Pet friendly cottage, sleeps 6 - Poughill, Cornwall

Set in the grounds of a holiday cottage complex surrounded by superb countryside views, this charming cottage is an ideal base for families looking to make the most of the on-site leisure facilities. When you're not exploring nearby Bude, its beaches, shops and eateries, challenge your family to a spot of pool or table tennis in the games room or relax in the indoor heated swimming pool. This converted stable is brimming with original charm, with exposed beams, uneven ceilings, white-washed stone walls and timber-framed windows throughout.

After a long day on the beach, relax and unwind in the open-plan lounge/diner, which opens through French doors onto the patio garden. With a games room, pool and large shared play area, the on-site facilities offer something for all ages and interests. Just 1.5 miles from this delightful property is the popular seaside resort of Bude, which boasts four fantastic golden sandy beaches, pubs, restaurants and shops.

Take surf lessons, or go for a dip in the tidal pool, perfect for when the Atlantic gets a little rough. Located close to the border between Devon and Cornwall, you will be within easy reach of the working fishing village of Clovelly (15 miles), the surfing hotspot of Crackington Haven (12 miles), wonderful walks through the rugged Dartmoor National Park (29 miles) and much more.
