Crackington Haven is a charming cove near Boscastle, with a mix of rockpools, a sandy beach and good surf. There are two beach shops and cafes, which are wonderful to relax in and look out over the blue seas of the bay. Walking this section of the South West Coast Path, much of it owned by the National Trust, offers dramatic views, a host of wildflowers and an undulating terrain. Just along the coast is the quaint village of Boscastle, with gift shops, local restaurants and pubs offering good food, Cornish real ales and live entertainment by local musicians, making this an ever-popular visitor destination. The sandy Trebarwith Strand beach is within a short drive, as are the surfing beaches at Bude and Polzeath. Close at hand lies Tintagel, swathed in the legend of King Arthur, as well as several stately homes and renowned gardens, or the wide open space of Bodmin Moor, famous for its granite tors and Daphne Du Maurier’s Jamaica Inn.

Everything I needed for an escape from life :) The hut is perfect clean and functional, has possibly one of the best showers I've used... Hot tub was great, secluded and well kept.

Very welcoming and down to earth. Set out beautifully, The bathroom was amazing for the location! Any issues were dealt with immediately and compassionately! Really enjoyed our time away even with the poor weather. They have thought of everything in regards of things to do, from leaving board games to a binder with all the local restaurants and attractions. Would genuinely recommend this if you're looking for a few days in nature with a hottub

The hut was lovely and spacious, we had beautiful views of the countryside and our own private garden space. Our hosts Sue and Kev were very accommodating, they checked on us on arrival and popped to see if we needed anything else through the week which was great considering they are busy running the farm too. I would highly recommend to friends and family and we will definitely visit again.
