Dog friendly holiday cottage, sleeps 15 - Bude (1ml E), Cornwall

Treat yourselves to a splendid group holiday when you book this impressive holiday home at Poughill, 1 mile from Bude. The luxurious house, which exudes style and sophistication, sleeps 15 guests, plus an extra child, in seven bedrooms and could be perfect for an extended family or a party of friends together. Set within immaculate grounds that include glorious gardens, a grass badminton court and relaxation areas, it is just 1.5 miles from the beach and well-positioned for anyone keen to walk along the South West Coast Path.

Wander into this spectacular property to find generous accommodation with a wealth of eye-catching features. Light the wood burner in the hall, then head into the lounge to watch the Smart TV or a DVD. Prepare hearty meals in the beautiful kitchen/diner, which adjoins a utility room with WC, then lay the table in here or in the exquisite dining room.

Let the children head off into the snug/lounge to watch another Smart TV or set up the Xbox. Find a double bedroom, with en-suite shower room, also on the ground floor. Venture upstairs to three more doubles, one with an en-suite shower room, plus a family room with king-size bed and single day bed, with access to a bunk bedroom (children only on the upper bed).

There is also a triple room, with three singles. Find two family bathrooms, with elegant freestanding baths, and another shower room up here too. Spill out into the garden on sunny days to play games with the children, BBQ during the warm weather and even fire up the pizza oven.

Find plenty of parking at the house. Head into Bude to go shopping, dine out and swim at Summerleaze Beach, with its sea pool. Visit Widemouth Bay, 4 miles away, to go rock pooling or surfing.
