This is a very spacious property with the added bonus of several bathrooms. The kitchen equipment meant that every need was catered for (there were even scales so we could weigh our dogs' food). The owners were on hand for any queries and met us on arrival to explain how the Hot Tub worked. The Welcome Baskets (1 for humans and 1 for our dogs) wereRead more very generous. The location meant most days we didn't use our cars and we walked to explore different places in the region instead, You can easily walk to Bude, Widemouth and Sandymouth. I loved the hot hub and everyone made use of the pool table. If the weather had been poor, the cottage has lots of Wii games, videos and books as well as the TV in the living room giving access to Netflix. This property is well worth a visit. Hide

Cannot rate this property or the owners highly enough. Our first visit to Cornwall bringing together friends and family to celebrate my husband's birthday. Beautifully presented property with generous size rooms comfortably accommodating our party of 10. Fully equipped kitchen with everything you need to accommodate a large party, dishwasher, waRead moreshing machine and dryer was hugely helpful, especially for drying towels after using the amazing hot tub in the beautiful garden. This property and the kindness of the owners provided the best opportunity for our family and friends to come together, have fun, relax, and make new and lasting memories for which we are grateful. The hot tub, games room and beautiful location was the icing on the cake. Thanks to Sue, Jez and Nicky for making our stay the best it could be and also for the top tips for looking after our fur baby. Hide
