Northcott View

Northcott View is a one-bedroom cottage on Halls Farm near Poughill, about a mile north of Bude, sleeping 2. The layout is distinctive: a mezzanine bedroom sits above a ground-floor bathroom fitted with a freestanding bath and a separate walk-in shower - details that set it apart from standard one-bed cottages in the area.

The cottage has an enclosed garden and off-road parking. Wi-Fi is included. No hot tub and no open fire, so the feel is quieter and simpler than its neighbour Northcott Hut on the same farm. The rural position means open countryside views and minimal noise. Changeover is Saturday.

Three National Trust beaches lie within 3km. Sandymouth Beach is 2.2km - dark sand, layered rock formations, and a seasonal cafe above the dunes. Northcott Mouth Beach sits at 2.7km, Duckpool at 2.9km. The South West Coast Path connects them along exposed clifftops. Bude town centre - with supermarkets, cafes, and the sea pool at Summerleaze - is a 10-minute drive south.

Best for couples who want a quiet rural retreat with considered interior details and quick beach access. Less suited to those looking for hot tub facilities or dog-friendly accommodation - the property does not accept pets.
