The immediate area appeals to beach lovers, cliff top walkers and surfers. By the beach at Crackington Haven are two cafes, a pub and a tennis court, all surrounded by rugged cliffs. Further north is the wider beach of Widemouth Bay and beyond that the seaside beach town of Bude with a selection of shops and restaurants, a supermarket, canal walks and ten pin bowling.

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.
