Welcome to Cornish Hideaways

Nestled in the North Cornish countryside.  We offer three self-catering exclusive retreats, featuring spectacular countryside and Seaviews.  Just 15 minutes’ drive to the coastal town of Bude.

Every detail has been thought of to produce super, spacious and high-level holiday accommodation.

The Fern

The Fern is a luxurious ground floor holiday home, with unsurpassed views overlooking stunning countryside, and to the sea, you will struggle to get tired of this beautiful outlook. Every detail has been thought of to produce super, spacious and high-level holiday accommodation. The living space is designed to maximise the light and views, giving a dimensional advantage to create a full lense for the view point. The master bedroom has a free-standing copper style bath, complete with mood lighting, creating the ultimate relaxation zone. Both bedrooms have en suite shower rooms and all the rooms are really well sized.

Staying at The Fern is like having your very own oasis of tranquillity in which to soak up a totally peaceful, countryside experience.

The Coop

The Coop, meaning little chicken house, is a lovingly converted barn, once used on the family’s farm. Guests will love staying in this beautiful, former farmyard barn, where you literally just nest and rest. Located on the edge of the village of Whitstone, amidst the prettiest traditional Cornish hedgerows and farmland, The Coop has been designed to maximise the light, achieving spacious and airy rooms, which have been equipped at a high level to provide all you need for a relaxing stay.

Chill out in the hot tub, on the private and enclosed patio area, and enjoy the calming countryside and surroundings.

The Old Egg Shed

The Old Egg Shed is a cosy, countryside retreat, lovingly converted from a building once used to store the eggs on the family’s chicken farm. Nestled just on the edge of the village of Whitstone, amid beautiful rural Cornish countryside this barn conversion is perfect for a peaceful getaway. The Old Egg Shed has been designed to capture maximum natural light, achieving tremendously spacious, light and airy rooms and has been equipped to a high level.

Relax on the private enclosed patio in the hot tub, with a glass of fizz, and let the world go by around you.

Lottie's Barn

This spacious and stylish barn is perched on the edge of the family’s farm, just one mile from the charming village of Whitstone. Families will adore their stay here, with picturesque walks in the surrounding area. Don’t miss the circular trail through Ashbury Woods, where an Iron Age fort was serendipitously discovered in the 1960s. Despite its peaceful location, a quick five-mile drive leads to the sandy shores of Widemouth Bay—perfect for surfing, swimming, and sandcastle building.

For more adventure, head inland to explore the renowned Bodmin and Dartmoor National Parks, both known for their breathtaking walks and scenic vistas.

What Our Guests Say

  • “Perfect property, the welcome cream tea was amazing, furnished to a very good standard and the view across the hills is really spectacular and very relaxing after a busy day. The owners made our first holiday with our puppy very comfortable and we felt perfectly at home.”

  • “I’m reluctant to write a good review because it’ll mean more people will book The Fern, reducing our chances of getting another week next year! Everything about the place was superb; usually when you see the photos on a website they over-sell but not here. The accommodation was modern, spotless, and larger than we anticipated. The beds were comfy, and the quirky bath in the bedroom was a lovely touch. The view is stunning and the garden was spacious with loads of room for our children to play. The ‘hobbit’ area for the BBQ and outdoor rattan chairs was an unexpected pleasant addition. The owners, Dave and Jo were friendly and helpful. The sight of the fresh scones on arrival were very much welcomed!

    The location suited us; less than 15min from Bude, half hour to Tintagel and just under an hour to Padstow. To top it off, we had fantastic weather. Thoroughly recommended… reluctantly!”

  • “We visited as a family of 4 (children aged 19 and 15). The accommodation was fabulous, very clean, modern and plenty of space for everyone to have a bit of time to themselves. The Fern is well equppied, has a selection of board games and books and we enjoyed many games of pool. We met Jo and Dave, the owners, who are lovely. The welcome tray and scones we’re perfect for a nice cup of tea after our journey and the Easter egg and marshmallows were a lovely treat. Our dog was also very well catered for.

    The Spar in Whitsone is brilliant and has pretty much everything you would need.

    The location is perfect for exploring North Cornwall and the views are wonderful. We can highly recommend The Fern and hope to visit again soon.”

  • “What a lovely week spent at The Old Egg Shed, perfect location for a holiday spent chilling with the dogs and brilliant weather which was just what we asked for. The property is very modern with everything you need and the hot tub was a welcome bonus after a day spent walking and enjoying the scenery. Also very grateful for the cream tea and other essentials items left for us on arrival which is enough to get you through the first night. Thank you David and Family (not forgetting Esme ?? too) who made us feel at home and gave us plenty of suggestions for places to visit and eat. Would recommend The Stumbles Inn (booking advised) and The Brendon Arms for food. Tintagel, Cardinham Woods, The Rectory Tea Rooms and The Canal Walk in Bude for long walks, also Widemouth Bay and Bude beach for the dogs.

    Will definitely be back so see you soon.”

  • “Had a great week at The Old Egg Shed! This beautiful property is perfectly located in a quiet spot with easy access to Bude and the North Cornwall coast. The property was beautifully decorated with all mod cons, everything was high quality and extremely comfortable, with lovely extras such as robes and slippers and a lovely welcome pack of a cream tea and other goodies!. Really appreciated the Hot tub, the Smart Tv and the wine fridge! and everything we needed was provided. Even though it was a property for 2, it still felt spacious and homely and the owners were super kind and helpful too. Can highly recommend Bude, RHS Rosemoor gardens, Tintagel and Sandymouth and Widemouth Beaches for places to visit. The scenery is stunning in this area too and we will definitely be booking again! Thank you Dave & Jo for sharing your beautiful property with us.”

  • “Perfect cottage in a very peaceful location. Interior decor and design is clean, modern and high quality. Kitchen is very well equipped. Beautiful bathroom with an amazing high powered shower. The cottage was spotlessly clean. The hot tub was a wonderful treat situated on a private patio. Dave and Jo were the perfect hosts, giving us privacy but on hand to help with any questions we had on local places of interest. Hospitality at its very best! We have already booked for next year!”
