The Ferns

The Ferns is a ground-floor apartment for four, with a Bude postal address and Warbstow parish as the nearest place name, a quiet rural setting rather than a coastal one. The two bedrooms comprise a king size room and a twin whose zip-link beds can be arranged as a double. Two bathrooms give each room useful capacity, and host Robert manages the booking.

The open-plan living area includes a pool table, while a freestanding bath adds another option beyond the showers. Outside, the apartment has a large garden with countryside views and a private hot tub. Wi-Fi, parking, a dishwasher and a washing machine are included, and up to two dogs can stay.

Widemouth Bay is 5.2 miles away, a two-mile stretch of sand with reliable surf for all abilities. Millook Beach, known for its dramatically folded cliff strata rather than swimming, is 5.3 miles away, and Summerleaze Beach, home to Bude's tidal sea pool, is 7.3 miles from the apartment. A car is the realistic way to reach the coast from this inland setting, though Warbstow Bury, an Iron Age hillfort with views across the Ottery valley, is closer to hand.

The Ferns holds a 5 out of 5 rating, though that score came from only two reviews. No current guide price appears.

**Best for:** Four guests wanting two bathrooms, a hot tub, pool table, large garden and countryside outlook.

**Less good for:** Visitors seeking a beach within walking distance, step-free access or EV charging.
