Bay Cottage, a section of Ebbingford Manor, 850 yr old manor house by beach&town

Bay Cottage is a section of Ebbingford Manor. It dates back some 850 years, once opened to the public, this manor now offers a delightfully romantic & interesting self-catering holiday let.
Bay Cottage is the first door you come to as you come up Ebbingfords' driveway, with its own off road parking space near to its front door. You enter straight into the living/dining room, a vaulted ceiling with a sky light makes this a lovely light room. It's walls combine beautiful old stone with wood panelling, a trait throughout this old manor. The Living/Dining room has a small oak dining table with two chairs; a sofa; wood burner; TV, CD/Radio with USB/Bluetooth& WiFi available.. The bedroom has a kingsize bed, a small wardrobe with 3 drawers and further storage space under the bed. The kitchen has gas cooker, washing machine & microwave. The bathroom has a shower over a corner bath and toilet. The whole property is on the ground floor and only about 500ft total with gas central heating. Bed linen and towels supplied. Garden with table & two chairs.
Dogs are allowed, for small/medium breeds only due to size of accommodation. The garden adjoins the rest of the manors grounds, so not secure for dogs to roam freely.
Located in the centre of town, Ebbingford is little known even in Bude, set quietly back in a secluded area, tucked away from the westerly winds under the lee of Efford Down, making it a wonderful sun trap on those clear days. Plenty to explore with coastal walks, sandy beaches, golf, fishing, surfing and swimming right on your doorstep. Plus Clovelly, Boscastle, Tintagel Castle, Rock & Padstow just 30 minute drives a.
Pub approx 100metres away, shop 200 metres & beach 400 metres.
The vacation home is heated and features a kitchen and space to spread out with a separate bedroom. Guests can enjoy a TV and stay connected with free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, an electric kettle, and an ironing board.

This is a lovely cottage in an excellent location, in walking distance to beaches, town center, pubs. It is located next to the manor house, with a separate entrance, and is part of the historic complex. The cottage is well suited for two people. The kitchen is not modern but has all necessary equipment, the small bathroom has a modern bathtub/shower, the bedroom is small but nice. However, some refurbishment would seem adequate. Parts of the wooden interior and the window frames are in need of maintenance, and during heavy rainfall there was water ingress from two points of the ceiling.

Compact, everything you could need, great shower, most amazingly comfortable bed, huge fluffy towels, comfortable sofa table and chairs. This was our second stay and it's still one of the best in Bude, close to beach, canal, pub and town. If we get to Bude again it will definately be on our list.

Tucked-away Holiday Home … just a few minutes stroll from beaches and town.

A perfect holiday home for two with everything we needed for our week-long stay, including on-site parking (a boon in Bude). Once through the stone pillared gateway, we felt as though we were off the beaten track … yet a few minutes got us to the canal (easy circular walk, passing through a nature reserve), the wide and sandy beaches, the Heritage Centre (free entry to museum art exhibitions cafe) and the town (cafes and independent shops galore).Our friendly hosts were on hand should we have needed them, but everything went like clockwork. The bed was super-comfy, the living room had good dining and seating areas, the kitchen had crockery and cutlery for four and the bathroom had a constant supply of hot water (we bathed; we didn’t shower). There isn’t a fenced area for a dog … but with so much dog-friendly choice on your doorstep, it didn’t present a problem. I have resolved to check for future availability of this wonderfully-located hideaway.

We were doing the SW coast path and using Bude as a base this was a first class location. The accommodation is ideal for a couple and the property owner is wonderful.

Lovely little property, excellent location!

Ideal for two people and a dog!We had 4 nights at Bay Cottage and thoroughly enjoyed it.It's a cosy little place but has everything you need and is perfectly located - close to the canal, river, town centre and beach; but not too close.The hosts were superb - friendly and helpful with great communications. Check in was as easy as it gets, as was check out.The place was clean and basics, such as soap, washing up liquid and even some tea and coffee were provided. The central heating system was very effective but, while there is a nice wood-burning stove and a basket for logs, you do need to get your own if you want a fire - a few logs to get you started would have been a lovely touch. By coincidence, we met both Gina and Jon on the day we arrived. Jon mentioned some visitors had commented on the sofa needing replacement and asked our opinion. We concluded it probably does as it's a bit saggy but it was perfectly fine for our stay.Our only actual negative was the shower water temperature. While the combi-boiler did heat the water suitably, the mixer tap needs some adjustment - it's currently got too much cold mixing so it's only just about warm enough... it's sort of ok once you are in but getting in takes some building up to (a bit like getting in the sea!). under the water. I'll message Jon directly and hopefully he'll adjust it. Plenty of hot water for the bath though.The real test is whether we'd stay there again and it's a definite "Yes" from us!

Perfect holiday space for two people. Ideal location and private parking spot within grounds and just a short walk to the town centre. In short, everything we hope for when we book accommodation!Very happy customers!Just a footnote for any future visitors, Life's a Beach, the Olive Tree (-amazing Ploughmans) and La Bocca are the pick of the local eateries...All three outstanding.

Bay Cottage

Bay cottage was small but clean, lighting could have been brighter in all areas and a safety handle for getting out of the shower would be good. The position of the cottage was great for visiting Bude, a short walk to town and beach and to local pub for eating out. We enjoyed our stay at Bay Cottage and would consider using again.
