Property code: OC-T29211

This beautiful home nestles in an idyllic rural setting on the outskirts of the ever-popular Bude, along the picture-postcard North Cornwall coastline. This spot is perfect for guests to enjoy all the coast brings, whilst being able to step back from the hustle and bustle just enough so you can fully relax within the calming countryside. Bude offers up three sun-kissed beaches setting up the runway for the turquoise waters beyond, whilst the town is also renowned for a wonderful variety of local shops and fine eateries. For active adventurers, the South West coast path presents the perfect opportunity to enjoy stunning scenery along the dramatic coastline, whilst further afield is the mythical Tintagel, famed for the legends of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table, along with some brilliant South West attractions such as The Milky Way Adventure Park (15 miles), and historic fishing villages such as Boscastle and Clovelly, both under 16 miles away.

Upon arriving at this exquisite coastal home, enter into the opening hallway which is the perfect space to hang coats and slip off those walking boots after a day of exploring Cornwall. Directly ahead you can make your way up a few steps into the main lounge area which features plenty of comfortable seating with a Smart TV, games console and feature stone open fireplace to enjoy the sounds of crackling logs on those chillier Cornwall evenings. Directly below this lounge on the lower floor guests will find a further snug space with an accompanying football table and comfortable seating, providing entertainment spaces for all guests to enjoy at all times of year. Staying on the same floor you head into the beautifully light and spacious kitchen/diner. The kitchen provides all the appliances you need and more in combination with the utility space next door, hosting plenty of seating options with kitchen island seating in addition to the lengthy dining table where all guests can enjoy laid-back meals together. Switching up from lunch to luxury, with a feature not to be found in many homes is the indoor heated swimming pool and accompanying sauna room, which sits directly opposite the kitchen/diner through wide sliding doors. When the nights draw in you can retreat to your choice of 6 well-presented bedrooms dotted around the home surrounding the living spaces. A large double room features on the lowest floor with an added en-suite shower room and direct access to the outside patio area and garden, whilst a twin room is also on this floor with a separate shower room. The remaining four bedrooms are on the opposite side of the home hosting two further large double rooms, one with an en-suite shower room and two further twin rooms in combination with two separate family bathrooms. There is a separate WC within the utility, and shower room with WC accompanying the swimming pool and sauna.

This special home hosts an immaculate garden with hugely spacious lawn areas surrounding the home. The lawns work well in tandem with the chipped outdoor play area with climbing frame and goal posts, whilst there is also a patio area with plenty of outdoor dining and relaxing seating spaces. A perfect spot for an alfresco breakfast or to enjoy that sunset family BBQ.

This property was an excellent venue for my 70th birthday. My wife and I took our son, daughter, their partners and 4 grandchildren to celebrate. The bedroom layouts suited us perfectly and we spent lots of time in the large kitchen diner.The most popular places were the swimming pool, sauna, x-box and table football. We would have spent more time Read morein the garden if the weather had been better, but overall we had a wonderful time. Hide

A happy family holiday in a fantastic house. Three generations stayed in Tumbles Lodge during a very wet February half-term but no one noticed the rain as they were all having such a good time in the pool and and with the table football!

We had a magical christmas week with loved ones. The cottage was beautifully decorated for the season. It was cosy and comfortable whist still being spacious. Kids and adults loved the pool - make sure you remember to bring inflatables with you. We would highly recommend. A place where special memories have been made. Thank you.

A really great place to stay with a large, extremely well equipped kitchen, and comfortable beds spread over 3 floors. We loved the swimming people, the lounge upstairs and the garden especially! Good spacious rooms all round The kitchen was really great, and good to have a separate utility room for washing machine and extra fridge, for drinks! Read more Great location, we would love to come back. Also was so great to have scones with jam and cream, and wine and milk waiting for us. Little things like enough loo roll to get you started, dishwasher tablets, washing up liquid, teabags etc - make such a difference after a long journey. Thank you so much! Hide

This thatched "cottage" is huge and in a very quiet rural location down a very narrow lane but only 3 miles from Bude and its beaches. The house is very well equipped and everyone enjoyed the large indoor heated pool especially. It makes up for disappointing Cornish weather when we visited. 14 people can sit round the huge dining table and there arRead moree plenty of plates, cutlery and glasses. One slight disadvantage is that the house is on several levels with child/dog gates on the stairs, making navigation hazardous for less mobile people. The beds are all comfortable with appropriate duvets. The showers work better than the baths, which were very slow to fill with low pressure water. There is a table football game and space outside for games with a small goal. Lots of good quality towels were provided. Hide

Lovely spacious cottage but a few little niggles over the week, not enough cutlery for 11 guests, only one set. Be warned the hot water is very hot and the pool seemed to get colder as the week went on could also do with some sort of timer in the sauna. Our biggest disappointment was no swing or slide in the garden
