The Blue House, Bude
A contemporary beach house exuding coastal luxury at every turn, The Blue House in Bude offers a spacious base for eight people to relax and revive. The property itself was designed by renowned architect Ian Hogarth, whose London home featured on Grand Designs. The interiors are effortlessly chic, with high-quality soft furnishings and locally sourced artwork.
Access the sea and surf at Crooklets Beach within minutes, and explore the bustling seaside town of Bude, just a short walk away. The property also benefits from a secure wetsuit store and outdoor shower, so it really is designed for the ultimate beach lover. If your holiday relaxation comes in the form of something more active, then Bude’s golf links are on your doorstep, as is access to endless miles of the South West Coast Path.
With four en-suite bedrooms to choose from, The Blue House is a fantastic property for groups of friends and couples. After a day exploring the north coast, head back to your social open-plan living area to cook up a delicious meal and enjoy a good night’s sleep before another day exploring all that the north coast of Cornwall has to offer.

Songbirds, Bude
Songbirds finds itself tucked away from the noise and busyness of day-to-day life, in a Cornish oasis made for relaxing. Painstakingly restored, this barn sits within the secluded grounds of a 16th century farmhouse and although wonderfully private, every modern luxury has been considered, from hand-built kitchens and luxury bathrooms to oversized sofas and sumptuous beds. Wander out through the doors from the large living spaces to the terraces and enjoy your own little paradise where there is even an area to play petanque to while away the afternoons.
Complete with a fire pit, barbeque and pizza oven, Songbirds is the perfect place to unwind and eat al fresco as the sun comes down on this little piece of heaven. A decked terrace at the bottom of the garden overlooks the large pond where you can take in the morning chorus with a warm coffee in hand to start the day in the most magnificent way. Don’t forget your camera and binoculars either, as Songbirds welcomes wildlife from all around, with red deer and stoats as well as numerous bird species regularly visiting the area.
