The picture postcard harbours of Boscastle (location of ‘A Seaside Parish’) and Tintagel are just 10 minutes away as is the nearest beach at Crackington Haven and the coast path, with its imposing cliffs (including the highest cliff in England) and hidden coves.
Bude is a short drive away (15 miles), as is the charming harbour of Padstow (home to Rick Stein’s famous Seafood Restaurant and St Petroc’s Bistro) and the nearest Blue Flag beach at Polzeath and the stunning, traditional fishing village of Port Isaac (home to ‘Doc Martin’).
The National Trust properties of Lanhydrock and Cotehele are close by. Bodmin Moor, with Roughtor and Brown Willy – the highest point in Cornwall – is a short drive away.
There is a wealth of wonderful restaurants, cafes and farm shops in the area, selling local produce, e.g. ‘Boscastle Farm Shop’, ‘The Mill’ at Trebarwith and ‘The Olive Tree’ at Bude.
