Comrie

Comrie is a four-bedroom cottage in Bude sleeping 8, rated 4.7/5 from 19 reviews. The combination of hot tub, outdoor pool and wood burner is rare at this price point in North Cornwall - most properties offer one or two, not all three. Crooklets Beach is 200m from the front door; Summerleaze Beach is 700m further along the coast.

Inside, four bedrooms - super-king, king, twin and a bunk room limited to children under 14 - sleep eight across one bathroom. The layout suits families with older and younger children sharing. The wood burner sits in the main living area for evenings off-season.

The hot tub and pool are in the secure garden, which also accommodates parking. Up to three dogs are welcome. Bude town centre is walkable - the canal towpath is worth the 10-minute stroll. The South West Coast Path runs directly through, connecting north to Northcott Mouth (1.3km) and south into the town.

Best for families or two couples wanting beach access without giving up the pool-and-hot-tub combination. Less suited to large groups - a single bathroom across eight beds will test patience in the mornings. Those needing two bathrooms or accessibility features should look at the accessible variant of this property instead.
