Bude Light

Set in a quiet village just outside Bude, yet only 500 metres from the coast path, this North Cornwall house strikes a rare balance between rural calm and easy access to the sea. The kitchen is the natural heart of it, with doors opening straight onto the garden, while a separate snug and office mean groups aren't all on top of each other. Outside, the fenced garden has room to spread out on the patio or let younger guests run free. Summerleaze Beach is a twenty-five-minute walk, and Bude Canal's towpaths are a fifteen-minute stroll away.

Home truths:
* The two super king beds can be split into twin singles on request – let your host know your preference before you arrive.
* You'll have parking for up to five cars on an open-air driveway, plus a garage for beach kit storage.
* The on-site EV charger is free to use between the off-peak hours of 12:30am and 5:30am.
* Upton sits just outside Bude in a quiet countryside setting – the coast path is a short walk away, but you'll want a car for reaching town, beaches, and further-flung spots like Tintagel and Port Isaac.
* Your host can provide a cot and high chair for little ones upon request – just bring your own cot linen.
