The position of the cottage was great for visiting Bude, a short walk to town and beach and to local pub for eating out. We enjoyed our stay at Bay Cottage and would consider using again. ##### James W.

The cottage is well-equipped, very clean and within easy walking distance of the beach, canal and town centre. The Wi-Fi works perfectly as does the tv, cooker, hot water etc. A designated parking place is a real bonus for a town like Bude as is the outside space with table and chairs. ##### Phyllis D.

For two people it has ample space to sit & relax after a long day exploring Glorious Bude & the surrounding area, whilst also enjoying 7 nights of peaceful sleep. Once you enter the drive to your own dedicated parking space you cannot believe you're only a 5 minute stroll from the nearest pub, the Brendon Arms, the Falcon Hotel & only 10 mins into the centre of town. When we return we would most definitely look at booking this accomodation again. ##### Dave L.

Easy access to the beach, canal and town centre. Parking away from the main road, and safe. Sounds of the birds waking you in the morning confirms this oasis of peace, despite the town location.

Fantastic location. A quick 5 minute walk into the centre of Bude. A pub within walking distance. The hosts were onsite and available if required. Just feel the woodwork in the bathroom and kitchen could do with some tlc. Apart from that, the cottage is fine for a week away. ##### Belinda C.

The main thing for us was its location. The only downside was having no outside space where we could go without the dogs on leads. Even a few enclosed feet would have made the holiday perfect. ##### Anthony T. Stayed 7 nights in Sep 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lee H. 21 Oct 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Return visit Love this little cottage which is fine for us and our two Cocker Spaniels. Close to the beach, and the heart of Bude but still very secluded. You just don’t realise it’s there from the roadside. Makes it especially quiet, although lovely to wake to birdsong. Walk to town, the beach or along Bude Canal, all within easy reach. We’ve stayed here a few times now, as so convenient to visit family who live up the road a bit. As the car is parked on the grounds, no hassle with finding parking spaces either. ##### Lee H. Stayed 7 nights in Oct 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Rob J. 3 Feb 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Lovely little property, excellent location! Ideal for two people and a dog!We had 4 nights at Bay Cottage and thoroughly enjoyed it.It's a cosy little place but has everything you need and is perfectly located - close to the canal, river, town centre and beach; but not too close.The hosts were superb - friendly and helpful with great communications. Check in was as easy as it gets, as was check out.The place was clean and basics, such as soap, washing up liquid and even some tea and coffee were provided. The central heating system was very effective but, while there is a nice wood-burning stove and a basket for logs, you do need to get your own if you want a fire - a few logs to get you started would have been a lovely touch. By coincidence, we met both Gina and Jon on the day we arrived. Jon mentioned some visitors had commented on the sofa needing replacement and asked our opinion. We concluded it probably does as it's a bit saggy but it was perfectly fine for our stay.Our only actual negative was the shower water temperature. While the combi-boiler did heat the water suitably, the mixer tap needs some adjustment - it's currently got too much cold mixing so it's only just about warm enough... it's sort of ok once you are in but getting in takes some building up to (a bit like getting in the sea!). under the water. I'll message Jon directly and hopefully he'll adjust it. Plenty of hot water for the bath though.The real test is whether we'd stay there again and it's a definite "Yes" from us! ##### Rob J.
