Book

Jasmine, at Valley View Cottages, is a gorgeous farm barn conversion which has been sympathetically refurbished, retaining the natural stone, exposed beams and historic ironwork and finished to a high-end standard. Set in a prime location, with a stunning view from the outside area along the pretty valley towards Duckpool, you can enjoy the sunsets surrounded by beautiful established trees, flora and fauna, with birdsong chorus to greet you in the morning. All the rooms are spacious, including the living space, with patio doors leading out onto the enclosed, paved outside area, which creates the perfect country living vibe, both inside and out. The ample sized bathroom has a super bath and separate shower to soak, refresh and renew after your adventures.

Jasmine at Valley View Cottages is one of two delightful farm barn conversions, perfectly located for walkers, yet easily accessible to the village of Kilkhampton and the Atlantic Highway, which is the main vein for touring this area of outstanding natural beauty. You can hook into one of the many footpaths close by and follow the river through the stunning valley, which can be viewed from your own private and enclosed outside area. Amble along the pretty countryside towards Stowe Woods, through an ancient settlement, emerging at Coombe Valley, where you will find the unique cove Duckpool. Here you can join the South West Coastal path where you can venture north towards Higher Sharpnose Point, into Hawker country, or head south towards Bude and enjoy a refreshing dip in the natural sea pool. Jasmine at Valley View Cottages is the perfect hub from which you can let your days evolve.

We received a lovely welcome from our host Lucy and spent a fantastic week at this cottage set in a very rural location. Night time provides complete darkness & total peace & quiet, which is perfect for both star gazing and relaxation. The cottage was decorated to a high standard with a modern & uncluttered feel, but also managed to feel cosy. The whole property was extremely clean, especially the kitchen, which was a pleasure to cook in, with lots of equipment to use & the convenience of a small dishwasher. There is a television in both the kitchen & bedroom. The bathroom was decorated to a very high standard, with a lovely rainforest shower & a large bath, perfect after a days walking. The outside patio provided everything needed to eat alfresco, although the weather was not that kind to us. The patio looked out over a field with sheep in, down the valley toward the west for sunsets on a clear evening. The parking was right outside the front door to transfer luggage easily. The location was very convenient for sighteeing in North Cornwall & also up to Clovelly in Devon. We especially loved Sandymouth Beach, which when the tide is out is a fantastic large sandy beach for walking and the cafe is really good too.

We had a great time at Jasmine Cottage. The cottage is sufficiently large, even for someone in a wheelchair. The interior is complete and nicely decorated. It's cozy and very clean. The cottage is quietly located and offers a lot of privacy. The hostess is friendly and happy to give tips about places of interest in the area.

Holidays in Morwenstow

Situated six miles north of Bude, Morwenstow presents the kind of shipwrecking rugged coastline and dramatic rural landscapes that make you want to escape. The parish sits in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and is the most northerly in Cornwall, located just two miles short of the Devon border and perfectly positioned to afford a wonderful end-of-the-road sense of seclusion.

Combining country and coastal living, Morwenstow is the perfect place to relax and unwind. Pack your walking boots and spend your days rambling through the countryside, and along the South West Coast Path. 

Morwenstow Parish Church is of significant historical interest. Dating back to Norman times, with some believing a Saxon church once stood in its place, this incredible building forms the heart of Morwenstow.

 

Did you know...

Morwenstow was home to vicar Robert Hawker who created the Harvest Festival tradition?

Walks

A rambler's paradise, Morwenstow and the surrounding area are replete with routes across a variety of scenic landscapes, from the craggy coastline, to woodlands and Valleys. 

Walk the South West Coast Path

Arguably one of the most spectacular walks in the county, the coast path offers the chance to ramble along a well-trodden path, while soaking up the spectacular sights and breathing in the fresh sea air. Head in the direction of Bude for a sight of the clifftop satellites of GCHQ Bude, an unexpected view amid the beauty of the cliffs. 

Circular Valley

This circular walk gives you the chance to fully appreciate just why Robert Hawker loved the area so much. Beginning at the Rectory Farm Tea Rooms, head into the churchyard, following the path to the right past the vicarage and down into Morwenna Valley. Turn left at the way marker sign for the coast path following along the length of the valley, through meadows and woods, until you reach Vicarage Cliff and the coast path. Upon joining the coast path, turn left and ascend the cliff to the farmland above. Soon you’ll come across a kissing gate, at this point you can either continue on towards Hawker’s Hut, or return to the Rectory Farm Tea Rooms for a cuppa and a slice of cake!

