Situated just north of Bude, with fabulous access to all the glorious beaches, including Northcott Mouth and Sandymouth, which is just south of Duckpool beach at the bottom of the Coombe Valley and Stowe Woods.

Further north and you are over the border into Devon, where Clovelly is well worth a visit. Beach 3¼ miles.

This compact comfortable chalet was close to the coast enabling us to walk the north Devon and Cornish coast path. There were pubs and takeaways in the village but the amenities on the site are rather run down. The host Jane gave us a very warm welcome and nothing was too much trouble for her. We enjoyed our stay at Sandy Cottage it was quiet warm and comfortably furnished and well equipped,
