About this property
Perfectly located for a beach holiday, or for exploring the rugged North Cornwall coastline, this beautifully-spacious bungalow is set in the small coastal village of Crackington Haven, just eight miles west of Bude. Reviewed by Susanna Scott, the founder of BritMums and with outstanding views from the magnificent garden and distant sea views from the decked area fringed with palm trees, this wonderful holiday home offers the ideal base for a family holiday by the sea. Arriving at Nans-Tek and entering through the slate-floor porch, you turn into the open plan living room with sitting and dining areas and a feature ornamental fireplace. Straight on and you reach the well-equipped kitchen and utility room which will take you through to the conservatory, a wonderfully relaxing room whatever the weather. From here you can step straight out into the splendid gardens and relax in the hot tub. Three well-furnished bedrooms, two of which benefit from French doors leading out onto decking outside, and the bathroom, complete the accommodation. Crackington Haven is located in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and is a perfect spot for families, with a gently sloping beach in an enclosed bay that is great for rock pools when the tide is out. Breathtaking scenery abounds and offers stunning walks in every direction. Why not take a walk north to Pencarrow Point and climb Cornwall's highest cliff? The bistro cafe and family pub offers refreshment when and as required. With so many of the area's fantastic beaches and beautiful coastal villages close by, as well as the famous seaside town of Bude only eight miles away, this really is the place for a holiday by the sea whatever the time of year.

It is actually the only holiday house we have ever gone back to twice. We love the garden with its hot tub and the panoramic views. Huge bonus to have a washing machine and tumble dryer too. The house has all you need. Wonderful holiday home. We look forward to our next holiday!

We had a wonderful holiday here, because the home has everything you might need, from a mop and bucket to a bag of pegs for hanging your laundry. The whole place was perfectly clean and tidy, with plenty of storage in every room. Also loved the selection of toys, books and DVDs.

We love Crackington Haven so weâre really pleased to find a good sized property in the village. The hot tub was a really fantastic addition too. The views from the property could be absolutely stunning so it was a shame that the hedge hadnât been cut for sometime, obscuring a lot of the view. This really could have been a five star holiday, except for this and just a few other things. The cutlery in the kitchen drawer wasnât very clean when we arrived, and no washing up liquid is provided so renters are hard pushed to clean up on their final morning without it. We bought our own, but other tenants may not. Weâve been renting cottages for many years and this is something that is most usually provided. The frying pan in the property is not useable as all the non stick coating is peeling off. There were no bin liners in the bathroom or bedroom bins. Again, we have found this is standard in other lets. The bed linen has really seen better days. There were marks on all of the linen but one of the beds was particularly bad. I did request new sheets for this one which were promptly provided. All the bed linen smelt fresh so thereâs no question that is had been washed but had been left with marks from the washing machine I think. Also, the use of dark coloured towels always feels like a no no for me. Itâs a shame these few things let the property down really as otherwise, it is a beautiful, comfortable property, making for a superb holiday let
