About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Stunning luxury cliff top retreat - direct access to the South West Coast Path.

Cancleave has been in the family since 1962. During the winter of 2020/21 it underwent a complete knockdown and rebuild to create a modern, energy efficient and comfortable property.

Cancleave is situated in beautiful North Cornwall, on the coast road between Crackington Haven and Widemouth Bay. With a large lawned garden bordering the South West Coast Path, it commands extensive views across Bude Bay.

The property lies within the North Cornwall designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty as well as the Boscastle to Widemouth SSSI (Site of Special Scientific Interest). Nearby Widemouth Bay, Bude and Crackington Haven beaches are all patrolled by RNLI lifeguards on a seasonal basis, as are many of the other beaches in the area.
It makes a great base to expolore the many attractions and delights that North Cornwall has to offer. From the coast path outside the gate, the numerous picturesque coastal villages, nearby Bodmin Moor and the highly acclaimed Eden Project slightly further afield, there is something for everyone.

The attractions are too numerous to list and the best bit is exploring for yourself.

Cancleave is the most fabulous place to stay. The location is incredible with wraparound lawns ideal for families and four legged friends. The views and sunsets beautiful. The house itself is brilliantly furnished, extremely comfy and equipped perfectly. The area has so much to do, all within an easy distance, loads of beaches and great places to eat and drink. Didn’t want to leave!

Stunning location

We booked this property much earlier this year as a venue for a 50th birthday gathering for friends and family. It was ideal. The facilities for the various combinations of people was fantastic. The house itself is stunning, the location is amazing, and everyone had a wonderful time.

Blissful retreat

Phenomenal recently renovated property right on the coastal path with sweeping views. Very spacious 4 bed 4 bathroom accommodation that our family loved. Very large garden that was perfect for watching the sun set and the cows and sheep in the adjacent fields. We really lacked for nothing and would definitely rent Cancleave again.

Wonderful and memorable week

Location could not be better. Quite and picturesque. The house is well designed, with a well equipped kitchen and all other necessary accessories. A few suggestions if the manager could accommodate; Provide a Nespresso machine, which is not too costly and provide specs so guests can bring their own Nespresso pods. Instal a short fence or plant some shrubs in front of the septic tank to block the view from the bedroom windows.

Fantastic property in a peaceful location

The property has been beautifully rebuilt with quality fixtures and fittings. It has everything you could possibly need and felt like a home from home. The view was spectacular. There was plenty of space for seven adults and we never felt cramped or in each others way. I would definitely recommend it!

Absolutely Gorgeous

Such a lovely property with amazing views and access to fantastic coastal walks. Great beaches near by and if you are up for an adventure then the steep descent/abseil to the beach directly below the property is a lot of fun. Patrick was superb with communication and also gave us lots of recommendations. The farm shop in Boscastle has amazing scones, quiche and fresh meat. Northcott bay was beautiful- a great expanse of sand as the tide goes out. Plus a lovely cliff walk there too. An amazing week away. Thank you

That view!

Our group of 2 adults, 4 kids and dog enjoyed the stay. The view is AMAZING and on the clear days we loved sitting out in the garden and eating our meals there. The home is near a charming pebble beach called Millook (15-20 min walk) and well situated to drive to Bude or Widemouth Bay quickly. It is literally on the coastal path which runs past the garden. We found the beach below the property too difficult to get to - a bit of a scramble down the cliffs and we never got all the way, but people without children / dog may be able to get down there. Do get insect repellent and fly strips as there were a lot of horseflies and flies around. We were a little worried about the parking but we got both our massive cars (Skoda estate and Alhambra People carrier) on the drive. You just need to be a reasonably competent driver and be prepared to take your time. You have to have clear expectations. If you expect it to be lavish, with WiFi, and to be essentially an urban or suburban house then you will be disappointed. If however you expect a basic rural cottage in a remote location but which is comfortable enough then you will be quite content. The property owner was attentive and communicative. We really enjoyed our stay and would definitely go back to Cancleave.
