St Tinney Farm

St Tinney Farm is a converted farm cottage on a 34-acre private estate near Bude, in the hamlet of Otterham on Cornwall's north coast. Otterham appears in the Domesday Book of 1086. Booking.com guests rate the estate 9.7 out of 10 from 149 reviews, with a 4-star rating and facilities scored 9.7.

The estate has 5 fishing lakes, a free games room, a children's play area and nature trails, alongside a heated outdoor swimming pool. A wood burner sits in the cottage, and dogs are welcome throughout. A country pub-style bar on-site serves food and drink each evening. WiFi, parking and a dishwasher are included.

Crackington Haven Beach is 4.1 miles from the farm, with Millook Beach 6 miles and Bossiney Cove 6.3 miles further along the coast. The surrounding area has featured in Poldark and Doc Martin, and inspired the writing of Thomas Hardy and Daphne du Maurier. Newquay Airport and Bodmin Parkway station are each about 35 minutes' drive.

Best for families or dog owners wanting space to roam, with lakes, play areas and a pool on-site. Less good for guests wanting to walk straight to a beach, since the coast is a drive rather than a stroll away.
