Haven by name. Heaven by nature.

Located in a protected Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, Crackington Haven is a heavenly spot on the coast of North Cornwall, just one hour from Exeter and the M5. And eight miles from Bude. The still unspoiled Haven is set back in time and has changed surprisingly little in the last hundred years. With only two car parks, it never gets overcrowded.

The sandy and pebbly beach bustles with activity, enjoyed by locals, surfers and visitors alike. The RNLI watch over in the summer months.

Varied exhilarating walks are right on the doorstep - whether you fancy the cliffs, coastal paths, forests or quiet country lanes.

Eating out in the haven +

There is a great pub (just behind the house) called the Coombe Barton Inn that serves high-quality, locally sourced and seasonal ‘modern Cornish’ food. Their perfect Sunday roasts are highly recommended. It’s an easy commute! (Booking recommended.)

Either side of the main carpark are two fantastic cafes also offering delicious local produce. We recommend the fresh crab sandwiches, cakes and locally crafted gifts in the Haven Cafe and the pasties, cream teas or varied breakfast options in the Cabin Cafe.

Community-run Crackington Village Shop is up the hill in Higher Crackington and sells pretty much everything.

There are some brilliant local chefs for special occasion home-dining. Two of our favourites are Kit Davis (plenty of Michelin experience) and Celis Kitchen (Asian deliciousness.) We hear the Electric Bakery in Bude is well worth a visit.

We can also put you in touch with a completely Cornish concierge service run by a local chap who is brimming with ideas to help make the most of your stay.
