Barton cottage
A nice cosy cottage ideal for a couple with young children as second bedroom has bunk beds. We took two dogs with us only issue was the backdoor can only be locked with a chain. Needs looking at.

We had a great time in Bude. The area is beautiful and there is something for everyone.
The property has all you need and beds are comfortable, back door has no key to lock up, so you have to use a bolt and chain, windows were awful to see out of, we cleaned as to see out, and curtain poles are falling away from the walls and lots of items are wonky!! Could do with a good clean, cobwebs on windowsills, and skirting boards. The shared washing machine is in its last legs and left marks on our clothes!

Amazing holiday!!
This was such a comfortable, clean delightful holiday cottage in a fabulous location! The Cottage had absolutely everything that we needed and was very well stocked! The location was excellent for travelling up as far as Westward Ho and down as far as Padstow! We loved bodyboarding at the local beach of BlackRock which had excellent facilities all included in the £5 parking fee for the day. there were lifeguards plus plenty of waves for those body boards. It was difficult to find places to eat out (due to covid!) in the area but we thought nothing of picking up some things from the local Morrisons and preparing them back at the beautiful cottage. Overall we cannot recommend this place enough for a family stay( we were a family of four).

Lovely little stay
Very nice accommodation, clean, comfortable. Bit off the beaten track which I didn't realise so couldn't walk to any pub etc had to drive or get taxi. Taxi wasn't too hard to come by. Communication with the hosts was good and they left a nice guide of places to visit such as restaurants etc. Quite close to a lovely beach. Thanks for a great stay.

Lovely Cottage set in Peaceful grounds
We had a great week staying at the cottage. It was very well furnished, clean and well located for all the stunning Cornwall beaches. The back garden and tennis courts was a nice feature. We are a family of 4 and we all would recommend.

Perfect for a week’s break
The property was exactly as advertised. Just a short drive away from Bude, where we spent most days. Added bonus of the tennis court on site meant we could play regularly without having to book anything. The owners were easily contactable and couldn’t have been more lovely. We had a fab time and would book again if we ever return.

Outstanding throughout five stars
We arrived a little earlier than the arranged check in time and met the hosts as they left and we’re amazed they actually clean and prep the house themselves and this is shown on the quality of cleanness. The house is very well stocked with everything you could need and they even left a little treat to help us settle in. The bedrooms are clean and comfortable even if a little small but we spent very little time in them as there was so much to do in and around Bude The location of the cottage made it feel that there where no other property’s around as it was perfectly peaceful in the evenings we sat outside enjoying the stunning views and late heatwave We’ve already book a stay next year *****

Comfortable and well presented.
Comfortable and relaxing for two but tight for 4 though perhaps fine for young family. Appreciate that owners have to work with space available and for their personal requirements but from a letting perspective a redesign upstairs to provide one larger bedroom with Kingsize facilities would make this property excellent for couples. Clear that recent refurbishment has taken place and has made the property attractive. Any future plans for refurbishing the bathroom would enhance the property further. A cold water supply problem to the bathroom about which we were warned in advance was not attended to during our stay leading to some inconvenience. Very thoughtful touch in supplying tea, coffee, milk and best of all scones on arrival. Very clean and all furnishings, bed linen towels etc of high standard.
