About this property
This charming, character cottage rests on the edge of the village of Delabole, in North Cornwall. Surrounded by luscious Cornish countryside, Bakers Cottage provides an idyllic bolthole base for families looking to escape normality and discover picturesque Cornish attractions. Return from a day of walking and relax in the lounge, furnished with two sofas in front of a woodburning stove, ideal for a cosy night in. Move through to the kitchen/diner, where the house chef can impress with a home-cooked dish, assisted by the electric oven and hob, microwave and fridge/freezer. Take a seat at the dining table and toast to a long-awaited getaway with your nearest and dearest, before heading out to the rear courtyard and chatting away into the night. As the night falls, choose from the double or twin bedroom to lay your rest, while the ground-floor bathroom provides choice of bath and shower over, so you can decide how best to prepare for the night. Just a short stroll from Bakers Cottage will take you to the famous Bettle and Chisel pub where a warm welcome is assured, and a choice of local ales and a comprehensive menu is always available. Alternatively, pick up a portion of fresh fish and chips from the Smugglers chippy in the village, an ideal treat to enjoy after a day on the beach. Those looking to get their steps in can hike along the National Trust owned Glebe Cliff and see St. Pirans Well, or head inland to the town of Bodmin and discover the 18th century prison of Bodmin Jail Attraction and Bodmin Beacon. While in the area, be sure to visit the majestic Tintagel and explore its quaint buildings and stunning scenery. For further seaside adventures, box off Port Isaac, Polzeath and Rock, each bursting with sights, attractions, and amenities. Take a walk down a footpath to Trebarwith Strand to see the beautiful beaches when the tide is low. With all this, along with the picturesque Tamar Valley Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and the Dartmoor National Park within easy reach, a holiday at Bakers Cottage is a wonderful choice.
This small community, once the world's best-quality building and ornamental slate maker, lies barely 2.5 miles from the north Cornish coastline's high cliffs and breathtaking scenery. It's a well-placed holiday location for walking the South West Coastal Path, seeing the high mountains of neighbouring Bodmin Moor, or relaxing on the beach at nearby Trebarwith Strand. Port Isaac, a calm port community, and Tintagel, with its tourist attractions and King Arthur's fabled castle, are both within a short drive, while Polzeath, a spectacular surfing beach, is only nine miles distant. Five minutes away lies Slaughtersbridge, where King Arthur is said to have fought his last fight, and a journey north along the coast takes you to Crackington Haven, a picturesque bay. A location away from the main tourist crowds, but close to a wide range of attractions and activities. Delabole Quarry, a popular tourist attraction with breathtaking views, is just down the road. It is the starting point for wonderful countryside hikes.

The cottage is on a main road so you can hear the traffic early morning, but, it didnât bother us.

The loo had wee on it and around it, the sink also was not clean. The sink in the kitchen had a water leak into a container which had been overflowing inside the cupboard for some time. What more could I say. We contacted the owner in the morning and he came round within an hour to see the problems which by this time we had cleaned up to a point, as we had to live there as we thought it would totally ruin our holiday. The owner helped to clean up and tried to repair the leak. When asked, he agreed to offer a 10 % discount. We agreed as we were totally disappointed with the problems we were facing and wanted to just get on with our holiday as best we could. When we left the leak was still not sorted.

. Pros: in a convenient position for seeing most of the sights of the North Cornwall coast.Close to the village facilities ,store pubs etc. Good modern kitchen with most facilities. Cons: parking not easy. Low uncomfortable settees. Directly on the road with constant traffic noise. Steep stairs to upper double bedroom with toilet downstairs. Television reception intermittent on many channels. May suit a young family but I would, certainly, not recommend for anyone with mobility issues or,as we are 78/80 years old.
