Helebridge House

A six-bedroom house near Marhamchurch sleeping 12, set within 2.6km of Widemouth Bay and 2.8km of Summerleaze Beach at Bude. Contemporary fittings sit alongside period details throughout the house, with a kitchen-diner opening via bi-fold doors onto an enclosed patio and lawn. Rated 4.8 stars from 16 reviews.

Bedrooms offer flexibility: three king-size rooms, two super-king zip-and-link beds (convertible to 3ft singles), and one twin zip-and-link (convertible to a super king). Five bathrooms across the property mean groups can operate without queuing.

The secluded garden includes an outdoor table tennis table and space for a BBQ. Two dogs are welcome. Bude town - with its canal, surf shops, and seafront cafes - lies under 3km away. The South West Coast Path provides cliff-top walking in both directions from Widemouth Bay.

Best for large family gatherings or group celebrations that need flexible sleeping arrangements and direct coastal access. Ideal for mixed-age groups where surf and walking are priorities. Not great for groups needing an accessible layout, as the property is multi-storey.

With WiFi, a dishwasher, washing machine, and five bathrooms between 12 guests, the day-to-day logistics of a large group stay are well-covered. The enclosed patio and lawn also provide a contained outdoor space for children without the need to leave the property.
