Mannings Barn

This light and airy character cottage is located close to the border of Devon and Cornwall, making it the perfect base to explore these two beautiful counties. Those who enjoy the great outdoors will be very happy here, as you can leave the property on foot and enjoy several miles of woodland and riverside walks in the surrounding area and down to the coast at Marsland Mouth. Just three miles away is a 13th Century pub, The Bush Inn, which is known for its local produce and ales. The town of Bude is a short drive away and offers several beaches, a range of restaurants, cafes, and bars, as well as a mini-golf course and a lovely tidal pool, which means there is always safe bathing, whatever the conditions out at sea.
