Guests appreciate the proximity to the town and beaches, and some have enjoyed their stay enough to consider rebooking. The property is described as a good base for exploring the area, with supermarkets within walking distance. However, there are recurring comments about the uncomfortable sofas and suggestions for garden maintenance.

The property generally receives positive remarks for cleanliness, with multiple reviews mentioning it was clean and tidy upon arrival. However, there are isolated complaints about specific cleanliness issues, such as a dirty rotary line and an unclean bathroom extractor fan.

The location is highly praised for being within walking distance to the town centre, beaches, and supermarkets. It is also considered a good base for exploring Cornwall, contributing to its high score.

While the property is often described as comfortable and some guests had good nights' sleep, there are numerous complaints about the uncomfortable sofas and issues with the bunk beds, which affects the comfort score.

Facilities are generally well-received, with a well-equipped kitchen and good storage. However, there are several mentions of maintenance issues such as problems with the showers, garden upkeep, and appliance instructions, which lowers the score.

About this property

Tucked away in the popular coastal town of Bude in Cornwall, is this fantastic three-bedroom, semi-detached house, 72 Elizabeth Road. Enjoying a prime location with access to a good selection of beautiful beaches and the local amenities, 72 Elizabeth Road is a superb dog-friendly dwelling for a group or family of six plus their two canine companions. Be welcomed into the well-equipped kitchen, featuring a handy dishwasher and washing machine, where you can whip up tasty meals for your loved ones ready to enjoy around the dining table for six as you recount the day's adventures. After dinner, why not let your four-legged friends stretch their legs out in the rear enclosed garden with a game of fetch? As the evening cools, retire to the living/dining room to snuggle up in front of a much-loved film on the TV. Climb the stairs up to the first floor, where you can pour in the bubbles and relax in the bath or wash away the day with a refreshing shower. When sleep calls, choose from three well-appointed bedrooms to catch your rest in, a spacious king-size with en-suite shower room, perfect for those who prefer a little more privacy, a double and a bunk room with full-size bunks, all of which offer plenty of storage for your belongings. Wander into the town centre, where you sample fresh seafood at the welcoming Life’s A Beach, tuck-in to traditional pub fayre at The Barge or dine out at the popular 2 Belle Vue Avenue, serving a delicious menu of seafood and steaks. Pack-up your bathing suits, swimming trunks and towels and head straight for the glorious sands of Summerleaze Beach, where you can explore rock pools with the little ones, bathe, try your hand at surfing or take a dip in the Bude Sea Pool. The keen walkers in your party will not want to miss a scenic stroll along the renowned South West Coast Path, or if that isn’t your thing, why not test out your swing at the excellent Bude and North Cornwall Golf Club? If you’re looking to bring your pooches along for the seaside fun, head straight for the National Trust owned Sandymouth Bay Beach, where your dogs can play on the sands and enjoy clifftop walks. Further afield, you will find Tintagel, home to the attractions of the National Trust site of Tintagel Old Post Office, Tintagel Castle and Merlin’s Cave. All this and more awaits with a stay at 72 Elizabeth Road.

A visit to Bude is a once-in-a-lifetime experience you'll never forget. Bude's beaches are perfect for lazing around and creating sandcastles, and its rockpools are perfect for exploring at low tide. There are also cafes where you can take in all of this and more. Surfing the swells is possible year-round, and walking along the reconstructed canal or the North Cornwall coastal path is a wonderful way to take in the area's breathtaking scenery while doing so. With a top-notch golf course, an indoor pool, a bowling alley, and the Bude Castle's Heritage Center, Bude has a lot to offer visitors.

As well as all of these amenities, there is a first-rate Visitors Center and a wide array of small businesses and supermarkets nearby. Nearby are the ruins of Warbstow Bury, a massive iron-age hill fort from which visitors can enjoy panoramic views. When looking for a day trip, take the coastal road north to Hartland Point or walk or ride a donkey down the steep and cobblestone village street (no automobiles permitted) to the harbour and the bar deep below in lovely Clovelly, England. If you go the opposite way along the coast, you'll come across Crackington Haven, Boscastle, Tintagel, Doc Martin's Port Wenn, and Polzeath, which are all fantastic surfing spots.

    This is the second time this year we have stayed at the property we are disappointed in the garden which seems to be unloved. There are still things in the garden that were there when we visited in May (broken patio-cigarette end that were in a little plant pot-overgrown bushes that infringes the lawn)unable to let the dog out . We have booked for next year so hopefully on a quiet time all could be sorted out and we will enjoy our stay with you.

    The house is ideally situated for the beach and shops in the area or if you would to travel further. We as a family think it is a good place to stay.During our stay this month we had a slight problem with the shower in the ensuite .I called the number given on the booking and spoke to a lady called Jenifer and she managed to get it sorted out within a few days which was good news to us and brilliant service. The only let down for the house and garden as it needs a bit of TLC .

    Great having recycling collection info but no containers to put it in. Cannot use open drawer of freezer as frost has it closed up. No information on any of the appliances. Lack of information on the heating and hot water, the thermostat doesn’t work at all. No information on the hot water cylinder upstairs, something you need to turn on if you plan to use either the Bath or the en-suite shower. Would have liked to have been asked if we would like fresh linens for our second week. We could have washed the sheets but as the rotary line in the garden is held together with insulation tape and was so dirty from exposure to the elements, we didn’t feel that was an option. Needs new light bulb in the third bedroom as the one there you might as well not turn on as it produces allot no light whatsoever. The grill for the extractor fan in the main bathroom hasn’t been cleaned in what looks like years. The toilet in the en-suite shower room off the master bedroom seems to retain a smell of urine no matter how much you flush. To say it was a disappointment would be an understatement, would not stay in this property again.
