Tucked away down a wooded lane in a secluded valley by the sea, 'Little Marsland' is the perfect place to get away from it all. Little Marsland is a beautiful contemporary character cottage set in a Nature Reserve and designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, located at the end of the Tamara Coast to Coast Way and near to the South West Coast Path.

The cottage is spacious and light with a mixed contemporary-cottage character feel, with wooden floors, latch doors and high-speed wifi. The rooms are arranged on split-level, with the entrance porch and hall on the first floor and a beautiful modern large kitchen / dining area opening on to the garden. The kitchen is fully equipped including fridge freezer, washing machine, tumble dryer and bluetooth speaker. Ideal for family groups, there are 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. The bedrooms are arranged in pairs: 1 king size double, 1 twin on the upper floor together with a shower room and WC; plus 1 king size double and 1 twin on the ground floor with a separate shower room. There is an additional family bathroom with shower over bath and a WC on the first floor. A small flight of stairs takes you up to the open lounge with wood burning stove, large Velux style windows and beautiful views through the trees to the sea. This tranquil area offers smart TV and board games, with a door onto a small balcony where you can sit out at the level of the tree canopy.

There is parking for 2 cars outside the cottage with additional parking at the top of the wooded approach lane. Bed linen and towels, electric and cleaning are included as well as stairgate and travel cot if necessary. Superfast fibre broadband means that remote working is possible if required. Bookings are accepted Saturday to Saturday for minimum 7 nights stay.

Little Marsland welcomes well-behaved dogs and the garden is secure. No smoking is allowed anywhere in the property. The garden is a haven of wildlife and natural beauty, excellent for bird watching and relaxing .The cove and beach at Marsland Mouth is within walking distance, two good pubs only 2 miles away and nearest shop about 5 miles. The cottage approach lane is marked 'Unsuitable for Motors' and cars are able to get down the lane to the level of the cottage, but no further into the valley.

Directly from your door is the delightful half mile walk that leads to the pebble beach of Marsland Cove, where the footpath over the stream marks the Cornwall/Devon border, or within a short drive is a selection of superb sandy beaches with excellent surfing opportunities.

"Isolated but in a wonderful way - allowing us to explore through woods and steep and deep cliff paths that were teeming with butterflies and wild flowers. And the views from the cliff tops - wow! Little Marsland lacks nothing - a comfy family home with a gorgeous garden.” Joanna

"We loved the house and beautiful garden and stunning location. Definitely a place for people who love walking, the coastal path is awesome.” Susan

Perfect paradise

'My first impression was wow heaven and as I walked around the property it just got better and better. Little Marsland is a beautiful cottage set amongst a beautiful woodland peace and tranquility just the birds singing and the rustle of leaves a perfect place to relax. The cottage is equipped to a very high standard, well maintained and obviously loved by the owners as this comes across within the cottage and gardens which are lovely. Will definitely be going back and would recommend to all.' Sharon T.

My happy place ...

'This was our 3rd stay here. The property is beautiful, well kept and clean. It is well equipped with more than you'd ever need. The gardens are well established and well fenced for dogs. It is well out of the way without being too isolated, there are small shops in nearby Kilkhampton and bigger supermarkets etc within 30 mins in Bude. There is a beach within walking distance and access to some great walks inland and costal, it is really hilly in places so you get a good workout. There are also beaches within a short drive. The way the property is configured makes it ideal for 2 families or extended families to stay as there are 2 bedrooms and a bathroom upstairs and the same downstairs with the living room on the middle floor and a huge kitchen / diner / sunroom area to the side. We love it here it is so peaceful and relaxing. The owner is very friendly and helpful and replies to messages promptly. Would definitely recommend a stay here.'
