Escape to this gorgeous, period retreat close to the Cornwall and Devon border and take your large party of friends or family members, plus your happy hound. Sleeping ten guests, the exquisite, detached hideaway nestles in secluded surroundings, 10 miles from Bude. With a beautiful garden, where children can play and adults can relax on summer days, and two wood burners to bask beside in the autumn and winter months, this generous, six-bedroom cottage makes a great base at any time of year.
Wander into the delightful abode, which was once two separate cottages, to discover well-proportioned accommodation with a wealth of rustic features, including exposed beams, stone and brickwork. Choose between two lounges when it comes to lighting a wood burner and settling down to watch TV. Some of you might also like to play on the games console in one of the lounges. Gather in the splendid farmhouse-style kitchen/diner to prepare great feasts for your group to enjoy at the large table. A family shower room, accessed by taking two steps down, a utility room and two of your bedrooms, a single and a double, with beds that can also be arranged as twins by prior agreement, are also downstairs. Three more doubles, another of which can be made up as a twin, are up on the first floor, together with a second single bedroom, a family shower room and a family bathroom. Dine out on the patio together on fine days. Supervise the children on the play equipment on the lawn and soak up the fresh air and serenity.
Venture into Bude to stock up on delicious produce. Picnic on the beach at Summerleaze, 10.5 miles away, where you can swim in the sea or the tidal pool. Organise exciting walks along the South West Coast Path.
