Property code: OC-86969

Treat your pack to a stay in this superb coastal home right by the beach – it welcomes six guests and two canine companions. Set tails wagging along the coast or lead the way to adventure in the Cornish countryside before getting some rest and relaxation at this beautifully presented home with a spacious garden and summerhouse.

The wonderful and contemporary open-plan kitchen/diner provides plenty of space to socialise, cook up a storm, and eat hearty meals together. When it comes to relaxing, choose from a snug, or the lounge, which has a warming gas fire, ideal for the dogs to curl up in front of. Upstairs, are the three relaxing bedrooms and two bathrooms. The outside space is the real jewel in this home’s crown. The tiered garden has several areas to enjoy, including a decked area with plenty of seating for all guests, and a lawn which provides loads of room for ball games, tail chasing and sunbathing.

Set in a quiet spot on the edge of the lively town of Bude, you will be just 400 metres away from the sandy shores of Summerleaze Beach. Dogs are welcome here year-round and can run free in the winter months. In summer, keep your canine companions on the lead while you enjoy the sun over a picnic. The town itself has a variety of shops and places to eat, lots of which welcome dogs. For the active kind, take a walk along the South West Coast Path and soak up the superb far-reaching views, or try out paddleboarding and canoeing along the Bude Canal.

A beautiful home in a great location. Perfect for enjoying the beach, the canal and the town. The enclosed garden was perfect for dogs and made it a lovely stress free week. The home was beautifully clean and comfortable with everything we needed. We really enjoyed our week at Valentia and would definitely return.

Great location right on the coastal footpath 10min walk to beaches Nice house with mostly all you need. Garden is very unsuitable for young children, but great for dog as completely enclosed. We really enjoyed Bude beaches, pool, lifes a beach restaurant and the cycle paths along the canal or over the north side to other beaches.
