Meadowsweet Holidays

Meadowsweet Holidays is located at Ham Mill and you are welcome to explore the land owned by your hosts. There’s also a footpath which runs through the land, providing a handy way to get out on walks in the area. Head south and you will walk through the woodland of Coombe Valley, and can eventually make your way to Duckpool Beach. This remote beach offers pebbles and rockpools at high tide and an expanse of sand at low tide. There is a small National Trust car park there if you prefer to drive (it’s between two and three miles by road). You can also join the South West Coast Path here for stunning coastal walks. Other nearby beaches include Sandymouth Bay (four miles south) and Summerleaze Beach in Bude (seven miles) – which has plenty of facilities including the opportunity to learn to surf. That’s also on offer at Widemouth Bay, another few miles further south. The site is close to the border with Devon and Welcombe Mouth Bay and Westward Ho! Beaches are also reached in a drive of about half an hour.

The closest shop to Meadowsweet Holidays is Furze Stores in the aptly-named village of Shop. It is well-stocked with all the basics and has plenty of local produce too – and there’s a cafe, making it a nice destination to walk to. It’s about a mile-and-a-half from site. The Bush Inn, two miles from site in Crosstown is the closest pub offering good food and great folk nights. It has a garden with lovely countryside views and serves food and local drinks. And if you don’t fancy the pub, how about a cream tea at the tearooms in the nearby Church of St Morwenna and John the Baptist? It’s just up the road and recommended by your hosts. There’s a Co-op supermarket in Kilhampton where you’ll also find more places to eat and drink and takeaways too. Bude, with even more choice, is just over six miles from site.
