Mrs Pyne
We really enjoyed our stay. Large property with everything you needed. Beds were clean and comfortable. Was great seeing the horses and the goat. An amazing welcome basket, Thank you. Lovely location, 10 minutes drive from Bude which has a great beach. Widemouth, Sandymouth also close by and are worth a visit. Great coffee shops.

The cottage is well appointed and the welcome pack was lovely. I have to say the mattresses could do with improving, we could feel the springs through the sheet, a mattress topper might be a good idea. The dog walking field was great and Pero had a great time running round. The cottage is handy for both Bude and Holsworthy and we found a lot of lovely walks nearby. It would have been nice to see the owners as they were next door. We had an enjoyable stay.
