However we do feel the property is looking abit tired and in need of some updating. We walked in the lounge and I suspect because it had been shut up that it smelt abit doggy. We opened up the window which helped but the upstairs front bedroom smelt the same. We feel the rooms could do with a deep clean, especially the furniture in the lounge. However this would not stop us from staying again the houses location is enough to want us to return.

The house is warm and comfortable and has very good kitchen equipment and a great dining room. This has been the third time we have stayed at Cranberry and if we return to Bude we would like to stay there again. Jenny and Tony

We had a fabulous week at Cranberry - the location is amazing, a few minutes from all the amenities of Bude town centre, and a few minutes further gets you to the wonderful Summerleaze beach! The house has everything you need for a comfortable stay away from home. Comfy beds, all the kitchen facilities you need, enough space, secure garden for our dogs. Go out the back gate to the Co-op or the golf course for a morning dog walk - ideal! The owners communication was great and he even has recently purchased a travel cot which was fantastic for our 17 month old son. There is also a highchair and booster seat available. Thank you - we will be back!
