoming and kind. They really made us feel at home. We all loved Daisy their dogRead more too! We hope to return again one day. Hide

This is a lovely house in a lovely location. It is spacious, comfortable and warm. The stairs are quirky which we loved. It has gorgeous views. We picked blackberries in the hedgerows and mushrooms in the fields. It's off the beaten track and quiet. It is well placed for walking and we did a number of superb walks from the house. There are good facRead moreilities, shops etc nearby and Bude is close. Widemouth Bay is a fabulous beach. The owners are nice. friendly and helpful. We enjoyed meeting them. Hide

The farmhouse is large and really very user friendly (but not the quaint stairwell) everything you need is provided and the 3 bedrooms are each linked to separate bathrooms. Plenty of room to spread out with 2 TVs and space. Games and toys were appreciated by our grandson & parents.
