  • Incredible views across the rolling fields and valley over to Duckpool bay
Property code: OC-R28167

Surrounded by the gorgeous Cornish countryside and just 3 miles from the beach, this romantic retreat for two and their four-legged best friend makes the perfect base for a chilled out holiday going on pretty walks, exploring the coast, visiting local attractions, and having BBQs in the enclosed patio that looks out over neighbouring fields.

The charming barn conversion, one of two, is all on the ground floor and has lots of character with traditional wooden beams, exposed brickwork, and high ceilings, alongside stylish interiors, and creature comforts, like the underfloor heating. Go up the ramp to the front door and into the open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner where you can spend time together cooking, enjoying delicious meals, and relaxing in front of the Smart TV. French doors lead to the patio and next door is the gorgeous king-size bedroom where you can watch Netflix in bed and relax in the bath or have a quick shower in the en-suite bathroom. Let the pup wander in and out to the fenced patio while you relax in the sun, fire up the BBQ and dine al fresco.

Head out on walks to explore the North Cornish countryside taking in Combe Valley, Stowe Woods and Kilkhampton (1 mile), and take the pup for a run on gorgeous Sandymouth Bay Beach (3.5 miles). Visit the coastal town of Bude (5 miles) where you’ll find golden sandy beaches to roam, a heritage centre, and art gallery to visit, surf schools, ten-pin bowling, and a golf course for fun. Go out for a drink or hearty meal at the local pub, The London Inn (1.3 mile) where four-legged visitors are welcome and there’s a gorgeous beer garden terrace for sunny days. Explore Tintagel Castle (24 miles) and discover the Arthurian legend, and pop to the pretty fishing village of Clovelly (11.5 miles).

Just returned from a wonderful week at Ruby- Valley View Cottage. The accommodation was first class, very well presented with everything we needed to enjoy our holiday. The lemon drizzle cake left by our hosts was a nice bonus, as well as the dog treats which our dog enjoyed. Hope to return in the future.

The cottage was everything and more we could have asked for . I own a cleaning business so I am more than fussy! Also my husband has cancer and immunocompromised. The place was spotless. Even if I looked hard I couldnt find any dirt . I was a little worried when I saw it was dog friendly ! But there was no trace or smell or dog . The host Lucy was Read moreso warm and friendly. There was absolutely everything you could possibly need from utensils, to Toilet paper and even bubble bath . So if you forgot something there is enough to get you started. Heath depending! We would definitely return and highly recommend. Thank you Ruby Cottage for allowing us to make some wonderful memories . Hide

We had a lovely week at Ruby Cottage. It was beautiful and clean and in a peaceful part of the countryside. The owners were very welcoming and kind and even left some dog treats out for our dog and a lovely cake and clotted cream for us! We had some great days out which were all within a short driving distance with the main town at Bude, with niceRead more shops and a beach. I used to visit Cornwall a lot when I was little with my mum and dad so going back to those places such as Bude, Tintagel, Mevagissey and Padstow brought back a lot of lovely childhood memories for me. 5 for a lovely holiday!

Lucy was an outstanding hostwarm, welcoming, and incredibly helpful. She made sure we had everything we needed, including some lovely extras we werent expecting, and gave us some fantastic recommendations for local walks, beaches, and places to eat that really made our trip special. Her local knowledge was invaluable and helped us experience the area like a local rather than just tourists. The location is idealsecluded enough to feel like a proper countryside retreat, but still only a short drive from Bude, with its stunning beaches, independent shops, and great cafes. We especially loved exploring the nearby coastal paths and enjoying quiet evenings back at the cottage. We came away feeling totally relaxed and refreshed, and were already planning our return visit. If youre looking for a peaceful, scenic getaway with a personal touch, this place is an absolute must. A true hidden gem! Hide
