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.

What a find!
Reviewed on 16/06/20227 of us stayed at Burridge House for a week in June 2022 and it was fantastic. Our age range was between 11 and 70 and we all loved it. The photos do not do the place justice, the driveway could easily fit 7 cars, there is a downstairs wet room with toilet, shower along with wetsuit hanging rails, washing machine and tumble dryer. The kitchen is fully equipped with everything you could want and the free bottle of red helped after the journey! The conservatory over looks a massive garden which is beautiful and it leads onto a field which had a few sheep in. The garden has dozens of birds that visit the feeders and you can watch them from the conservatory. There is a bbq and outdoor table and chairs where we enjoyed breakfasts and dinners. The living room has a smart TV with a DVD player, Netflix and I used my prime account as well. There are plenty of books and films to choose from as well as board games in the play room. There are two log burners, one in the living room and one in the kitchen. We lit the living room log burner one evening and it was so nice, there were logs and fire lighters to hand as well. The children loved the play room, they made dens and watched films and even all slept in there one night. The bedrooms are spacious and we found the beds so comfortable. The main bedroom has an en-suite with a bath, separate shower and toilet. There is also a second bathroom as well. So 3 bathrooms in total and towels were provided. There is Wi-Fi which is good as I didnA?t have any signal IA?m with 3, but my wife did have signal with O2. There are bodyboards and windbreaks in the entrance hall which we used and had a great time in at the various beaches we visited. There are a couple of lakes nearby which are worth a trip and we took part in some water activities. We had a couple of lovely walks around the area and there are lots of ordnance survey maps in the house to help plan. The local village of Kilkhampton which is a mile away from the house has a Co-Op, a pub, fish and chips takeaway and itA?s easy to park. We arranged an Asda delivery for the day we arrived and they found the house with no problems. (I did include the directions that was sent to us by the owner in the notes to make sure.) The area is beautiful and peaceful but still very close to so many things to do. I canA?t recommend this house enough and when we holiday in Cornwall next, Burridge House will be the place we stay.

Lovely break with family
Reviewed on 21/04/2022Lovely break with family and the house was beautiful. We had a problem with the cooker on the first morning and contacted the owner. Within a short time this was rectified with a new cooker installed. The house was clean and tidy when we got there the beds were heaven the best we have slept in we believe on our holidays. None of this getting used to it from night one it was lovely. The setting of this house is stunning however whoever said Duckpool was a short walk was obviously a walker ha ha but once we got there it was stunning and we were fortunate enough to meet the lady who owned Duckpool cottage!! Seriously for a family holiday with three different families ie parents two grown up children their partners and children the house was more than big enough to give each of us our own space. The football table was a massive hit with the grandsons and big men alike and many a rowdy evening having a football competition was had! Bude is a beautiful little town and we enjoyed our stay here.

Lovely property
Reviewed on 31/03/2022We had a brilliant 2 weeks stay here, (partly due to amazing sunny weather in March!) the house was perfect for all our family, four generations from 1 to 76! Rooms very comfortable, beds enormous and good bathroom facilities. Having a biggish entrance hall was good for storing shoes and coats, plus the utility room is good for washing and drying clothes etc. Would recommend to anyone, the garden is huge, though secure enough to let the dog roam free, just a big space for poo patrols! Location is lovely, very peaceful and quiet a lovely walk down to the sea.

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
