About this property

Large privately owned cottage: 4 beds (2 en suite with kingsize beds and award winning mattresses, 2 twin bedded rooms sharing the family bathroom with shower) within a fully enclosed quarter of an acre plot perfect for children and dogs, private parking for 3 cars, fully fitted with high quality furnishings, luxury bedding and towels, fast wifi throughout.
Your holiday home from home!
Large privately owned, cottage provided by experienced host and situated just 1 mile from the sandy surfing beach at Widemouth Bay and 3 miles from the famous Bude canal. Located on a private estate just off the A39 so the perfect base from which to explore the north coast of Cornwall and nearby Devon.
Situated on a very private, quarter of an acre, plot with parking for three cars and a large enclosed garden safe for chidren and dogs. Just a couple of hundred meters from the property are glorious sea views down across the fields towards the Atlantic coast.
The property comprises a large, light, open plan living/dining/kitchen area with comfortable leather sofa and chairs, an oak dining table that comfortably seats 8 and a fully equiped kitchen with everything you will need whether you just want to make a sandwich or test out the range cooker by putting on a full Sunday roast. The kitchen includes a large American style fridge freezer with water dispenser and ice maker, microwave, dishwasher and Nespresso coffee machine. The cupboards are full of stylish and modern china and glassware. Windows and french doors look out over the sunny garden which with its two patios is large enough to capture the sun throughout the whole day ensuring you never miss a single ray.
The lounge has a large flat screen TV with Youview allowing access to all the Freeview channels plus catch up TV, Sky Sports and Amazon Prime. Bored with the TV? Put your feet up, open a bottle and stream your own music from your phone to the Bose sound dock, or watch a DVD. Looking for some "me time"? Curl up in one of the chairs in the seperate snug area with a good book.
The spacious bedrooms are light and airy with two of them being dual aspect. Arranged as two king size double bedrooms (both with ensuite shower rooms) and two twin bedded rooms that share the family bathroom. One double bedroom large enough for a cot, if required (travel cot available at the property for your use). The double bedrooms have TVs and all bedrooms benefit from bedside clocks with both wireless and USB charging capability to recharge your phones whilst you sleep. In the double bedrooms the king size beds have multi award winning Emma mattresses and luxurious 100% cotton white bedding. In the twin rooms cotton bedding perfectly coordinated with the other soft furnishings to give you that hotel feel. With a large fluffy bath sheet, matching hand towels and bath mats getting out of the shower will never have been such a pleasure.
The en-suite shower rooms are complete with showers, toilet and hand basin. The large bathroom has a full sized bath to soak away the salt after a long day on the sand or in the surf and over bath power shower.
The laundry area features full size washing machine and a tumble dryer, and the garden has a rotary clothes line should you run out of clothes.
Equipped with BT Super Fast broadband and wifi throughout the property you will be able to stay in touch whether you need to work or just have teenagers desperate to remain connected. And if you do need to work make use of the workstation complete with a comfortable office chair, USB keyboard, monitor and USB charging ports - just bring your laptop or tablet.
Outside the private gardens wrap around the property with natural hedging with walls and fencing to fully enclose the area making it safe for children and dogs. On the rear patio area you will find a large wooden dining table and barbeque just right for family meals. On the front patio you will find a table and chairs perfectly situated to soak up the sun even in the winter months. There is plenty of room to store bicycles, surf boards or other leisure equipment at the side of the property, easily accessed from the driveway by a convenient gate and right next to the outside tap that enables you to wash equipement down at the end of the day or before returning home.

We had a lovely family holiday for Easter. The bungalow is spacious, comfortable and really well equipped. Great spot for visiting North Cornwall. We’d happily stay there again.
A great weekend had in this property. It amazed us how big it was when we arrived, and it was lovely and clean. It was perfect for our family holiday as we could bring our dogs and a bonus was being able to use the facilities such as the badminton, etc.

Amy many thanks for your review. We are delighted you and your family had such a good time. Even since your stay our refurbishment has taken a major step forward with improved furnishings, bedding and faciltiies now all in place. We hope to welcome you back again at some point soon so you can see all the improvements!
We celebrated a family 60th birthday. Cottage was amazing. Big lounge kitchen dinner. Good bedrooms and bathrooms. Everything you could want and in a great location. Well worth staying. Additionally, we drove 10 minutes up the road to the wainhouse pub for food which was excellent.
Very spacious and very well equipped, particularly in the kitchen. Ideal for those with mobility issues as all on one level with easy access to and within the accommodation. Youngsters also have a large garden to play in and there are numerous games to keep them entertained on wet days. Access to on-site games and toddler areas are a bonus. We enjoyed flying kites which were available on windy days.The only disappointment for me was it was difficult to go out for walks without driving the car first.
Property superb for families and dogs. (Cottage doesn’t strike as “doggy” place though. Very clean and tidy and everything you need. Garden superb. Grounds and forest lovely. Walkable to Widemouth bay which is lovely (but no footpath on road)
Host is a fantastic. Very helpful and understanding (one of our children accidentally broke a window whilst there, bit host was very nice and accepted accidents happen and helped us resolve it with no dramas)
Totally recommend this property for a peacefu break. High quality, lovely surroundings, yet only a few minutes drive from Bude, Supermarkets etc.
We will return at some point.
A family of four who have rented a number of holiday cottages over the years and largely been disappointed. Our aim is to provide clean, good quality accommodation, a home from home, that you will be sad to leave at the end of your stay.
Why they chose this property
It has it all. Space both inside and out. Room to be together but not on top of one another. Perfectly located for the beaches and for exploring the north Cornwall and Devon coastline. The on-estate communal sport and leisure facilities differentiate it from the your average holiday cottage. Perfect for the summer months and plenty to keep the children occupied on the wettest of days.
What makes this property unique
Parking - three dedicated spaces. On-site sports and leisure facilities. Fast fibre broadband. Dedicated workstation if you need to work. Two ensuite bedrooms. All 11 Sky Sports channels and BT Sport. Fully enclosed garden safe for children and dogs
