| Welcome to Mineshop Holiday Cottages,
we have a choice of cottages in quiet and tranquil settings.
The cottages are easily accessed and are fully equipped for
a holiday at anytime of the year. |
| Local Area |
| Crackington Haven is an unspoilt and uncommercialised
area, designated as of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The coastal
footpath between Widemouth Bay and Boscastle is one of the
most spectacular stretches in Cornwall. Leading out to the
coast are deep, wooded valleys, most of which are accessible
by public footpaths. At Widemouth Bay there is a splendid
expanse of sandy beach; the beach at Crackington Haven is
of sand, pebbles and rock pools, with dramatic National Trust
coastline to the north and south. The quaint village of Boscastle
with its natural harbour, and Tintagel with its castle and
legends of King Arthur, are a short drive away down the coast.
Nearby are facilities for pony trekking, angling, surfing,
wind surfing, golf and, of course, walking along the lanes
and sheltered, leafy valleys and on the coastal footpath.
Nearby pubs serve dinner, basket meals and cream teas. There
are tennis courts at Crackington Haven, and a newly-built
local cinema within a few miles. |

| Accommodation |
| The Mineshop cottages are in the parish
of St. Gennys just a short drive away, St. Gennys Parish lies
on the dramatic and spectacular stretch of coast between Bude
and Boscastle, an area designated as of Outstanding Natural
Beauty, and within the Heritage Coastal Belt. From Mineshop
a footpath leads through the wooded valley to Crackington
Haven, one mile away (one and a half miles by road). Here
there is a sandy bathing and surfing beach, with rock pools,
where mussels, limpet and cowrie shells may be discovered
and prawns hide in the seaweed fringes. |
