Crackington Haven Stone Cottage

Prepare for a peaceful solo or romantic stay at this stylish stone holiday cottage near North Cornwall's dramatic coast. The one-bed property is tucked within beautiful countryside 2 miles from Crackington Haven, whose surfing beach is right on your doorstep for morning paddles, salty swims and board-ready waves. You can also join the scenic coast path for pretty walks taking in dramatic and rugged scenery (picnic recommended!). When you fancy a change of scene, Bude (9 miles) boasts sandy stretches, independent shops, bars and restaurants to fill easy-going holiday days. At the postcard-pretty harbour of Boscastle (5 miles), you can wander along the water, explore artisan shops or join dramatic coastal paths. Further afield, Port Isaac (19 miles) tempts visitors with its winding lanes, working harbour and foodie hotspots.

On arrival, once you've admired the elegant stone exterior, step inside to find a pretty interior dressed in simple and elegant Scandinavian decor. The open-plan living area brings everything together for a relaxed stay, whether you're curling up in the lounge with a film on the surround-sound TV or cooking up fresh Cornish produce in the well-equipped kitchen. This space has a lovely vaulted ceiling with wooden beams and stylish decorative touches, including carefully chosen artwork on the walls for a creative atmosphere. A dining area is all ready for tucking into meals or planning tomorrow's adventures. When it's time to turn in, the calming double bedroom provides an inviting place to rest. A contemporary bathroom, complete with a shower over the bath and WC, completes the cottage's interior.

In good weather, head outside to the pretty shingled seating area where you'll have a picnic table for al fresco meals or sunset drinks.
