About this property

Stunning luxury cliff top retreat - direct access to the South West Coast Path.

Cancleave has been in the family since 1962. During the winter of 2020/21 it underwent a complete knockdown and rebuild to create a modern, energy efficient and comfortable property.

Cancleave is situated in beautiful North Cornwall, on the coast road between Crackington Haven and Widemouth Bay. With a large lawned garden bordering the South West Coast Path, it commands extensive views across Bude Bay.

The property lies within the North Cornwall designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty as well as the Boscastle to Widemouth SSSI (Site of Special Scientific Interest). Nearby Widemouth Bay, Bude and Crackington Haven beaches are all patrolled by RNLI lifeguards on a seasonal basis, as are many of the other beaches in the area.
It makes a great base to expolore the many attractions and delights that North Cornwall has to offer. From the coast path outside the gate, the numerous picturesque coastal villages, nearby Bodmin Moor and the highly acclaimed Eden Project slightly further afield, there is something for everyone.

The attractions are too numerous to list and the best bit is exploring for yourself.

Wonderful and memorable week
Location could not be better. Quite and picturesque. The house is well designed, with a well equipped kitchen and all other necessary accessories. A few suggestions if the manager could accommodate; Provide a Nespresso machine, which is not too costly and provide specs so guests can bring their own Nespresso pods. Instal a short fence or plant some shrubs in front of the septic tank to block the view from the bedroom windows.

Cancleave is the most fabulous place to stay. The location is incredible with wraparound lawns ideal for families and four legged friends. The views and sunsets beautiful. The house itself is brilliantly furnished, extremely comfy and equipped perfectly. The area has so much to do, all within an easy distance, loads of beaches and great places to eat and drink. Didn’t want to leave!

Stunning location
We booked this property much earlier this year as a venue for a 50th birthday gathering for friends and family. It was ideal. The facilities for the various combinations of people was fantastic. The house itself is stunning, the location is amazing, and everyone had a wonderful time.

About the host

Hosted by Patrick Cummins

Host profile image
I've lived in Crackington Haven, North Cornwall since the age of 3 apart from a period of time working away and overseas. I met my wife in Hong Kong in 1998 and since moving back permanently in 2004 we have been running Cancleave.
My mother purchased Cancleave in 1962 as a timber framed building.
Over the years Cancleave has been extended and improved but for a few years we have had a dream to redevelop it. After much wrangling with the planners work on the 'All New Cancleave' began in October 2020 and on 12th June 2021 we welcomed the first guests to the new property. The new construction is incredibly well insulated, energy efficient and comfortable and really makes the most of the stunning location.
Having grown up in the area I have a love of surfing, the beaches and walking the coast paths. Each season brings its own beauty and characteristics from balmy June days with seemingly endless daylight hours to dark stormy winter days which can be incredible to witness.

Why they chose this property

The redeveloped Cancleave is a beautifully modern and functional space. It is such a unique location and the new build really makes the most of the incredible surroundings.

The building has been designed to sit into the surrounding environment with the minimum of impact.

The modern construction benefits from exceptional insulation properties, underfloor heating from an air source heat pump and solar pv panels generating electricity on the roof.

The modern and spacious kitchen has been commended by many of our guests. Combined with the open plan living and dining area it provides a great space socialise and relax at any time of the day. It truly is the hub of the house.

What makes this property unique

The property is in a truly unique location bordering the South West Coast path. Situated on its own between Crackington Haven and Widemouth Bay it commands extensive views across Bude Bay, all the way to Lundy Island on clear days.

The large garden provides the perfect space for relaxing and watching the sun go down.
