About this property
Bude 4.8 miles. Atlantic View is located in the sleepy hamlet of Poundstock, near to the bustling town of Bude. This spacious abode offers a lovely base for families to call home while exploring the North Cornwall coast, discovering many hidden coves and sandy beaches along the way. After parking up in the gravel driveway, take a moment to appreciate the rural surroundings instantly putting you at ease, before heading inside. Discover the sitting room after a day of exploring, where you can lounge on the leather sofa before the electric fire, searching for something good to watch or simply discussing the holiday so far. Carry the conversation into the kitchen/diner where the chef of the group can relish in a range of modern appliances, including an electric oven and hob, microwave, fridge/freezer, while just off the kitchen lies a utility with a washing machine so you aren’t short of amenities. Continue the evening outside to the patio furniture, ideal for some alfresco dining as the little ones play on the lawned area and your canine companion stretches their legs. Choose from four delightful bedrooms; on the ground-floor rests a double with French doors to the patio, ideal for those with limited mobility, while two further doubles and a twin can be found upstairs, each touched up with crisp white bed linen and plush duvets. Serving these bedrooms is a bathroom with bath and shower over, perfect for a lazy soak for a quick rinse, while there is also a shower room on the ground floor. The final piece of the interior is the cosy snug room, positioned on the first floor where you can getaway from the group and enjoy a quiet read, or open the patio doors to access the furnished balcony, offering a sunny spot for a gin and tonic. When you’re ready to explore, head over to Widemouth Bay, a huge sweep of surf and sand offering your nearest beaches, including Summerleaze and Crooklets, which have fantastic surfing conditions to test, as well as fascinating rock pools for exploration. Those avid golfers can test their swing at a number of secluded golf courses while anglers can try their hand at a spot of fishing. Learn about local history at Castle Bude, a Grade II listed building built in 1830 and stunning river views, or head further afield to Port Isaac, where you can visit King Arthur’s castle at Tintagel or ride the waves at Polzeath. Atlantic View is a great touring cottage for you and your loved ones, whatever time of year.
Bude is a magnificent coastal town that has been attracting visitors for many years. Offering something for everyone, including beaches for sunbathing, rockpools for investigating and cafes to watch it all from, Bude provides a range for holidaymakers.

Location was near to Bude and lots of great beaches . The house was equipped with everything we needed for a comfortable stay . Unfortunately the tumble dryer was out of action and the downstairs bathroom had an unpleasant smell . The cushions on sofas had seen better days .

It was extremely well equipped, we are a family that likes to cook, & to find all the utensils & other equipment we needed was brilliant & really added to our enjoyment. The secure garden was of great benefit as we had 2 lively dogs with us, they loved to be able to wander at will. The accommodation set up worked very well, with the downstairs bedroom, toilet & shower making life very easy for my elderly mother. I would highly recommend this property, the owners obviously care a great deal about it & the holiday experience they are providing. One tiny bit of feedback - & this is only to aid the owners, it is in no way a complaint - is that the rotary washing line in the back garden is old, rusting, & has a broken arm. It is not in a usable condition. I am only providing this feedback as I feel the condition of the washing line detracts from the luxury nature of the rest of the house & facilities.
