This imposing three-bedroom stone property set in the peaceful village of Stratton is the ideal destination for families, including four-legged members, seeking a comfortable base from which to explore the north coasts of Devon and Cornwall.

Within walking distance of the well-stocked village store and dog-friendly pubs, your holiday home offers comfortable accommodation across three floors. Step into the open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner, a lovely space for socialisation and relaxation where your hound is never far from your sight. Cook up a delicious dinner of local produce in the well-equipped kitchen to share at the centrally positioned elegant dining table. The traditional arched window fills the lounge area with natural light - curl up on one of the cosy sofas to watch a family film with your pup dozing at your feet.

Off-road parking is available for one car.

Head to the wide sandy beach at Bude (2 miles) for long strolls along the shoreline. Take a dip in the refreshing waters of Bude Sea Pool or pull on your wetsuits for a splash in the surf. Navigate the tranquil waters of the canal with your hound as first mate, dodging the ducks as they swim alongside your boat. Discover the myths and legends of Tintagel (20 miles) where you can explore the ruined castle and enjoy breathtaking views from the headland.

It was lovely to stay in this holiday cottage. It was very comfortable for a family of four adults. Its location is great for exploring both the North Devon and Cornwall coastlines, especially with the lovely weather that we had whilst staying there. Angie and her partner were very welcoming and helpful, particularly as my son had an issue with hisRead more car. Would definitely stay here again. Hide

Highly recommend. A beautiful property lots of character and additional amenities provided. Home from home. I washed and ironed before returning home what a bonus. Angie and Dean are very hospitable and nothing was too much trouble. We will be back.

Well equipped and in an attractive village close to Bude. Good to have two bathrooms but the dining chairs and sofa were uncomfortable and need upgrading. Owners were quick to resolve a couple of issues thanks to living at the rear of the property.

I will never stay here again. Before arrival we tried to contact the owners to get the keys. No response to calls or texts. We had to involve the company, and argue with to get a resolution - the door was left unlocked as they were away! A lamp in the lounge area was broken. The owners later tried to claim WE damaged it. The lounge was too smallRead more & the sofa SO uncomfortable - aka fixed seating in a cheap caravan. Far too many stairs for restricted mobility. No rear garden. Wifi was hopeless.

Response from Holidaycottages.co.uk - Thank you for your feedback, we have passed your comments to the owner who has assured us that the arrival miscommunication is an isolated incident and sends their apologies. The additional comments have also been noted and feedback to the owner. We thank you for your feedback and look forward to welcoming you back to Cornwall soon.

A really well equipped house with comfy beds ensuring a great night's sleep. Have suggested some bedroom fans as it did get quite hot but otherwise had a fantastic stay.

Very well equipped cottage; comfortable beds; water extremely hot with high pressure; beds comfortable; entrance to the parking spot very tight so beware if driving a very large car - a free car park is close by near the children's playpark. Good location with easy driving access into Bude and beyond. We enjoyed our stay.

We really liked The Courthouse. It was clean, warm, light and well equipped. The friendly village shop a few doors down was very useful and they pull a good pint in the cosy bar of The Ship, a little further on.

Property was perfect & well appointed / equipped . There is only parking for one car but we knew that was the case & we found a space in the free car park for the other car so not a problem.
