Escape to Cornwall’s north coast in this elegant apartment in Bude. The property, which sleeps four guests, is perfect for families and couples seeking a traditional seaside getaway, thanks to its proximity to the sandy shores of Crooklets Beach (200 metres). In the evenings, sit out on your private balcony, or take a dip in the shared swimming pool.
Stairs lead to the second-floor apartment, which forms part of a stylish coastal development. At the heart of the home is a light and airy lounge/kitchen/diner with a beautiful parquet floor and an impressive double-height ceiling. To the rear of the room is a sleek kitchen for preparing hearty meals, and you’ll have a choice of a breakfast bar or a gorgeous wooden dining table. After a bite to eat, unwind in the cosy lounge area with a classic movie on the Smart TV. Just off this area is a handy utility room. The master super-king-size bedroom has a Juliet balcony with sea views and an en-suite bathroom with a fabulous freestanding bath. The second super-king-size features a contemporary, en-suite shower room. From the lounge area, patio doors open onto a covered, glass-fronted balcony where you can dine alfresco and admire the coastal views. Guests are welcome to use the shared indoor heated swimming pool, and you’ll have private parking for one car.
Bude is a traditional seaside town with gift shops to potter around, along with friendly pubs and fish and chip takeaways. Spend long, lazy days sharing picnics and splashing in the sea at Crooklets Beach or, at low tide, wander along the shoreline to swim in the famous sea pool at Summerleaze Beach. Keen walkers can join the South West Coast Path for remote clifftop adventures or, for something a little more sedate, take a stroll along the scenic towpath of Bude Canal.
