Take your nearest and dearest – friends or family – plus your two best canine buddies on a north Cornish adventure to this lovely four-bed detached house on the outskirts of popular Bude. Indulge in long lingering mealtimes alfresco, sat under the dappled light of the plant-strewn wooden pergola, the dogs at your feet or watching them and any kids playing in the generous enclosed garden. It’s in a great location that is far enough out of town to guarantee restorative peace and quiet, but still near enough to walk to most amenities within 1 mile and even beaches.
This attractive house makes a great family retreat. The large open-plan kitchen/diner is well equipped and suited for group culinary efforts or you can sit at the breakfast bar and cheer the chef on from the sidelines. The lounge is a lovely comfortable space with a cosy wood burner. There’s another ‘snug’ area with a sofa on the upstairs landing if you want time out. Pick from two king-size-bedrooms, one en-suite, and two twin rooms, one of which has a zip-and-link bed that can become a super-king-size upon request. They’re all modern relaxing spaces with individual, neutral decor. Throw open the bifold doors from the kitchen onto the large decked terrace area with sun loungers. There’s lots of lawn, more seating and the pergola to opt for too.
Bude, along this rugged northern Cornish coastline, is known for being a top beach retreat, so get exploring. It’s got an impressive choice of golden sandy beaches (check for seasonal dog restrictions), ten-pin bowling and other fun family activities. There’s also lots of choice for refreshment on non-self-catering days. For walkies with the woofers, choose from the Bude Canal (less than 0.25 miles) or the potentially more challenging South West Coast Path.
