On arrival we were confronted at the front of the house resembling a run down,Poorly maintained yard. First view was shocking.On arrival into the house we found a post note at the bottom of the stairs WARNING incoming visitors the stairs were steep and narrow. Owing to the state of the stairs and my wife and I are in our mid seventies, we decided to sleep in the second bedroom downstairs. This meet we had single beds.

Our second stay at outlook and it’s just a lovely house to stay at! It’s so cosy, has everything you need and does everything it promises! Would recommend in a heartbeat! You’re a stones throw away from Bude, the shops and the beach!
