This family-friendly farm is the perfect choice if you are looking for a rural retreat just minutes from the seaside. Set on a 120-acre, family-run working farm, these two lovely cottages, offer comfortable and welcoming accommodation. Located just ¾ mile from Widemouth Bay, one of the most spectacular stretches of coastline in north Cornwall, there is something here to suit guests of all ages. You could even book both of the properties together for extended family or friends.
The larger cottage, Goose Cottage is a charming barn conversion and boast lovely views of the surrounding rural landscape. With spacious open plan living space, it is ideal for enjoyable gatherings of families or friends. Barn Cottage offers a first floor living room, complete with doors which open onto a small decked balcony where guests can admire the magnificent views across rolling fields and out to the sea. Both properties enjoy shared access to the range of facilities found on-site, including a tennis court and a children’s outdoor play area with slides, swings and a climbing wall. Why not take a dip in the heated outdoor swimming pool, or challenge friends and family to the variety of games found in the small indoor games barn including table tennis, air hockey and a small pool table. A communal utility room with washing machines and a tumble dryer is available for both properties. Friendly chickens, ducks and geese roam the courtyard, and the tame peacock may pay you a visit to your door. There is a woodland walk to the rear, and a 20-minute walk on a footpath across the fields to the front will take you across sheep grazed meadows to Widemouth Bay.
Widemouth Bay is an extremely popular holiday destination and is world famous for surfing. It has far reaching, exceptional sandy beaches, and provides miles of coastal paths for enthusiastic walkers. The well loved tourist town of Bude is just 3 miles further up the coast. The town offers an indoor swimming pool, shops, restaurants, horse riding, a golf course and tenpin bowling. For the keen walker there are many opportunities both along the south west coastal path route, which runs the entire coastline of Cornwall and offers stunning cliff walks, and on nearby Bodmin Moor. Beach 1 mile. Shop, pub and restaurant 1 mile.
Had 7 enjoyable nights in goose cottage. Spacious and comfortable with added bonus of Netflix. Welcome pack including scones well received. Fridge was turned down a bit low so we did lose some food before we realised, needed turning up to at least 4. Living in close proximity to the farm animals wouldn't be for everyone but we enjoyed it, particularly Arthur the peacock. Owners very friendly and good location, walking distance down to the beach. Cottage would benefit from a visitor book and information folder. All in all an enjoyable stay.
Our stay July, 2019
A real "gem"......surrounded by absolutely beautiful countryside and walks. The Bude beaches are,literally 5 minutes drive away....some dog friendly, plus we could walk to dog friendly Black Rock Beach, which took 20-30 minutes across the fields. Pat was wonderfully friendly and helpful...she greeted us, with tea and scones....delightful lady, as was her son, Alastair. A heated outdoor swimming pool was a real bonus too, especially for our granddaughters. Goose Cottage is a beautiful barn conversion, very well equipped and spotless....one of the cleanest holiday places we have been to. Booking again next year! Fiona & Bob
