“The road, although very narrow, appears to be a known route into Bude, and carries a lot of commuter and local traffic, especially in mornings and evenings.”

It is difficult to reverse a car out of the parking space at these times. Apart from these relatively minor points, we thought that Easterly Cottage was a great place to stay.
Mrs Smith October 2019

“Great cottage location with pub 5 doors down and nice walking distance to Bude and Northcote Mouth beach .”
Mrs Shaw August 2019

“It would be great to have a washing machine!”

The location is very convenient for exploring beyond Bude. We visited Clovelly, Port Isaac, Widemouth Bay and Padstow for example. Perfect for my husband and i and our dog. There was confusion over the check in time which was originally communicated as 3pm but we were told 4pm on the day of arrival. As check out is 10 am i would have expected an earlier check in time anyway. The information book in the Cottage also states 11 am departure time and 3 pm check-in time so there does seem to be a miscommunication between the owner and Sykes Cottages which can be easily remedied by both parties. Other than that we would return.
Mrs Nicholls August 2019

“The cottage was neat and cosy.”

The dogs loved it too. We know the area well, it was easy access to drive to dog friendly beaches and coastal walks, supermarkets too. The weather was mixed so we did not use the well kept pretty garden much, but it had a lovely view and comfy chairs if needed. TV screens were huge and all options worked well. We had a few comments for housekeeper who answered text promptly. Washing machine could have helped if you could squeeze it in! Thanks!

“Really lovely cottage everything we needed.”

Pub 85 yards good traditional beer and food ate there 3times and was great
Mr Elwell June 2019

“The cottage had clearly been recently refurbished to a high standard, and very sympathetically.”

Spotlessly clean. Perfectly situated next to a great village Pub. Off road parking, and a lovely secluded garden to boot! Can't fault the place. Well worth every penny. A beautiful piece of Cornish history.
Mr Abell June 2019

“Lovely cottage, clean and well equipped.”

Lovely garden to sit out in. A one minute stroll to a lovley village pub which served good food and welcomed dogs.
Mr Stanley May 2019

“The location of the cottage is ideal for visiting attractions on the North Cornwall coast.”

The local pub is just 100yds away and serves excellent food, although I would recommend booking particularly at weekends. Overall this is one of the best cottages I have stopped at in Cornwall.
Mrs Hemming May 2019

“Very pretty cottage and small private court yard garden.”

Exceptionally clean throughout. Able to walk to the beach within 20 minutes but be aware a short section of the road from the cottage is without a footpath and can be busy at rush hour times. Local pub serves delicious food but you may need to book a table.
Mr Mullucks May 2019

“We had a lovely week in the cottage which we found to be exceptionally clean, with plenty of towels (not just the bare minimum which we have found in other cottages.”

) The location of the cottage is quite good being only a couple of minutes drive from Bude which is our favourite cornish town.There is a dishwasher which we did'nt use but would have preferred a washing machine. But all in all we loved the cottage and out of interest we would love to know how old it actually is? We guess about 350 years old? Lovely 2ft thick walls-fascinating!
Mrs Sullivan May 2019

“Very happy to have found this last minute venue.”

Slightly concerned for parking of large vehicle parking,but managed to manoeuvre our small camper. All in all we had a lovely week.The local is very laid back and good for food&drink.
Mrs Doyle April 2019

“Easterly cottage was a lovely little cottage just perfect for the two of us and our dog, the garden was fully secure which put our minds at rest as soon as we got there.”

The cottage was beautifully clean and well equipped, the bed was very comfortable and to have a tv in the bedroom was good to.Overall we had a lovely time and were sad to come home, would definitely stay there again.
Mrs Dayus March 2019

“Cottage lovely really warm on cold evenings very impressed with shower.”

Our Welsh terrier loved the enclosed rear garden, pub 1min away with real ale and wonderful food please be aware of the very large portions. Many thanks from us both.
Miss Wathen February 2019

“This weekend was absolutely perfect for us!”

The cottage is stunningly beautiful and just as described. The off road parking was perfect as the road was a little busy and slightly narrow so it's great to have a driveway, the little green was lovely, would be great to use in summer for bbq bbq breakfast etc. Loved the woodburner andbthe smart TVs, the bed was so comfy too! So full of character, beautifully decorated, everything you need was provided. 1minute walk to the local pub where there was live bands and fantastic food! The only thing that we could say if we are trying to find a negative would be, bath sheets instead of bath towels. Perfect we hope to return some time soon. :)
Mr Churchman December 2018

“Lovely cottage, comfortable for 2 people and a dog, thought of everything, dog settled in straight away, 6 min drive to the beach, and walking distance to the pub, great location!”

