A superb holiday home with plenty of space both inside and out. It is situated in a lovely quiet village but near to the main roads to enjoy exploring both Devon and Cornwall. Very friendly but not intrusive neighbours. House is very well equipped, clean with everything you need for a perfect holiday. Oh and it has the large hot tub bonus.

Wow what a beautiful house to stay at. The moment we pulled up in the drive we fell in love. The little touches added that bit extra too.

First impressions, wow. The robes and chocolate for each guest was a nice touch. However, the house needs a deep clean to remove all the spiders and cob webs. The broken Items outside and inside the house should be pointed.

A beautiful home from home. Well equipped for our family of 7 adults and 2 dogs. Good quality furniture and beds and bedding was lovely. Property is very private and has good parking space.

Wasnt a problem as you can buy at the supermarkets in Bude. Property is centrally located for access to many tourist attractions. Hide
