Property code: HAPPY

This quirkily shaped cottage tucked away in the charming village of Poughill offers those looking for a traditional Cornish holiday, the very best of both worlds: the tranquillity of village life, but with the hustle and bustle of a surfing town just a mile away. Sleeping up to five guests and one canine companion, this property is ideal for a family wanting to ‘get away from it all’ and enjoy a real bucket-and-spade holiday.

After parking your car in the handy off-road parking space, you’ll walk into the open-plan lounge/diner and find yourself enveloped in the welcoming atmosphere of this room. An open fire provides a cosy glow, making even the coldest of evenings warm and snuggly - your four-legged friend is going to adore curling up on the rug next to you whilst you provide belly rubs. Creamy white sofas invite you to recline and enjoy a snooze after a busy day, possibly catching up on the latest box set too. The safe, enclosed gardens are perfect for your busy pup to race around whilst you watch on from the warmth of the conservatory or whilst enjoying a morning cup of tea on the decked area just outside.

Bude is a triple winner in the British Travel Awards for ‘Best UK Coastal Town/Resort’ and it’s easy to see why – a laidback town that attracts an eclectic mix of ramblers, riders, surfers and swimmers. With a fantastic selection of shops, restaurants and pubs, most of which welcome dogs, you’ll find everything you need to make your stay an enjoyable one here. For something a bit different take an 8-mile drive to Tiverton and visit the Devon Railway Centre and Model World: there’s something here for the whole family and dogs on leads are also welcomed.

A lovely cottage,good size, well equipped,great location. Really cosy in the winter. This is our 2nd stay here. Last time we stayed I only had 2 negative comments- the bathroom needs an upgrade and the neighbours parking their 2 large vehicles blocking us in. Unfortunately these are still the same..The neighbours now have a 3rd car and were parked Read morevery close to us, making it impossible to reverse out. The bathroom even more in need of upgrade. Especially the shower. Great safe garden for dogs Hide

This is a beautiful cottage with plenty of space and in a great location. We had perfect weather during our stay so made use of the garden space in the morning and evening. Its quite the sun trap in the afternoon if you want to soak up some rays with a cold beverage. The kitchen is well equipped and plenty of towels are provided too. Its about a 30Read more minute leisurely stroll to the bude seafront and the town centre which was perfect for us. The preston gate local pub is fantastic for food Hide

It's still a nice cottage. Please keep it maintained. Again cater for 3 or 4 persons that would reduce things in the cupboards and help to put our things away. . Because of this you have no area to prepare food as workspace has your own things on surface.
