About this property
Minack is a charming detached, single-storey property resting in the hamlet of Marhamchurch, and with off-road parking and pet-friendly accommodation, the property welcomes a family or a group of friends to immerse themselves amongst the countryside and coast of Cornwall. Enter into a hallway with wheelchair access via a sloped ramp, and unpack into this lovely abode, firstly discovering a quirky sitting room with an electric fire and eye-catching yellow sofas, a theme throughout the well thought out décor. Here guests can enjoy a good book or a movie marathon after a long day of exploring the local area. From the sitting room, guests can access the rear patio, a space enjoying beautiful countryside views, ideal for an alfresco affair, and there is a second patio at the front of the property allowing guests to make the most of the sunshine. A contemporary kitchen/diner boasts a whole host of amenities to cater to your culinary needs, as well as tasteful sage cupboards, eye-catching patterned tiles and a dining table where guests can enjoy a hearty meal together. When sleep calls, freshen up in the shower room as the handy utility takes care of your washing, before cosying up into one of the three tasteful bedrooms. Choose between a king-size with handy en-suite and quality furniture, a double with wardrobe space, and a bunk, ideal for children. Marhamchurch is a hamlet settled into the countryside of Cornwall, offering a local convenience store for all of your holiday essentials, and a pub, The Bullers Arms. The property is within reach of many fantastic walks along the coast of Cornwall, passing through Water Cove Beach, Efford Beacon, and towards the Hartland Cornwall Heritage Coast, where there are many stunning beaches to be explored. For more amenities and attractions, head over to Bude, where there is a great selection of shops, pubs, tasty eateries and riverside walks, Bude Sea Pool, Compass Point and a local beach ideal for enjoying the sunshine and salty air. Further from the property, discover attractions such as Launceston Castle, The Museum of Witchcraft and Magic, Merlin’s Cave and Hartland Abbey. Enjoy a Cornish break to remember with a stay at the delightful Minack.
Marhamchurch is a fantastic base for those looking to explore the Cornish coast and is only 2.5 miles from the coastal town of Bude. This quiet village has a church at its centre and there is a very useful local shop and pub. Nearby Bude has something for everyone, great beaches for relaxing, and building sandcastles on, rockpools for investigating at low tide and cafes to watch it all from. The rolling waves are great for surfing all year round, and the footpaths by the restored canal or on the North Cornwall coastal path offer you a superb opportunity to explore and appreciate the outstanding countryside. Bude also has a superb golf course, indoor swimming pool, bowling alley/indoor play area and Heritage Centre at Bude Castle. It also has a good selection of local shops, supermarkets, cafes, pubs, restaurants and excellent Information Centre. Within a short drive are the remains of a huge iron age hill fort at Warbstow Bury, from where panoramic views can be seen. For days out, take the coast road north to see the lonely lighthouse above the sea at Hartland Point or walk or ride a donkey down the steep and cobbled village street (no cars allowed) of beautiful Clovelly to the harbour and the pub far below. Follow the coast in the other direction and there's the little cove of Crackington Haven, Boscastle, King Arthur's castle at Tintagel, Doc Martin's Port Wenn at Port Isaac and yet more great surfing beaches at Polzeath.

My only comment would be the bed in the master room was a bit too hard for my wife and my own comfort level.
