“A lovely house in a perfect location.”

Perfect for dogs as it has a large, secure garden and easily cleaned floors downstairs. The beds are really comfortable and although fairly basically equipped, it’s a very relaxing and comfortable house to stay in. It’s our second time here and we’ll be back again next year.

“Great property really well equipped with everything we needed.”

Fully enclosed garden. Short walk to the beach - didn’t want to leave !

Lesley September 2024

“This is our third stay in this property.”

Previously I have given 5*, this time only 2* as the property is neither clean nor well maintained now. I have advised the owner. Mould in shower room and around window frames, carpets desperately need cleaning, also dining chair seats dirty and stained. The whole house would benefit from some attention and a good clean, which should be scheduled in regularly and not just left until the house happens to be vacant! The location however is ideal for us visiting family in the area. Would come back again but only if standards improve.

- Lesley, September 2024
Lynn September 2024

“The property is in an excellent location for all of Bude's attractions.”

We parked the car on the drive and never used it all week as the beach and town are all within easy walking distance. The house is well equipped, warm and comfortable. We could not fault it as a holiday let having stayed in many over the last few years.The shower in the main bathroom is superb! We much appreciated the owner contacting us prior to our stay to determine the sleeping arrangements i.e. making the twin bedded room into a super king size. We would recommend this holiday home both for its location and facilities.

“Just returned from a week with our 2 children.”

The house was as described. Apart from the kitchen needing a quick going over I thought the house was well kept and clean. Although the hoover did smell of wet dog. The lawns were mowed whilst we were there keeping the nice big garden looking great. The location was ideal for costal works in either direction and for walks to the 2 local beaches. Crooklets beach bar regularly had live music on which was super to add to the atmosphere. Bude village its self was a lovely place to visit with many little shops bakeries and clothes shops. Sainsburys was just up the road which was handy and also Lidl just a short drive away. Tintagel Castle is an absolute must visit it the views were amazing on a sunny day.

“Many things great about this property, however let down by lack of care and attention to detail.”

Gardens where needing attention, pots full of dead weeds and flowers, garden seat at the back broken, health & Safety hazard. No sky TV which is a must , also the TV is old, so we couldn't even mirror from our iPad. This is essential if you have bad weather, which we did. Also needs to be restock with items such as toilet rolls, kitchen foil, salt and pepper etc., again essential items which you do not really bring with you and have an expectation there will be enough at the property for 2 people for 1 week, given the property sleeps 6. Its a shame because with a little TLC and attention to detail this property could be amazing.

- Hazel Rose, June 2024

Thank you for taking the time to complete your feedback we are sorry to hear of some issues you encountered during your stay. Had we been made aware of any issues at the time of your stay, we would have done all we could to rectify things. We do have a gardener who attends the garden on a regular basis, but the weather recently has not been good, however we do have someone attending to the pots shortly. We were not aware that the bench seat was broken, so this will also be attended to also. The TV is not an old TV, it doesn't have Sky but we don't advertise as having Sky. However you are able to connect to the WiFi to be able to access NetFlix etc. We will speak with our housekeeper regarding the toilet rolls, kitchen foil and salt and pepper as these items are usually supplied for guests.

“Stayed at the property before, due to location, secure garden for the dog & the house overall, came back and stayed again!”

- Rebecca, May 2024
Helen April 2024

“We did ask if we could arrive early, so partially blamed ourselves, but the house wasn’t particularly clean when we arrived.”

There were dog hairs, crumbs and sand on the floor and table in the living room. This was disappointing but we moved on, after quickly running the hoover over. The house is very well stocked with most things you would need for a week away. The milk was appreciated for an cuppa after the drive across. On a positive note though, the house is very well located for the beaches and eateries of Bude and we did enjoy our stay there. The double bedroom could do with a blind as the curtains do let a lot of light in, and we couldn’t find any recycling clear bags or bin liners as stated in the booklet so just used the bags that were in the bins already. The area seemed really quiet, which was perfect for a relaxing evening after a day of exploring. There were plenty of places nearby to get a coffee, beer or food - or just watch the sunset. Lovely!

- Helen, April 2024
Madeleine March 2024

“2nd time of visiting this property, it is very clean and comfortable and only 5 mins walk for Crooklets Beach.”

Idea for a family and a safe garden if you have dogs. Well maintained and very comfortable beds make it an enjoyable stay and kitchen is fully equipped. Will be back again.

