Coastal Farmhouse

This three-bedroom farmhouse on a National Trust working farm sits on the North Cornwall coast near Crackington Haven, sleeping six guests across two king-size bedrooms and one twin. Each bedroom has its own bathroom - three in total - which removes the morning queuing problem for a larger group. Original features run throughout: exposed beams, granite fireplaces, and a wood burner in the main living area.

A farm track from the property connects directly to the South West Coast Path, so walkers can step out without driving first. Crackington Haven Beach is 2.3km away across dramatic cliffs, Millook Beach 3.2km and Widemouth Bay 5.7km. Bude, with its sea pool and town facilities, is under 10 miles north.

The private garden has outdoor furniture and a charcoal BBQ. Up to two dogs are welcome. The farmhouse scores 4.4 from 9 reviews on HolidayCottages.co.uk, hosted by Robert.

Suits walkers or families with dogs who want a working farm setting with quick access to the coast path. Crackington Haven is a small cove village with a pub and beach cafe - not a resort, which keeps it quieter through the season. Not great for guests who need a short walk to a town or supermarket - this is a rural property where a car is essential.
