Stratton was once an ancient market town, believed to be established in Roman Times, and still has an olde worlde feel with its historic buildings and narrow streets. The small town was also the seat of justice for a wide area and is famous for its involvement in the Civil War. The nearby town of Bude boasts a wide range of shops, restaurants, craft shops and a choice of three sandy beaches, as well as a sea pool and golf course. The north coast of Cornwall and Devon is renowned for its rugged coastline and picturesque fishing villages including Clovelly, Tintagel, Boscastle and Port Isaac. Walkers will enjoy the dramatic views from the South West Coast Path. Many family attractions are within driving distance including The Milky Way, The Big Sheep, Trethorne Leisure Park or, if you wanted to stay more local, why not explore Tamar Lakes with its wealth of water sports, superb fishing and great walks.

It was lovely to stay in this holiday cottage. It was very comfortable for a family of four adults. Its location is great for exploring both the North Devon and Cornwall coastlines, especially with the lovely weather that we had whilst staying there. Angie and her partner were very welcoming and helpful, particularly as my son had an issue with hisRead more car. Would definitely stay here again. Hide

Highly recommend. A beautiful property lots of character and additional amenities provided. Home from home. I washed and ironed before returning home what a bonus. Angie and Dean are very hospitable and nothing was too much trouble. We will be back.

Well equipped and in an attractive village close to Bude. Good to have two bathrooms but the dining chairs and sofa were uncomfortable and need upgrading. Owners were quick to resolve a couple of issues thanks to living at the rear of the property.

I will never stay here again. Before arrival we tried to contact the owners to get the keys. No response to calls or texts. We had to involve the company, and argue with to get a resolution - the door was left unlocked as they were away! A lamp in the lounge area was broken. The owners later tried to claim WE damaged it. The lounge was too smallRead more & the sofa SO uncomfortable - aka fixed seating in a cheap caravan. Far too many stairs for restricted mobility. No rear garden. Wifi was hopeless.

Response from Holidaycottages.co.uk - Thank you for your feedback, we have passed your comments to the owner who has assured us that the arrival miscommunication is an isolated incident and sends their apologies. The additional comments have also been noted and feedback to the owner. We thank you for your feedback and look forward to welcoming you back to Cornwall soon.

A really well equipped house with comfy beds ensuring a great night's sleep. Have suggested some bedroom fans as it did get quite hot but otherwise had a fantastic stay.

Very well equipped cottage; comfortable beds; water extremely hot with high pressure; beds comfortable; entrance to the parking spot very tight so beware if driving a very large car - a free car park is close by near the children's playpark. Good location with easy driving access into Bude and beyond. We enjoyed our stay.

We really liked The Courthouse. It was clean, warm, light and well equipped. The friendly village shop a few doors down was very useful and they pull a good pint in the cosy bar of The Ship, a little further on.

Property was perfect & well appointed / equipped . There is only parking for one car but we knew that was the case & we found a space in the free car park for the other car so not a problem.
