The location is highly praised for its proximity to beaches, the town centre, and coastal paths, making it an ideal base for exploring Bude and the surrounding areas.
Guests find the beds comfortable and the property cosy, contributing to a relaxing stay. Some comments about tired sofas suggest room for improvement in the lounge area.
The property is well-equipped, particularly the kitchen, and offers private parking and a secure garden. However, some guests noted the need for maintenance and modernisation, as well as slow Wi-Fi, which affects the score.

About this property
This charming detached property sits on a residential road that runs straight down to Crooklets Beach, in the heart of the coastal town of Bude, on Cornwall's north coast. Awel-Y-Mor is an ideal property for a family or group of six guests wanting to enjoy a coastal escape, taking advantage of the nearby sandy beaches and excellent surf on offer from North Cornwall's Atlantic waves. The property offers parking for three cars off-road, as well as a large courtyard garden with immaculate lawn and a seating area, where you can enjoy breakfast and a morning coffee in the pleasant Cornish sunshine.
Head inside the property to discover a contemporary kitchen with cream units and powder blue painted walls offering a beach feel, fully-equipped with all of the appliances you'll need during to create delicious meals, which can be enjoyed in the living/dining room at the dining table. After dinner, move over to the sofas and relax beside the electric fire, enjoying a family film night on the TV. When it's time for a good night's rest, head upstairs to discover three bright and airy, carpeted bedrooms, comprising a double, a twin which has a zip/link feature and can be made into a super-king-size, as well as a single room with truckle bed, ideal for children.
There are two shower rooms, one on each floor, where you can prepare for each day, while the ground-floor room houses a washing machine for added convenience, should you have wet and sandy clothes to clean after a day of beach fun. The property is within walking distance of a host of amenities, shops, café, pubs and restaurants, as well as a lake, a golf course and a choice of three picturesque beaches. Spend the day at Bude Sea Pool, a semi-natural pool that is popular for swimming and paddleboarding, while Crooklets Beach has excellent surf and Summerleaze Beach has colourful beach huts and rockpools to explore.
The 19th century Bude Castle offers a history museum, art gallery & cafe and is also a popular venue for weddings, while the magnificent South West Coast Path runs right through the town, which walkers can join to explore the coastline in either direction. Head north along the Hartland Cornwall Heritage Coast to find unspoiled, cliff-backed beaches, and continue towards Devon and the picturesque harbour village of Clovelly, with its museums, RNLI Lifeboat Museum, stunning waterfall, idyllic harbour and family-friendly beach. Head south along the coastal path towards Pentire Point, passing Boscastle's Pentargon Waterfall, The Museum of Witchcraft and Magic, the National Trust's Rocky Valley, St Nectan's Glen nature reserve and dramatic waterfall, towards Tintagel's legendary castle, which was the birthplace of King Arthur, as well as Merlin's Cave and the National Trust's Glebe Cliff.

We loved the house and it seemed much improved since our last stay several years ago - it was very light (triple aspect living room and double aspect bedroom) and owners arranged for the heating to be on before we arrived.

It had everything we needed and we are hoping to come back. Will get in touch about next year. One thing I would say is that we arrived on 29 December and although we were allowed in earlier around 12ish, the house was very very cold when we arrived. It would have been nice if the heating was at least turned on (to a low level would be fine) so it took the edge off the coldness. And if the cleaners had been in that morning to get it ready for us, they could have done this. But it didn't take long to heat up so it really wasn't a major. just a comment. I also left a jigsaw puzzle with all pieces there for future guests.

Perfect for dogs as it has a large, secure garden and easily cleaned floors downstairs. The beds are really comfortable and although fairly basically equipped, itâs a very relaxing and comfortable house to stay in. Itâs our second time here and weâll be back again next year.
