Located a stone’s throw from the surfing paradise of Widemouth Bay, this charming cottage is ideal for beach-loving families. Sleeping four adults and up to four children, this family-friendly holiday home features two living rooms and a large enclosed garden. Ride the waves and enjoy bucket-and-spade beach days and long coastal walks by day. Then return here for lazy afternoons in the garden and sociable family evenings.
Step inside this two-storey property to find interiors as warm and welcoming as the golden beach just along the road. Hub of this home is a horseshoe-shaped lounge/kitchen/diner. The long, galley-style kitchen is well equipped for whipping up family favourites to be enjoyed around the dining table, which is neatly tucked in the corner beneath dual-aspect windows. Around the corner, the bright and airy lounge has a selection of comfortable seating along with a wood-burner-effect electric fire for added warmth. A separate snug gives the kids space to watch their favourite TV programmes, while the large garden offers a safe space for children to run freely, and outdoor tables for the adults to share a bottle of wine and chat. The four bedrooms are divided between the ground and first floors, with an en-suite king-size room and a bunkroom for two children on each floor. A family bathroom on the ground floor completes the accommodation.
Head to the golden sands of Widemouth Bay (350 metres) to ride the waves, take surf lessons, or go rock pooling, or visit the popular seaside resort of Bude (3 miles). Here you’ll find a choice of beaches, including Summerleaze Beach, which has a sea pool for calm, safe swimming. Learn more about the area at the Bude Heritage Centre or hop on a boat to Lundy Island to observe marine and birdlife, including comical puffins.
