Cranny Cottage, East Thorne

There’s something magical about cosying up as a family and watching a log burner flicker after a busy day. Cranny Cottage is perfect for those of you looking to escape the hustle and bustle and just embrace Cornwall living. Set on the beautiful East Thorne resort not far from sandy Bude, this home from home manages to blend contemporary living with a laidback feel.

Step into the open plan living space and you’ll feel a world away from home. There’s space aplenty for the kids to put their feet up after a busy day of adventuring, and the kitchen’s spacious enough to inspire even the most reluctant of chefs! Play your favourite playlists via the Bluetooth sound system, and when it’s time to call it a night, two welcoming bedrooms await upstairs.

One of the best things about East Thorne is that there’s plenty to keep you entertained on those days when you feel like staying close to your cottage. The volleyball net will keep the kids busy for hours on end, and the games room means they can let off steam and make new friends whatever the weather. There’s a shared garden (perfect for a snooze on the grass while the sun kisses your skin) and the shared campfire gives a sense of adventure to every visitor. There’s nothing better than unwinding in front of the fire and catching up with new friends after a busy day.

Speaking of busy days, you’ll find some of Cornwall’s most spectacular beaches just a short drive from East Thorne. With Summerleaze, Crooklets and Widemouth Bay all just a short journey away by car, this is definitely a holiday for the beach bums amongst you.
