THE SPACE
Baywatch offers stylish holiday accommodation with modern facilities in a peaceful setting overlooking Widemouth Bay. Located a stone’s throw from the beach, Baywatch is within easy striking distance of all amenities. With the local shop, surf hire and 2 popular local restaurants less than a 5 minute walk away, you should have all you need for a family holiday by the beach! With two bedrooms and a bathroom on each floor, this is the perfect holiday home for one or two families or a group of friends wanting their own space in a stylish and comfortable home in a quiet and breathtaking location.

The two downstairs bedrooms are completely private and very quiet with garden views. The lower downstairs king-size room has access to the patio and garden area from the French windows. The upstairs bedrooms are more accessible for those with mobility issues or are staying with young children who might need quick and easy access to the kitchen without disturbing the lower bedrooms.

An open plan living area upstairs provides a spacious, comfortable and communal area ideal for families or groups to enjoy together. The living room opens out onto a large balcony area overlooking the waves, cliffs and fields of Widemouth Bay. The balcony comfortably seats eight guests for alfresco dining. Baywatch is within walking distance of a couple of great restaurants and a fabulous fresh fish counter at the village shop. If you fancy a trip into Bude, Baywatch is only a five-minute drive along the coastal road to Bude.

In 2016 we began the task of turning this modest two-bed detached bungalow into a contemporary four-bed house set over two levels. This transformation saw the addition of two new bedrooms, another family bathroom, an additional dining area, utility room, hallway and extended open plan living area complete with a balcony. We have still managed to retain a sizeable garden area with a spacious patio and lawn area, including a trampoline and a swing set for the little ones!

ACCOMODATION
Ground Floor:
The main entrance opens into a bright and airy roof-lit hallway complete with glimpses of the sea and countryside views that await. The hallway leads to a spacious open plan kitchen (with a separate utility room), dining and living space. The large patio doors in the living area open out onto a large balcony with breathtaking sea and country views of Widemouth bay and the lower private garden area. There is a dining table and seating for eight people on the balcony. The kitchen has an island and sit-up stools for the maximum use of the space. There is a stylish wood-burning stove that sits between the kitchen and sitting areas to keep the area feeling cosy on those cooler evenings. The sitting area has a couple of roomy and comfortable leather sofas. The dining area has breathtaking views of the surf breaking at Camel Rock in Widemouth Bay.

On this level, there is a master king bedroom, a double bedroom and a contemporary bathroom with a spacious walk in shower, W/C and basin unit.

Lower Floor:
The wide LED-lit staircase leads to the newly built lower level which comprises a master king bedroom, a twin bedroom and a family bathroom with bath, overhead shower, W/C and double basin unit. The master bedroom has French windows which lead out onto the patio area “sun trap” of the garden.


GARDEN
The garden area comprises a recently landscaped patio and lawn area. In the day the garden becomes a “sun trap” where you can enjoy the sunshine in privacy, thanks to the high surrounding fences. There is a corner sofa and dining bench ideal for eight diners. There is a board rack and heated outdoor shower area in the garden, perfect to warm up and clean off after enjoying the surf and sand a short walk away!

FACILITIES & SERVICES
Heating is via very efficient gel filled electric radiators and the wood burning stove (there is no mains gas supply throughout Widemouth). The kitchen has a range of modern appliances. There is an electric oven, hob, microwave, toaster, kettle, fridge, freezer, dishwasher, washing machine and tumble dryer.

Beautiful property with a wonderful view
Pretty much everything about the house was first class. Its been so well thought out by Lucy and Ross and we felt like guests in their own home. All their communications were prompt and helpful. The arrival gifts were thoughtful, the kitchen was stocked with absolutely everything you needed....the kids loved the garden and the trampoleen...we loved the balcony and the view. Just a beautiful place to chill out for a week.

Absolutely fantastic holiday. The house was stunning with brilliant views. Very short walk to the beach. Lucy and Ross were lovely to rent from. We needed oxygen delivered for my father and they were so accommodative. It was such a shame we had to come home!!

Fantastic property in a great location within easy walk of beach and short drive to Bude. This spacious house was very well equipped inside and out, spotlessly clean throughout with everything you could possibly need for a perfect stay. Lucy and Ross were super hosts, large hamper of goodies on arrival was a lovely surprise that was most appreciated. Definitely would recommend this property and would love to stay again in the future. Thanks again for sharing your home. Maria, Paul and family

The house is beautiful inside and well equipped. We were welcomed with a lovely hamper of goodies, something for everyone. It’s just a short distance to a good beach with amenities and a scenic drive to a favourite surfer’s beach, Polzeath! Check in and out was easy. Thank you Ross and Lucy!

About the host

Hosted by Lucy

Host profile image
Bude born local Ross, has worked on the beaches of Bude as a lifeguard for many years and is now a supervisor of the area. When he is not supervising the beaches he is either enjoying the surf or putting out fires (or retrieving cats from trees!) as he is also a retained fireman.

Having moved from the land locked midlands originally, Lucy loves living and bringing up their children by the sea. Ross and Lucy decided to open up their home in 2017 as a small family business to give others the oppurtunity to enjoy Widemouth Bay and Bude as much as they do.

Why they chose this property

Enjoy a modern setting with stunning sea, cliff and country side views from the living room, dining room, kitchen and balcony. Spread out over the two floors with a couple of bedrooms and a bathroom on each floor, allowing you to holiday as a big group but maintain some privacy.

Located in the heart of Widemouth Bay, just a 5 minute drive from the centre of Bude, Baywatch is the perfect location for a family holiday by the beach and surf. Take a short 3 minute walk to the beach and walk home for a hot outdoor shower when you are done! Leave the car at home and head out to The Bay View Inn or The Beachhouse for a bite to eat just a short 5 minute walk away. Or pop to the local shop and fish counter for some delicious locally sourced Cornish produce and enjoy in the comfort of your home with the sunset as your backdrop!

If that doesn't convince you, hopefully the 5* reviews from all our lovely previous guests will!

What makes this property unique

Stunning sea views and cliff scapes from the living room, dining area, kitchen and balcony.
3 minute walk to the beach. Spacious balcony with seating for 8 and sea views.
2 bedrooms and a bathroom on each floor allowing groups and families to maintain some privacy when holidaying together. Trampoline and swing set for the little ones.
