Local Area
Marhamchurch
Guests staying at Court Farm cottages is very much part of Marhamchurch village life, set amongst the quaint cottages and houses of whitewashed stone which surround the village’s splendid historic church. It is within a few paces of the Village pub and within ten minutes you can enjoy a range of activities, 5 Blue Flag beaches, fishing (sea, lake or canal), golf, horse-riding, walks along the beautiful coastal paths, explore the countryside on foot or by bicycle, or visit the local town of Bude.
Northcott
Northcott Farmhouse is located in a secluded location, just 2 miles north of Bude on the North Cornwall Coast. Set in the heart of the Trewin family’s 400 acre estate, it gazes out across farmland, down a small valley to the stunning North Cornwall coastline.
A leisurely stroll along our private lane dissecting the crop fields leads you down to the lovely Northcott Mouth beach - it's pebbbles giving way to an expanse of sand at mid-low tide where you can swim, surf or just laze on the beach in the summer or discover it superbly quiet during the winter months. From Northcott Mouth beach you can walk the Atlantic heritage coast to to Sandymouth, a National Trust run beach, or if you are feeling extremely energetic onward to Duckpool. Walk in the other direction to the local seaside town of Bude with its two blue-flag awarded beaches.
The perfect retreat to get away from it all.
Bude
The local town of Bude (left) is only 10 minutes away by car, or by foot, from Marhamchurch along the picturesque canal path or from Northcott via the coastal footpath.
