Seagull Cottage

Our second visit to Seagull cottage was just as amazing as the first!

We love it and feel really at home. The cottage has everything that you could ever need, is extremely well maintained, and is only a short walkable distance from two beautiful beaches. We had the mist fantastic holiday.

A great cottage just 5 minutes walk from a sandy beach with surfing waves

Beautiful cottage, very clean felt at home , 2nd time staying, unfortunately I fell in the bedroom on my 2nd day, and managed to break 2 legs off of the bedside table in the downstairs bedroom, I rang Al the next day to tell him, he was lovely about the table ,and came to collect it both Al & Jo seemed concerned about me .

...would definitely stay again..... easy for me to get to Crookletts on my mobility scooter...... thanks for the use of your cottage Chris x

Fantastic stay as always , lovely welcome package of bread butter milk cakes and wine All beds very comfortable and the views lovely will be back next year

Everything about the property was perfect.

The sea views were fabulous. Off street parking very useful. The accommodation and fixtures and fittings were good quality and had everything you could need for a self catering stay. The heating was very very efficient and at time too hot. You wont be cold on a winter stay here. The only improvement (and this is a Sykes task) is to have a full and accurate inventory of the property to allow guests to only bring what they need to. On more than one cottage visit I asked Sykes if the property had an X,Y and Z and was told no only to find on arrival that the property did have all the things I was told were not there. I am sure owners would be more than happy to prepare this information and Sykes just need to make it available via a link on their website.

Had a most enjoyable week at Seagull Cottage.

Very pleasant and very quiet which is what we like. Cottage was lovely and well thought through. The things I missed was a washing up bowl, would be nice to have a dish cloth and sponge, something to clean the bath would be good and the bottom of the shower door needs a good clean otherwise it was perfect.

This was our second time staying at Seagull Cottage - it’s in a great location with sea views and a short walk to Crooklets beach - off street parking for 1 car is a great bonus

This was our second visit to Seagull Cottage and it was as wonderful as the first!

Once again, we found the cottage to be very clean, well equipped and its location is second to none. I must also add how welcoming and responsive the owners are, you really do feel that they want you to have the best holiday possible. They truly understand the small details that can make a holiday and that’s appreciated. As a family (2 parents, 2 teens) we love Bude and have been many times over the years. The local beaches are stunning and a staple for us to surf and bodyboard, this year we also enjoyed hiring SUPs on the canal (the day the waves were too much and the beach was red flagged). Bude has something for everyone and for us is a gem on the North Cornwall coastline.

We had the very best time at Seagull Cottage and we would love to come back; a week was not long enough!

The accommodation has everything that anyone could need and was extremely comfortable. The owners have thought of everything! The arrival gifts of drink and food were such a lovely surprise. The views were superb and the proximity to Crooklets and Summerleaze Beaches was fabulous; with a young child, this was absolutely perfect. Thank you so much.

We found Seagull cottage really nice and very comfortable and very well equipped.

We holiday in Bude every year but it appears we have now found our favourite place to stay.

The house is beautifully situated and very well laid out inside. We simply couldn't fault it, we have already booked to stay again and for longer next time. Thank you for a lovely stay.

Absolutely loved the house and location.

The owners welcome was very friendly and helpful. Literally the only point to mention was we could have done with another clothes drying rack( there was biblical rain one day and we completely ran out of places for all the big wet stuff) would definitely recommend the cottage and hopefully will come again

Review

Seagull Cottage was a great holiday cottage for us staying in August 2024.

(4 adults and 2 children between 5 and 12). The cottage was impeccably cleaned, stylish and modern, and the welcome hamper of local produce was a thoughtful and kind touch (especially after travelling). The ground floor bedrooms suited our family needs brilliantly too, as some mature adults in our party were better without stairs. We also appreciated the additional single bed in the dressing upstairs when our youngest child wanted to be near us. The kitchen was very well equipped and there was a good stock of games and dvds for non beach days. Parking on the driveway for one car but we managed to park the other car on the road outside without too much trouble. Crooklets beach is a five minute walk away (a lovely view of the beach out the lounge window), and Sainsbury's is a 20 minute stroll for groceries, though we did an online shop to arrive on the evening we got there for ease. Bude main town is just passed Sainsbury's and has some lovely shops and eateries too. The owners of Seagull Cottage kept in contact with us and I felt that if there had been any issues, they would have sorted them straight away. It really was a great place to stay for our family holiday.

Al the owner was very helpful.

A lovely property with beautiful views over Crooklets Beach. The cottage was very well equipped. All we missed was a washing line - but appreciate that there was a washer / dryer. Very lovely property, excellent location, nice welcome pack on arrival.

