The place
A stunning cottage surrounded by patchwork fields and pockets of woodland on Dux Farm – it’s not just beautiful scenery here – you can wander the 23 acres on site on a circular walk with the dog, stretching your legs together before you’ve even had breakfast (not mandatory for you late risers). A short drive can take you to Sandymouth, Widemouth, Bude, or to any of the smaller coves that litter the coast all the way to Tintagel – offering sandy sprints and coastal walks to get the four-legged friends exercised for the day. Or inland, you can head to the local market towns to explore. At your space, you’ve a modern kitchen to prepare any local ingredients you manage to pick up on your adventures, a comfy L-shape sofa for afternoon naps together by the crackling wood burner, even a bathtub for the two legged and an outdoor wash station for the four!
