Appleloft

Appleloft is a two-bedroom stone cottage in the hamlet of Pencuke, near Crackington Haven, sleeping 4. The ground-floor bedroom has two 3ft single beds. Stairs from the lounge lead to a galleried bedroom with a super-king bed and an en suite cloakroom, where the floor is a reminder that the building was once an apple loft. The cottage was renovated in 2023.

The lounge has a wood burner, with the first logs included, and a Smart TV. The new kitchen has a dishwasher and washing machine, and Wi-Fi and central heating are included. Three steps lead up to the dining room and the family bathroom, which has a bath with a shower over. Gardens at the front and rear have furniture, there is a bike store, and parking is ample behind a gated drive. One medium dog is welcome and a large dog is available on request.

Crackington Haven beach is about 2 miles away, and the community shop at Higher Crackington is within walking distance. Boscastle is just over 5 miles off, and Bude is 10 miles, a 20-minute drive.

Best for walkers and couples or small families who want a quiet rural base and are happy to drive to the coast, with the coast path reachable from Crackington Haven. Less good for anyone who wants to walk to a beach, shops and pubs, since a car is needed for almost everything. The steps and stairs make it a poor fit for guests with limited mobility.
