Blackberry Lodge is a modern detached single storey holiday cottage with two bedrooms.
It
is right next door to Bramblewood Cottage, was purchased in 2006, and
has been beautifully furnished and equipped for holiday makers.
Blackberry is a very cosy cottage and makes an ideal
base for a family with children or group of four adults and a baby. With
all the facilities required for a perfect self-catering holiday, you can enjoy
lazy evenings with a BBQ in the enclosed
and well stocked private rear garden, or a morning coffee on the large front terrace with colourful
planted borders and a bench to savour the views over the rolling countryside.
Ideal for asthma and allergy sufferers, it is
non-smoking and does not accept pets.

We
frequently use the cottage ourselves (when not bringing the whole
family, and don't need the extra space of Bramblewood next door), and have tried to provide
extra touches that ensure you'll have a great
holiday. We aim to always keep the
cottage well presented and well equipped for a family of four plus a
baby. (For example we replace highchairs and cots often, so they are
of a very good standard)
Many of Bude's sandy
beaches
are kept dog free, clean, safe and patrolled by lifeguards in summer. Choose a different beach each day,
there are at least seven within a five mile drive of the cottage. (Duckpool, Sandymouth, Northcott Mouth, Summerleaze, Crooklets
Crackington Haven, and Widemouth) Enjoy walking, surfing, body boarding, investigating the rock pools, or building
sandcastles. Afterwards return for a swim in the heated pool, or enjoy a
barbeque and relax in Blackberry's peaceful
garden.
"We are so sad to leave this cottage which has been our home (and far cleaner and better equipped than my own) for two weeks now.
Last night my son suggested a game of 'sticky toffee' in the fields beyond the garden and all of us, aunties, uncles, Granddad and Nannie (extended family in cottage next door) spent the most glorious hour winging our way in and out of the flower beds and through the climbing frame until we were out of breath.
What a magical place this is." E Tennant
