Set in a quiet cul-de-sac in the vibrant coastal resort of Bude in North Cornwall, this spacious home from home sleeps eight guests across four bedrooms and is perfectly placed for sporty families or surfing pals who love fun holiday escapes to the coast. There’s a variety of local leisure amenities for all weathers including a golf course, leisure centre, swimming pool, and tennis, plus galleries, eateries, and sandy beaches to enjoy so it’s ideal for guests of all ages.

Head up the short sloped driveway, and step inside this charming cottage where you’ll find bright and homely interiors with cheery pops of colour for your happy holiday break. The welcoming hallway leads to a snug, great for teenagers with its cosy sofa, Smart TV and Xbox 360, or for guests who simply want to curl up with a good book. Rustle up tasty meals in the well-equipped kitchen which has a breakfast bar for light snacks and cosy chats. Relax and unwind in the living room on inviting leather sofas where you can enjoy fun and games, or go surfing on the Smart TV. Find four cosy bedrooms upstairs - two king-size en-suite bedrooms, and two twin bedrooms (one zip-and-link), plus a contemporary-style family bathroom. There’s a handy utility room and separate WC downstairs, while outside you’ll find a beautiful tiered garden with steps between levels, sheltered areas for breezy afternoons, a pool table in the garage, and a raised deck for al fresco BBQ time.

Absolute dream of a holiday house. The location is perfect. A short walk along a picturesque canal into Bude town and the beach. Near to shops and restaurants, but not too near! We have already booked our 5th stay for next year, that says it all really.

The cottage is in an excellent location very close to the beach, shops and restaurants. On arrival the cottage was very clean, we were missing a few towels but this was soon rectified. Beds were very comfy and living space is spacious. The pool table in the garage is dark and we never used it. Overall it was excellent and we would return . The bakeRead morery just down the road is fantastic but you will need to queue, not cheap but 1st class. Hide
