Demelza Cottage

Demelza Cottage is a stone-built property near Kilkhampton, sleeping 6 across 3 bedrooms - 2 doubles and 1 twin. Both first-floor bedrooms face the coast, and on a clear day the sea is visible from the upper rooms. The enclosed garden has a furnished patio and a BBQ, making it a practical space for groups who want outdoor meals without exposure to the wind.

Sandymouth Beach is 1 mile away - a National Trust-managed beach with rock pools and a stream running across the sand. Duckpool Beach is a further 300 metres at 1.2 miles, a more remote cove with no facilities but good surfing potential. The north Cornish coast path runs between both beaches and connects south toward Bude, around 3.7 miles away.

The property has a dishwasher, BBQ, Wi-Fi, parking, and a garden. No washing machine on-site. Up to 2 dogs welcome. The cottage has a star rating of 6 and rated 3.5 across 4 reviews - a small sample, so worth reading the individual reviews before booking.

Good for groups or families who want sea views and quick beach access without the premium of a coastal position. Not great for those expecting a high-spec kitchen or no-dogs environment, as the rating reflects a no-frills interior.
