Family-Friendly Cottages
Exceed your expectations at this fabulous family-friendly cottage complex near Bude.
This award-winning, family-run selection of sympathetically restored cottages in a picturesque village setting, offers tranquil, relaxing accommodation close to beautiful Bude, with all the luxury facilities you could want onsite.
As the land has been in the family for generations, the owners’ attachment to and pride in the cottages (originally part of a 500-acre farm) is heartfelt and shines through in all they do to create the perfect holiday for you. Family-friendly is their speciality.
Accommodation includes:
Stables, sleeps 4, rustic interior, three floors, fine views
Parlour, sleeps 4, modern, single-level
Hayloft, sleeps 4, single-floor, enclosed courtyard
Lilac Cottages, sleeps 4, dog friendly property
Shippen, sleeps 5, nautically-themed, lovely views
Millhouse, sleeps 5, over three floors, with fine views
Granary, sleeps 7, exposed beams, enclosed courtyard
Well-equipped, in a superb setting, the cottages are perfectly equipped for parents, children and toddlers. With a gentle fusion of traditional (slate floors, exposed beams) and contemporary features/style inside the cottages, creature comforts are paramount to help you to unwind. Many are set within a pretty, private courtyard setting.
Here, you will find a real ‘home from home’ vibe, with super-comfortable beds and a well-thought-out range of child-friendly – and some dog-friendly – accommodation options. Charming, with something for everyone, the facilities are second to none, ensuring a stress-free time is had by all.
Happy children make for happy parents, and they will love the animals and collecting eggs in the morning.
Even on rainy days, children will adore the indoor heated (30 degree) swimming pool onsite, the outdoor play area (with trampoline, play trail, swings and a climbing frame), animal feeding and grooming (including pygmy goats, chickens, and kune kune pigs), games room with soft-play area and pool table, tennis court, and even organic Spiezia ‘me time’ spa treatments and ‘pamper’ parties available for adults.
Facilities
Bude sits on the North Cornwall and Devon border and offers a traditional beachside holiday for couples and families alike.
There are two sandy beaches located in the town itself, Summerleaze Beach and Crooklets Beach. Both have beach huts available for hire and overlooking Summerleaze Beach is the Bude Sea Pool, which is a free tidal swimming pool that is run and maintained by a team of volunteers (so donations are welcomed). Other beaches only a couple of miles away are Widemouth Bay, Northcott Mouth and Sandymouth Beach, all of which showcase dramatic scenery.
There are a variety of cafes and bars if you are looking to eat out, from The Barge (a floating cafe on Bude’s canal) to The Beach that serves fine dining and cocktails with fantastic views out to sea. A couple of miles outside of Bude at Northcott Mouth, The Rustic Tea Garden serves cream teas with generous amount of proper Cornish clotted cream.
If you are seeking an active holiday, then Bude has a number of surf, paddleboard and adventure activity schools to help you have fun, whilst staying safe. Bude’s beaches are favoured with surfers, kite surfers and paddle boarders. There are surf hire huts too, for those who are just ‘trying it out’.
The Bude canal has fun for all the family with pedal boats and rowing boats for hire, followed by a spot of shopping on the canal side at The Wharf, where you will find many local artisan items for sale. Throughout summer, there is also the Bude Farmers Market held each Friday and you can also find a proper Cornish ice-cream here to cool down with.
Widemouth Bay sits just a couple of miles south of Bude and while it benefits from all the Bude has to offer, is a slightly quieter setting. It is a beachside village dotted with cafes and bars, plus everything you need for a great day at the beach. Surf hire and surf schools are available and there is a very chilled out feeling to this area.
Bude and Widemouth Bay are close to the A39, which makes it easy to explore the North Cornwall and Devon coastline. Only a short drive away are the historic villages of Tintagel and Boscastle, steeped in legends and folklore. Padstow is also only an hours drive from Bude, and is favoured among foodies with many talented chefs serving up fresh local food.
