Description from owner
Description
Wideacres is a cosy semi detached cottage, with wide reaching superb sea and country views. Peacefully situated in a country lane abounding with wild flowers and only a five minute drive from Boscastle, There is a garden with a safe young children's play area with swings and slide.
The spectacular South West coast path and rolling countryside is on your doorstep - Enjoy the scenic path down the famous Valency valley to Boscastle and the exhilaration of the surfing sandy beaches of the North Cornish coast.
Often used as a television or film location, Boscastle provides some of the most dramatic rugged coastline in Europe. Take a boat trip out around Puffin Island, or even try your hand at catching mackerel for your supper!
In the village itself you can browse the antique and gift shops, the Craft Centre, the Witch's Museum, or eat out in one of the restaurants or three Pubs. Much of the harbour, the coastline and the Valency Valley are managed by the National Trust, and are designated an 'Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty'.
It is only an hour's drive from the M5 at Exeter, and is perfectly positioned for walking along the South West Coast Path and visiting the picturesque villages of the area including Tintagel and its castle ruins. There are plenty of sandy surfing beaches nearby where you can get surfing and kayaking tuition if you are feeling energetic! Alternatively, try hiking across Bodmin Moor, cycling the Camel Trail, horse riding, golf, rock climbing or sailing.
This is an ideal base from which to explore the whole of Cornwall, Dartmoor, and North Devon. Attractions to visit include: The Eden Project; Lanhydrock House; St Ives with the Tate Gallery (Tate St Ives) and numerous Cornish gardens to name just a few.
At any time of the year this is an ideal place for a holiday. In springtime you can enjoy the snowdrops, primroses, and bluebells in the woodlands and hedgerows; in the summer, laze on the beach and during the winter marvel at the magnificent sight of the Atlantic waves breaking whilst enjoying an invigorating walk before a drink or meal in front of the log fire, in one of the friendly local inns.
Peacefully situated on a small working farm in a country lane, the cottage is half a mile from Thomas Hardy's Church at St Juliot, yet only a mile from the South West Coastal Path, with stunning views.
Wideacres cottage is set in a lawned garden, which is a perfect sun-trap, with a shared childrens play area, swing and slide. It is one and a half miles from Boscastle, which can also be reached on foot through the scenic Valency Valley. Boscastle's attractions include the Witchcraft Museum and the picturesque medieval harbour.

“A wonderful stay”
The accommodation was clean, well equipped and very comfortable. The views of the sea and the surrounding fields were spectacular. The owners were very helpful and kind and our children loved the play area and green space, amongst the free range chickens, within the campsite directly next door. This accommodation is just a short drive outside Boscastle (a steep walk to the town is possible) and just up the road from the Boscastle Farm Shop. A wonderful stay and with all the many things to do in the local area, none of us wanted to leave!

“An amazing find in an amazing location.”
I would thoroughly recommend staying here to anyone looking to stay in the area. It is in the most peaceful location and wherever you look you are guaranteed an amazing view. Linda,Richard and their boys were very welcoming and accommodating and the house itself was immaculately clean and has everything you need for a self catering stay. Make sure you get down to the farm shop if you stay here, food and location are both sensational.Our family had a great time here and I am sure you would too.
