Church Cottage is a delightful and unique Grade II listed, 15th Century house in the heart of historic Stratton, beside St Andrews Church and within walking distance of the local shop, pubs and art gallery.

Bude itself is less than 1.5 miles away, with a wide selection of shops, popular surfing beaches, a sea pool, boating canal, golf course, cafes and restaurants.

It has recently been sympathetically restored and is a great get-away for a couple, a group of friends or a family wanting to escape for a long weekend / week and enjoy the countryside and seaside, in delightful surroundings.

You can just relax and chill by the fire, hide away in the secret garden listening to the Church bells sound the hour, or test your dart skills in the games room.

The cottage is everything a country cottage should be, with lovely beamed ceilings downstairs (high enough to happily handle the taller 6ft+ members of the family!), with two lovely bedrooms rooms and new bathroom upstairs. Then accessed through the garden, up a small flight of stairs is a bedroom with two single beds and en suite bathroom all newly done, giving you a selection of pleasant and unique rooms to choose from.

There is lots of charm and history both inside as well as in the immediate area outside, and the cottage is mentioned in the battlefield walk and the town trail. After a long day of reading and relaxing you can just walk 30 seconds down the hill and meet the Giant in the Tree Inn over a pint!

The nearest beach is just 5 minutes drive away, with lots of rock pools for children to play in, as well as sand that is ideal for sandcastles! The area has some of the best surfing in the country with 33 surfing breaks within 20 mins drive (North and South), from easy sand beaches to world class reefs. More surfing spots compared to anywhere else in the country, and able to handle all wind directions that Neptune can throw at you.

There is also lots of good river fly fishing just a short drive away, several coarse fishing lakes nearby, riding, loads of coastal climbing routes within easy reach, great walking along the SW Coast path, as well as great cycling routes.

On top of all this there is also indoor bowling and an indoor swimming pool just 2 minutes away. Then a quick hop, skip and jump away in Bude you have a fun sea pool on the beach, tennis, bowls, crazy golf and loads of other activities.

-----------------------------------------------------

The Cottage comfortably caters to 6 people (also available to rent for x4 people / per wkd), but it should be noted that the bed in the smaller of the two upstairs bedrooms is a small double, but my wife and I happily sleep in it - but If you have a larger frame it might not be comfortable for two people.

-------------------------------------------------------

Health and safety laws being what they are and young children being so inquisitive, we are not keen to have children under 10 years old staying at the cottage. For their own safety, and so no damage is done to cottage - we hope you understand.

---------------------------------------------------

Being a listed property, recently restored, we ask that you submit a security deposit, to ensure that you enjoy and love the cottage as much as we do. This is normal practice for most properties you stay in around Europe and the World - thanks for your understanding.

The Cottage, Garden, the Garage, Games Room, and all areas.

The Cottage is fully equipped, and has all the things you would need for a great break / holiday.

----------------------------------------------

There are only two areas which you don't have access to.......
- a locked cupboard in the garage under the stairs (which has some tools)
- 1 out of 5 cupboards in the main bedroom (which just has cleaner stuff in).

There is a Welcome folder with loads of information in and useful tips / hints / suggested places to visit.
