The food and sundries are of great quality and extremely good value compared to other experience of farm shops. Lunch was great but you need to book if you want to guarantee a table.
September 2021
We loved this place, so much so, we visited twice in the week we stayed in the area. The staff are wonderful and we enjoyed visiting the farm shop. The owner chatted to my husband about his gin choice and seemed very knowledgeable. Be prepared to wait for your food when you are sat outside (were were there during a spell of hot weather, so it was busy) but the staff always greet you and advise of how long they expect the wait will be, so you can make a choice.

January 2024
Worst fish and chips that I have ever eaten well tried to eat the chips are all hard like scraps and the cod was really soft batter and floating in grease had a bad experience a year ago here so thought would give it the benefit of doubt in case it was a one off but unfortunately it wasn’t last time I ever use here if you require lovely fish and chips go to tigtagel.

Popular place. Great food and cooked to order, which means waiting 20 mins plus when busy.

Museum of Witchcraft
(5 miles)
(2)
A magic experience to enjoy while you’re on holiday in Cornwall, the Museum of Witchcraft is in the village of Boscastle and was the creation of Cecil Williams whose fascination with the subject started in childhood. He set up the Cornish museum in 1960, saying it was three miles from a prehistoric maze stone carved into a living rock face, ‘proof that from ancient times man and his magic making with the world of spirit were active in this area’. Today you can visit to explore the collections or enjoy seasonal events such as candlelit evenings and Halloween at the museum.
Only visited once years ago as it doesn’t appear to open in the winter months.

Segway Bude
(7 miles)
(1)
Explore the breathtaking Cornish countryside whilst discovering the thrill of riding a Segway! You can ride a Segway with no prior experience at all, and whilst there is no minimum age, riders must be able to comfortably reach the handlebars (around 4ft) and weigh at least 5 stone to allow the Segway to work efficiently. Segwaying is a fun activity for all of the family, young and old, as well as couples and friends. If you're looking for something different to do and a little adventure in the Cornish countryside, then book a Segway session!
I enjoyed myself, but my 15 year old son thought it was a bit slow - he's used to electric scooters, etc. It was more a tour of a holiday park than a "scenic tour", which was a bit disappointing. The whole thing was over in about 45 minutes. Hard to work out where it was from the carpark, as there were no signs.

Fantastic!!!. Absolutely outstanding views
September 2021
Brilliant place to visit with so much history. It is a very steep walk down which you do not get told, we always took a short cut across the first bridge on your left that you will come to this will take you on to the church path which is fantastic this is a must to see the door is left open for tourist there are little booklets telling you all a bout it for a small fee in a donation box. If you want the Tintagel Castle head to the right of the opening. If you feel You can not walk to far catch the Land Rover's that only cost a couple of pounds you will find them on the top of the hill next to Wootans Pub. If you want to know more about the castle buy the book in the shop before you entre, it will talk you through step by step on where you are in the Castle and what sort of age the ruins are. Don't forget to check high times to visit Merlins Cave. Last thing for me to say is you will not be dissapointed
September 2021
Great place to visit and take it all in...

Much as we would have liked to try out the new bridge, we felt £16 each was a bit steep for the privilege and got a good enough view from the grounds of the big hotel above.

Crackington Haven
(Less than a mile)
(5)
At the end of a narrow valley, surrounded by towering cliffs, backing into the village of Crackington, Crackington Haven Beach offers shelter from the elements but only by comparison to the exposed coastline. The beach is all rocks and shingle, and has a seasonal ban on dogs from Easter to October. There’s parking at the beach, so remember to take cash for pay and display, and there are two cafes, a pub, surf hire and toilet facilities close by. There’s also lifeguard cover in the height of summer.
Lovely location on a sunny day.

April 2022
Lovely cove and beach, ample parking and facilities with a great café and pub. Beach is predominantly stones - which are beautiful and unique - life guard on duty and big waves - some care needed in the sea with seaweed and some dips - well worth a visit.

