This house really has the wow factor, as soon as we stepped into the entrance hall we could all see it was the most perfect holiday home. It easily accommodated 6 adults, 1 toddler and 2 dogs. Everything had been thought of to make it home from home and more with that beautiful holiday feel. The downstairs was open plan and the rooms all flowed whiRead morech was lovely as we could all be included in conversations. There is a separate small tv lounge downstairs and a utility room. The bedrooms were all fabulous sizes with plenty of room to put your clothes and two were en-suite. The main bathroom had a big bath and separate shower. The garden was wonderful which was mostly decked with a big hot-tub and two sun-beds which were superb as they were the most comfortable. The house was exceptionally clean, tidy and smelt like a spa. The area was ideal, very quiet and a perfect location to drive into Bude or adventure out to other areas. We will most definitely holiday here again. Thank you Hide

The house was very clean and comfortable, however the only comment I would like to make would be that the plumbing needs work as I was woken up in late at night when one of our party took a shower and in the silence it sounded like someone was banging on the door. We learnt afterward not to take late showers.
