About this property

Our large family home has recently been renovated in most parts of the house. It has gardens on the south and west sides and a large west facing terrace from the kitchen is perfect for summer evening BBQs. If there is ever a wet day, the games room provides ample entertainment, with pool, darts and a TV. On the ground floor, Sunnymeade has a new kitchen/diner, a large and a small sitting room, shower and two toilets. Upstairs there is a family bathroom, two large bedrooms with en-suite showers, and one further bedroom. The next staircase leads to three more bedrooms, with extensive views over the town to the sea. Summerleaze beach, visible from upstairs, is less than a kilometre away, and together with Crooklets beach is Lifeguarded in the summer. The house has been in the family for over 35 years, and it has been home for our family to grow up in. This is an ideal family retreat. The ruggedly beautiful North Cornish Coast Path leads walkers away from the two main beaches. Bude is amply equipped, with supermarkets, independent shops, pubs restaurants take-aways and sea pool.

Lovely Spacious Home

Lovely home for our family of 12. The property is very spacious, the pictures do not do it justice. Lots to keep you entertained on rainy days. Welcome package was well received. The property is in a great location, walking distance to the canal, beach and town. Rachel and Ryan are excellent hosts, nothing was too much trouble. We had a super holiday in Bude.

Spacious house within walking distance of Bude

This lovely house was very spacious for our group of 11. We were grateful for enough seating for our group at the table and in the lounge.The games room had plenty of use. We enjoyed the easy walk to the town centre for food, drinks and browsing. We did park one car with all our beach paraphernalia at Summerleaze Beach with everyone else walking - again an easy walk. The parking spots are quite tight if you have an SUV type vehicle. Would highly recommend this property and we would definitely seek out this property on our return .

A perfect holiday home for all the family. Beautiful home with everything you need. Comfy beds, plenty of bathrooms, gorgeous kitchen. A fantastic games room and a lovely garden. Something for everyone (even great for games of hide and seek) All set in this lovely Cornish location. Perfect for beaches, walks, food and drink. We also visited Bodmin Jail; well worth a visit.. Perfect holiday home. Great communication from the hosts. Thank you for a much needed holiday.

Great Stay in Bude

We were a family of 11 (8 adults, 3 kids) & stayed at Sunnymeade for one week in August. The property was great for us all with lots of space to enjoy ourselves during the stay. The games room was a big hit & we appreciated the extra fridge/freezer facilities which are always needed for a large group. The house is in a great location and is ideally situated to walk to the town or local beaches. Excellent house to choose for a lovely week in Bude.

Three generations on holiday!

Very comfy beds, bedding and sofas. Games room a bonus! Ideal outside space….plenty of inside space. A quiet house!…..floor boards etc! Easy walk to Coop store……and town. Kitchen equipment could be better….bigger pans, sharper knives. Not much space for food storage….lots of half used packets and jars in cupboard!?!?!?! More wardrobe hangers would be good too. 10am departure quite early for a full house of mixed ages.

Family holiday

Wonderful place very relaxing lots of room for our 5 grandchildren. This is not a criticism because our holiday was perfect but a mop and bucket and dustpan and brush would have come in handy with 5 grandchildren. Excellent location 5 star all the way

Sunnymeade, Bude.

Sunnymeade was one of the very best of the holiday let's that our family has experienced over many years. Well located, extremely spacious, and with a wealth of games, activities, and a games room. These appealed to all members of our family; young and old. Rachel and Ryan, the owners, were the ideal hosts: unobtrusive, kind and helpful. Many thanks, Richard.

Wonderful stay in a beautiful house

A beautiful house, with plenty of space for our 2 families. With 5 teenagers, the games room was a big hit, and they enjoyed playing pool and hanging out there in the evenings. The kitchen was very modern and well equipped, and opened out on to a back terrace and large garden, where we enjoyed sitting overlooking Bude, with a glass of wine. The whole house was spotlessly clean and it was very handy to have plenty of bathrooms. We were lucky enough to have the best weather all week and so took advantage of the lovely local beaches. Some great restaurants in the town, but make sure you book well ahead if you’re visiting in the summer. Thank you to Rachel and Ryan for letting us stay in your gorgeous home and for making the whole experience so enjoyable.

Lovely House

The house was great for our large mixed group. The grandchildren loved it and happily took a stroll down the beach. It didn’t rain but had it done so there was ample entertainment available in the house. Would definitely come again

Beautiful house....beautiful gardens!

We have just come back from our week at sunny mead! Only downside to the holiday is it went far to quickly 😂. The children loved the huge garden and massive house! We played hide and seek, hubby lost me in the house many of times 😂 we had day trips out... the children just wanted to get back to the house tho!!!..all 12 of us could sit around the table at meal times which was lovely! Evening games of bingo in the kitchen and the main lounge was big enough for us all to sit together at night. Games room was popular and great size too :)

Wonderful family friendly house

We were a family party ranging in age from 68 years to 8 weeks and this was the ideal house for us. Plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms and lots of space for the children to play inside and out. Great patio and barbecue area as well as the Games Room which was a big hit with the grown up boys when they weren't at The Barrel at Bude just round the corner! Bude has a lot to offer for all ages including two beaches, the sea pool and great walks along the canal and this is the perfect house to stay in.

A very spacious house with plenty of room for three generations.

The well equipped house is in an excellent location, being a short walk to the town centre and to the beach a few minutes further on. It is also within a short driving distance to other interesting locations along the north coast. The large garden was perfect for an Easter egg hunt and many games of football. Great for the children to run off some energy. Everyone loved the games room; many table tennis, pool & darts matches taking place throughout the week. Rachel & Ryan were very helpful, ensuring everything we needed was there for us. The house was ideal for a family gathering and all eleven of us had a very enjoyable holiday.

About the host

Hosted by Rachel and Ryan

Sunnymeade has been in the family since 1986, it is now owned and run by Rachel and Ryan. We live here in the winter and run it as a holiday let during the summer.

Why they chose this property

You will love being in this house. It's very sunny and warm, it's very spacious, which is what you need when you holiday as a large group. The 3 reception areas allow you to take time out. The gardens provide space for children to use their energy and quiet areas for adults to chill out, all while the sun is shining on you, as well as plenty of shade if needed.
If the weather isn't too good, then the games room will provide plenty of entertainment, and there is once again plenty of space inside to play games and share each others company.

What makes this property unique

Walking distance to everything you may need, including beaches, swimming pool, shops, pubs restaurants.
You actually could holiday here without even owning a car!
