About Nicola and Bob Booth
As a family we are fortunate enough to live and work in this beautiful part of the country, and take full advantage of all it has to offer. Whether it be surfing, shopping, cycling, walking the coastal path or crab lining in Bude there is always something to keep the family happy. We have lived in the village since 2006 and have been welcomed into the very friendly local community and envisage staying here forever. In 2012 we decided to build the Summerhouse so that we could share this beautiful village with others. The Summerhouse shares a drive with our family home Elanora so we're always on hand if you need us. We hope you enjoy our home as much as we do. Nic and Bob Booth
Nicola and Bob Booth purchased this House in 2006
Why Nicola and Bob Booth chose Poundstock
We fell in love with Widemouth Bay whilst on holiday in the late 1990s and it took until 2006 to realise our dream of moving here to raise our family. The Summerhouse allows us to spend as much time as we can in the village we love.
What makes this House unique
We built The Summerhouse and as such have put a great deal of ourselves into it. That's why we love it!

Lovely place and thoughtful hosts
Really comfortable and thoughtfully put together holiday apartment. Amazing location for the most beautiful beach - on foot or a short drive to others to pick up the coastal path from Crackington Haven. Fish and scallops off the boat fresh or a cinema treat when the rain rained. Is there more to say?
Many thanks for your review, hope to see you again

Happy stay at The Summerhouse
This is a lovely, bright, welcoming and absolutely spotless property. Very well equipped and a very short walk from the fantastic beach. The owners were brilliant in communicating and left a great, welcoming cream tea on arrival, all in all highly recommended

Lovely Summerhouse
The Summerhouse is a great place with everything you need. We enjoyed our stay and the surrounding area is beautiful, bars and restaurants within walking distance with plenty of places to see a short drive away.
Thank you

Perfect surfing break
Had a great few days in this lovely little place. Great facilities including stuff for kids. Communication from the owners was great, and they were really helpful and friendly. Lovely that supplies (milk, cream tea, tea coffee, sugar, orange juice) were there when we arrived. Kitchen brilliantly equipped. Will definitely be returning.

A Peaceful Retreat

Fantastic
We had a lovely week in the summerhouse with our nearly 2 yr old daughter. The house is well equipped and has some cool things included. The scones on arrival were amazing and the automatic nightlights when walking down the stairs was brilliant. Location is excellent with a several hundred yard walk to the beach. The only thing is you have to walk along the road which in the summer could be a bit busy so you have to be careful. There was some machines working on knocking down a house across the road from the property so the reversing beepers got a bit annoying from 8 am til about 5. We were out most days anyway so it wasn’t too bad. Lots of things to see and do in the area and in bude. I recommend the sausage and egg bap from black rock cafe which was prob the best one I’ve ever had. Def worth staying in the lovely house. Thank you again to Nic & Bob for introducing your selves and the prompt refund. D, T & L :)
Many thanks for your review, glad you had a great holiday, hope to see you again

Coast/Beach:
Widemouth is a superb beach for surfing, sunbathing, kayaking, kite surfing, rock pooling and playing. It favours beginner to intermediate level surfers and has been awarded the prestigious Blue Flag award for the last two consecutive years, this being the Gold Standard for beaches internationally. 2017 Also saw Widemouth gain the Seaside Award for its fabulous beaches. A number of surf schools, wetsuit/board hire operate on the beach and Lifeguards are on duty from spring to September. There are a number of other quality beaches around Bude or use Widemouth as a base to explore the rest of the Cornish coast.
And it's not all about surfing, the South West coastal path runs through the village offering breathtaking scenery and walks .