Lovely property, everything we needed for a great holiday.

Another wonderful week at Seagull cottage.

Al and Jo made sure our stay was comfortable and provided a lovely welcome pack in the fridge. Highly recommend this property, well maintained, close to the sea and a short walk to town. We look forward to another visit next year.

This is the second time we have stayed at seagull cottage, and the only time we've ever returned to a cottage twice.

We just love the location and the lay out of the property. Welcoming with bread, wine, cheese on arrival and spotlessly clean. Nothing is amiss and nothing lacking with a fully stocked home from home feel at the cottage. It's extremely quiet at night. The little touches really make it special. Comfy beds, hot showers. Parking is a breeze with the private drive and everything is on the door step; straight ahead is the sea (lovely sea views too), right goes into Bude with a local Sainsburys and left you are straight onto Maer downs cliff tops where the walks are truly the most scenic. Also only a short hop over the cliffs to Northcott mouth and Sandymouth beaches. Eating out is great in Bude with our particular favourite being The Bank at Bude for Tapas and Rosies (also a stones throw from the property). Crooklets beach has so much North cornish charm, and is such that there's always a bit of beach to sit on even when the tide is in, Summerleaze is the adjoining beach with the sea pool which you can walk to at low tide. Don't hesitate to book if you are considering seagull cottage, its a box ticker, you won't be disappointed!

We are a party of 6 - 2x grandparents 2x parents 2 children under 8.

The accommodation was perfect in that the parents and children had the ground floor and we had self contained upstairs. Very easy access to Crookletts beach away from the busier side of town. We had a small hitch with locking the door when we arrived which was very quickly resolved by the host who was very approachable. Great facilities throughout. If I was to make one suggestion it would have been good if one of the rooms downstairs could have twin beds but this would only have been a preference and in no way was a deal breaker. Our 5 yr old grandson cried when we left because he wants t to o live at Seagull Cottage! Thank you Al and Jo for all the goodies.

Lovely property, great location, nice & clean and very well appointed.

Home from home

Excellent property with off road parking, sea views and an easy short stroll to the beach.

Several off road walks into Bude, or along the beaches at low tide! We had an idyllic holiday thankyou!

Fabulous week away for the family-really lovely property, really warm and cosy-even through some very wild and windy days!

Had everything you need for a relaxing stay. Easy to walk to the beach and the town from the location. We hope to back!

We enjoyed our Christmas stay at Seagull Cottage so much that we’ve already booked it for Christmas 2024!

It’s a comfortable and cosy cottage in a fantastic location. We would highly recommend it.

This is our second stay in this comfortable cosy home with amazing views of the beach.

We had a great stay, a brilliant position for the beach and a great cafes, easy access to the town. Will be returning again soon

Second time at Seagull Cottage and not disappointed.

Clean, comfortable and easy access to everywhere without using the car. Lovely views. Will return again. Thank you for having us and for the bread, cheese and wine.

We loved our stay at Seagull Cottage.

The property is in a great location and very well maintained - the parking space is a bonus. The owners had left us a helpful note of things to do in the area along with a lovely welcome pack (including very thoughtful and well received treats for the teens). The beds are very comfortable and there is plenty of space in all the rooms and the bathrooms. We are regular visitors to Bude and would definitely book here again. Many thanks for having us to stay :)

Exactly as described.

This is a beautiful property with the most perfect location just a very short walk from Crooklets beach. We had a wonderful week in Bude and would thoroughly recommend booking this accommodation, it has everything you need for a family holiday. Very well resourced. We used the well equipped kitchen facilities to cook a few meals in and also enjoyed a few excellent meals out, would recommend The Deck, L.A.B and the Preston Gate Inn. Perfect holiday spent on the beach and in the wonderful Bude Sea Pool. The owners kindly left us some delicious cheese, fresh bread and wine which was a very kind and a thoughtful touch. During our stay we have a very temporary issue with the WiFi which was resolved immediately via very prompt communication from the owner. Honestly can't fault this accommodation or location. It was ideal.

We had a wonderful week at Seagull Cottage and in Bude.

The cottage is ideally situated on Crooklets beach, a beach that has everything you could wish for; sand, rock-pools, cafes, live music, beach huts, a coastal walk and, particularly for our teens, great surf! The cottage itself is clearly well cared for and maintained by its owners, who left lots of thoughtful touches to help us settle in. The living area is bright and spacious, the kitchen is well stocked, the bedrooms are cosy and comfortable. For our family it was the perfect cottage and I hope we’ll visit again!

Kitchen table legs could do with tightening up We found that bread crumbs and crisp residue had accumulated in the dimples of the grey sofa seat

We stay in Cornwall every year.

