About this house rental

Just 4 miles from Bude's beaches and its many traditional seaside attractions, this very spacious and unusual, colonial-style holiday property has its own spacious garden and commands wonderful views across the countryside towards Widemouth Bay and the sea.

The setting on the main Holsworthy to Bude road is very convenient for exploring this delightful corner of North Cornwall. As well as a wide variety of shops, inns, restaurants and the Bude Castle Heritage Centre, Bude has three large sandy beaches popular with surfers (with lifeguard patrol in summer), one with a very large sea-water swimming-pool. Its sports facilities include a superb 18-hole golf course, tennis and squash courts, Splash leisure centre and ten pin bowling. Delightful walking can be found nearby on the picturesque North Cornwall Coastal Footpath, and also along the towpath of Bude's canal - 2½ miles of quiet level walking of special interest to wildlife and birdlife lovers, starting less than half a mile from the property and leading to Summerleaze beach in Bude. Fishing is also available in the canal (some of the finest coarse fishing waters in the west) and sea fishing trips and crabbing can be arranged. The well-known Tree Inn at Stratton is 1½ miles.

The setting on the main Holsworthy to Bude road is very convenient for exploring this delightful corner of North Cornwall. As well as shops, inns, restaurants and its Historical and Folk Museum, Bude has three large sandy beaches popular with surfers (with lifeguard patrol in summer), one with a very large sea-water swimming-pool. Its sports facilities include a superb 18-hole golf course, tennis and squash courts, Splash leisure centre and ten pin bowling.
