Property code: OC-CRABB

This charming cottage, set on the edge of a peaceful village just 2.5 miles from seaside town Bude, is perfect for your little family – including your four-pawed pal! Sleeping four across two welcoming bedrooms, you’ll soon be ready to explore some of the fantastic walks nearby. Join the Planekeepers Path at Ploughill (1 mile), and discover the route that boatmen took as they tended their cargoes from Bude to the Thurlibeer Inclined Plane. Spot a variety of wildlife and take in superb views while the pup has the time of its life.

The property, situated on a working farm, is contemporary and comfortable. The open-plan living area is fresh and bright, but the wood burner beckons you to sit back and relax on the cosy sofas, while your loyal canine snoozes by your feet. Upstairs, the neutrally-decorated bedrooms include quaint coastal touches that promote a great night’s sleep. Wake up refreshed and head down to the garden with your morning coffee, admiring the wonderful far-reaching views of the sea while the kids and dog play. Sizzle up a BBQ out here in the evening for an al fresco bite.

You’re in a fantastic position to visit some of Cornwall’s most popular beaches and coves, including Boscastle (16 miles) and Port Isaac (27 miles), the fishing village made famous thanks to ITV’s Doc Martin. But if you’d rather stay closer to home, Summerleaze Beach (2.5 miles) welcomes dogs all year, and the tidal swimming pool is just under 150 metres’ walk, so the kids can paddle too. For a family day out, the Milky Way Adventure Park (15 miles) boasts roller coasters, slides and a maze to get lost in, while Hartland Abbey and Gardens (14.5 miles) offers a beautiful walk through the woods down to the beach.

  • 2 bedrooms: 1 double and 1 twin
  • Bathroom with shower over bath and WC
  • Electric oven, hob, dishwasher, washing machine, fridge with icebox and microwave
  • Wood burner (first basket of logs included)
  • Ample off-road parking available

Weve had such a lovely week in the cottage. The location on the farm is very peaceful & it was great looking out at the baby lambs & cows each morning. The garden is large & has a pretty view out to the sea. Very lovely to sit out on the decking & take it all in. We visited the local pub a few times during the week - its a 10 minute walk &Read more we had some delicious meals there. Worth booking ahead as it was busy! The owners were super friendly & on hand if you needed anything. All in all a great little cottage & a really relaxing holiday. Hide

Perfect location for easy access to great beaches. Quiet and relaxing a short drive from Bude Helpful and friendly owner who lives in the attached farmhouse . We were lucky as had a great week of weather so spent most of the time outside in the garden and the beach . The house is generally well equipped and very clean and comfortable

This was a lovely, peaceful cottage in a great location. The large dog proof garden was really useful which provided plenty of shade while the patio was a sun trap. There was 5 mins walk to the Preston Gate pub in Poughill which serves great food and 5 mins walk to the small shop in a holiday park and a buss stop. A short drive to Bude, KilkhamptonRead more and Sandymouth beach. Hide

Crabbe Cottage has everything you need and is in an ideal location close to Bude but far enough away to be peaceful. The cottage was spotlessly clean and comfortable. The added bonus was the enclosed garden with beautiful view of the countryside and the sea. Lovely to sit out in the garden. Can't wait to come back next year.

Lovely cottage, stayed here a couple of times now and it's our go to place in Bude. Location is slightly outside of Bude but this is why we like it, so peaceful. The cottage is the perfect size for a family of four and two dogs. The cottage is so clean and has everything you need. We will definitely be returning again soon :-)

This is a really comfortable cottage adjoining the owner's property, on a farm. It has beautiful views to the sea and a large, secure garden which was perfect for our dog. Downstairs is a light and airy room with cosy sofas, well-lit kitchen area, and a dining table with great views. Upstairs are two comfortable bedrooms and an easy to use shower.
