Property Location
Bude is Cornwall's most northern town and has been a favourite seaside resort since Victorian times. The coastal scenery surrounding the beaches of is quite beautiful, boasting some of the finest sandy beaches and the best surfing in England! The town has excellent facilities and a wide selection of interesting, independent shops. This idyllic area has a large amount of bird life for the dedicated twitcher and some wonderful, scenic walks along the South West coastal path.
The centre of Bude is a lively hub with concerts, dances and fetes as well as other events throughout the season, including an annual Carnival Week. The town has a host of pubs, cafes and restaurants to suit every palate and there is a new Visitors Centre in the Crescent car park, a large children's play area, a 19th century canal and a small wharf amongst many other attractions. Bude is also home to the internationally acclaimed jazz festival which takes place each August.
Further along the coast is Sandymouth, a large beach ideal for families due to its lovely sand, rock pools and tea rooms. A short drive north over the border into Devon leads to the quaint village of Hartland which has a magnificent church with an amazing painted ceiling and one of the tallest towers in England. Hartland Quay has a hotel and Wreckers Bar as the coast here is littered with wrecks and is a lovely spot for some lunch. Also well worth a visit is the world famous fishing village of Clovelly. The cobbled, traffic-free, high street is built into a cleft in a 400' high cliff and tumbles its way down past whitewashed cottages festooned with flowers to the tiny working port.
Kilkhampton, which dates back to before Saxon times is the location of the remains of a 12th century motte and bailey style Norman castle and the church of St James the Great, which is over 450 years old. Both of the two pubs in the village the New Inn and London Inn serve food.

Haven
Reviewed on 21/10/2021Burridge House is in a beautiful, peaceful location but the main road for access to the Cornwall/Devon border area is within easy reach. It provided everything we needed as a group of 5 adults - a well-equipped kitchen, 2 bathrooms and a wet room, a restful lounge plus conservatory, and very comfy beds and bedrooms with plenty of storage space. An excellent self-catering cottage with a thoughtful and welcoming host.

A comfortable large house in a lovely setting.
Reviewed on 02/09/2021The cottage was perfect for a family get together. The owner is very friendly and helpful. The cottage is in a perfect location for Bude and some beautiful beaches. We had a really enjoyable stay. The pond is bit of a hazard with toddlers due to it's close proximity to the patio.

Gorgeous but isolated
Reviewed on 22/07/2021This property is beautiful. Most comfortable beds in a holiday home I've ever had. Sitting in the conservatory watching the birds is a joy. It is isolated and a car is totally necessary. The house is very spacious and well appointed. Recommended most highly

Big and comfortable, quiet and private house, and huge garden.
Reviewed on 27/05/2021So many rooms, photos donA?t do it justice! Garden is lovely to stroll around. Set in a quiet valley (just a farmhouse behind, but no noise and out of sight except for view from master bedroom). Two mile walk through woodland to a dramatic cove (not for swimming, just watching the waves) and very hilly coast path. Tiny lane to get to it. Just sheep and birds for company. A few minutes drive to A39 if you want to explore further afield.

Burridge house in the spring
Reviewed on 07/05/2021We had a fantastic stay at Burridge house. The owner was so welcoming and helpful. The house is beautiful and comfortable. We especially enjoyed the various birds attracted to the birdfeeders, the lambs leaping in the field at the bottom of the garden and the cosy log fire at night. We will definitely book again.

Large enough for personal space in a big family group, cosy enough for a quiet break
Reviewed on 29/10/2020Burridge House is a large comfortable property set in its own grounds giving children plenty of safe space though for toddlers take care about the pond. There are plenty of lawns but also lots of "secret" spaces for hide and seek as well as a few safe climbing trees. The interior is well laid out and very well appointed giving plenty of opportunity to find space for members of a large family whilst offering cosy individual rooms for small groups. Downstairs has plenty of facilities including a large play room and an important wet room/utility for those days when the sun has shone and the sea has been kind. Upstairs the 4 bedrooms are extremely comfortable with generous storage and beds which are a pleasure to sleep in as well as a large family bathroom and an en-suite. Overall we enjoyed our stay, the local town Kilkhampton has plenty of facilities including a local Co-Op, a butchers and a good chippie. Meanwhile it's possible to get to most of the best beaches of North Cornwall and West Devon in less than 45 mins with some much closer. We would definitely recommend the property
