Periwinkle

Periwinkle is a single-storey one-bedroom cottage at Atlantic Farm on the Atlantic Highway, around 1.2 miles outside Bude, sleeping 2 in a double. The open-plan kitchen, dining, and living area is compact, and the en-suite shower room has a walk-in shower. Dogs are welcome, and the farm setting means there is open land around the property - practical for dog walking without needing to drive to a beach. There is no garden. Wi-Fi and parking are included, and it is worth asking the owner how many dogs are allowed.

Summerleaze Beach is 1.4 miles into Bude - a wide sandy beach with a tidal sea pool and reliable surf. Crooklets Beach is 1.7 miles north, a surfing and family beach with a cafe and seasonal lifeguard cover. Widemouth Bay is 2.2 miles south, one of the most consistent surf breaks on this stretch of coast with a beach school operating through the season.

Bude itself is a compact town with an independent high street, a castle arts centre, and the Bude Canal - the only ship canal in Cornwall, running south from the harbour. The town can be reached by bike from the cottage via the Atlantic Highway. The North Cornwall coast path runs through Bude connecting Summerleaze and Crooklets.

This suits couples or solo travellers who want a quiet farm base rather than a town-centre stay. Ideal for dog owners who value the farm space. Guests who need step-free access should check with the owner before booking. Works for walkers using the coast path as Bude is a good base for the stretch toward Boscastle and Tintagel to the south. Friday changeover.
