Set in peaceful surroundings on the owner’s farmstead with its resident pony, chickens and ducks, and just 10 miles from the idyllic – and dog-friendly – seaside town of Bude, this charming detached log cabin provides cosy accommodation for a small family or a couple, and their four-legged friend. This is a lovely holiday home for you to relax in, and an ideal base for exploring the glorious countryside and breathtaking coastline of both Cornwall and Devon.
This fresh and attractive open-plan lodge features vaulted ceilings with exposed whitewashed beams, ceiling trusses and wooden flooring, and has been imaginatively and tastefully decorated. You can relax with a good book or a movie in the cheerful lounge and enjoy a meal and chat about the day’s events in the charming dining area. The cabin also features two comfortable double bedrooms, each with stylish decor and antique furniture. Patio doors lead to a lovely partially-covered decked area where you can enjoy a meal or a drink. In the summer you can enjoy a BBQ in the pergola area with its fragrant seasonal climbing roses. The surrounding fields are perfect for walking the dog.
