About this property
This detached house overlooking the sea is located ½ mile from Welcombe hamlet and ¾ mile by footpath from the beach at Welcombe Mouth. Smart and comfortable, it is lovely peaceful accommodation for enjoying the tranquillity or walking the coast. In the sitting room your attention will be divided between the cosy flickering wood burning stove and the view over the well planted garden. The spacious dining room doubles as a second sitting room with its comfy seating and glass garden doors, a welcoming room for enjoying family meals prepared in your smart kitchen with snug Rayburn and sofa for chatting to the cook over an evening drink. Head upstairs and you will find the four bedrooms with steps between levels. The three double bedrooms all enjoy great sea views. The enclosed garden surrounds the house, with a patio for family barbecues, a grassy area for games and a view of the sea. When not occupied by animals, you are welcome to wander the adjoining field with its unfenced pond. From the house a hedgerow lane leads down to the Coast Path and from there to the beach, but it is best tackled with a good level of fitness and not too much gear. An easier footpath takes you across fields to the excellent village pub, where you will need to have a torch if you are heading home after dark. The beach at Welcombe Mouth is a great place to head to for surfing or to chill out and admire the surrounding cliff scenery. Bude is another brilliant place for surfing or traditional seaside fun. Walk the Coast Path for more good views, as far as Hartland or to spot a variety of birds en route. In a quiet, private spot, Ley Park is a charming house for enjoying unspoiled scenery and peace.
A pretty country village just one mile from the high cliffs, rocky coves and golden sands of the north Devon/Cornwall coast, as well as the beach at Welcombe Mouth with its sand, rocks, and some fabulous waves to ride

Ley Park was a real house of contrasts for us: Downstairs - We couldn't ask for more. The kitchen and utility room - Good quality appliances and plenty of good quality equipment. The garden room was nice and airy and the cosy living room with log burner, very welcome. Upstairs - The bedroom were generally fine, although no one room had everything that you need to be comfortable for a weeks stay. Some of the matrasses were tired, so we opted for both the en-suite bedrooms. En-suites were far to small for us, had no storages and one had mould around the shower tray. Plus the water pressure would only allow one shower at a time. So we all decided it would most comfortable using the larger family bathroom. The family bathroom was a real let down. Very old green bath and wash basin odd toilet and ill fitting lino on the floor. It was functional, but really not somewhere we would want to spend any time e.g. to take a long bath and a real contract to the quality and finish of the kitchen - a real shame. The house was warm and generally clean on first sight, but on closer inspection, skirting boards, wndowsills, door frames, rooms corners, had obviously not been cleaned for some time, based on the level of dirt and dust. Flies - When we arrived at Ley Park we were surprised at the number of dead flies on windowsills and on the floor, especially in the attic room and front bedroom. I opened the velux window in the attic room one morning and the whole room filled with black house flies. It was quite alarming! We did managed to get rid of them throughout the day, but hovering up over 40 flies was not what I would expect to be doing. There after, I had to regularly hover up around flies from the bedrooms. Speaking to Chris the Caretaker, he told me that this was a known problem in the Autumn months. Caretaker - Chris the caretake was great. Very helpful and came out very quickly when we reported the washing machine and tumble dryer where flashing up error messages. The additional logs, bottle of wine and apple juice were very welcome and a really nice touch. I am sorry the I have not been able to me more positive. Ley Park is a lovely house an has the potential to be perfect, but for us it is just not there.

This is our third stay at this property and we have loved every minute. The house is very well equipped with plenty of pots. pans and cutlery. The outside space is huge and great for sitting out and relaxing. We had lovely days out at Summerlaze beach and Tintagel and were very lucky with the weather. The only downside is that it doesn't look as though the property can be booked next year.
