Property Description
Tucked away down a wooded lane in a secluded valley by the sea, 'Little Marsland' is the perfect place to get away from it all. Little Marsland is a beautiful contemporary character cottage set in a Nature Reserve and designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, located at the end of the Tamara Coast to Coast Way and near to the South West Coast Path.
The cottage is spacious and light with a mixed contemporary-cottage character feel, with wooden floors, latch doors and high-speed wifi. The rooms are arranged on split-level, with the entrance porch and hall on the first floor and a beautiful modern large kitchen / dining area opening on to the garden. The kitchen is fully equipped including fridge freezer, washing machine, tumble dryer and bluetooth speaker. Ideal for family groups, there are 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. The bedrooms are arranged in pairs: 1 king size double, 1 twin on the upper floor together with a shower room and WC; plus 1 king size double and 1 twin on the ground floor with a separate shower room. There is an additional family bathroom with shower over bath and a WC on the first floor. A small flight of stairs takes you up to the open lounge with wood burning stove, large Velux style windows and beautiful views through the trees to the sea. This tranquil area offers smart TV and board games, with a door onto a small balcony where you can sit out at the level of the tree canopy.
There is parking for 2 cars outside the cottage with additional parking at the top of the wooded approach lane. Bed linen and towels, electric and cleaning are included as well as stairgate and travel cot if necessary. Superfast fibre broadband means that remote working is possible if required. Bookings are accepted Saturday to Saturday for minimum 7 nights stay.
Little Marsland welcomes well-behaved dogs and the garden is secure. No smoking is allowed anywhere in the property. The garden is a haven of wildlife and natural beauty, excellent for bird watching and relaxing .The cove and beach at Marsland Mouth is within walking distance, two good pubs only 2 miles away and nearest shop about 5 miles. The cottage approach lane is marked 'Unsuitable for Motors' and cars are able to get down the lane to the level of the cottage, but no further into the valley.
Directly from your door is the delightful half mile walk that leads to the pebble beach of Marsland Cove, where the footpath over the stream marks the Cornwall/Devon border, or within a short drive is a selection of superb sandy beaches with excellent surfing opportunities.
"Isolated but in a wonderful way - allowing us to explore through woods and steep and deep cliff paths that were teeming with butterflies and wild flowers. And the views from the cliff tops - wow! Little Marsland lacks nothing - a comfy family home with a gorgeous garden.” Joanna
"We loved the house and beautiful garden and stunning location. Definitely a place for people who love walking, the coastal path is awesome.” Susan
Perfect paradise
'My first impression was wow heaven and as I walked around the property it just got better and better. Little Marsland is a beautiful cottage set amongst a beautiful woodland peace and tranquility just the birds singing and the rustle of leaves a perfect place to relax. The cottage is equipped to a very high standard, well maintained and obviously loved by the owners as this comes across within the cottage and gardens which are lovely. Will definitely be going back and would recommend to all.' Sharon T.
My happy place ...
'This was our 3rd stay here. The property is beautiful, well kept and clean. It is well equipped with more than you'd ever need. The gardens are well established and well fenced for dogs. It is well out of the way without being too isolated, there are small shops in nearby Kilkhampton and bigger supermarkets etc within 30 mins in Bude. There is a beach within walking distance and access to some great walks inland and costal, it is really hilly in places so you get a good workout. There are also beaches within a short drive. The way the property is configured makes it ideal for 2 families or extended families to stay as there are 2 bedrooms and a bathroom upstairs and the same downstairs with the living room on the middle floor and a huge kitchen / diner / sunroom area to the side. We love it here it is so peaceful and relaxing. The owner is very friendly and helpful and replies to messages promptly. Would definitely recommend a stay here.'About pets:Pets allowed.About checkOut:Check out before 10:00 AM.About children:Children allowed: ages 0-17.About checkIn:Check in after 4:00 PM.About smoking:Smoking is not permitted.About events:No events allowed.

A lovely location but some improvements to bedrooms needed
We really loved the garden and the birds including a magnificent nuthatch, which visited regularly. It was wonderful to be in nature, we enjoyed the walks, the nature reserve and wild swimming.
While the kitchen and living room were great, we do have some feedback on the state of the bedding, bathrooms and downstairs bedrooms. The pillows and duvets were smelly and stained. We were dismayed that the owners had not checked the current state of the downstairs bedrooms, as we had specifically asked about the damp problems in early August, weeks before our visit. We found mould on lamp shades, blind and curtain linings and the rooms smelt damp and unhealthy. We were able to ventilate and reduce this to some extent before my elderly mother-in-law in her nineties with breathing difficulties, came to stay. The downstairs carpets are also infested with clothes moths – most noticeable at the bottom of the stairs.
We were sad about this as the house is so special nestled in the wood, in a beautiful and extraordinary place. We do feel the owners could easily have done more to ensure decent accommodation.

Away from "the world"...
The house is nicely decorated and was very clean. We only had to get rid of a large number of spiders, but that was due to our arachnophobia. It is a place where one can really calm down and relax and it´s great that dogs are allowed. We enjoyed walking along the coast and down to the "beach" where we saw some quite "dramatic" sunsets.
The only downside was, that the 2 lower bedrooms were damp so that we needed to keep dehumidifiers running. But still one of the bedrooms had a quite unpleasant mouldy smell to it. Travelling as a party of four, we fortunately could switch to another bedroom upstairs.
Nevertheless we felt very comfortable and highly recommend a stay in this beautiful house in this beautiful setting.

Beautiful House and Setting
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Little Marsland both the House and the surrounding area are beautiful, if a bit treacherous.
I would just advise those staying that the drive down to the house is quite rocky and steep so be mindful. We made the mistake of ordering a supermarket delivery which led to the van being stuck and having to be towed out!
Other than this however I would thoroughly recommend Little Marsland to anyone.

Lovely house in lovely location .
A lovely house but very remote even for a shop , pub etc you need a car . That said the peace and quiet are awesome and the garden too is large and fenced for dogs , just check daily for ticks though as loads on dogs some days ! Would definitely go back here just a wonderful week or rest , relaxation and just what the doctor ordered .

The best holiday we have had!
We stay in holiday cottages in Cornwall about twice a year and this is by far the best we have stayed in. The property itself is stunning the decor and finishes where beautiful, carefully thought out and high quality with a gorgeous window overlooking the garden. The garden is unbelievably beautiful and the location is incredible. I would highly recommend it the only downside is the track down to the property was anxiety provoking but that is the price you pay for the location! It was such a restful week we hope to visit again. Thanks Ali

Perfect, private and peaceful
A fabulous private property. Perfect to ‘get away from it all’.
Very well equipped and very comfortable. Footpaths from the door and a shortish walk down the hill to the sea.

A perfect New Year break
The property is perfect as it is more spacious than the photos imply. Enclosed garden for dogs to be safe. Kitchen is really well supplied. Privacy is fantastic. Walk to the beach is short and sharp but well worth doing.
