Perfectly located for a beach holiday, or for exploring the rugged North Cornwall coastline, this beautifully-spacious bungalow is set in the small coastal village of Crackington Haven, just eight miles west of Bude. Reviewed by Susanna Scott, the founder of BritMums and with outstanding views from the magnificent garden and distant sea views from the decked area fringed with palm trees, this wonderful holiday home offers the ideal base for a family holiday by the sea.
Arriving at Nans-Tek and entering through the slate-floor porch, you turn into the open plan living room with sitting and dining areas and a feature ornamental fireplace. Straight on and you reach the well-equipped kitchen and utility room which will take you through to the conservatory, a wonderfully relaxing room whatever the weather.
From here you can step straight out into the splendid gardens and relax in the hot tub. Three well-furnished bedrooms, two of which benefit from French doors leading out onto decking outside, and the bathroom, complete the accommodation.
Crackington Haven is located in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and is a perfect spot for families, with a gently sloping beach in an enclosed bay that is great for rock pools when the tide is out. Breathtaking scenery abounds and offers stunning walks in every direction.
Why not take a walk north to Pencarrow Point and climb Cornwall's highest cliff? The bistro cafe and family pub offers refreshment when and as required.
With so many of the area's fantastic beaches and beautiful coastal villages close by, as well as the famous seaside town of Bude only eight miles away, this really is the place for a holiday by the sea whatever the time of year.
