About this listing

Escape to the peace and quiet of the countryside with this charming, family-friendly retreat nestled within expansive shared grounds on the edge of Devon and Cornwall. Ideal for nature lovers and outdoor enthusiasts, this welcoming haven is perfectly positioned for walking, hiking, and cycling adventures through some of the South West’s most breathtaking landscapes. Just 7 miles away, the vibrant coastal town of Bude offers stunning beaches, dramatic cliffs, excellent surf, and a great selection of independent shops and eateries. Bring along a picnic and spend the day exploring the coast. For walkers, the South West Coast Path starts in Bude and winds along the dramatic shoreline to Hartland Quay (18 miles), a scenic spot set within a designated National Landscape. A little closer to home, the traditional market town of Holsworthy is just over 3 miles away and is a great place to browse local shops or enjoy a relaxed café lunch. After a day in the great outdoors, return to your cosy home-from-home. Curl up by the wood burner in the lounge/diner or throw open the French doors to the enclosed garden and let the fresh country air in. The well-equipped kitchen has everything needed to cook hearty breakfasts or family meals, while the two bedrooms — one king-size and one twin — offer a restful place to recharge. A modern family bathroom completes the layout. Outside, the enclosed garden is perfect for children and dogs to enjoy, while the patio area sets the scene for alfresco dining or a sizzling evening BBQ. Sink into your private hot tub under the stars — the perfect way to ease tired muscles after a day on the trails. Within the shared grounds, guests are free to walk around the lakes, enjoy a peaceful afternoon of fishing, or try paddle boarding for a bit of fun. Private parking is available for two vehicles.
