Property code: OC-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 quaint little cottage and it was very clean and tidy. Great location to walk down to Bude via a pathway at end of road which took you along the water edge. Lovely to watch the rabbits and numerous birds in the garden. Apart from finding the cottage on arrival it was nice for two people. it was ideal for two people.

This is the second time we have stayed here and we enjoyed it as much as the first time! I especially enjoyed watching the wild rabbits in the garden! The beds are very comfortable and the shower was good. Very quiet surroundings but an easy walk along the canal into Bude.

Very clean cottage with everything you need for a holiday stay. We also saw rabbits, foxes and woodpeckers in the garden. Place well situated to visit local attractions and very peaceful being outside of the town but a short easy drive or walk to the local amenities! It's just a shame you can't order the weather too as it wasn't terribly kind to usRead more Hide

Good location for walking into Bude. Larger cars may struggle to turn round in the drive and it would be very difficult to back onto the road. The property was very comfortable, with everything that you need (although there was no DVD player as promised). The views are lovely, although the website mentions "views towards the sea". You can't actuallRead morey see the sea though. I feel the narrow gravel path and steps into the property and into the kitchen/bathroom make it unsuitable for disabled access. Hide

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
