Overview
Property code: OC-00952

A charming Cornish cottage where families play, sunsets glow, and animals wait to say hello. 

Tucked within the historic village of Stratton, just moments from the sandy beaches of Bude, Kitts Cottage is a place to slow down and savour the best of Cornwall and Devon. Whether you come with children eager for adventure or as a couple seeking a peaceful retreat, this charming 400 year old cottage blends rustic character with modern comfort and heartfelt hospitality.

Set near a main road with excellent access to both counties, Kitts Cottage offers a private entrance, off-road parking, and its own enclosed garden — perfect for morning coffees or summer barbecues as the sky turns gold. Inside the cottage is full of warmth and charm;  with low ceilings throughout, a glowing wood burner, and a well-equipped kitchen complete with dishwasher. The bathroom is conveniently situated on the ground floor, while upstairs you’ll find two cosy bedrooms — one double and one twin — designed for quiet nights after busy, happy days.

A large separate utility room provides secure storage for surfboards, bikes, or walking gear. Your own washing machine and tumble dryer means that you can always be clean and dry. Outside, children may play freely on the climbing frame, and guests may enjoy meeting and helping to feed the resident animals by arrangement with the owners. The owners aim to ensure you have the best stay possible — nearby if needed, but never intruding on your peace.

Make your stay even more memorable with a selection of carefully chosen local experiences available to Kitts Cottage guests. Enjoy a special meal prepared in the cottage by a private chef, capture your Cornish escape with a professional photo shoot, arrange dog sitting or walking so you can enjoy a wider choice of attractions, or explore the coast and countryside with a private taxi tour instead of driving narrow rural roads. Details are shared after booking.

From Kitts Cottage, the coast calls. Explore Bude’s family-friendly beaches, dog-welcoming cafés, and sea pool.  Or wander the South West Coast Path and discover the dramatic beauty of Boscastle, Tintagel, Clovelly, and the airfield museum at Davidstow. Whether you visit for sunlit summer days or a snug winter break by the fire, Kitts Cottage invites you to make lasting memories in one of Cornwall’s most enchanting corners.

We had a lovely week at Kitts cottage. The garden is beautiful and well kept. Very large space to relax in and nice and private. The sheep and chickens are a welcome site while in the garden. The cottage is small , perfect for a base for your holiday. Very well equipped with good quality appliances and cookware. We did think it is probably the clRead moreeanest holiday cottage we have ever stayed in and we have stayed in quite a few! The welcome gifts were much appreciated.

What a lovely week we had in this beautiful cottage, we even had some sunshine which made it even more perfect. The cottage has everything you need and Roxanne & Philip the owners next door were so welcoming allowing our daughter to see and feed the animals and also collect eggs from the chickens.

The welcome gifts were also appreciated and the fresh eggs were so delicious. The garden is fantastic and spacious, our daughter loved the play area and our dog loved chasing her ball and we even had a BBQ. It was only a 10 minute drive into Bude and we ate at some lovely places, Rosies, Brendan arms and the Preston Gate Inn. Would highly recommend this cottage if youre looking for a relaxing break or want to explore and visit different places. We would love to return in the future. Hide

View from garden was amazing and made the evenings sitting outside even more special, having the farm animals around you where also extra special for the grandson, especially the morning walk arounds with Philip helping feed the pigs and sheep. Amazing holiday home and time spent there, will definitely visit again
