This two-bedroom cottage is set on a working farm and is located 9 miles from the seaside resort of Bude. Surrounded by countryside and boasting a tennis court, a fishing lake, and pony rides, this is an ideal getaway for a small family plus one hound seeking farm activities and easy access to the coast and moors.
This 16th-century manor farm combines old-world charm with homely comforts. Exposed beams, Cornish stonework, and earthy tones create a relaxing atmosphere and after a day of outdoor activity, the open-plan lounge is the perfect spot to unwind. There’s plenty of room for Fido to rest his head while you read a good book or watch a film on the TV. The lounge sweeps through to a light-drenched kitchen and dining room so you can enjoy wonderful countryside views while you’re cooking and dining. And if you’re not in the mood to cook, a chef can prepare a home-cooked meal for you. After a hearty meal, retire upstairs and choose between two lovely bedrooms. The master bedroom features a king-size bed while children will love the bunk bedroom with its additional single bed. In the morning, step outside and enjoy breakfast on the spacious patio, or take Fido for a walk through the extensive garden (shared with four other properties). Children will also enjoy meeting the on-site farm animals (including alpacas), playing on the swings, and exploring the indoor games barn.
There’s something here for everyone to enjoy. Children will love bottle-feeding the lambs (seasonal) while adults can spend time fishing and playing tennis. For excellent pubs and restaurants head to the seaside resort of Bude (9 miles). In Bude, let Fido run along the shore at dog-friendly Summerleaze Beach while you can take a dip in its famous tidal lido.
