Our 7 month old Border Collie enjoyed the garden area. Not far from Bude with local shops and supermarket and access to beaches. The cottage had all the amenities we needed. A lovely touch by the proprietors of a bottle of Prosecco and small bottle of milk and everything you needed before having to shop. Would highly recommend this place for a stay.

Baking tray don't fit in the oven. Overall its a great stay as your so close to bude and all of north devon and the swimming pool is a massive selling point although alot of rust on the radiators and some of the tiles nearby them.

Bedrooms were comfortable. Under counter fridge just not adequate for family of 5 staying a week. Space between cooker & cupboards needs a good clean. Garden area fantastic, communal garden brilliant for kids to play, run around. Shame outdoor furniture hasn't been maintained, looked old & shabby, nothing a lick of paint wouldn't improve. Pool great addition, kids loved it however rusted radiators, stained pool cover & general appearance of pool area made it appear very unclean. Despite all above, kids had a terrific week, met very nice family in adjoining accommodation.