Why not finish off your day of walking with a homecooked meal at the local 13th Century pub, The Bush Inn

Beaches

No visit to Cornwall is complete without a trip to the beach, regardless of the time of year you visit. Just south along the coast of Morwenstow are several stunning beaches.

Sandymouth beach

Situated between Morwenstow and the popular seaside town of Bude, this National Trust beach is a popular choice for a day at the beach, while remaining quieter than the busier beaches at Bude. Dog-friendly year-round, and with seasonal lifeguards, it’s ideal for families, surfers, rock poolers, and dog-walkers alike. When the tide is out, the sand stretches for two miles along the dramatic cliffs, exposing a shipwreck buried in the sand. 

Duckpool beach

Beautifully wild and remote, this National Trust pebbly cove can be found at the base of Coombe Valley. At low tide, the cove reveals an expanse of far-stretching sand dotted with rock pools. Though not suitable for swimming, families can enjoy a day building sandcastles, rock pooling, fossil-hunting, and beachcombing. Dogs are welcome all year round, so it’s the perfect spot for letting your four-legged friends have fun in the sand!

Northcott Mouth Beach

This unassuming small cove reveals a large rocky beach as the tide drops, exposing the remains of the SS Belum, wrecked in 1917. Another National Trust-owned beach, this stunning beach is backed by 300 million-year-old cliffs. While surfers will delight in the waves created by the rocky reefs, children can enjoy rock pooling and playing in the stream that runs down the beach. Dogs welcome all year and lifeguards patrolling during the summer.

Places of interest

Set amidst the beautiful countryside, but also close to the coast, there are so many places to explore in the area, from hidden huts to shipwrecks in the sand.

Hawker’s Hut

Robert Hawker, the parish vicar, who created Cornwall's 'Trelawney' anthem and England's harvest festival tradition (which is celebrated here with aplomb), enjoyed spending time in his favoured spot on the clifftop, where he built his own small hut.

Visit Hawker’s diminutive driftwood dwelling nestled in the cliffs below his old vicarage – another must-see that features hand-built chimneys replicating the church towers he treasured throughout his life.

Morwenstow Church

A marvel of architecture, this historic church houses a range of fine carvings, tomb chests, memorials and stained glass windows; while in the graveyard lies dozens of smugglers and mariners - look out for the white figurehead of the Caledonia: the gravestone of a shipwrecked captain.

Henna Cliff

One of the best vantage points in the area affords spectacular seascapes where, standing atop Cornwall’s highest cliff at 144 metres, you can gain a bird’s eye view of Lundy Island and the distant south Wales coast.

Cottage was beautiful, very comfortable to stay in. Well equipt and extremely quiet.

Superb and extremely comfortable base, from which to explore this spectacular stretch of coastline. Amenities and places of interest locally are excellent. Everything spotless and equipped to the highest standard. A lovely private space in which to wind down in peace and tranquillity with a gorgeous view and stunning sunsets a real treat. Hope to return and won’t hesitate to recommend.

From the moment we arrived to the day we left, everything was perfect! Lucy our host was so welcoming and provided us with lots of useful information about places to visit. The walk to Duckpool Beach was fabulous! The local pub, The New Inn served amazing food. A big thank you to Lucy for her kindness, attentiveness and for the stunning accommodation and also the treats on arrival! The cottage was beautiful, clean and modern. We had a wonderful 4 days, some lovely walks, cream teas, pasties and peace and quiet. We would highly recommend Valley View Cottages. It is in an idyllic location. Perfect for relaxing, walking the South West Coast path and star gazing.

Thank you so much Lucy for your warm welcome and being helpful with the area as our first time in Bude. Your cottages are a credit to you, so clean, warm and modern. We enjoyed walking from the farm and the peace and quiet. Leaving starter bits and treats for us was much appreciated, as we did not know where the nearest shop was and the narrow lanes are a bit hair raising!! We hope to return soon as we loved this bolthole for two.

Everything was perfect! Jasmine was beautifully furnished with everything we could have needed. The little touches from Lucy such as our treats of cake and fudge, some milk and dishwasher tablets were very much appreciated. The outside space was lovely although storm Noah stopped us from using it, but in the summer it will be wonderful to have. It was lovely to meet Lucy and she was very accommodating with tips on where was good to eat locally. All in all a fabulous break and we will be recommending Valley View Cottages to our friends and family.

