Peren Cottage Bude

Peren Cottage is a 1-bedroom barn conversion near Marhamchurch, North Cornwall, sleeping 2 in a double bedroom with space for a travel cot. The open-plan interior looks out over quiet countryside, and the cottage sits within a small site offering a notably generous set of shared facilities for its size: a heated outdoor swimming pool, hot tub, tennis court, and games room.

The conversion retains the original barn's proportions with exposed beams and a spacious feel unusual for a couple's property. EV charging is available on site, which is still relatively uncommon in this part of North Cornwall. There's no dishwasher or washing machine, but the property is fully dog-friendly, with a BBQ for outdoor meals. Wifi and parking are included.

Widemouth Bay is about 1.9 miles - a wide stretch of sand with reliable surf, lifeguards in summer, and on-site surf hire. Bude town is about 2.5 miles north with a tidal sea pool at Summerleaze Beach, independent shops, and the Castle Heritage Centre. The Bude Canal towpath provides flat walking and cycling into the countryside directly from town.

Best for: couples or a pair with a baby wanting countryside calm, good surf nearby, and shared resort-style facilities. Less good for: anyone expecting fully self-contained amenities - no dishwasher or washing machine on site.