This is the first cottage that we have stayed in that ticks our every box! We have just re-booked and we've only ever stayed in the same place twice once before. The location is amazing, sea views from all the back windows. The parking is nice and easy, and a lovely direct route in to the cottage. The beach is just lovely, we have really fallen in love with it. The sea pool is also just on the doorstep. Sunsets are beautiful. Cliff top walks at the top of the lane which lead off onto the loveliest walks. Bude town itself is within easy walking distance where you will find literally everything you need; nice fish and chip shop, cornish pasties, cream teas, seafood. Added bonus of a Sainsburys and Rosie's restaurant just on the doorstep too. Despite it's proximity to the amenities, it is very peaceful and tranquil - no light pollution and we all had a great nights sleep every night. As far as the cottage is concerned, it's clear the owners have intended for it to not be missing a trick and it shows. They really have thought of everything. The beds are comfy with high quality soft linen. The showers are great, 2 bathrooms ideal for a busy family. Welcoming homely decor and the fresh bread and cornish butter with wine on arrival was so good, sliced up and eaten as we unpacked! The little outdoor space at the back has a view of the beach, and is great for drying clothes too. Thank you so much for introducing us to the area, we can't wait to come back next year.

Enjoyed our stay very much.

There were a couple of minor things though. Not much in the way of wardrobe space and half provided was a children’s wardrobe. No bath mats which was a worry especially if like us you are getting “on a bit”. Seagull cottage was very clean and pleasantly furnished and has a view of the sea and beach. Parking for 1 car was great but if there was more than one it could be a problem as there is street parking for the surrounding houses and it is at a premium. The only other negative thing I would say is that one of the ground floor bedrooms is very small and perhaps would have benefited from bunks rather than a double bed for those families taking children. There was no wardrobe space at all in that room. The cottage was easy to find, clean and more than ample for our needs ( but only 2 of us) . Kitchen very well appointed and linen provided was ideal. Very small outside space but was sun facing in the evening. Ideally situated on the outskirts of Bude and very easy to find from directions given.

Amazing holiday again love seagull cottage it was our 3rd time staying and always feels like home from home

Second visit to this lovely cottage.

Well situated with direct access on to the South West Coast path. Warm and cosy with very comfortable beds.

Very comfortable, clean, spacious, cosy and warm with beautiful views.

Will be booking again later in the year. Thank you for a lovely week despite the weather.

This is the second time we have visited now and we love it always clean and comfortable feels like home only suggestion would be a different mattress in the larger ground floor bedroom

Comfortable, relaxing, well maintained and homely, in a superb location with sea views.

What more can you want?

Fantastic place,only suggestion would be a new mattress in large ground floor bedroom.

perfect otherwise.

Very well presented cottage with lots of extras

Tastefully designed and thoughtful touches.

Excellent property.

Great location. Luckily had excellent weather. The only fault we had was the mattresses were rock hard and uncomfortable so we all had lack of sleep. These need to be upgraded then all would be fine.

The location of seagull cottage is amazing with wonderful sea views.

The facilities provided are exceptional and we couldn't think of anything that wasn't provided. We had constant communication prior to our arrival and everything was made easy We cannot recommend this property enough. Thank you for giving us a lovely holiday

A wonderful stay at Seagull Cottage.

Location is fantastic for the Crooklets Beach and no more than a 10 minute walk into town. The cottage itself has everything required for a comfortable stay and spotlessly clean. The views from the living room window are amazing. Communication from the owners was great. We absolutely loved our stay there.

Fantastic holiday cottage clean and tidy and comfortable we will be back

Excellent property in a great location

A comfortable, spacious cottage, within sight and walking distance of the sea.

A good base for exploring the coast, and close to the shops and cafes of Bude. Very comfortable and clean. Would certainly recommend Seagull Cottage. Chris

The cottage is situated literally 400 metres away from the beach and you have wonderful views from your living room.

The cottage is extremely cosy with underfloor heating and beautifully furnished in every room. Only thing that I would have liked is a king sized bed in one of the rooms.

Our stay was beyond delightful.

Totally relaxing in a beautifully presented cottage. It lacked nothing and we relaxed as soon as we went in. Loved it and Bude.

Bude is a lovely town.

Especially liked the sea pool. There's nice walks along the cliffs. Cottage is in a nice quiet area. Could have done with hair dryer, but not a problem.

Lovely cottage and location - will definitely return

Holiday cottage was perfectly located; about a 2 minute walk to crooklets beach, which is beautiful, and a 5-10 minute walk into Bude!

Cottage was very clean and fully equipped with everything we required. The welcome pack was a lovely touch and the owners called on the second day to check that everything was ok. Very happy with our stay and would defo come back again!
