Bay Tree is a beautiful, detached bungalow situated in a rural location near the coastal village of Crackington Haven, in an area of outstanding natural beauty. Bay tree has been recently refurbished and furnished to a high standard throughout, making for a peaceful yet practical holiday accommodation for guests to enjoy.
Arriving at the property, beyond the white wooden gates there is ample space for parking two cars on the gravel driveway. The main front door is to the left side of the house and on entering guests find themselves in the enclosed porch, a great space for taking off and storing coats and shoes as well as providing access to the rear garden. This area then leads into the well-equipped kitchen with a door leading to a separate toilet and utility room housing the washing machine. The spacious open plan living/dining room is accessed via the kitchen and with plenty of seating, Smart TV and wood burner, this is a fantastic place to relax and unwind at the end of a long day out. From the living area double doors lead into the master bedroom which has a 6ft 3in long super kingsize bed with zip and link flexibility, so can be separated into two single beds on request. This room is bright and airy, as are all of the rooms at Bay Tree and benefits from an en-suite bathroom with bath and shower attachment.
From the master bedroom guests can access both the front garden with pleasant patio and seating area next to the parking area, as well as the rear garden. A second smaller bedroom is accessed off the lounge with kingsize bed, en-suite shower room and a sliding door leading out onto the rear garden. In-between this bedroom and the master bedroom there is a useful office space, whether guests are looking to catch up some work while away or just sit down and plan the adventures ahead. The office area also leads out onto the rear garden.
The best way to describe the rear garden is as tranquil, as this lovely area feels secluded with a variety of shrubs, bushes and trees surrounding the perimeter. There is a patio area closest to the property with dining table and chair seating for some al-fresco breakfasts or a late-night bottle of wine and cheese board and the rest of the garden is lawned.
The compact third bedroom is to be found in a separate annexe very close to the house with its own private entrance from the garden. A sliding patio door leads into the bedroom containing a double bed and an en-suite walk in shower room. This set-up works very well for guests that may want a bit of extra privacy from the main house, while still being just steps away. There is a door on the far end of the ‘annexe’ for guests to access a storage room containing tumble drier, deck chairs etc.
There is so much for guests to see and do nearby, Crackington Haven beach lies at the bottom of the hill being just a 5 minute drive away, with Boscastle, Tintagel and Bude all within easy driving distance. Whatever the reason for visiting the area, Bay Tree is a fantastic place to start.

6 of us stayed at Bay Tree, one of the best equipped holiday cottages we have rented as a group, Julie had left a lovely welcome bag, with we really enjoyed, we had a lovely stay and would highly recommend. 😁😁 you would need a car, but not far to drive to lots of beautiful beaches and towns , Bude, Boscastle, nice pub only a couple of miles away for Sunday Roast.

Bay Tree was ideal for our needs. As an older group of 4 it was ideal to find a bungalow and 3 en-suite rooms. It was well equipped, we used the showers which were good but not the bath. Beds were very comfortable. Kitchen well equipped and the washer/dryer was useful. If like 2 of us you prefer coffee there is a cafeteria there which was ideal. We didn’t use the outdoor facilities. The property is within easy access of a number of interesting villages, farm shops and towns. Would return
