Guests that stayed at this property said
Most guests found the cottage to be clean and well-presented. However, a few noted concerns with the cleanliness of bedding and the garden, which slightly impacted the overall impression.
The location is generally appreciated for its proximity to Bude, beaches, and local attractions. The presence of a nearby pub is a plus. Traffic noise was mentioned by several guests, which suggests the cottage is on a busy road, affecting the tranquillity for some.
Guests frequently commented on the comfort of the cottage, mentioning the comfortable bed and the cosy feel of the property. Some guests suggested improvements in bedding quality.
The reviews provide mixed feedback on facilities and maintenance. Positive remarks about the well-equipped kitchen and secure garden contrast with comments on the need for better lighting in the garden and the absence of a washing machine. Due to the varied nature of the feedback, a definitive score cannot be provided.
Guests often felt welcomed by thoughtful touches such as tea, coffee, and milk upon arrival. The provision of throws for dogs on furniture was also appreciated. It should be noted that while gifts enhance the experience, their presence is a courtesy and not a guaranteed amenity.

Secure garden area for our border collie. Facilities were more than adequate. The only minor criticism is there is no place to recycle empty bottles. There is a very nice and dog friendly pub within close proximity doing lovely food but recommend booking in advance as it gets busy. Would recommend this lovely cottage. Laraine and Roger.

Close enough for the odd Chinese From Hungs, and the Indian next to the golf car park. Shops were minutes away by car. The Cottage fence needs a little bit of checking as our pooch found his way in to next doors garden, the neighbour was great in letting us know so we could retrieve him. It was near the decking at the part that has no bushes growing over it so should be easy to find, as that's where she stood to call us. Hot Water on 1 day ran out, we didn't realise it wasn't constant, had to wash up by hand the following day. To be honest we prefer to washup by hand anyway, used the dishwasher twice, just takes too long. Could do with a bottle bin for recycling. Oh and a potatoes masher lol. Wasn't clear from the auto email and the guide book what to do with towels and bedding when we left so we stripped it all and left it in the bathroom. If you have any disability or are unsteady on your feet, this is not for you, if you want to chill out and relax or visit surrounding areas and have a cosy place to return to then this is a must try place. (chase BT to fix the Wi-Fi, it's intermittent, works but flaky) As if the whole town is sharing 1 pole. I get it it's hard to sort, but report it at least. Mobile Signals not brilliant so Wi-Fi is a must when looking up your next pub, or cream tea to visit etc.

The garden is very overgrown. The 2 chairs in the photo were rough and dirty and the Bistro set ( not the one in the photo)were so uncomfortable that we couldnât sit at them for long , the garden was one of the reasons that I booked the cottage,BBQ are banned because of the Thached Roof which you can understand, but again there is one in the photo, The weather was beautiful and we couldnât use it . The outside needs a lot of TLC in fact somebody passing by commented on the sam, a coat of paint wouldnât go a miss, The Rd is the busiest we have ever known I am not exaggerating when I say it is like the M6 all day but especially morning and Evenings , and for Ref the nearest Sop is in Bude , the one in the Village has closed down,