- Madeleine, March 2024
Vanessa March 2024

“A lovely property in great location, only a 5 minute walk to Crooklets beach.”

House had a lovely home from home feel to it and a great sized garden for our dogs too. Would definitely stay here again.

- Vanessa, March 2024
Patricia March 2024

“Lovely cottage clean and well equipped.”

So close to all the amenities would definitely return

Tracy January 2024

“Loved Awel y Mor.”

It had everything we needed for our week's stay. Beds comfy, pillows great, shower (1st floor) amazing after a day out walking. Well located to watch the sunset at Crooklets. Town centre can be walked to if fit enough as hilly. Loved it here we will be back.

- Tracy, January 2024
Diane November 2023

“Location was excellent property was lovely very clean facilities were very good ...”

Location was excellent property was lovely very clean facilities were very good I even managed to work microwave but I couldn’t work the oven or grill I did read the manual but couldn’t get it to switch on but we had brilliant week despite the storms thankyou

- Diane, November 2023

We are sorry to hear that you couldn’t work the oven, had we known we could have sorted it for you. But we have good news, that temperamental oven has now been replaced with a brand new oven as part of our kitchen refurbishment. Since you enjoyed your stay we hope that you will come back and stay again. Property Owner
Hugh October 2023

“Superb location we will be back in Feb”

- Hugh, October 2023
Vicky October 2023

“On the whole a great place to stay.”

Could do with a lick of paint particularly in hall as stained walls and kitchen cupboards door pealing off veneer finish. Brilliant and effective heating and hot water, a very comfortable property.

- Vicky, October 2023

Hi Vicky, we are glad to hear that you enjoyed your stay. We have now learnt that the discolouration on the staircase walls is a bad reaction between the coats of paint. Never seen this before but will be redecorating to sort this out. Kitchen cupboard doors have been affected by steam and heat due to usage. As you can imagine there is no easy fix for the doors and a major revamp of the kitchen is now taking place. We hope that you will come back and see all of our improvements. Property Owner
Lesley September 2023

“We thought the property was lovely and enjoyed our stay.”

The dogs loved the safe garden and the nearby beach. After reading a review saying it was 'tired' we felt it was good not being 'immaculate' as this made it much more homely and it had all the modern conveniences and looked good to us. We hope to go back to Awel-Y-Mor sometime next year.

- Lesley, September 2023
Maria September 2023

“The house was perfect for our family holiday.”

We enjoyed the being close to the beach, costal walks and town.

- Maria, September 2023
Lucy September 2023

“Lovely house perfectly located for the beach and central Bude.”

The generous enclosed garden was perfect for our two young children to run around in safely and we had a great stay.

- Lucy, September 2023
Julie June 2023

“We are a family of 3 adults with a dog and found Awel-Y-Mor to be a lovely home from home.”

Everything was included for a comfortable, relaxing stay. The location was perfect with the beach being literally 5 minutes walk away and the town a lovely 15 minute stroll along the coast. It was also a great base to explore other areas of Cornwall.

- Julie, June 2023
Alison May 2023

“Awel-Y-Mor was very clean on our arrival.”

There is an enclosed garden which is great for children/dogs. The area is very good as only about a 5 minute walk to the nearest small beach with another not too much further. Sainsburys & the small town about a 10 minute walk away too. The kitchen is very well equipped with utensils and crockery. The house is a bit 'tired' looking and could do with a bit of time and TLC spent on it. Bathroom towels supplied were only small bath towels, Bath sheets would be much better!! Also, a door mat at the back door might be useful as nothing to wipe your feet on (or the dogs)!! However we did have a lovely stay there and Bude and the surrounding area are well worth visiting!

- Alison, May 2023
Paul March 2023

“House is in a great location, close to the town and beaches.”

We had an issue with the main bedroom smelling of dog when we arrived, this was rectified quickly the next morning when the bedroom carpet was vaxed which cured the problem. The property is tired inside, paintwork patched up, wooden flooring very tired, front covering of cupboard coming off over cooker, bathroom woodwork patched up, could also do with some modernising. No anti slip shower mat in shower and could also benefit from a door mat inside back door. Wi-Fi very slow and patchy. Not the best Sykes property we’ve stayed in over the years, but we enjoyed our stay in Cornwall.

- Paul, March 2023
Maureen March 2023

“What a beautiful house in a beautiful location- our dog loved the garden.”

