Cottage holiday rentals in Watergate Bay

We had a great stay in the house. Our group was 4 adults, 2 children and a dog and it was the perfect size for us all. The house was very comfortable and well equipped with everything we needed. The location was very peaceful and so quiet at night we all got great sleep. We visited Bude, Clovelly and Widemouth over our 4 day stay and it was perfectly located for them. Roger provided all the information we needed beforehand with guides to everything we could possibly need. He also responded to messages straightaway. The hot tub was a nice bonus and easy to use. We were lucky with the weather and enjoyed sitting in the garden. I can't think of anything that would have improved our stay, I would definitely love to return.

Absolutely loved our peaceful stay. Tracey and Mark were very attentive and friendly, truly went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. One of our highlights was the Italian themed delicious dinner cooked for us! Highly recommend to anyone wanting a mini spa break to switch off.

Had an absolutely perfect stay at Helen and Tim's peaceful cottage in Polperro. It was cosy, comfortable and just what we needed for a relaxing few days away. The hot tub was a particular highlight! Would definitely stay again!

We had a wonderful stay at Shaun’s cottage in Saint Newlyn East. The space was exactly as described — clean, cosy, and thoughtfully set up, with everything we needed for a comfortable stay as a small family. It was perfect for me, my wife, and our 5-month-old son. The location is peaceful and ideally situated for exploring the coast and nearby towns, yet still close enough to amenities when needed. Shaun was a responsive and helpful host, offering clear instructions and making us feel welcome from the start. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a quiet, charming base in Cornwall!

Our family of four had a great few days here. Absolutely beautiful setting and convenient to lots of places to see. Hot tub a real plus!! Great hosts as well

We had a lovely few days away in Nancy’s House and couldn’t fault it at all. There is everything you need in order to feel right at home as soon as you arrive. We really appreciated the wonderful home made cream tea that greeted us after many hours of travelling! We cooked in the house each night so can’t comment on local pubs etc as the whole purpose of our stay was for peace and quiet. It really is a peaceful haven, away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life with gorgeous views. We walked up on the hills and down to the hidden beach, both were beautiful. The fact that the whole farm, cottage included, is sustainable, and provides for itself, is truly impressive and a testament to the work that Lisa, Piers and team have put into creating it. Take some time to walk up to the willow labyrinth and appreciate the time and work that’s been invested in it - we’d love to see how it grows over the years! All in all a perfect few days away.

Accommodation was beautiful and perfectly clean, even more lovely than the photos would suggest! The cottage was situated in a peaceful location but within driving distance to main attractions. The amenities in the cottage were perfect for a cozy night in and hosts were quick to respond regarding any enquiries. The bed was extremely comfortable and with the sauna and hot tub we couldn’t decide if we should stay in and enjoy the accommodation or go out to explore Cornwall!

This was the second time we stayed here and we had such an incredible time. There’s a reasons we came back - it’s perfectly positioned with a short walk to the beautiful beach, and is a lovely property with such amazing spaces. The kids (and their mum) loved winding down in the hot tub and we enjoyed evenings around the fire pit. We can’t recommend it enough.

The cottage is simply gorgeous. It is cozy, stylish and most importantly spotless clean! The village is cute too, beautiful path to walk the dog, mine engine stacks add charm to the location and the cottage is on the hill so the view from the windows is beautiful. We loved that Catherine left necessities for breakfast in the fridge , it was very thoughtful and kind of her. Thank you for everything, we had a great stay

Had a great stay, lovely area, accommodation was perfect for us, would consider it again when visiting our favourite part of the world. Plus perfect host.

Came down for a family wedding nearby and location was perfect for us. The farmhouse was cozy, welcoming and spacious. The beds were comfy, so much so we all overslept on checkout morning. Facilities, especially in the kitchen were ideal for us. We would love to come again, next time for longer so we can explore the local area more thoroughly and probably with the dog who missed out this time. Thanks for having us to stay.

The cottage is in a lovely location with great views from one of the double bedrooms and the conservatory and driveway. It felt very homely with the fire very useful, comfy sofas, thick stone walls. Kitchen is a little small but has everything needed, and has a spacious dining area attached. Comfortably fits 6, even 7 with sofa bed, though the two single bed mattresses feel a bit old. It was at a discounted price however with some more work said to be needed. Lovely woodland walk on the doorstep and coast very close. Very quiet and peaceful. Didn’t find pre-warned damp much of an issue. Amy was helpful and attentive though being in a different time zone. Appreciated the private space. A good find.

Had such a wonderful time at the cottage. Very clear instructions on how to get to and into the property, it was spotless and Karen was always on hand via messaging to give any answers to any questions we had quickly and prompted. It's a beautiful property with so much character and comfortable beds in a stunning location. Cannot fault our experience and for the accommodation it was incredible value. Would definitely stay there again. Thank you Karen for such a wonderful stay!

