Crackington is equidistant between Widemouth Bay and Bude with a wide variety of restaurants and bars to the north and Boscastle to the south. There are majestic cliffs (Cornwall’s highest) just along the coast and some fantastically intriguing rock formations that are well worth a visit! Beach 2 miles

This traditional cottage, next door to the iconic cliff top Church at St Gennys (don’t worry, no chimes!) offers a proper cottage holiday in Cornwall. Nothing can quite compare to staying so close to the coastal path which is just a 5-minute walk from the cottage, with majestic views made even more spectacular by the height of the cliffs in this part of Cornwall. There is also a footpath just yards from the cottage which takes you on a beautiful 15-minute walk down to the beach at Crackington Haven.

Only the road separates the sea from a couple of beach shops, two superb beach cafés and a public house with a restaurant and fantastic terrace. The cottage is located in the parish of St. Gennys, which prides itself on the excellence of its public paths with the National Trust owning most of the cliff and adjacent farmland. Beach 1 mile.