Spot on. Will definetly book again!

“Tucked Away Romantic Cottage”

Decided to take a late one week break on the wild North Cornwall coast with my dog and do some walking on the nearby South West Coastal Path. Easterly Cottage seemed to have just the right balance of character and amenities I was looking for, with its close proximity to the coast and being pet friendly. One always books these places with some trepidation and with the suspicion that there might be something horrible and undisclosed. It was with some relief and the most pleasant of surprises to find that Easterly Cottage is exactly as you would want it to be. Located within minutes of down town Bude and also several other more secluded but charming coastal locations. Its amenities are of excellent quality and comprehensive, all as described, so no further comment is required on that front. Clean and beautifully presented, it is a truly classic cottage. Characterful and charming throughout with its open fire place and exposed beams.............. and my favourite feature of all.............the balcony bedroom with a huge king sized bed. All this and,at the same time, blended tastefully with a modern kitchen and shower room. Whilst I rented the cottage for myself and the dog, it is most definitely a romantic, cosy "getaway from it all" sort of place and one that I will most certainly return to. Two minor points to mention....that in my opinion do not detract overall from the place are: 1 - Ploughill is clearly a rat run for traffic heading to and from Bude, so at certain times of the day the traffic noise is rather more than would otherwise be desirable. 2- Keeping the Log Burner alight can be a challenge. I am well used to log burners but if visitors are coming in the Autumn or Winter I suggest that you come armed with plenty of kindling and firelighters to throw at the thing to keep it going when it starts to flag! Neither of these are deal breakers but, for balance sake, need to be recorded. Highly recommended.

“Easterly cottage is a lovely extremly pleasant place to stay.”

Great cottage more than enough for me my wife an two golden a great place to stay nice pub in village and dog friendly will definitely go again
Mrs Stone September 2018

“Lovely comfortable cottage, all you needed and more.”

Location was great, able to access areas easily around us. Local pub was friendly and the food was good. We were a little concerned when we read a review that suggested it was small. Well we thought it was perfect even with two large dogs. Some people may find the traffic noise a bit too much in the morning, but although we were aware of it, it didn't worry us as everything else was perfect.
Mrs Kidby September 2018

“A fantastically positioned little cottage that was ideal for our stay.”

Just a mile outside of Bude it was so easy to go and explore for the day and come back to as a welcome retreat. Any couple plus dog will have a wonderful time!
Ms Wood August 2018

“It’s a lovely cottage just road is excessively busy all the time.”

Cottage is nice but smaller than looks in the picture. For the money we could have got better.
Mr Igo July 2018

“You should mention in the description that it is on a hill which may be an issue for people with poor mobility.”

The cottage was excellent and suited our purposes but one draw back was the traffic which was constant throughout the day and loud even with the windows closed.
Mrs Redfearn June 2018

“A beautifully appointed cottage with everything we needed and more.”

We would certainly recommend the property. All very clean and comfortable.

About the location

BUDE

Tintagel 17 miles.

Bude is a fabulous coastal town that once visited you will want to come back to time and time again. Bude has something for everyone, great beaches for relaxing, and building sandcastles on, rockpools for investigating at low tide and cafes to watch it all from. The rolling waves are great for surfing all year round, and the footpaths by the restored canal or on the North Cornwall coastal path offer you a superb opportunity to explore and appreciate the outstanding countryside. Bude also has a superb golf course, indoor swimming pool, bowling alley/indoor play area and Heritage Centre at Bude Castle. It also has a good selection of local shops, supermarkets, cafes, pubs, restaurants and excellent Information Centre. Within a short drive are the remains of a huge iron age hill fort at Warbstow Bury, from where panoramic views can be seen. For days out, take the coast road north to see the lonely lighthouse above the sea at Hartland Point or walk or ride a donkey down the steep and cobbled village street (no cars allowed) of beautiful Clovelly to the harbour and the pub far below. Follow the coast in the other direction and there's the little cove of Crackington Haven, Boscastle, King Arthur's castle at Tintagel, Doc Martin's Port Wenn at Port Isaac and yet more great surfing beaches at Polzeath.
