  • Detached bungalow in tranquil location with a large enclosed garden with views across the countryside towards the sea
  • One mile from the seaside town of Bude
  • Within walking distance to the local wetland nature reserve
Property code: ANNRE

Set in the rolling countryside of Northern Cornwall, Anne's Retreat is a charming bungalow, perfect for a tranquil holiday by the coast. Just 1 mile to the popular resort of Bude via canal paths and 2 miles to Lower Upton via the South West Coast Path, it's a great base from which to explore the stunning Cornish coastline. Enjoy sunny lunches drinking in endless countryside views, cosy nights in front of a DVD, plus plenty of options for days out exploring including the local wetland nature reserve, only 2 miles away.

The vast garden is the highlight of this house, whether for children to play in or simply to relax in with a forgotten book. With mature trees giving ample shade, it's the perfect spot for a picnic. You'll be met with rolling countryside views from not only the garden but also the kitchen and lounge, with doors opening into the garden if you want to dine alfresco. The decor is cosy and nostalgic; a comfortable haven in which to tuck yourselves away.

Walk the coast path from Upton (just over a mile away) to the historical landmark of Compass Point. Head into Bude for excellent seafood restaurants, or perhaps a swim in Bude Tidal Swimming Pool, a semi-natural sea pool which is ideal when the conditions of the Atlantic swell are too wild. Sunbathers and surfers should head to Summerleaze Beach and to Widemouth Bay with its fantastic surf academy. A little-known secret is that the area is also brilliant for sea fishing and golf.

A superbly quiet retreat just a twenty minutes flat, traffic free and gentle walk from Bude. A really lovely base to explore the town and the wider area. Great garden and plenty to do

Nice rural location down single track road with walking access to Bude canal and cycle path. Bungalow is old fashioned but very cosy - with all mod cons. Facilities of Bude are a short drive away and is close to A39 Atlantic Highway giving easy access to North Devon and Cornwall.

The cottage is situated in a quiet road pretty much on its own with a large garden and ample parking area. We found the cottage clean and fresh with plenty of equipment to make our stay comfortable.

We found the owner very helpful and pRead moreleasant to talk to and would like to thank him very sorting us out, thank you. Hide

We had an enjoyable stay at Annes Retreat. Clean and comfortable accommodation. A nice location if you want peace and quiet in a rural setting, but yet still very very close to the centre of Bude. The owners are very helpful and acted quickly to resolve an issue which arose during our stay.

Love this little treasure of a cottage. Ive had two family holidays there and thoroughly enjoyed the peaceful location, beautiful views that surround the cottage. Clean and well presented, also has a lovely garden. The owners are also very helpful. Just to add, it is a short walk along the Bude canal if you want to walk into town.
