Tamarisk Holiday Cabins

The surrounding countryside is pleasant for walking and if you want one on the coast, it’s easy thanks to the South West Coast Path. You could walk in an hour (or drive in a few minutes) to Crackington Haven to join it and head off in either direction. Crackington Haven is the nearest beach to site (three miles). It’s a sand and shingle cove surrounded by cliffs. There are more options around Bude (eight miles) which has seven sandy beaches to choose from and plenty of facilities including surfboard hire and lessons available. Boscastle (nine miles) is a typical harbour village on the North Cornish Coast that’s a similar distance away. A few miles south of Boscastle is Tintagel (12 miles) with its iconic clifftop castle and beyond that is Port Isaac (18 miles), another fishing village that’s famous as the location for TV programme Doc Martin and for sea shanty singers, Fisherman’s Friends. The edge of Bodmin Moor is about nine miles from site for inland adventures.

As a treat for your arrival, why not order the Cornish cream tea (scones, jam and cream - in that order) that’s offered by your hosts as an extra? There’s also the option to buy half a dozen eggs from the farm. For more than that stop at the supermarket in Launceston (17 miles) on the way here or head just up the road to Wainhouse Country Stores which is well stocked with all the basics. It’s next door to the closest place for a meal out too: The Old Wainhouse Inn, about half a mile up the road, on the A39. It’s a country pub with a good menu of pub food. There’s another option four miles away in Tresparrett, The Horsehose Inn, which offers good food and good beer. Crackington Haven (three miles) also has its own pub, The Coombe Barton Inn, two cafes and another local shop.
