The accommodation was stunning, we have stayed at some nice places but this is the by far the best one. The host was perfect and kept in contact all the way through the stay to ensure everything was ok.

Just returned from a great week at Drift and Feathers. Lovely place, comfy beds, great showers, well equipped. Paddleboards were a great addition. Graham was very helpful checking in and answering questions before we came and also mid way through. We'd definitely stay here again...easy walk to the beach or you can paddleboard down the canal to it!Read more! Looking out at the canal with a morning cuppa was brilliant. Hide

Everything about the flat is very high specification and pretty much brand new. The owners were very keen to ensure we were happy.

There was a lovely welcome pack of tea, coffee, biscuits and a bunch of flowers waiting for our arrival, which is a nice gesture. The apartment was very clean and tidy, and it was very well equipped. There were plenty of washing up, dishwasher and clothes washing supplies, along with general cleaning products, bin liners and tea towels. The rooms Read moreare lovely, with a superb view of the canal from the living room balcony, and very comfortable beds in the bedrooms. There was hand soap in the bathrooms, which all had lovely showers with plenty of hot water, and a good-sized bath in the master bedroom ensuite. I happened to meet Graham, the landlord, who is very friendly and accommodating, having swiftly attended to my request for additional toilet rolls and bath towels for two more guests who made a last-minute decision to join us. He also sent me a message in the week, just to check that we had everything that we needed, which we did. All in all, we had a very enjoyable stay in a lovely place. So, I will definitely check the availability of this apartment when we next visit Bude. Hide
