Happy Days

Happy Days is a detached three-bedroom house for four in Poughill village, on the edge of Bude, with an open fire and a conservatory that most three-bedroom cottages in the area don't have.

The bedrooms hold a king-size, a double and a single bed across three separate rooms, though the recorded sleeping capacity is four rather than five. One bathroom, with both a bath and a separate shower, serves the group. Wi-Fi, parking, a dishwasher and washing machine are included, and one dog is welcome. There is no wood burner, hot tub or EV charging point.

The enclosed garden has a lawn and decked seating, and the conservatory gives a second place to sit indoors. Crooklets Beach, Bude's main surf beach, is 1.2 miles away, and Northcott Mouth Beach and Summerleaze Beach, home to the tidal Bude Sea Pool, are each a similar distance. Bude town centre, with its restaurants and shops, is under a mile from the house on foot. The Poughill guide covers the village and its coast path connections.

Twenty-five reviews give Happy Days a rating of 4.8 out of 5. **Best for:** a family or friends wanting three separate bedrooms, a conservatory and Bude within walking distance. **Less good for:** five-person groups, guests unwilling to share one bathroom, or anyone needing accessible accommodation or EV charging.
