Bloody setting and the weather was very kind!

Myself, my partner, our 4 children and our dog all stayed at stable cottage for a week. We were welcomed by Gaynor who was lovely, the cottage was clean, beds were so comfy and the cottage had everything we could possibly need. Gaynor responded quickly to any issues or questions we had. The cottage is lovely and peaceful and easy to find. Village shop does amazing bread and cakes too. We are already looking to book to stay again next year.

Really lovely place to stay, the village itself has plenty to keep you stocked (village shop, pub and a big kids play park!) and you’re right on the doorstep to so many wonderful places. We’ve been all over and it was great to come back every night to a comfy bed and to be able to cook in a well stocked kitchen!! Thank you :)

Situated about 10 min drive from Bude and within easy driving distance of several beaches this was an ideal location to explore Bude and the Cornish coast. We travel with our dog and especially enjoy the beaches so this was perfect for us. The host, Gaynor, was easy to contact and replied quickly to queries. The cottage itself was lovely with 2 bedrooms downstairs (double and bunkbeds), the shower room was also downstairs. Entry was through the double room (a good size with a large wardrobe and plenty of storage space) and there was a further door to a pretty walled garden in the back (a useful enclosed space to allow the dog out without worrying about escape and one of the reasons we chose this property). Upstairs was a spacious open plan living/dining area and kitchen, plus a third bedroom with a further set of bunkbeds. There was a TV in the living room and the high-speed internet (a necessity in our family) lived up to its description. Everything was clean and well presented. Outside there was access to a games room which held a small pool table and a table-tennis table. We enjoyed a couple of evenings playing both. There was also a freezer and a washing machine in the games room, we did not need these ourselves, but a useful addition nonetheless. It was super quiet and pitch black at night, which made for a great night's sleep, however we had a couple of motion sensor lights with us (random I know but had brought them to use as torches) which we placed in the hallway and shower room so we could see if we needed to get up in the night. The first couple of nights we had very wet and windy weather but we didn't notice any draughts and it was very cosy being inside with the elements raging outside. The village is only a few minutes walk, on a Thursday evening there is a mobile fish and chip van in the central car park, and our meal was delicious. The village shop is well stocked and we also enjoyed our purchases from there.
