Mallard Cottage dates back to the mid 1830's. Originally it was a barn where boats were restored but then was modified into a cottage. We purchased the cottage at the beginning of 2012 but unfortunately it was unsafe and most of the original cottage had to be rebuilt to modern standards. Our cottage stands in the heart of Bude and sits on the banks of the River Neet, only 2 minutes walk to the beach and canal. It has its own access road to the rear with parking for 2/3 vehicles and a balcony which overlooks the river and the castle. Large ground floor patio area with palm tree.
