Just 10 miles away lies the charming seaside town of Bude, known for its iconic Sea Pool and sun-drenched beaches.

This is the third time we have stayed in this wonderful old school house, Francis. The sea, the fantastic coast paths and acceptable British weather made it feel like home!

We really enjoyed our stay at Francis Cottage. The view of the coast was amazing, and you could walk from the cottage right out onto the cliffs. Crackington Haven bay itself was also lovely and had a pub and a couple of cafes to relax in. The cottage was very well presented and had everything we needed. We would definitely consider going back.

Perfect cottage for a quiet week away on the beautiful Cornish coast with sea views from the breakfast table. Coastal walks direct from the cottage and close enough to places like Boscastle, Tintagel and Bude for evenings out. Cottage was clean, well equipped, with adequate parking and very friendly and helpful owners.
