Quaint and authentic cottage in a gorgeous setting

We loved how cute and authentic the cottage was and the little village of Crackington Haven is just blissful, with a great cafe and restaurant at your doorstep and the SW coastal path literally a stone's throw away. We loved our stay and would highly recommend if you're looking for peace and quiet on the rugged and wild Cornish coast.

About the host

Hosted by Emily Woodward

I have been going down to Crackington Haven all my life (40 + years!) with my extended family and we all now go down each year with our children making up a group of about 35! The haven has a very special place in my heart and my two young daughters and husband now have the Crackington 'bug' so we are very excited to own this gorgeous characterful thatched cottage which is a stone's throw from the beach, pub and café. We love the outdoors so it is the perfect place for us - the coastal walks are stunning and the surfing fantastic with a beautiful beach to relax on while the children fish in the rock pools and play in the sand.

Why they chose this property

As this cottage is 400 years old it oozes character and provides the perfect cosy nest after a day on the beach or hiking along the Cornish coast-line. The location is ideal - it is just metres from the beach with the pub and café on your doorstep. There is no need to get in the car once you have arrived and the cottage provides the perfect haven to switch off from every day stress and relax.

What makes this property unique

It is located on the coastal path, with a private garden where you can enjoy the sea view and stunning sunsets. There is an outside hot shower for when you come off the beach after a surf. It is a thatched cottage which is 400 years old and provides a perfect cosy retreat.
