About this property
Perfectly located for both touring the stunning north Cornish coastline and beach holidays, this charming old thatched cottage is set on the edge of the small town of Stratton, under two miles from the top coastal resort of Bude. As you arrive at this picture postcard cottage you will sense the character of Thatchings immediately. On entering into the welcoming open-plan kitchen and dining area a lovely family feel will greet you, where you can all gather together to spend quality time with one another over a tasty homemade meal, the wealth of appliances here sure to be of assistance on a self-catered stay, with plenty of tempting eateries being in easy reach too when you don't feel like cooking. Going through into the delightfully spacious yet snug sitting room, you will find a large fireplace with a multi-fuel stove at its centrepiece, providing a welcoming warmth to the room in the winter months as you snuggle down for a family film night. There are three bedrooms in the cottage offering a choice of sleeping arrangements for your group needs, consisting of a master bedroom with king sized bed, a second bedroom with double bed, and a final twin room with two single beds, each bedroom offering a stylish interior in which to rest. Begin the day with a soak in the bath before pouring yourself a warming cup of coffee and stepping out into the garden; being fully enclosed, it makes an ideal spot for children to play, with a fine decked area with loungers and table and chairs for total relaxation for the adults. Stratton is a small, historic market town established in Roman times of fine Georgian houses and thatched cottages. The property benefits from two excellent pubs within walking distance, with the Kings Arms located just across the road from the cottage and The Tree Inn just a 2 minute walk, both serving fine local ales and home cooked food, perfect after a great day out exploring the many wonders of the local area, with general stores scattered about too so you can pick up any fresh ingredients for your homemade meals. With Bude so close by and a choice of beaches to suit all the family, this is the ideal location for the perfect beach holiday! At the end of the day though, being able to return to the tranquil surroundings of such a wonderful relaxing thatched cottage will surely make Thatchings an ideal choice for a coastal holiday whatever time of year.
Stratton is a welcoming town close to the resort town of Bude in Cornwall. The nearby South West Coast Path and many other rights of way make this town a haven for walkers, as well as it being home to a good selection of shops, pubs and eateries. Spend a day surfing on the beach of Bude, or venture further afield to discover the excitement of Tintagel. Surrounded by excitement at any time of year, Stratton is a truly exceptional holiday base from which to explore Cornwall.

Enclosed dog friendly private garden and driveway for 2 cars, which is essential for village. Cottage is located in the centre of Stratton about 10mins from Bude beaches and well located for exploring Devon & Cornwall. It has 2 pubs, we used Kings Arms opposite (friendly with good food) and a local convenience store. Unfortunately Stratton is not a sleepy, tranquil village as it has a busy road running through it, which we weren't expecting but if you keep bedroom windows shut it is muffled. We would thoroughly recommend this chocolate box cottage.

A new kitchen has been added and it is very well equipped. The cottage is really warm and cosy and has everything you need on holiday. A lovely welcome pack with card was there when we arrived with tea, shortbread and sparkling wine. A lovely thought. I was also really impressed by Steve the owner who text me to say the cottage was available slightly earlier than 4pm which has never happened in other rentals. My only slight annoyance was the shower which has no power at all but that was the only negative un a truly fabulous week. Thank you Steve, we will be back.

The attention to detail provided by the owners is superb as was the level of communication following our booking. Weâve stayed in various properties in Cornwall over the years and this is by far the best in every way. It really is a home from home in terms of how well equipped the property is - the kitchen especially! Thanks also for the welcome pack, our daughter couldnât wait to open the goodies! We should also mention the pub opposite (The Kings Arms) which was very welcoming and friendly and offered some great homemade food! Overall an excellent holiday!
