Sitting close to the border between Devon and Cornwall, this bolthole is a wonderful base from which to explore the best of both counties with fantastic coasts and countryside nearby. Whisk family, friends and canine companions away to relax in style after hours spent wandering your beautiful surroundings. Spend sunny evenings in the garden and chilly nights warming up in the lounge.

A real cosy corner, the snug offers somewhere to chill out and test your gaming skills on the Xbox 360. For a communal spot of unwinding, the lounge is spacious with doors leading out to the garden and a flame effect electric fire to warm soggy paws. In the kitchen, there is plenty of room for all-hands-on-deck to make light work of meal prep. Rustle up tasty treats in this smart space before dining at the table or eating alfresco when the weather is mild. Upstairs, the bedrooms are lovely and light and invite you to unwind and drift off in peace, two of the rooms have en-suites and a further family bathroom has a fantastic contemporary walk-in shower and bath for soaking in after a long day. For a morning shake of the tail or a swig of coffee, head out into the garden which sits over two levels and is enclosed for everyone’s safety.

Harness up and take to the beach for a spot of chasing waves, sticks and eating picnics. Summerleaze is less than half a mile from home and welcomes four-legged friends all year around. Wander the canal at Bude, less than a mile away, for a stretch of the legs and a waterside bite to eat.

A lovely holiday home, large, comfortable and well equipped. Four good sized bedrooms, 2 en-suite, and a family bathroom upstairs. Downstairs, a large lounge with TV and log burner. A dining room is attached to the lounge. A small snug with TV and XBOX off the entrance hall. A well equipped kitchen with large range cooker and American-style friRead moredge/freezer with built-in cold water and ice dispenser. A utility with sink, washing machine and tumble dryer and downstairs toilet. A garage containing a pool table and surfboard hangers.

1. On our arrival there was a smashed glass left on the kitchen windowsill!! 2. There were dishes and utensils left in the dishwasher. We washed them up ourselves. So as a consequence, we were not very impressed with your management of the property.

We had a lovely stay in Higher Marshes. As a 3 generation family ages ranging from 25 - 72, and 2 dogs! The house was large enough to give everyone their own space but also felt homely. The garden was secure, as stated, we were confident to let the dogs out on their own. The location was excellent. Near to all amenities whilst also being very quietRead more and restful. We are already talking about booking up again. It was perfect for us. Hide
