The location is described as quiet and convenient, with easy access to the town and beach. However, one review mentioned it being a bit far from local amenities, slightly affecting the score.
The property is frequently described as comfortable, with special mentions of the comfortable beds. Some guests suggested improvements for even greater comfort, such as additional sun loungers and a double bed in the front bedroom.
Facilities are generally well-received, with a well-equipped kitchen and garden. Points were deducted for the lack of a bathroom bin, a tumble dryer, and some privacy concerns in a small bedroom.

Everything was so well thought out to make a stay here very relaxing. The decor takes you to the seaside and adds to the restful place that it is. After a 5 hour drive we couldnât have been more delighted. The property is also only a short walk to the shops and beach and the garden is perfect for reading as it is very quiet and backs onto countryside and trees. We loved our holiday in Bude and thank the owner for making it special.

Only the weather let us down this time but we did manage to sit in the garden a couple of times. I suppose if I'm being picky the poor weather highlighted the omission of a tumble dryer - we had to resort to putting the heating on after doing a wash, something we wouldn't have bothered to do had the weather been better.

I would be prepared to pay the additional energy I used. There are various EV energy deals that uses overnight cheap rates that would greatly reduce to cost.
