Bude (5mls N), Cornwall, self catering property

An impressive semi-detached barn conversion in a beautiful, tranquil setting, this spacious property offers airy, welcoming and refreshing accommodation for twelve guests. The conversion is one of a pair of properties which share extensive grounds on a working farm. This is a fabulous holiday getaway for larger families and groups of friends exploring the quaint villages, sandy beaches and spellbinding clifftops of this magnificent part of the Cornish coast.

Ideal for a family gathering, the property also features a fantastic children's play area. The main open-plan living area offers two lounges separated by a central dining area, with one lounge ideal for enjoying a movie on the TV/DVD, while the other is perfect for sitting back and chatting about the day. The spacious kitchen has a great range of equipment, perfect for cooking up a special family meal.

The six beautifully furnished bedrooms – several with original exposed ceiling beams – are approached via two staircases at opposite ends of the house: there are three twin rooms and three doubles, two with a TV and en-suite shower room. The property also offers two stylish bathrooms. Heading outside, an enclosed courtyard features a raised decked area with outdoor furniture and a BBQ, an ideal space for dining alfresco.

You will also have access to the large, shared lawn and children's play area. A paddock is home to ponies which you can meet, and there are some lovely walks across the surrounding fields. The flourishing seaside town of Bude is just a short drive away (7.5 miles), and offers some great pubs and restaurants as well as some of the finest beaches in Cornwall.

Also nearby are Widemouth Bay (10.5 miles) and Sandymouth Bay (5.5 miles), or you can visit Tamar Lakes Activity Centre (5 miles) and The Milky Way Adventure Park (11 miles).
