Cost cottage
Lovely cosy cottage. All the contact with owner was very good and everything explained fully about the cottage. The parking was good but the roads out are very narrow and it’s a long walk into Bude on a busy road. The buses are unreliable too so we had to always drive into Bude which was quiet in October but I’m sure would be different in the tourist season. Overall for us we liked the cottage very much.

Excellent week at Tugella Cottage
Everything was really clean and tidy and ready for us. The only downside was that there is no mobile signal 'O2' in Stratton village so we had to rely heavily on the wifi. Other than that we had a good stay with the weather to match.

Long Weekend Break
Thanks you for a lovely stay, the house was lovely and well equipped. The locals at The Tree Inn were so friendly we could have stayed there all weekend! A very comfortable base for our daily adventures and I've no doubt we will return again. Thanks, Ruth

Why they chose this property

We fell in love with Tugella Cottage whilst on holiday in Stratton as a couple. Its private, quiet position in the centre of the village, yet set back from the road in its own private garden caught our attention. Inside it felt like a home from home, being very cosy.

What makes this property unique

We enjoy the village location, it is quiet yet the varied facilities of Bude, including a wide selection of restaurants, shop and two wonderful beaches, are only a 5 minute drive or 30 minute walk away. Stratton has two excellent public houses, which serve a good selection of meals and are both within a two minute walk of the cottage. Private parking in Stratton is unusual and yet Tugella has space to park two cars directly outside the cottage, yet within the cottage grounds.
