Highlights

  • Guests can expect a luxury hamper upon arrival, packed with local treats hand-selected to kick off your visit in style.
  • Foodies, wildlife enthusiasts, outdoors lovers and pretty much everyone else will be delighted by Songbirds, a visually beautiful and perfectly located barn conversion in one of the loveliest regions of Cornwall.
  • Help yourself to vegetables straight from the ground, look out as far as Lundy Island on a clear day, and get struck straight into all of the outdoor activities that the Cornish coastline has to offer!
  • A washer-dry and clothesline mean that whatever the weather you’ll be warm and dry each morning, while heating comes from an underfloor heating and a wood-burning stove.

The details

Just off the North Cornish coast, Songbirds is a recently renovated cottage which sleeps six guests between three bedrooms, available on a self-catered basis. Restored from a former barn building by the current owners, Songbirds is characterised by high ceilings, light-filled rooms, whitewashed walls, and exposed architectural features. A number of brilliant amenities such as the outdoor pizza oven, pond, petanque course and fire pit make it a dreamy place to spend quality time outdoors with friends or family.

The largest of the three bedrooms benefits from a walk-in shower and king-sized bed, while the other two bedrooms have a king sized bed and a versatile set up which can be made up as twin singles or a super-king.

Everything about Songbirds has been judiciously designed with the guests in mind. Both inside and outdoors there is an abundance of seating, living space and entertainment amenities. On a rainy day, take advantage of the Sonos sound system, throw a few logs on the wood-burning stove, and snuggle up with a book, board game or DVD. When the days are clear, the world really is your oyster. Throw open the doors and ramble around the surrounding land, or enjoy a game of petanque on the full size course. Enjoy a cup of coffee in the bright and spacious kitchen, or pop outside and plan the day’s expeditions while slower members of your party enjoy leisurely washes in the walk-in showers.

After the day’s adventures, choose from a pizza in the outdoors wood-fired oven, a barbecue with local game, meat and fresh seafood, or take advantage of the first class range-style cooker in the kitchen, which is a delight to cook and chat, and eat in.

Whether you’re a young couple looking to spend a long weekend in coastal Cornwall or a pair of two families hoping for a rambling and dining tour of the Westcountry, Songbirds is perfectly located for guest to benefit from everything this stunning and culturally rich region has to offer. The quaint but edgy town of Bude can be reached in a car within fifteen minutes, particularly popular with surfers. Alternatively, for more intimate location, head to the equally close Crackington. For a day ramble, you can’t beat the muddy woodland path which leads to the coast at Millook Haven, a secluded and stunning cove where the Zig Zag rock formations can be taken in. This area of Cornwall is a hidden gem, private and unspoiled, but beloved by those familiar with it. Characterised by charming pubs, swathes of stunning coast, and uniquely Cornish topography, the Bude region is an area which must be visited to be appreciated.
