Bridgerule · 整套民居 · 1室1床1.0卫 · 可住2人 · “Carrageen”, rural haven with sea views, near Bude
Retreat to this beautiful part of the wild North Cornish coast, and be surrounded by green fields, yet have far-reaching views to the sea. Just a 12 minute drive to Widemouth Bay, a popular surfing beach, and 10 minutes to Bude…a thriving little coastal town with award winning beaches, shops, cafes and restaurants. Explore the stunning South West coastal path or pick up one of the cycle routes that pass the cottage. This is a perfect place to accommodate a peaceful or active getaway Carrageen is a light-filled little home, entered via a blue garden gate and through a private, pretty courtyard.The outdoor table and chairs encourage an alfresco meal under the apple tree, sipping a glass or two of wine, or a local Cornish ale, whilst watching the sun set over the Atlantic. We get amazing skies that we never tire of! And on some days you can hear the sea….when it is rough! A good size kitchen is well equipped for those who enjoy relaxing whilst working their culinary skills! There is a Gorenje fridge with small freezer compartment, an induction hob, a double electric oven with grill, a Bosch washing machine (with a line to dry clothes in the back yard) and a small dishwasher. A selection of local cookbooks are displayed for you to peruse and be inspired by. Have breakfast on the old pine table, whilst planning your day, or in the courtyard, should the weather allow! The lounge, with its high ceiling and skylights, is a lovely light room to relax in, even on a dull day, with antique stripped pine furniture, local art, and plants. On chillier evenings, close the French linen curtains and cosy up on the comfy Ikea sofa in front of a wood burning stove (wood will be supplied for your first fire and is easily attainable at the Whitstone Spa or our local petrol garage two minutes way). There is a Smart tv, but please be aware that the signal can be sporadic, depending on the weather, but the internet is good. There are books to enjoy as well! A circular table is another place to eat for a romantic meal, or provides a place to work at, with easy access to a plug socket. IF you decide to come in December, Carrageen will be lit with fairy lights! A contemporary shower room with large shower cubicle, is adjacent to the calmly decorated bedroom, with far reaching views. Sink into the comfortable kingsize bed, dressed with a washed linen duvet cover and cotton sheets. I have a new travel cot (with bassinet for a tiny baby) which can be put up on request. I also have a highchair . Carrageen is adjacent to our 1920’s family home, but has it’s own private entrance, parking space and courtyard. It is all set up for a short break or a two week holiday…..or longer! The proximity to many wonderful award winning beaches (some blue flag), and the bustling town of Bude make it an ideal holiday destination. Boscastle, Tintagel, Duckpool, Morwenstow, Hartland are all beautiful places to visit. Dartmoor, Port Isaac, Padstow, Polzeath, the Camel trail, the Tarka trail, Tavistock, Llanhydrock, and Rosemoor are further afield but just a few of many places worth a journey. We love to take a day down to Eden or The Lost Gardens of Heligan, or St Ives. There is no part of Cornwall or North Devon you cannot explore! NB: Terry and I respect diversity and inclusion and warmly welcome people from all backgrounds. We do the cleaning ourselves and use eco products as much as possible.
What a gem of a place. The pictures really don’t do the place justice. For a one bedroom place it felt so spacious and airy. It was beautifully decorated and had everything that you needed to make your stay enjoyable. It was set in a very rural location which made it very peaceful with lovely view. But it was also in easy reach of the coast and all the amenities you need. Janie was lovely and made us feel really welcome. We will definitely be return and also highly recommending to family and friends.
Verblijven bij Janie is alsof je thuis bent. Ze is bijzonder gastvrij en vriendelijk. Er lagen allerlei lekkernijen klaar bij aankomst en alles was brandschoon! De omgeving is geweldig en het uitzicht prachtig, enorme aanrader voor iedereen die van de Engelse kust houdt! Bedankt Janie 😊
We had the best time at Carrageen and Janie and Terry were amazing hosts! Although it was self check-in, Janie greeted us shortly after we arrived and came to explain how the heating worked. She also proactively checked in with us once throughout our stay and popped over to explain and answer a question we had. Both hosts are attentive and friendly and couldn’t do enough for us. Having said that, the cottage felt completely private and we enjoyed our own space. The views from the cottage are amazing and you can watch the sunset from the seating area outside. The hosts left such nice touches including essentials and even went the extra mile to provide lacto free milk after communicating a couple of days before. The cottage is such a light, airy, clutter free space with all the amenities you could need.
Quiet country road, surrounded by farmland….with easy access to main road to Bude (10 minutes) and Launceston ( 25 minutes), and Holsworthy (15 minutes), and the Atlantic Highway (A39).
Marhamchuch village (5 minutes) has a lovely local community shop with local produce. Our “go to” shop. Whitstone is 8 minutes back towards Launceston with a Spa and Post Office. This sells good frozen meals too! We have Sid’s garage 2 minutes away on the main road ( well actually it is B road!), open daily but not weekends.
Beautiful country drive to Widemouth Bay (12 minutes).
Please note that twice a year the farmer cuts the fields for silage and there will be tractor noise….(well we DO live in the country 😊) .
We are in lovely cycling countryside ( not as flat as the Netherlands though! ) and are on a designated cycle path.
Car is essential , but there is a bus stop just up the road that goes into Bude, Launceston and Plymouth
