Believed to have been established in Roman Times, Stratton indulges guests with its olde-world feel made up of historic buildings, narrow streets, and a homely local pub, set just down the road from the cottage itself. Bude is a short 1.5-mile drive away and has a lovely array of local shops and fine eateries serving up all sorts of delicacies. The town is a surfers' paradise with a choice of three golden sandy beaches to enjoy, as well as an award-winning golf course and easy access to the South West Coast Path, which is a top trail for guests to hop onto. Being conveniently located just off the A39, the retreat provides easy access to many top South West attractions including The Milky Way Adventure Park (15 miles) and the mythical Tintagel (20 miles), famed for the legends of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table.

 Stepping into this beautiful property you will immediately notice the fine attention to detail and stylish interiors it has on offer. Head into the porch area which is the ideal spot to pull off those walking boots after a day of exploring the North Cornwall coastline, before continuing on through into the spacious open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner. This open-plan area exudes luxury and comfort with cushy seating and a Smart TV for watching your favourite films on. The kitchen provides everything you need for a stress-free, relaxing stay, whilst the dining table seats all guests.

The ground floor is completed with a downstairs utility room. Making your way up the stairs will bring you to the four bedrooms and a beautiful contemporary family bathroom.

Dowr Gwel is a gem of a property. Upon arrival we were greeted with a lovely welcome pack and a spotlessly clean home.
