This imposing three-bedroom stone property set in the peaceful village of Stratton is the ideal destination for families, including four-legged members, seeking a comfortable base from which to explore the north coasts of Devon and Cornwall. The soft sandy beaches of Bude are only 2 miles away for bounds along the beach and doggy paddles in the clear waters.

Within walking distance of the well-stocked village store and dog-friendly pubs, your holiday home offers comfortable accommodation across three floors. Step into the open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner, a lovely space for socialisation and relaxation where your hound is never far from your sight. Cook up a delicious dinner of local produce in the well-equipped kitchen to share at the centrally positioned elegant dining table. The traditional arched window fills the lounge area with natural light - curl up on one of the cosy sofas to watch a family film with your pup dozing at your feet.

Head to the wide sandy beach at Bude (2 miles) for long strolls along the shoreline. Take a dip in the refreshing waters of Bude Sea Pool or pull on your wetsuits for a splash in the surf. Navigate the tranquil waters of the canal with your hound as first mate, dodging the ducks as they swim alongside your boat. Discover the myths and legends of Tintagel (20 miles) where you can explore the ruined castle and enjoy breathtaking views from the headland.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will definitely book again. My other half used to live in Stratton and Bude so knows the area extremely well and his son lives close by so this cottage was perfect.

This is a cosy property with a well appointed kitchen and comfortable beds. Its very close to Bude. Two local pubs are just around the corner. Theres a handy convenience store just yards away. We had to use the heating towards the end of our stay and it heated the property very quickly and didnt have to stay on for long. The only downside is the veRead morery slow and intermittent Wi-Fi which regularly disconnected when downstairs. It made it very difficult to stream any tv shows or films. Hide

We had a lovely stay at the Court House. The only downside was hardly any internet connection and a small sofa which have both been mentioned before on previous reviews. Would stay there again, as perfect base for the area.

An excellent place to stay in. Plenty of room for 4 adults and a toddler. Well equipped kitchen and seating area for up to 6 people. Not much in the village but there is a well stocked local shop a few yards down the road and the wonderful beaches of Bude and Widmouth are only a short drive away. The owners were genuinely friendly whenever we bumpeRead mored into them on the drive. I would recommend this place to those who are looking for the quieter evening's although there are two pubs in the village Hide

We all had a very good holiday in the Courthouse. The beds were comfortable and the showers were good. There was everything we needed in the kitchen. It was great to have off road parking although a bit scary getting in! The location was perfect for visiting the coastal region of both Cornwall and Devon and inland to Lanhydrock.
