About this property

A charming character cottage very close to beaches and town, off street parking

Brannel cottage is a delightful terraced cottage, situated between the canal and the river Neet, and a short walk from Bude town centre, Summerleaze and Crooklets beaches.

The cottage is much larger than it looks and combines traditional charm with 21st century convenience. Recent enhancements include a fitted kitchen with granite worktops, induction hob and dishwasher, a newly fitted bathroom upstairs and a wetroom with underfloor heating on the ground floor. The cottage has gas central heating, instant hot water and a delightful courtyard garden with BBQ, table and chairs. There is off street parking for 1 car.

This cottage is deceptively large with two sitting rooms (1 with sofabed), dining room, kitchen and wet-room downstairs; unusual stairs split into two directions and lead to 3 bedrooms (double, twin and small single) and a main bathroom. The courtyard garden has a built-in BBQ, patio table and chairs for 6 and there is parking for 1 car via the rear access lane. Pet owners can bring 1 dog on request and for a small extra fee - pets are not allowed in the bedrooms.

Bude is an unspoilt resort on the north Cornish coast set in an area of great natural beauty. Summerleaze and Crooklets beaches are easily accessible on foot and Widmouth beach - popular with surfers, is just 3 miles along the coast. There is also a tide-washed natural swimming pool and beach lifeguards in attendance.
Close by there are public tennis courts, mini-golf, library, restaurants, pubs, a children's playground and a leisure-centre with indoor swimming pool and bowling alley. There are 4 large supermarkets in the vicinity and the cottage is almost next door to a post-office shop which is open 7 days a week. The River Neet and the Bude Canal are close by offering scenic walks and fishing (permit required).

Many guests return year on year to enjoy the unique position of the cottage and the delights of North Cornwall.

Family Cottage Coastal Bude
Comfortable cottage in Bude. Central to all amenaties. Property is much more spacious than it appears. Enclosed courtyard garden with private seating. Parking at rear of property is very useful. Property is very well equipped and comfortable, traditional furnishings with modern features and appliances. It is on a busy road but this isn't noticeable once inside the property and the rear garden is quiet. Close proximity to scenic canal river and beach. Also local bars and hotel restaurant. We had a lovely time and didn't need to drive. Communication and check in were very good. Hope to return soon.

Great location
The property had the ideal layout for our family holiday. Plenty of space and very clean. We loved being able to walk out of the back gate and be minutes away from the beach or town. There are plenty of bars, restaurants, and shops within a short walk away but the cottage has everything you need to eat at home. Easy booking and check in process. Would stay again.

Lovely family holiday
We had a lovely break in Bude. The house is more spacious than it looks from the outside and has everything in that you need. It is located close to all amenities, but is on a relatively busy road. It is a short walk to the beach, town and the coastal path. The sea pool was a big hit! We would stay here again.

Why they chose this property

We bought Brannel Cottage in 1999 because of its location. We could see that it was perfectly placed in the town - close to the sea, the canal and the town centre. Since 2000 our family and many guests have enjoyed holidays in Bude staying in the cottage many returning year on year.

What makes this property unique

Brannel Cottage is in a brilliant location - you can arrive, park the car and not have to use it until you leave at the end of your holiday! Everything is within walking distance - beaches, coastal walks, town centre with shops, pubs, banks, restaurants, cafes and local attractions.