Strangles Beach
(2 miles)
Millook Beach
(4 miles)
Millook isn’t really a bathing beach but is well known amongst experience surfers, fishermen and those who enjoy some peace and quiet to observe the abundant wildlife – seals and dolphins are often spotted here as well as waders and birds of prey. The beach is also of great geological interest mainly for the imposing Penalt Cliff which towers above it.
Black Rock Beach
(5 miles)
The wild Blackrock Beach is found on the south side of Widemouth Bay but becomes isolated at high tide. The point and reef breaks here make is a well known spot for surfers, and the rock pools exposed at low tide draw families and nature lovers of all ages to this lovely spot. The cool little café here serves a tasty brunch or lunch including some great seafood.
Widemouth Beach
(5 miles)
(2)
Three miles south of Bude, Widemouth Bay Beach is a long, open bay that’s popular with families and surfers, while at low tide there are hundreds of rock pools to explore. It’s a wonderful place to learn to surf or body board thanks to fantastic conditions and lots of local surf schools in the surrounding area. There’s free parking at both ends of the bay as well as viewing points. Dogs are welcome throughout the year on the south section of the beach, otherwise known as Black Rock, but on the northern part there are seasonal dog bans. It has a wild feel to it, which adds to its appeal, and there is lifeguard cover in the summer, but nonetheless do be careful when swimming.
Lovely clean beach. Dogs enjoyed it!

The housekeeper was very helpful and answered questions quickly. Truly a great week in a lovely property which I assumed from the books and a few other details is owned by a Christian family. Thank you for letting us stay for Christmas!
January 2024
We absolutely loved the property. Unfortunately the weather was pretty biblical but we'd love to return in the Summer to enjoy the beautiful outdoor space. Luckily indoors was very cosy and we enjoyed chats around the fire and games in the dining room. Thank you.
September 2023
The house and location are superb! Love the welcome pack of Cornish treats. Love the books, games and homely touches that made the house feel more like "home" rather than just a holiday let. The pool room was a big hit!
September 2023
Despite the weather we enjoyed our stay very much and liked the house with its fabulous view (when the sea mists cleared)! There was plenty of seating in all sorts of places and rooms were a good size for the number of people. Can't comment on TVs etc as we didn't use them at all - not what we go away for! Kids and dog liked the garden and the house so all good. The walk to the beach is more than the 10 minutes advertised and definitely more on the way back up a 1:5 hill. Pub in the village is excellent, good food, good service and friendly. Thought people with very small children /toddlers would find the garden with all its slate / concrete/ wood steps on different levels an absolute nightmare - fortunately we are not in that age group. All in all a nice house in a good location, could just do with a bit of extra equipment and replacement equipment.
August 2023

The children had a gala time exploring the house, climbing the treehouse and playing in the garden, reading books from the children's library, and playing multiple games. The adults enjoyed the pool room and all the other amenities! We would absolutely recommend this holiday home.

At the end of a narrow valley, surrounded by towering cliffs, backing into the village of Crackington, Crackington Haven Beach offers shelter from the elements but only by comparison to the exposed coastline. The beach is all rocks and shingle, and has a seasonal ban on dogs from Easter to October. There’s parking at the beach, so remember to take cash for pay and display, and there are two cafes, a pub, surf hire and toilet facilities close by. There’s also lifeguard cover in the height of summer.
Lovely location on a sunny day.

Lovely cove and beach, ample parking and facilities with a great café and pub. Beach is predominantly stones - which are beautiful and unique - life guard on duty and big waves - some care needed in the sea with seaweed and some dips - well worth a visit.

Millook Beach
(4 miles)
Millook isn’t really a bathing beach but is well known amongst experience surfers, fishermen and those who enjoy some peace and quiet to observe the abundant wildlife – seals and dolphins are often spotted here as well as waders and birds of prey. The beach is also of great geological interest mainly for the imposing Penalt Cliff which towers above it.
Black Rock Beach
(5 miles)
The wild Blackrock Beach is found on the south side of Widemouth Bay but becomes isolated at high tide. The point and reef breaks here make is a well known spot for surfers, and the rock pools exposed at low tide draw families and nature lovers of all ages to this lovely spot. The cool little café here serves a tasty brunch or lunch including some great seafood.
Widemouth Beach
(5 miles)
(2)
Three miles south of Bude, Widemouth Bay Beach is a long, open bay that’s popular with families and surfers, while at low tide there are hundreds of rock pools to explore. It’s a wonderful place to learn to surf or body board thanks to fantastic conditions and lots of local surf schools in the surrounding area. There’s free parking at both ends of the bay as well as viewing points. Dogs are welcome throughout the year on the south section of the beach, otherwise known as Black Rock, but on the northern part there are seasonal dog bans. It has a wild feel to it, which adds to its appeal, and there is lifeguard cover in the summer, but nonetheless do be careful when swimming.
Lovely clean beach. Dogs enjoyed it!
