Fabulous property! Very roomy and gorgeous enclosed garden - perfect for our dog and toddler. We rented it to have a family Christmas in and when we arrived, it was decorated and so well resourced! Kitchen had everything we needed for cooking a roast. Underfloor heating downstairs made it very warm. Great location - great local pub a few yards walkRead more up the road. Would definitely recommend staying here - well definitely be back. Hide

A very well appointed, clean and nicely proportioned property. A good sized secure garden for our spaniel. Just a short walk to the excellent Preston Gate Inn and easy access to Bude and the A39 Atlantic Highway were definite plus points. Without dedicated parking, it was a little hit and miss as to whether we could park opposite the property but tRead morehere were only a couple of occasions in the week when we couldn't do so...and the free public car park was only 200 or so metres away.

The Villa at Bude was just perfect for our 2 week stay. The property and garden are quaint and characterful. We had a fabulous time staying there and going out to explore Cornwall. The welcome gifts were very much appreciated. The house is so well equipped and very comfortable. We will miss being there.

We grabbed a last-minute booking for a few days as we needed time away. The house is beautiful, well equipped & very comfortable, with a super garden so we were able to eat breakfast & dinner outside in the sunshine. Extremely well situated for beaches (our favourite is Sandymouth) & for Bude facilities.

Absolutely stunning house, generously and beautifully decorated and equipped, a real dream! We loved every minute of being there, hard being back home, everything feels so small in comparison!!! Of note, the road at the front/ to the side of the property is quite busy, but the cars are slow, just across the road is a footpath to the beach at NorthcRead moreote and Bude - both are very quiet and mostly of road.

Lovely house, lots of character, and a big garden which was mostly secure for our dog (there are a couple of vulnerable points where a canine escapologist could jump the wall/fence...plus there are chickens in the adjacent garden that might provide an incentive for some)! Great location - we enjoyed the walk into Bude, and the food + hospitality atRead more the Preston Gate Inn was fantastic. On the downside, the shower pressure was very weak but that's understandable in this kind of property. Hide
