Avondale

Avondale is a three bedroom bungalow near Crackington Haven for five guests, managed through host Charlie. The king size room and the twin each sleep two, while the double room is limited to a single guest, and two bathrooms serve the whole group.

An open-plan living area anchors the property, with a patio overlooking a large lawn outside. WiFi, parking, a dishwasher and a washing machine are included, and one dog can stay. There is no wood burner, hot tub or pool, so guests wanting those extras should look elsewhere.

Crackington Haven Beach, a mix of sand and shingle beneath cliffs approaching 400 feet, is 1.2 miles away. Millook Beach is 3.4 miles from the house and Widemouth Bay 5 miles. The coast path in both directions from Crackington Haven is among the most demanding in Cornwall, crossing High Cliff, the highest sheer cliff in the county, on the route north towards Bude.

Avondale holds a 4.4 out of 5 rating from 18 reviews, a solid score for a bungalow that pairs family-sized bedrooms with genuine outdoor space on the large lawn.

**Best for:** A family of five wanting three bedrooms, two bathrooms, a large lawn and space for a dog.

**Less good for:** Groups expecting two guests in the double room, EV drivers, or anyone needing a pool or hot tub.
