  • "Auverne is a wonderful property in a perfect location."

    We stayed for two weeks and we were so comfortable; the owners even included toys and games so my 4 year old had lots of fun on the rainy days. The view from all windows was absolutely beautiful and the neighbours sheep was a lovely little addition to make us smile in a morning. The whole family would definitely stay again, and any queries or problems the owners were happy to help.

    Thank you so much for staying at Auverne, we’re so glad you had such a lovely 2 weeks and it was a pleasure to help you get the most out of your stay. Please come back anytime! Jenna & family Property Owner

  • "This was our third stay at Auverne, which we again greatly enjoyed."

    The house is large and comfortable, and is very well appointed with all you could need. It is also perfectly situated for trips around both North Devon and Cornwall, with many villages and attractions being within easy striking distance. We stayed here as a family, with our children and grandchildren, and would definitely recommend it.

  • "An absolutely ideal house for the whole family."

    we had the entire set with 2 of us over 66, an almost 60, 2 in their mid 30s and 2 babes under 2 and a half. Our weather was awful, but the house was a cosy base to get the most out of visits to the Eden Project, Newquay Aquarium and the blowy seafront walks. Would love to come back to the Bude area in better climes sometime in the next couple of years. PS - our host Jenna could not have been more welcoming.

    We all agreed it was a really wonderful place to stay. Plenty of space and very homely, it was a pleasure to be there. We had everything we needed, thanks to the care they have taken to ensure visitors are well catered for. The Games Room was a bonus for the children and adults alike. Auverne is in a wonderful location with a beautiful outlook from the kitchen. And everywhere is so accessible – we visited the local beaches as well as all the fabulous places on offer to visitors, in that area of Cornwall.

  • "The owners were proactive & emailed useful information before our holiday, they also sent a text message on our arrival day which was much appreciated The nearest beach is too far to walk with children & there is no path on the small & windy road so you do really need to drive."

    The kitchen was well equipped, but the bottom draw of the freezer was difficult to push back in because of the ice underneath. The ensuite shower water pressure was low & the temperature was irratic. There is a piece of metal pertruding in the garden which we noticed after the grass was cut. We did report both these issues to the owners so I am sure they will be rectified. Overall we throughly enjoyed our stay, the property has plenty of room for a family of 7, & having a big garden was definitely beneficial. There is plenty to do & there are some really nice beaches to choose from.

  • "Everything was in good order and working as it should."

    Only issue was that one of the settees in the lounge was very low indeed and for my wife and I (both over 70 and with poorly backs) it was a mission to get up and down. It was the one in front of the log fire which given the time of year was where we wanted to sit and be cosy in the evenings. Otherwise everything was great and a super base to explore the surrounding area.

    Can't believe how nice it was!! It had everything we needed plus some. Dining area in the conservatory which was very pleasant to sit it. The living room was delightful and the garden was absolutely lush. Nice area to visit. A lovely walk from the holiday home to Millook Haven. This is one of the very best holiday homes we have stayed in and we've stayed in many!! Can't recommend enough.

  • "The whole family loved our stay."

    The house was spacious and we didn't feel cramped at all, also lovely and light. Plenty of outside space for four very active grandchildren, who loved the garden and watching the rabbits who came into the garden every morning and watching the sheep in the field behind the garden. The garden has enough space for a gentle kick about with a ball which the children loved, plenty of car parking on the driveway. The area is very quite with some really lovely gentle walks locally. The beaches, which are very good are no more than about ten minutes drive away with restaurants and toilets, eccentrical with small children. We especially loved Summerleaze beach in Bude, huge beach with seawater swimming pool, also lovely little rock pools on the beach for the very small members of the family, even some of the older members of the family! Would go again anytime. Thanks to the very helpful owners.

The property

Widemouth Bay 2.2 miles.

A bright and contemporary property, Auverne enjoys a lovely position in the small village of Poundstock, near the Cornish coast.

An open-plan living space stretching the length of the property makes wonderful use of the space; soak up the abundance of light within the dining area thanks to the conservatory glass roof and windows, it is a wonderful setting to enjoy a family meal, flooding in light even on a rare dull day.

Move into the sitting area and rest on one of the two large sofas, feeling warmed by the woodburning stove as you relax watching a Netflix film on the Smart TV.

The kitchen offers beautiful views out to the garden and the fields beyond, and includes an electric oven, induction hob and a dishwasher.

The ground floor hosts three of the four bedrooms, including a master double with en-suite.

Another king (or twin on request) bedroom and a twin bedroom rest here too, as well as the ground-floor bathroom which has a bath and separate walk-in shower.

Head upstairs and be welcomed straight into the fourth bedroom beneath the sloping ceiling with Velux windows.

Outside in the garden you can delight in relaxing with a view at the outdoor dining area on the decking, with views to the Cornish countryside and a large lawn for children to enjoy.

Bring along your bikes and store them in the lower-ground-floor storage, with a games room here too with a pool table/table tennis set up.

Auverne is less than two miles from Black Rock Beach which rests on the south side of Widemouth Bay, home to a wealth of rugged beauty, with the beach's major point and reef breaks attracting surfers.

Book an activity with Outdoor Adventure, a company based at Widemouth Bay, offering lessons in surfing and coasteering, as well as group activities and adventures, perfect for a group on holiday!

Hire bikes at the canal for a chance to explore the local waterways.

Excellent for dog walking.

Head up the coast to Bude to enjoy the many attractions here, with plenty of restaurants and pubs to indulge in a delicious meal and some drinks, and several beaches to choose from to practice surfing, as well as the amazing Bude Sea Pool providing non-surfers a great place to swim.

Walkers can follow the South West Coast Path to explore the coast and experience some beautiful scenery, coming across some charming coastal villages and beaches along the way.

The village of Tintagel is home to Tintagel Castle and the King Arthur sculpture, presenting a great holiday photo opportunity with the idyllic seascape filling the background.

Enjoy a Cornish escape and stay at the lovely Auverne.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £250.
