Secluded rural setting close to coastal path & beaches. A fabulous location to explore Cornwall. Family run for over 40 yrs. 5 min drive to Crackington. Featured in The Guardian in May 2017: 'This place is gorgeous. Wooden beams, a high ceiling, charming wonky floors and walls that mean you are in a “real” old house. Natural light pours through the windows, and outside are rolling landscapes of dewy-morning grass lit up by the sun – all accompanied by the sound of birdsong and bleating sheep.' Unique ancient Cornish barn, oozing charm and character; situated in rural location, yet only six minutes drive from gorgeous Crackington Haven beach, or a hearty hours walk across stunning coastal path. This cosy cottage sleeps four in a double and a twin room. Cleave Cottage has slate and wooden floors, stone walls and old wooden beams. This ‘upside down’ cottage has a lovely contemporary feel, whilst maintaining its unique rustic character. It has central heating and a cosy wood burner.

Quote from Pete Newham who stayed in Cleave Cottage in 2019 - 'We've holidayed in Cornwall for years and love it, we especially like the north coast, but we never stay in the same cottage twice. However, last year we felt there was something special about Cleave Farm and want to return again to Cleave Cottage.' They did return - and keep returning every year!

The cottage is located up a mile long, single track lane which passes through a stream. It is set within Cleave Farm's fields and woodland and is very close to the spectacular, rugged Cornish path and coastline. It's only 200m from the coast path with spectacular coastal and woodland walks. The kitchen and living space is open plan and spacious. There is plenty of outdoor space to play, chill, BBQ and star gaze in the evenings! Cleave Cottage is set among eight dwellings on the farm - we live in Middle Cottage next door. We are secluded and tucked away in a wonderful location, yet not too far from many exciting places that Cornwall has to explore.
