Delightful retreat, 3 mins walk to Widemouth Bay blue flag beaches & coast path
The Summerhouse is a retreat specifically designed and fully equipped for holidays by the sea all year round. Our guests tell us The Summerhouse is 'home from home' and perfect for couples, friends and families. The property benefits from a light airy open plan living on the ground floor encompassing a dining, kitchen and lounging area. Large sliding doors open onto a secure, private courtyard where you can play, sunbathe, BBQ, eat, drink or relax with a book to the sound of the waves breaking. There are two attic bedrooms, one double and one twin which provide a cozy sleeping environment. The ceilings are low though! The shower room is on the ground floor off the entrance hall. Your parking is off road on a shared private drive.
The property is conveniently situated in a private lane just 3 mins walk from Widemouth's two fabulous Blue Flag and seaside award beaches, this being the Gold Standard for beaches internationally, popular with families, surfers, walkers and sunbathers. The village has two great pubs, village farm shop which sells fantastic fresh fish and locally grown and reared produce, a fish and chip shop, as well as the beach cafe providing you with all the Cornish cream teas and ice creams you might fancy.
Widemouth is situated on the South West Coast path and is a great base for exploring Cornwall on land or sea, by wave, foot, car or bike in any season.

The Summerhouse
Absolutely fantastic, we had a lovely time 😄Bob & Nic were so kind - not only leaving scones / jam / cream / cider, but had a chat with us about the local area
Very handy location for the beach and cafe we’d definitely return :)

Excellent and welcoming stay
We had a fantastic four night stay at the Summerhouse at the start of the October 2022 half term. From the outset and throughout, the communication from the hosts, Nicola and Bob was excellent. The Summerhouse is a cosy, warm, well equipped lodge in a brilliant location in walking distance of Widemouth Bay, if you are looking for a place to walk, swim or get in the surf it's perfect.
Downstairs the kitchen and lounge area are roomy and welcoming, with lots of thoughtful touches such as games, dvd, WiFi, milk, coffee, tea and scones. The downstairs bathroom has a great shower and the eco friendly toiletries were lovely. Upstairs the bedrooms are a quirky V shape and are well equipped and comfortable. Outside patio space is good and is set up for surfers and beach goers with taps, spare gear and hangers.
We took advantage of borrowing the classic vintage wooden body boards which were brilliant fun, although we actually enjoyed using them most at the slightly less lively waves at Bude, which is just a 10 min drive away.
The hosts recommend the nearby BeachHouse restaurant which is in walking distance - great food and welcome.
The hosts are completely transparent about the building work going on next door at the moment and unfortunately it is quite intrusive being right by the Summerhouse. If you are people who like to get up and out early before 8am then it won't bother you too much but if you want a lie in, then it's not great. Very frustrating for the hosts I'm sure and hopefully it will get finished soon.
The hosts were extremely flexible and let us check out later which was appreciated.
Recommended as a brilliant base to visit North Cornwall, and particularly recommended for those who want to get into the sea.

Christmas in Widemouth Bay
we had a fantastic Christmas at Widemouth Bay, the property had everything needed & more, the location was superb, on Christmas morning we walked the 5 mins to the beach & watched all of the Christmas morning swimmers, great sight to see, our son lives 2 mins walk from the property so was an ideal location for us to spend Christmas with our grandchildren, now we have found this property we shall return. thank you

Lovely stay in Widemouth Bay
The property was beautifully laid out and furnished making use of all the spaces and being completely self-conrained. We were met by the owner on arrival and everything was explained. The scones, clotted cream and jam were especially welcome and very tasty - a lovely touch!
We struggled a little bit with the low sloping ceiling in the bedroom but we knew about that before we booked. All the amenities were provided and thoughtfully done including books, games and DAD'S if you wanted them plus use of wetsuits which was a great extra that was provided.
Altogether, a lovely property which was perfect for the two of us.

Gorgeous beach house
This was a perfect spot to head to the beach everyday. It's about a 5 min walk to the beach cafe (one of my favourites in Cornwall as it just feels like you are still on the beach), and a few mins walk to the sand dunes higher up the beach. The outside patio in the house is a perfect private area to take off wet suits and shower outside before going inside de-sanded. Also lovely to sit out there when the sun is shining (twice in one week for us only...). There are bi-fold doors to the patio to make the whole place seem bigger (when it's not raining, which wasn't too much of the time we were there!!). The place had everything we needed for a lovely stay, including some good quick puzzles, an x-box and a good range of books - kids and adults happy :) The upstairs has very low ceilings (eaves) so just be aware of this if you like your space. There is also only a toilet downstairs (clearly written on the website and didn't bother us).
