Welcombe holiday cottages

Welcombe holiday cottages

Less of a village and more a scattering of hamlets with charming holiday homes to choose from, Welcombe enjoys a secluded position just inside Devon, close to the Cornish border. It sits astride a deep valley in which a stream slowly makes its way to Welcombe Mouth, tumbling over a waterfall onto a small beach. With its mixture of sand and long, finger-like strips of rock, Welcombe Mouth Beach is a one-off. Reached on foot or by a rough, unmade road ending in a small car park, there’s an end-of-the-world feel to the place. It gets more crowded in summer, but out of season you’ll have the beach to yourself, bar the odd surfer or seal! Paddle in the Atlantic or go rock pooling.

If you’re looking for peace and quiet, enchanting scenery, easy access to the rugged beauty of the Hartland peninsula or the beaches of North Devon and North Cornwall, then one of our Welcombe holiday cottages would make the perfect place. For more choice, check out our entire range of North Devon cottages or full Devon cottages collection. The nearest resort to Welcombe is lovely Bude, just over the border in Cornwall. There’s a canal running through town, and a sea pool which is open all year round – so whatever the weather, you can always take a dip. North of Welcombe, history buffs will love Hartland Abbey. Only 1 mile from the sea, the house sits in a narrow, sheltered valley which winds its way to the Atlantic Coast at Hartland Quay.
