  • Detached, purpose-built holiday home offering contemporary comfort in a rural setting
  • Relax in style on the generously proportioned patio after a busy day exploring
  • Perfectly placed on the Devon and Cornwall border and just 6 miles from the North Devon Coast
Property code: OC-85673

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. The spacious property features bifold doors for indoor/outdoor living and boasts a large, enclosed garden where children and dogs can run around whilst you relax in the private hot tub.

The purpose-built property is decorated in a contemporary style with little touches, such as underfloor heating, to make your stay as comfortable as possible. The chic kitchen has a range of appliances to make cooking for the group a breeze, as well as doors leading to outside so you can dine alfresco. After dinner, unwind in the beautiful lounge where you’ll find comfy seating arranged around a TV as well as lovely views out over the garden. Outside, a large outdoor area awaits where you can sit in the sunshine with a good book whilst the children play, or crack open the bubbly and take a long soak in the hot tub.

The seaside town of Bude is full of Cornish charm. Pack your beach towel and head to Summerleaze Beach to build sandcastles, swim in the tidal pool and eat ice creams on the golden sand. Family fun can be had on the canal, where you can hire a pedalo or rowing boat and drift majestically along the scenic waterway. From Bude, join the South West Coast Path to explore the dramatic routes that branch away from the town. There are some fantastic local attractions within easy reach, including The Big Sheep (24.5 miles) and The Milky Way Adventure Park (17.5 miles).

Great house with ample space for our party of 8. The kitchen is a great place for everyone to socialise and it was good to have the dog able to wander into the garden safely.

A beautiful house, clean, roomy and lovely furnished with mod cons and spacious for all the family. The beds were comfy and the showers were amazing. Located in a little town called Holesworthy which is about a 13 min drive to Bude. In the village there is a little community run shop (limited opening hours) and a pub for drinks.

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.
