LOCATION
& AMENITIES
There are many excellent beaches nearby. Welcombe Mouth Beach
is within walking distance (20 mins) or is accessible by car (3/4
mile). It has a waterfall, rock pools and lots of sand at low
tide. Washed by the Atlantic twice a day, it is a very clean beach.
Experienced surfers seek out this beach, swimming and bodyboarding
are enjoyed by all. We have body boards for hire at a very modest
daily rate. Some of Cornwalls best beaches, Sandy Mouth,
Crooklets, Summerleaze and Widemouth Bay are within easy driving
distance.
The spectacular scenery around Welcombe makes it the perfect venue
for those who enjoy coast and country walks. Berry Park borders
the Marsland Valley which is a site of special scientific interest
(SSSI) and an officially designated area of outstanding natural
beauty. It is home to much rare wildlife including red deer, otters
and buzzards. Numerous wild flowers abound, especially in the
springtime when bluebells carpet the woods and it becomes hard
to believe that orchids are rare. In autumn the area produces
a rich variety of mushrooms and toadstools.
There are many excellent tourist attractions, for both children
and adults in the area. The Milky Way, The Big Sheep, Killarney
Springs, and Pixieland all provide popular family days out. For
those who enjoy sports, there is a choice of indoor swimming pools,
golf courses, horse riding, tennis and squash within easy driving
distance. Water sports and fishing are available at various places
along the coast as well as at the Tamar Lakes. The famous fishing
village of Clovelly is a short drive away and day trips to the
island of Lundy are available from there.
In addition to the diversity of its landscape, the area
also plays host to a wonderful selection of fine gardens, RHS
Rosemoor is 45 mins drive away and a visit can be combined with
a trip to the Dartington Crystal Glass Factory. Other gardens
nearby are at Hartland Abbey, Clovelly Court, Docton Mill, Tapeley
Park and Marwood Hill.
Lettings are usually Saturday to
Saturday but short breaks and midweek bookings can be arranged
in the low season.
