Property code: OC-S34972

A charming North Cornwall hideaway with a Mediterranean spin, this inviting coastal cottage sits metres away from Widemouth Bay and offers a perfect seaside base for couples and small families. With the sandy beach just 300 metres away, days of water sports, sandcastle building and relaxation are made easy. For keen walkers and wildlife spotters, the scenic South West Coast Path passes through the beach, offering dramatic routes deeper into Cornwall, or northwards towards Upton (2 miles) and Bude (3 miles). In bustling Bude, find a wide choice of shops for holiday mementoes and local produce, or dine out in one of the many seaside pubs and restaurants. Afterwards, enjoy a sandy stroll along Summerleaze Beach or take a dip in the tidal pool. Further afield, uncover Arthurian legend at Tintagel Castle (16 miles) or discover the picture-postcard beauty of Crackington Haven (6 miles).

Before stepping into this welcoming Cornish cottage, take a moment to admire its wraparound garden laid to lawn and the Mediterranean-inspired exterior, setting the scene for a memorable coastal stay. Head inside and be greeted by a cosy kitchen/diner with wood-panelled flooring and a roaring wood burner. Find all you need in the kitchen for a self-catered stay, then gather at the round dining table set beneath a skylight that floods the room with natural light. Afterwards, follow the rustic floorboards through to the lounge, where soft seating and a Smart TV set the scene for cosy evenings together. On balmy days, swing open the French doors to the garden and let the fresh Cornish air fill the home. For more relaxation, an additional seating area with far-reaching views awaits upstairs, perfect for morning coffee. At the end of each busy day away, retire to a choice of two restful bedrooms: a king-size room and a comfortable sized double bedroom. Both bedrooms boast en-suite bathrooms, while an additional family wet room means no shower queues in the morning.

Outside, make full use of the lawned garden that wraps around the cottage. Watch little ones and pets run wild on the grass as the adults gather for an evening tipple before lighting the BBQ and dining alfresco all together. Guests will also benefit from private parking for one large car and one small car in the garage.

A really beautifully created, cosy and comfortable home from home, by the wild and wonderful ocean and beach. Loved the images and objects and sculptures from around the world, with love of surfing sea and planet to be witnessed in every room. Thankyou

Lovely bungalow, very comfortable and excellent location. We found a remote control for the garage door in the kitchen after we had struggled on arrival, as the control is ceiling height and I am only 5 foot 2 inches tall. Hopefully they will update the information so others can access this on arrival. Also, if you like a mug of tea / coffee / hoRead moret chocolate - take your own - only small tea cups and tiny, ristretto sized coffee mugs provided. Highly recommend the Beach House and Bar to eat. https://www.beachhousewidemouth.co.uk/ - fabulous food, wonderful staff and views out to sea. We had lunch and dinner there. Hide
