Gaze out towards the lake from this welcoming Cornish lodge. Sleeping four guests, the two-bedroom holiday home is set on a leafy park near Kilkhampton, 5.5 miles from Bude. Guests are not only well-positioned for the coast and the countryside, but they can also make the most of shared on-site facilities, including the swimming pool, sauna, tennis courts and games room, as well as the fishing lake.
Make your way into the modern retreat, which has an unusual triangle shape. At the heart of the cottage is an open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner, with exposed, natural wood beams. Gather in front of the Smart TV for movie nights, take turns at whipping up culinary creations in the kitchen and sit down to holiday feasts at the round table. Unwind together between your adventures, play family games and open the doors to the patio on fine days to bring in a cool breeze. As each day away in Cornwall draws to a close, climb the open-tread wooden stairs up to the first floor, where the bedrooms are positioned. Here you have a double and twin, both with sloping walls due to the unusual shape of the lodge. Take in the lake views from your private patio. Have breakfast, lunch and dinner out here as often as possible, sometimes cooking outside on the BBQ. Go for a swim, take the children to the play area and have a knock about on the court. There is parking for one car beside the lodge, with additional space nearby.
Grab your costumes, towels and surfboards and venture 3.5 miles to Sandymouth Bay for the afternoon. Summerleaze Beach, 6 miles away, with its tidal pool, is a popular destination for families. Tamar Lakes, 3 miles away, is a great day out for those who enjoy canoeing, kayaking and paddleboarding.