Beautiful cottage with everything you need for a relaxed comfortable stay. Spotlessly clean throughout. Fantastic views down the valley to duck pool with amazing sunsets. Lucy was very warm and welcoming with extensive local knowledge which only made our stay even better, location is fantastic far enough away for complete peace and quiet but close enough to the coastal walks, shops and beaches, can’t wait to stay again Many thanks to Lucy for a wonderful stay. Pete and Claire

Stunning location , brilliant walking and great hosts

We booked Jasmine for a celebration get away for our anniversary. The accommodation was in a lovely quiet location and perfect for some beautiful walks. It was immaculately clean and well equipped. Lucy, the host, was friendly and welcoming and generous with her local knowledge of places to dine and walk to. We look forward to revisiting to continue our exploring of the local area.

A very enjoyable, relaxing week with beautiful walks from the doorstep. A lovely & very comfortable cottage which is converted to a very high standard. A nice outside space overlooking fields with some beautiful sunsets! Bude is a short drive away, with further walks, some lovely beaches & restaurants. Thank-you for a relaxing & peaceful time.

A lovely comfortable cottage with everything we needed. The property was spotless and very well equipped. The outside space was quiet and private and we used it as often as the weather allowed.

Very clean and well appointed accommodation with beautiful views, we had Swallows and Swifts zooming all around the sky and Buzzards circling the fields with Owls hooting through the evening and clear starry skies overhead (on some nights!) with direct access to beautiful country walks. Great place.

Another excellent property found through Aspects. Cottage was just as expected & ideal for a short break for couples. Very clean & well equipped with a lovely patio overlooking fields where you can watch the sun go down. A great walk through the woods down to Duckpool beach & a short drive to Bude for more beaches & restaurants. Thank you for a great few days.

Thoroughly enjoyed our short break at Jasmine Cottage. A warm welcome, spotlessly clean and well equipped. Perfect for exploring the area by car or walking. A beautiful and peaceful location to escape from it all and wouldn’t hesitate to book again.

We enjoyed a great week staying in Jasmine Cottage, the weather was very kind to us for April. The cottage has been renovated to a very high standard and has everything you need for a comfortable stay. Spotlessly clean throughout. There are lovely views of the surrounding countryside plus great walks from the farm through the woods and down to the coast path. We wouldn’t hesitate to book again.

We really enjoyed our short break at Jasmine - Valley View Cottages. It was a perfect and peaceful base for exploring beautiful local beaches, walking foot paths from the property and for hiking the South West Coast Path. We loved relaxing at the property at the end of a day of walking and also sitting outside and enjoying sunset views, stargazing and watching the local lambs. Jasmine was comfortable, warm and well equipped with everything we needed for our break, the owners were friendly and generous with their local knowledge. We wouldn't hesitate to return when we are next in the area.

Amazing cottage everything we needed for a fabulous week, very relaxing break! Lovely welcome from the host, extremely comfortable, fantastic views (which included new born lambs), high standard of finish on the conversion, fully equipped, pristine, very well decorated and furnished. All cooking equipment we needed was provided and there was lots we didn't get a chance to use. This is only our second stay in an Aspects cottage, and again, it was a pleasure to stay in. Ideal for a couple to get away from it all as it is in a quiet spot, which is a short drive from local shops, Bude and the Atlantic highway, an advantage for exploring North Cornwall. Lots of walks available at the location, which we would like to return to take advantage of, since we had chosen this cottage as it was an ideal location to use as a base for exploring National Trust properties in the area. Could have stayed longer. Have already recommended a stay at Valley View Cottages to work colleagues, friends and family and really hope to go back soon.

We enjoyed our short break at Jasmine Cottage. Good location for coast path walks. Spotlessly clean and tidy and well equipped.

We were delighted to stay in Jasmine Cottage, which has been recently converted to a high standard, and nestles in a beautiful wooded valley with footpaths leading down to the coast. The owners were both friendly and helpful. We were looking for peace and quiet and we got it.....and we shall certainly be back.

A cosy cottage set in beautiful countryside with lovely walks.

Wonderfully idyllic location, ideal base for relaxing, walking or exploring the local area.

A fabulous peaceful cottage!
