About The Folly

The Folly is a gorgeous cottage in a peacefully rural location within easy reach of Bude, Widemouth Bay and other beautiful beaches on Cornwall's north coast. It is one of six stunning self-catering cottages on the Hele Barton Estate, but completely self-contained with no nearby neighbours, boasting a private garden of a third of an acre, a fire-pit and an outdoor hot tub, along with access to the estate's coarse fishing lake. The three-bedroom cottage sleeps up to six people and is perfect for families and friends.

North Cornwall is one of Britain's favourite holiday destinations because the landscape is just beautiful. The rolling countryside is incredibly fertile, which means the local produce is fantastic. Walking and cycling are popular all year round, especially with the breathtaking South West Coast Path giving easy access to panoramic views over the Atlantic. The north Cornish coast has a mix of sheltered harbours, vast beaches and rocky coves, so there is something for everyone, and watching the sunset over the ocean is a memory you'll hold close forever.

The Folly's rural position gives guests direct access to lovely walks through woodland and pastures where you may spot badgers and deer at sunset. The three coarse fishing ponds on the owner's estate are stocked with carp and tench and open from dusk until dawn 365 days a year, which makes the cottage perfect for keen anglers and an ideal spot to get away from it all. The estate's grounds are available for guests to use so pack a picnic and find a shady tree for the perfect day out.

The Folly is private and self-contained. The other cottages on Hele Barton Estate sleep between two and eight guests and are perfect for friends or extended family looking to holiday together - please see the owner's website for details.

Accommodation Comprises:

The Folly is a charming period cottage in a private setting that is not overlooked. It has recently been refurbished and offers accommodation over two levels.

Downstairs:

  • There's nowhere better to relax on a chilly winter's night than stretched out on one of the leather sofas in front of the wood burner in the living room. Windows overlook the garden and there's a Smart TV.
  • Cosy snug with an armchair with a small table for holding your glass of wine or cup of tea.
  • Fitted kitchen with high-quality appliances, granite worktops and a window seat. The owners have ensured the cupboards are stocked with cooking utensils and plenty of crockery and cutlery.

  • Double bedroom with a kingsize bed.
  • Third room with a single bed that has a pull-out trundle bed.

Outside: The Folly sits in a third of an acre of garden, much of which is level lawn that is perfect for running around and playing ball games. There is a fire-pit with granite roller seating, and an outdoor hot tub with the most amazing views - relax and watch the sunset over the Atlantic before star gazing. Plenty of off-street parking.

Additional information: There is room for a travel cot if you would like to bring your own. Beds will be made up for your arrival. All bed linen and cottage towels are provided.
