We loved our holiday stay at Aurora Barn. Firstly, the accommodation is beautifully clean. The layout of the cottage and garden was perfect for a family of four with a dog. All the equipment we needed was thoughtfully provided. Absolutely loved the location, close to the beach but still within countryside and peacefulness. We were welcomed with a gRead moreenerous gift of food and drink items on arrival. This is my favourite holiday home and I would definitely come back. We all had a wonderful holiday. Hide

Fabulous stay! Thoroughly enjoyed our Aurora Cottage bubble!! We took our infant son and 2 labradors. The cottage had everything we needed highchair, cot, even dog towels for those muddy paws. 5-10min drive into Bude. We all had a fantastic time, just wish the weather was better :)

Aurora Barn is a great place for a getaway, particularly for people who have dogs. Plenty of eateries are dog friendly and most beaches are too, allowing a proper doggie family holiday.

A fantastic property. One of the best we have stayed in. We couldn't think of anything we needed that wasn't there. Spotlessly clean, really comfortable and warm with an amazing, superior to most, welcome basket including a doggy treat The garden was secure for our dog to explore and with 2 outdoor seating areas was great for us too. The outside baRead morern/shed was a treasure trove of outdoor items including bats and balls, body boards and beach chairs. We will definitely be returning Hide

Some really nice touches from the owners. A great welcome basket which contained some really nice chocolate fudge. A great location, nice and quiet. Nice size garden for the dogs and within easy reach of some great beaches and walks.

This cottage was very comfortable and a great base for our stay. On arrival, the cottage was lovely and warm, with music playing, which was a lovely touch. We had everything we needed. The welcome basket was also a lovely touch. Thank you to Ginny and Suzanne.
