From the start, communication with Chris was excellent—he was incredibly accommodating and even let us look around the house a few weeks before our booking, which really helped with planning.The house itself is fantastic: spacious, beautifully located, and ideal for a big group like ours. There are plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms, two comfortable living areas, a lovely conservatory, and a huge outdoor space that the kids absolutely loved. The garden was perfect for them to run around in, and the little play area was a real bonus.The house is also really well equipped with everything we needed, and Den—who lives next door—was so helpful and kind. It was great having him nearby; he assisted us with a few things during our stay.We had such a brilliant time and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this place to anyone hosting a similar gathering.

I was looking for a property not too far from Bude that could accommodate a big extended family and this property delivers. There was plenty of space and good facilities. We could play pool and fussball to our hearts content. A great garden to run around in and it even has a little climbing frame. There is great facilities including washing machine, dryer, and dishwasher. The hosts we exceptional and provided fresh apple juice and fresh cut herbs from the garden. They were friendly and welcoming and any questions and queries were resolved imminently. I strongly recommend this property to anyone looking to have a family holiday.

Set up for large family groups. Only a short trip to the beaches of Bude. Host was very quick to reply to our calls. That said we didn't need him to do much. Overall, the stay was very enjoyable and we liked the property. ##### Steven D. Stayed 6 nights in Oct 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### Michael H.

This was disappointing as my husband wasn’t very well and would have liked to relax in the garden. ##### Christine S. Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Terence M.

Wonderful view from the sunroom. Excellent location for the Bude area and good road links for visiting other parts of Cornwall and Devon. We enjoyed our family break very much. ##### Terence M.
