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.
