Otterburn House

A detached 4-bedroom cottage on the edge of Bude, sleeping 8 guests across 2 king-size rooms and 2 twin rooms. An annexe with a double bed is available by prior arrangement for an additional fee.

Both king-size bedrooms have en suite walk-in showers. A family bathroom with bath sits on the first floor, and a ground-floor shower room has a walk-in shower. The merchant notes steps to the front door and steps between some rooms, and describes the main staircase as a little steep. The sitting room has a wood-burning stove - fuel and a starter pack are included in the rental. A separate snug, conservatory, and study give the group room to spread out. The kitchen has double ovens, 2 fridge-freezers, a microwave, dishwasher, and washing machine. Sky TV with cinema and sport packages, plus WiFi, come as standard. Bed linen, towels, and beach towels are all included.

Outside, the garden has a lawn, patio with furniture, a hot tub, table tennis, and a BBQ. There is a pond in the garden, so children need supervision. Ample off-road parking is available. One well-behaved pet is welcome, and additional pets can be brought along by prior arrangement with the owner. Summerleaze Beach is 1.1 miles away, Crooklets Beach 1.5 miles, and Widemouth Bay 2 miles - all accessible within a few minutes by car.

Bude's town centre is close by, with a pub 0.7 miles away and shops at 1.2 miles. The Bude Canal provides flat-water kayaking and swimming, and the South West Coast Path runs in both directions from the town, covering over 30 miles of north Cornwall coastline.

Nearby: Summerleaze Beach (1.1 miles) and Crooklets Beach (1.5 miles). See our Stibb guide for more beaches and walks in the area.

Best for large family groups or multi-generational parties who want a private hot tub and garden space. Less suited to guests who need step-free access, and to families with young children needing constant supervision near the garden pond.
