This stylish holiday home on the Devon/Cornwall border sleeps eight guests, making it perfect for large families and groups of friends. The property is ideally placed for exploring the rugged coastline of both counties, with the popular seaside resort of Bude, just 6 miles away, and the picturesque fishing village of Clovelly, 18 miles away.

We feel that more comfortable chairs in the kitchen/living area would have been great, the benches provided we good for meals but very unconfutable at other times. We also could not get the hot tub past 34.5 degrees which for us was just a bit to low. Other than the above we had a great time and the property/location was stunning.

Brilliant all round would definitely recommend, six adults and our 4 months old baby just came home from a 7 day stay at the paddock, we could not fault it. They had thought off everything. Scones, milk and single black bag and all the essentials you would need for your first day was left when we arrived which was amazing to save us running straighRead moret to the shop after a long drive. Sun loungers and beach toys left in the garage. A very well thought out holiday home. We would all return. Hide

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.

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
