Thatchings

Thatchings is a 3-bedroom cottage in Stratton, the historic market town beside Bude with a 13th-century church tower and a Civil War battle site on its edge. It sleeps 6 across 2 bathrooms, with parking, Wi-Fi, a private garden, dishwasher and washing machine included, and dogs are accepted.

Stratton itself sits half a mile from Bude town centre, giving easy access to Bude's shops, restaurants and the Tree Inn, a 16th-century pub that once served as Royalist headquarters during the Civil War.
