We were so impressed with this cottage. It is in a beautiful location, so close to Bude and was really well furnished. The cottage was so clean and the log burner really topped it off. Brilliant stay for New Year.

One of the cleanest cottages weve stayed in. Really comfortable bed and sofas. Well equipped but would have loved sun loungers as we had hot weather. Owners very friendly. Be aware there are farm dogs that bark if you have a reactive dog as we do, and farm machinery noise as its a working farm. Garden isnt fully enclosed but great for dogs.

Lovely light property with all mod-cons, warm and cosy. Really quiet position (just the sounds of the cows and birds) with views to Bude and the sea. Great size garden for our two dogs to enjoy. We were able to sit outside on two afternoons and just relax. Will definitely book again for later in the year. Thank you Richard and Maria

Absolutely love the cottage. Second year staying here for 2 weeks before Xmas.. So cosy and the Xmas decorations are an added bonus. The fridge/freezer has made a massive difference. Stayed with husband, daughter,son-in-law and grandson and our 2 boxer dogs xx Would definitely recommend and look forward to coming back..

A real gem of a cottage. Very tidy and well equipped with everything a family of 4 needed. The location was excellent with easy access to Bude and the coastal path. The footpath to the Poughill was a good find and saved walking on the busy road. The views were amazing and a very welcome surprise. I would definitely recommend.

As a family of 4 (one 11yo and one 16yo) plus a dog, we absolutely loved it here. Weve stayed in Cornwall many times but this was by far the best accommodation weve come across. The photos dont do the view justice; beautiful countryside views with the sea as a backdrop. Plenty to do within easy reach (beaches within 10 mins drive and a pub a few miRead morenutes walk) as well as other places an easy drive away. Clovelly, Rock, Tintagel and Boscastle are all worth a visit. Hide
