Welcome

Little Causwell is a self catering holiday let on top of a hill about one mile inland from Widemouth Bay and four miles south of Bude in Cornwall. 

There are two double bedrooms each with a kingsize bed and ensuite shower room. There is a large ground floor open plan kitchen/lounge/diner with a glass lantern roof. One of the bedrooms is on the ground floor and other is upstairs.

Little Causewell is an extension of Causewell Farm which is set in 4 acres of land. Little Causewell has its own small private garden. The owners also invite guests to join them in enjoying the adjacent grass field and orchard where there are lovely views over the surrounding area.

From the bus stop which is at a T junction of a small cul de sac onto the A39, walk down the cul de sac to the right which appears to be a dead end, then you'll see signs to Causewell Farm and Middle Causewell leading down a track to your left.

Bear left around Cedar Lodge and on up the hill and through the gate into Causewell Farm where Little Causewell is on the right at the far end of the building.
