Set within easy reach of the charming village of Marhamchurch, 1.5 miles from Bude, this welcoming reverse-level Cornish cottage is a brilliant base for couples or small families travelling with their four-legged companion. Bude is a lively yet unspoilt seaside town, adored by surfers, beach lovers and outdoor enthusiasts – and it’s just as popular with sandy-pawed visitors.
Part of a characterful farm complex, the cottage is arranged across two storeys and styled in calming coastal hues, complemented by oak flooring and timber furnishings. Underfloor heating adds a lovely touch after windswept beach days. Head upstairs on arrival to the open-plan living area, where vaulted ceilings and original beams create a bright and airy setting. Comfortable seating and a Smart TV make this a cosy spot to unwind with your loyal hound curled up nearby after a long ramble. The kitchen is well-equipped for everything from quick breakfasts to leisurely evening meals, with a dining table bringing everyone together to plan the next day’s adventures. Downstairs, two inviting bedrooms await. The master double benefits from an en-suite shower room, while a cheerful twin is served by a family shower room. Both bedrooms include TVs for slow starts to the morning. Outside, the enclosed rear garden provides a secure area for your pup to stretch their legs while you dine on the furnished patio. There's a lawn for ball games or a shady snooze, and children can make use of the shared play area nearby. Off-road parking for one car ensures a straightforward arrival.
Spend your days exploring Bude's wide beaches (on the lead during the summer months) or follow the canal towpath for gentle waterside strolls with your canine friend trotting happily beside you. The South West Coast Path delivers dramatic clifftop views and invigorating walkies, while inland trails wind through peaceful countryside. History hounds can uncover Clovelly’s cobbled streets or the legendary Tintagel Castle – both within 18 miles.