We had a fantastic time at Jenny’s lovely cottage! Jenny is kind and helpful, and communicated throughout to make our stay as pleasant as possible. The cottage is beautifully decorated and the garden and location is a little peace of heaven. Small mishap with the cleaning at arrival, but quickly resolved with a very friendly housekeeper. Thank you so much for having us, we’ll be back soon!

A beautiful gem in a fabulous serene location near so many brilliant places in Cornwall. Perfectly furnished and thoughtful set up. Super helpful and friendly host - down to getting the bbq ready for us and being able to hose down wetsuits on site plus lots of great local recommendations - plus very quick responses and let us know we could check in early. Could not recommend enough (except to ensure there’s some availability next summer so we can return!). Exactly what we needed and such a stunning private garden too - ideal if you are bringing a furry friend. Many thanks and hope to be back soon

We had the most incredible time staying at Paradise Cottage; it truly lives up to its name. The cottage itself is absolutely beautiful: cosy and full of character. Every detail made it feel like a home away from home. The farm is just magical. Our boys were in heaven from the moment we arrived—free to explore, meet the animals, and enjoy the outdoors in a way that’s hard to find elsewhere. They’re already asking when we can go back! Sarah is the most wonderful host, so warm, welcoming, and thoughtful. Her whole family made us feel welcome. Her daughter is an amazing little girl—she took our boys under her wing, introducing them to the animals, letting them help feed and put them to bed. She’s so kind, caring, and naturally brilliant with children. When one of our boys was feeling under the weather, Sarah was incredibly understanding and caring, going out of her way to support us. We had the most wonderful time and can’t wait to go back! Thank you Sarah and Family!

Lovely place, very nice and responsive hosts, great stay overall, would recommend!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay - our second visit and perfectly situated for visiting our sister lives nearby. We loved the accommodation and found Maria and her husband to be on hand and very helpful. We will book again when next visiting Cornwall.

Such a calm place you have, the space you have is ample. Everything is provided so you don’t have to worry about anything. The grounds and gardens are stunning. I didn’t shut any blinds and left the door to the garden open through the night. Being woken by the birds singing at 5.30 felt nothing short of a blessing. Even heard the Cuckoo tapping away. I went down each morning and evening and had a chat with the chickens who always had something to say. Loved it, didn’t want to leave.

A lovely quiet place to stay. Lilac cottage is charming and clean, with very comfortable beds. The private garden to the cottage is a nice feature. The shared swimming pool was beautifully warm. The location of Court Farm suited us very well - a rural feel but a relatively short drive to Bude town centre and its beaches, or to Widemouth Bay coastline. We didn't go in but the pub opposite Court Farm was lively on the Friday night of our arrival (live music). It was, however, very quiet throughout the rest of our 5 night stay. Excellent communication all the way through from Court Farm Holidays!

This house is actually bigger and much nicer than it looks on the pictures. We would love to stay here over and over again!

I’ve used Air BnB quite a few times now in the UK and have never been let down so far, but I can easily say that River Cottage at Carbis Mill is the best stay I’ve ever had. The cottage is beautiful, clean, with every amenity you could want and feels very indulgent for two people. The outside space is very large and a real bonus. As a host, Adrian struck the balance of being always available but never being overbearing. Just brilliant from a warm and generous welcome to a fond farewell. I really can’t fault anything about it. This morning I was woken by traffic noise and went in my overlooked garden as a police or ambulance siren blared past. I wished I was back at River Cottage.

Very shortly after arriving I received a very warm welcome from Ian and Clare. I could park directly next to the cottage, which had a lovely secure & compact garden, so I knew the dogs were safe & sound. The well-maintained and good-sized paddock is brilliant for the dogs to have a quick runaround & chase the toys that can be borrowed from inside the well-equipped laundry room. Wren Cottage was pristine, with everything needed for a warm & comfortable stay. There are two very comfortable armchairs. There was always hot water and plenty of storage space in the kitchen. The dog biscuits & human treats were an unexpected and very welcome touch. The maps and local information package was very useful. The cottage is only a 10-15-min walk from the beautiful St Nectan's Glen, and a little further down the road, you can pick up the coast path & walk through Rocky Valley and into Tintagel. There is a shorter route to Tintagel if preferred. Boscastle & other places v accessible by car & bus.

Absolutely amazing time spent at Bumblebee cottage! Felt very cozy and relaxed and was very well stocked with everything we could need for our stay! There were even 2 big blankets in the living room for us to use! Julie & Mark were both lovely and very helpful (and meeting their two staffs made the visit even better! Such sweet and friendly pups!) Thank you again for having us! Would 100% recommend to anyone wanting to stay in that area!
