St. Gennys is a small cluster of traditional Cornish buildings, set high on a hill above Crackington Haven, with breathtaking views of the North Cornish coastline. The hamlet lies between Bude and Boscastle, an area of great natural beauty, which has remained unspoilt and yet is the nearest stretch of Cornish Coast to London and the Midlands, being only four and a half hours by road. It offers both safe bathing and sands for small children, as well as excellent surfing.

Nearby are the attractive harbour and quaint old street of Boscastle, the old market town of Launceston and its castle, the space and beauty of Bodmin Moor and the sandy estuary of the River Camel with sailing and other activities. There are National Trust properties within easy reach; golf can be played at Bude, Holsworthy, and Launceston. Riding is available on the moor, or under cover at Tall Trees Stables, Davidstow. The Camel Trail offers excellent cycling, with bikes for hire.

Churchtown Cottages

are a small group of holiday homes, converted from the ancient manor house of St. Gennys and its farm buildings, close to the twelfth century parish church. Set amongst fields and hedgerows, and bordering National Trust land, there are panoramic sea views which extend out to Bude Bay, Lundy Island and the Atlantic.

The cottages have been sympathetically renovated and are tastefully furnished. They were converted from an old granite barn and all rooms in both cottages look over the field to the sea. Raddons sleeps 6 (one double room, one twin room and a bunk room). Wharrastone (suitable for disabled and wheelchair users) sleeps 4 (one twin and one double). The cottages have a lawned garden and a paved terrace area and picnic table. They are well equipped with comfortable sofas, colour TVs and stone fireplaces. Each kitchen has a refrigerator, electric cooker, ironing equipment etc. Central heating is included in the cottage rental in the colder months, also coal and logs.

All bedlinen is included. Cots, mattresses (no bedding) and high chairs may also be supplied at no extra cost. Electricity supply is by £1 coin meter. A laundry room with washing machine, dryer and BT payphone is available for the exclusive use of guests to the two cottages. Ample free parking is provided, and dogs are welcome for an extra charge in Wharrastone.

The nearest shop is a good village store at Wainhouse Corner , with an off-licence, Post Office and petrol station. The main shopping area is Bude, about 9 miles away, with a large gateway, Safeways, Boots etc.

To eat out  There are some good pubs and restaurants in the vicinity and an excellent family pub by the beach as well as two cafes.

Beaches are close by. Crackington Haven beach, a 10 minute walk on the Coast Path from the cottages, is sandy with rocks and pools at low tide. Widemouth Bay is a vast expanse of sand and plenty of beachside parking. Bude has several good sandy bays and an indoor swimming pool. There is a tennis court at Crackington Haven.
