Welcombe Mouth: cove with rocks and low-tide sand between exceedingly spectacular cliffs (great surfing) in one of the most ‘away from it all’, completely unspoilt parts of the West Country and designated an area of ‘outstanding natural beauty’. It is between Hartland, 10 miles, and Bude, 12 miles. Welcombe hamlet (good food pub and craft shop) is 1 mile inland. Coast path, great birdwatching. Nearest shops, Kilkhampton, 7 miles.

... a mile from the good food pub at Welcombe and in total privacy, a single storey house with superbly tranquil views to the sea at Welcombe Mouth ( mile). The whole area (mostly owned by Nat.Trust and Cadbury Trust) is a haven for deer, badgers, birds, butterflies and wildlife in general. Approached along 150 yards of hardcore track, 3 acres belonging to it, mostly left to provide wildlife habitat. Flat grass area with picnic bench looking down to the sea (toddlers must be supervised). Inside, stylishly rustic with high, exposed roof beams and most rooms enjoying great views. Porch for boots/coats with tumble drier; open-plan living/dining/fitted kitchen (microwave) with oak floor, comfy leather sofas, huge fireplace (woodburner), handmade oak table and glazed doors to garden; utility room with dishwasher, washing machine and fridge-freezer. Hall to three bedrooms two double (both with 5’ beds with footboards) and one with bunks (bottom bed 2’6) plus single, all with composite flooring/rugs. Bathroom (suite plus hand-shower) and shower-room (suite with power-shower). Spring water (tested). Suitable for partially disabled. Phone for incoming calls. No smoking. Brilliant place for chilling out.
