Just a short walk from Crooklets Beach and the glorious coastal path in the popular seaside town of Bude, this delightful Grade II listed holiday cottage nestles in a small hamlet and is the perfect choice for a family escape or a relaxing retreat with friends. Dating back to the 14th century and boasting its own large walled garden, Tremaer retains many original features, including exposed beams, stained glass and a large stone fireplace with clome bread ovens. The welcoming family kitchen houses an Aga and on cooler evenings the wood-burning stove gives the spacious living room a cosy glow.
A separate stable conversion provides a games room with pool table, table tennis and video player. Although not detached this spacious holiday property has a feeling of seclusion and the two en-suite master bedrooms make it ideally suitable for two families.
Dramatically perched on the North Cornish Coast, Bude retains its Victorian charm whilst offering something for everyone. In addition to a wealth of shops, inns and restaurants, Bude offers 3 large sandy beaches, popular with sun bathers, surfers and families alike - one beach even has a large seawater swimming pool. There is an 18-hole golf course, Splash leisure centre with fun pool, tennis, squash and ten-pin bowling in Bude. Delightful walking can be found along the coast, with the North Cornwall Coastal Footpath offering pleasant scenery and opportunities for bird-watching and fishing. Horse riding is also available nearby. A trip to the ruined castle of Tintagel, set upon its rocky outcrop and bearing legends of King Arthur and Camelot, should certainly feature on any itinerary.
For those seeking to get away from it all, the wild heaths and moors of Dartmoor beckon further afield – here visitors can walk amid some of Britain’s most unspoilt landscapes. Situated in an ideal spot for touring the whole of Devon and Cornwall. Shop ½ mile.
The property was clean and space. The games room is a great feature. The garden is charming and very spacious. Fantastic location .
On arrival, we had to hunt for an almost inaccessible key safe, and then grapple to unlock the back door in order to open the gate to park the cars in the garden. The garden itself looked unkempt and unwelcoming with a number of filthy, plastic garden chairs scattered amongst the trees and upturned on the grass; there were two broken, plastic tables with their legs cast asunder; these were also covered in birds' mess. We had to vacuum the main double bedrooms, living room and kitchen before we unpacked as they were alive with spiders' webs and the resulting dead flies. The toilet seat in the upstairs en suite was broken. The bath towels were too small, old and worn (only one bath sheet between seven of us). ALL The plates in the kitchen were covered in a layer of mould: I think they had been put away straight from the dishwasher undried. There was no oven glove. The small patio was covered in scrub and weeds; the patio furniture was also filthy (even though I cleaned the table and chairs the area was too unkempt to sit in). Of course, we could have complained but we didn't want our holiday completely ruined by people coming and cleaning when we were trying to relax, so we did it ourselves. We also live in a grade II listed building but manage to maintain the property. The surrounding area is lovely.
Our stay August, 2019
The cottage is lovely. However the place could do with a little TLC. Some parts are looking a little shabby. The garden is fantastic, and the games room was good fun. The WiFi did not reach too all parts off the house, and none of the TVs worked. (not that that was an issue).
