As you travel down the coastline, you can visit quaint coastal villages such as Boscastle, Tintagel and Port Isaac, the latter offering a range of fantastic restaurants where you can enjoy the freshest and most delicious fish.
Fifteen minutes up the coast is Bude, a popular tourist destination for both its surfing and fantastic family beaches in Widemouth Bay. The watchful eye of the RNLI lifeguards allows for some of the best surfing in the world alongside swimming and a whole host of water-based activities. Bude today is a lovely sea-side town, the main shopping streets and inter-connecting alleyways play host to a wide range of locally owned shops, restaurants and pubs. There are boutiques, shoes, arts & crafts, jewellery, hand-made gifts and souvenirs.
Six miles inland is Bodmin Moor, one of Cornwall's designated Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Cornwall at its wildest and rich in ancient history, Bodmin Moor stretches for 30 miles through the heart of the County of Cornwall and offers spectacular walking and horse riding.
With easy access to the both the A30 and the Atlantic Highway you can quickly travel up and down the South-West to enjoy some of the larger tourist attractions that Devon and Cornwall have to offer.

Rural Cornwall
Reviewed on 16/09/2021We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Barton Cottage. The peace and quiet and beauty of the area was much appreciated and enjoyed immensely. The kindness and thoughtfulness of the owner who met us on arrival was second to none! We were fortunate to enjoy a few days of good weather, the drive to the sea was straightforward, the coastal path was so easy to access and on the two evenings when the sea mist A?came inA? we lit and enjoyed the open fire. We loved Barton Cottage and hope to return soon.

Peaceful Cornish Retreat
Reviewed on 05/07/2021Our second stay at Barton Cottage. We love the peace and quiet here and stunning views from the neighbouring St Gennys churchyard. The cottage is well equipped and the little extras of washing up liquid and tea towels as well as good quality loo roll make all the difference. Recommend the walk over the hill down into Crackington Haven and the other way along the coastal path. The long sandy beach at Widemouth Bay (15 mins north) is well worth a visit.

Perfect escapism in a beautiful cottage
Reviewed on 05/10/2019We had a wonderful week in Barton Cottage. The cottage is in a breathtaking location and has a homely feel with every comfort provided. It is only a stoneA?s throw from the coast path and you can walk down to Crackington Haven in no time at all - a lovely beach with a great cafe. St Gennys church is beautiful with amazing views of the coast. There are so many lovely places to visit nearby: Bude, Boscastle, Tintagel to name but a few. Francis, the owner, is very helpful. We are looking forward to returning soon.

Reviewed on 08/08/2019We (4 adults) have spent a wonderfull week in Barton Cottage. The house is spacefull and offers all you need for a stay in rural surroundings. The costal path is nearby, the situation of the house is calm and peacefull. Crackington Haven with the beach and the Inn is not far. There ist new and comfortable furniture in the living room and the whole Cottage has a typical and 'romantic' atmosphere.

Reviewed on 26/10/2018We recently had two weeks perfect holiday at Barton Cottage in the most beautiful and peaceful situation just a ten minute drive from the nearest beach Crackington Haven or a 30 minute walk along the coast path down to the beach. The cottage is a very comfy character home with everything you need for a lovely holiday. The surrounding area is stunning fabulous beaches for surfing and swimming and dog walking and beautiful coastal walks. Hopefully we will be back with our dog for another lovely holiday next year.

An idyllic location
Reviewed on 17/10/2018We loved staying at Barton with our dog as the location is exceptional for a quiet break. Amazing walking right on the doorstop, a half hour walk to a little town with a gorgous beach (safe for swimming or surfing), pub, cafe, shop. We didnt need to get in the car the whole time we were there.

Our stay at Barton Cottage
Reviewed on 03/10/2018We spent a week at the beginning of September at Barton Cottage. Francis the owner was at the cottage when we arrived and was most helpful in showing us around the cottage and giving us local information. The cottage was as described in the website.. An ideal location for exploring North Cornwall.

An all round lovely holiday
Reviewed on 26/07/2018Barton Cottage is in a great location, with a sea view from the back bedroom. The cottage was comfortable and quite cool in the hot weather. The kitchen is well equipped. The garden is enclosed which was great for our little dog. The coastal path is almost opposite the cottage. The nearest pub is in Crackington Haven which is a 5 minute drive away, which also has a couple of cafes. The owner Francis is very pleasant & helpful. I would recommend this cottage & would happily book again.

Barton Cottage excellent value
Reviewed on 19/07/2018Barton Cottage was situated in lovely quiet location, with coastal walk just a few steps away. Lovely clean well kept cottage and the owner Francis Crocker was helpful and respectful of our privacy. We had our own private gated garden back and front and the cottage was well equipped although could have done with a full length mirror but certainly didn't spoil our stay by not having one. Kitchen equipment even had washing machine/dryer and bedding was of good quality and comfortable. Beautiful sea views from bedroom window. Good base for Crackington Haven with amazing pub and great food, Bude was 8 miles away and Wadebridge about half hour. Widemouth Bay local too. Would recommend coastal walk,breathtaking scenery . Lovely little church St Gennys Lovely old church just a few steps away.

A beautiful quiet location
Reviewed on 14/06/2018Barton Cottage was exactly what we were looking for: quiet and comfortable, in a beautiful location very close to the sea. We'd come to canoe, swim and walk and it was perfect for all three. Crackington Haven - a wonderful swimming beach - is an easy walk down the coast path (a bit of a puff back up, but fine) and in the first week of June it was sunny and peaceful there too. We cooked in most nights and though the kitchen is small, it's well equipped. We ate outside whenever we could and watched the swallows dipping into the little barn area beside us: this really is a wonderful place to recharge your batteries.

Barton Cottage
Reviewed on 20/04/2018Barton Cottage is a lovely cottage in a beautiful location. Being outside the main village, it is wonderfully quiet and peaceful with views of the sea. It is easily walkable to the beach at Crackington Haven - even with two small children - with the reward of a drink in the pub/ ice cream from the cafe when you get there. The cottage was very cosy and comfortable. We had a wonderful time.

A little sanctuary!
Reviewed on 30/03/2018Perfect spot for travelling out a very short distance to some fabulous places on the coast. Walks on the doorstep - quite steep, but worth it for the views. With a log fire we were so cosy we even bought a toasting fork too.(We had a blizzard:Bitterley cold wind and then got sunburnt! ) No mobile in cottage due to walls, but dine outside. Our host can't so enough for you. We had a lovely relaxing holiday.

An old cottage with bags of charm located in a quiet location
Reviewed on 03/07/2017An old cottage with bags of charm located in a quiet location. There was lots of bird life around the cottage, it is only a short walk to the cliff top costal path and a couple of pubs (with good food) are just a short drive away..
