LARGE, ELEGANT HOLIDAY HOME, BUDE

Down House

Elegant dog friendly holiday home near the beach in Bude

Sleep 12 across 5 bedrooms Saturday changeover Up to two well behaved dogs welcome
The Retreat

Down House is a dog friendly, spacious holiday home near epic beaches in Bude. The sociable living spaces and five bedrooms are ideal for family gatherings or groups of friends up to 12, you can enjoy Bude town with ease, as well as Crooklets Bay just a gentle stroll away.

Down House couldn’t be better positioned for those that love to holiday by the ocean. Stroll for just a few minutes from this elegant holiday home and the delights of Crooklets Bay reveal themselves. Rocky outcrops on either end provide endless rock pooling opportunities while an expanse of golden sand at low tide allows for beach strolls, bathing or simply setting down a rug and relaxing. Away from the water, Bude offers fine dining and boutique shopping while the surrounding area has much to explore.

Inside

The facade is dignified and elegant, echoed by its interior décor and furnishings. A feeling of understated calm is created by the use of earth tones, natural stone and wood. An open-plan orangery invites hours of endless chatting or dining in style, all warmed by a rotating wood burner. The kitchen is vast and replete with modern equipment. Bedrooms are tranquil havens of comfy beds and crisp linen and a ground floor double bedroom is ideal for anyone with walking or mobility problems.

Outside

Perfectly positioned to catch the evening sun, the level front and rear gardens invite you to pause awhile with a glass of something chilled at the end of a summer’s day. Pretty planting and mature borders surround luscious lawns, ideal for a good-old fashioned game of bat and ball.

Things we love

Cornwall’s north coast offers the ultimate in holiday adventure. From Bude’s beaches and its iconic sea pool to the miles of South West Coast Path just waiting to be explored, you can spend endless days outdoors, every day different. Further afield, there’s Padstow for foodies or Tintagel for lovers of legend.

Would highly recommend
The house is a wonderful place for friends or family to enjoy the nearby beaches and coastal walks. It is well equipped and has a fantastic layout with laundry and wet room for those, like us, who enjoy messing around in the great outdoors. Fantastic entertaining space with underfloor heating. Beautiful, bright spacious bedrooms, quality linens, and lashings of hot water. The managers are efficient and sorted out anything quickly and without fuss. Would highly recommend.
