If you fancy something a bit different than a Cornish fisherman’s cottage, gather your nearest and dearest and head off to this cool, contemporary four-bed house in Stratton, 1.5 miles from Bude. This slick property offers modern, family-friendly open-plan living at its finest with luxury touches including a hot tub, games room and spacious interiors finished to the highest standard and offering quirky decor touches.

We had a wonderful family holiday at Dowr Gwel! The house was perfect for all 4 generations of our family and so well equipped. We spent most days at the beach in Bude as the weather was beautiful and enjoyed chilled evenings in the house together. A fabulous time, thank you!

Dowr Gwel is a gem of a property. Upon arrival we were greeted with a lovely welcome pack and a spotlessly clean home. Everything about the home is first class including the design, the furnishings/fixtures/fittings, hot tub, games room, gardens, views and location. Two very minor issues upon arrival were dealt with quickly and efficiently by the oRead morewners Greg and Steph who are always on hand if required, but never intrusive. Thank you both. This house scores 11 out of 10. Would definitely return. Hide

This incredible property is the perfect base to explore the coast. Greg and Steph welcome you to their wondeful home with a generous hamper, complete with fresh eggs from their chickens, seen (but not heard) from the neighbouring yard.

Absolutely marvelous stay in this spotlessly clean and well equipped house. If it rains, enjoy the games room.
