400 year old quirky Cornish cottage, in Bude, Poughill.

A very nice place to chill out and have a nice holiday

Quirky cottage in rural location but a short drive to Bude. Good garden with vegetables and trampoline was a bonus. Beds comfortable. Owner was good to deal with - very responsive. However it was top end on pricing for the internal specification and one bathroom with no separate toilet for a 3 bedroom house is not ideal.

We stayed here for two weeks. Pros: Great location for exploring the lovely Cornish coastal villages. Very peaceful too. The cottage was spotless and the communication with the owner was very good. I felt they were on hand to answer any questions should I have needed it. Cons: the cottage is very old so the walls and floors are not very well sound insulated so once one person was up in the morning, the whole house was up! Of course, not the owners fault, but something to bear in mind if you’re a light sleeper. Terrible shame that the fires cannot be lit. After a windy day on the beach it would have been lovely to light one. I’m a keen cook so I found the kitchen could have been better equipped. Overall, a good stay and I would recommend

We had a great week in this beautiful cottage. It is well kitted out and in a lovely location. Naomi couldn’t have been more helpful when we mentioned a problem with the loo - she got it fixed straight away. We would love to come back another time.

We had such a great time, clean cottage with full amenities, close to shops and town of Bude, and local beaches. Cottage is beautiful with history and management friendly and approachable.

The village of Poughall is a short walk through the fields, the garden is filled with birds, the cottage is spacious and really well appointed. Will come again!

Fabulous 3 bedroom cottage. Spotlessly clean with lots of thoughtful extras included. Lovely garden and great location. Will definitely return again!

Very clean Nice welcome basket Cool toys for the kids in a chest Nice garden Kitchen surfaces require much care, wood that does not like to get any humidity Some more pans, pots etc. would have been good for family of four, basic things like salt and pepper as well. We would have found it much easier, if detergents for washing machine and dish washer had been provided. The house is not connected to the sewer system and requires specific detergents. Overall very enjoyable stay, and the house was really as clean as possible. Thank you.

Had a lovely week in this cosy but very spacious cottage. It's in a peaceful location but Bude is still only a 20 minute walk. Cottage is well equipped including a gorgeous bath. Dining area is a fantastic size too.

A very spacious cottage especially as we were just two people. The listing describes it as 'quirky' which is a good description but it definitely grew on us, even the sloping floors. The interior of the cottage was very well-equipped; things turned up in unlikely places! The master bed was very comfortable (I checked the brand of pillows as I definitely want to get the same for myself). Loved the shower but found it tricky to open the bathroom window as the blinds had to be left down because the window ledge was in use for all our toiletries, etc. (An extra shelf/small cabinet would be useful). Outside, we enjoyed sitting on the front lawn in the evenings soaking up the last rays of the sun. It would have been nice to have breakfast in the back garden but there wasn't a table. The location is great; a 25 min walk into Bude down quiet lanes and across the golf course was the perfect excuse to have a cream tea as the walk is uphill on the return! The walk across to the pub is 10 min max and we were lucky enough to be in the area for the village Cuckoo and Revel Fair - a traditional country fair with a dog show, children's races, coconut shy, brass band, stalls, etc - followed by a meal in the pub. We only ventured further afield by car on the one day of poor weather, the rest of the time we spent walking and exploring. There are a lot of things we didn't get around to seeing/doing and we were sad to leave after just a week.
