Fabulous location and easy to get to Widecome and Bude. Perfect for dogs. The site itself is a little run down, but the cottage was great for what we wanted. I would suggest taking a couple of tea towels and some kitchen tongs, otherwise it has everything you need.

A peaceful location and very close to beaches and Bude. Perfect! A lovely setting with small green area in the middle of the cottages to sit in under shade. Short drive to beach, pottery, shops and restaurants. Good roads for Cornwall! Comfy beds and hot water shower fabulous. Place outside to dry things very useful Short walk to car park
