Aalsmeer

Widemouth Bay is one of north Cornwall's finest stretches of sand, a broad beach that catches the sun most of the day and draws families, swimmers, surfers and rock-pool hunters in equal measure. Aalsmeer sits just moments away on foot, a single-storey bungalow positioned to take in views across the whole bay from its living room and master bedroom.

The property sleeps six across three bedrooms: a double, a twin, and a third with bunk beds. Both bathrooms are on the ground floor alongside a spacious kitchen with electric oven and hob, dishwasher, washing machine and tumble dryer—everything needed to cook properly rather than just heat up. The living room has an open fire, Freeview and a DVD player. An enclosed garden with patio and furniture sits to the rear. Bed linen, towels and wi-fi are included; the property has parking for three cars on site. Smoking is not permitted.

The bungalow suits families wanting a seaside base without fuss. It is equally useful for walkers and cyclists exploring the coast and countryside inland. The beach itself is minutes' walk away.
