Please note: There is an unfenced river in the grounds.. Set in 70 acres of beautiful pastures leading to the Coombe Valley. As the name suggests, Sanctuary Farm Cottages provides a wonderful sanctuary in which to relax and unwind. Converted to a good standard, these four pretty barn conversions, built using authentic materials, retain plenty of character with vaulted ceilings, exposed stonework and oak wooden floors. The holiday cottages are set on a mixed working farm and have been individually decorated to provide an ambience of peace and tranquillity. Woods Close (ref 17381) is perfect for couples and has its own private balcony and sitting-out area boasting wonderful views. Apple Tree Cottage (ref 18512), Orchard Close (ref 17380) and April’s Cottage (ref UKC3384) are all ideal for couples. Each one different, they offer couples a relaxing retreat from the hustle and bustle of life. Guests are free to wander the woodlands and natural grounds or take the 1½ mile walk through woodland which leads to the sandy dog friendly beach at Duckpool.
There is a profusion of cliff, beach and moorland paths for walkers to enjoy - why not start with the coastline’s Heritage Trail. The cottages are ideally placed close to the spectacular National Trust Coastal Path, which boasts access to superb bays, beaches and coves. Tamar Lakes is just 6 miles where you will find coarse and trout fishing, sailing, wind surfing and canoeing. The pretty village of Kilkhampton with its beautiful church is just 1½ miles and offers two pubs, a supermarket, butchers and a good range of village shops and take-away food outlets. The pretty fishing villages of Port Isaac, Tintagel and Clovelly are close by and there are many National Trust properties in this stunning location. For family fun don’t miss the The Big Sheep and Milky Way Adventure Parks or for an adrenalin fuelled day for young and old why not try The Ultimate Adventure Centre or the North Devon Wake Park for water sports fun. Bude, 5 miles, has shops, pubs, restaurants and facilities for golf, swimming and ten pin bowling. There is horse riding in the village and there are four golf courses within a 30-minute drive, including the Ivyleaf Golf Course which is just 3 miles away. Beach 1½ miles. Shop and pub 1½ miles.

My husband and I came to stay in the cottage for 3 nights with our Lab. We loved it! Friendly owners and wonderful walks right out of the door. The only criticism we had was that there was no WiFi and literally no phone signal for several miles around. It wasn’t a big deal, but I think WiFi would be a plus. That being said, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay! Review independently collected and verified by Reevoo

I cannot praise this family and their beautiful cottage enough! We visited a couple of years ago and booked for this year and was so thankful we was able to go after what has been a disastrous year. The owners are the nicest people I have ever met and the cottages and views are just stunning. I did not want to leave! Our dogs loved every minute of it and have now got the holiday blues just like me. The kitchen is well equipped and the bathroom is beautiful and clean, and the bed is so comfy I now don’t want to sleep in my own at home! Plus it really is the darkest most peacefullest room EVER for a good night sleep! Endless walks nearby and lots of dog friendly beaches close by, one is only just under 2 mile walk. Shops and takeaways only 5-10 min drive. We will always come back hear now as it is pure heaven. And the fact that the owners are just so nice And welcoming but also leave you be all week is just a cherry on top! Speaking of cake we even had home made scones and cream waiting for us! Its much better than any of those commercial holiday rentals, this is a very personal hidden gem with lots of character, you would never even know it was there! Please don’t ever change!

We stayed in Apple tree cottage for 10 days, it was perfect and we had the best time! The cottage was clean and cosy and had everything we needed. The owner was very welcoming and left a cream tea on arrival. The location was great, right out the way so very quiet and peaceful, the road to the cottage is a narrow lane, then goes onto to a track, so was quite bumpy, but it was worth it!

This was a great base with so many beaches close by. Not for people who want to stare at phones. Good pubs and shops all sound and dog friendly. We will be staying again.

A lovely cottage in superb farm-based location.

A lovely cottage in superb farm-based location. Very friendly welcome. Comfortable bed with clean linen and towels. Quite remote which is fantastic as an escape and some excellent walks through woodlands and local costal paths. Beautiful beaches when tide is out with walks all the way to Bude on golden sand (tide come in quickly so be wary of tide times). We had our dog who also really enjoyed her holiday; Apple Tree Cottage is on a working farm and dogs need to be kept on a lead. There are outdoor facilities which were great, but you would need to keep the dog on a lead. We would definitely recommend this cottage and the friendly owner to someone looking for a bit of an escape from the chaos of the town. No internet - this was brilliant as was the poor mobile signal. This just improved the ability to switch off and enjoy a well deserved holiday without being distracted.

Cottage is lovely, set in beautiful countryside and the owners are very friendly.

Cottage is lovely, set in beautiful countryside and the owners are very friendly. One problem is access to the place, it is called Sanctuary Farm for a reason. From the village you have to travel down a narrow winding lane and then turn up a long narrow track to the farm. Not the most comfortable journey when you are hoping that you wont meet someone/thing coming the other way. All the reviews comment on the beauty of the place which I agree with but I must admit that I didn't expect 'the long drive' to the cottage to be so trying, more fitting for a SUV or a Land Rover. Would I go back, not really which is no reflection on the place or the owners, just not what I expected.

A wonderful warm welcome to a lovely cottage in a fantastic location in a wooded valley on a working farm. We had a wonderfully peaceful stay. No signal, which was no problem for us. Many lovely walks from the doorstep. An abundance of wildlife. Very friendly hosts. Only downside was no enclosed space/garden for just letting the dogs for a wee, but there is a public footpath right on the doorstep. Would not put me off booking this again however, purely for the location.

This was my second time in the cottage.

This was my second time in the cottage. It’s very private with stunning scenery. I will be booking again . It’s a perfect place to escape the hustle and bustle of town life . Due to the time of year most tourist places were closed . But if you just want to relax it’s the place to go . Good facilities. The best bit is there’s no signal so mobiles phones are very limited. It’s great for dog walking . Just one thing the family who own the cottages are very friendly