Very peaceful location and so close to the beaches and Bude town ( no big chain stores lovely independent shops which is a breath of fresh air ) so many places to eat and have cream tea. You don’t need to drive anywhere as there is so many walks on your doorstep. The beds were so comfortable with crisp white linen sheets on zzz as soon as our heads hit the pillow. We will be back.

- Maureen, March 2023

Thank you so much for these great comments. We are glad to hear that you enjoyed your stay and our house. Hope to see you again! Property Owner

- Hugh, November 2022
Teri October 2022

“Excellent property, great location.”

A short stroll to the beach and the coastal path. Cafe and pub close by. Private parking for 2 or 3 cars. Secure enclosed garden. Ten minute stroll into the town centre. Highly recommended.

Phyllis June 2022

“House was fresh and clean - as pensioners we found it difficult to sit on the wooden bench outside, too old to sit straggle legged and no other seating available, would have been nice to have had a patio set with umbrella shade.”

- Phyllis, June 2022
Simon June 2022

“Lovely, secure area for our dogs.”

Comfy beds, a great shower, a well equipped kitchen. Nice and close to the beach ( and the Chinese). So good we have already booked next year!

- Simon, June 2022
Kathy May 2022

“We had a lovely week in Bude.”

The house and garden was perfect for us. Unfortunately the cleanliness let the property down and we missed the little extras that you seem to get with smaller holiday companies.

- Kathy, May 2022

Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback. We appreciate the time you have taken to let us know the issues you faced whilst staying at our property. We have investigated the issues raised and have made changes where needed. We continue to provide tea, coffee, milk and sugar as well as a few extras to make guests feel at home during their stay.

Norman November 2021

“Lovely property location within easy walking distance of the beach and coastal path.”

Large secure garden ideal for pets and children. Bedrooms nicely decorated and furnished. Lounge could do with updating sofas as they were tired and uncomfortable to relax in.

- Norman, November 2021

Thank you for your feedback. Our plans for new sofas unfortunately got postponed due to pandemic delays. But I'm delighted to say that we now have super comfy new sofas. Property Owner
Jackie October 2021

“We found Bude to be a delightful town and a great base for exploring the beaches & inland too.”

The house is really well located - under 10 minutes walk to the beach, supermarket & town. Spotlessly clean, really well equipped and very comfortable home from home. The enclosed garden is great for the dog too and the off road parking is really useful.

- Jackie, October 2021
Stephen September 2021

“A comfortable, well equipped holiday cottage in a very good location, we had a great week.”

- Stephen, September 2021
Laura July 2021

“A fantastic two week holiday with various ages all enjoying.”

The property is very comfortable, has everything you need and is in a perfect location for the beach, food and shops. The area is lovely and quiet with no over crowding, friendly neighbours and we loved having the enclosed garden for the dog to chill out in in the evenings. Everything was straight forward from booking with Sykes to communications with the owners, lovely personal touch of being able to make a cup of tea when we first landed after a long journey. Thank you.

- Laura, July 2021
Samantha May 2021

“This is a really great property within walking distance of Crooklets beach.”

Property has a great garden ( only missing a barbecue and some sun loungers). There’s a shower room straight off the kitchen for your return from the beach and a great family bathroom upstairs. Comfortable lounge / diner and a well equipped kitchen. Would definitely here stay again!

- Samantha, May 2021

The property

Awel-Y-Mor is a charming, detached property on a residential road that runs down to Crooklets Beach, close to the centre of Bude, on Cornwall's north coast.

Awel-Y-Mor is a wonderful base for a family or group of six wanting to enjoy a coastal Cornish escape, with several sandy beaches in walking distance, offering fantastic swimming and surfing opportunities.

Step inside the property to find a contemporary, well-equipped kitchen, housing all of the necessary appliances to cook up delicious family meals, which can be enjoyed at the dining table, before retreat to the sofas in the living/dining room and relaxing beside the electric fire while enjoying your favourite shows on the TV.

There is a shower/utility room with a walk-in shower, basin, WC and a handy washing machine, while upstairs is a second shower room, which should limit queues for the bathroom in the mornings.

Upstairs, you will also find three bright and airy bedrooms, comprising a double, a twin with zip/link beds and dual aspect windows, plus a single with truckle bed that's perfect for children.

Outside, you will find off-road parking for three cars, as well as a large garden with patio areas for seating, which is perfect for dining alfresco in the sunshine, along with an immaculate lawn.

The property is well-placed for exploring Bude, and is within walking distance of a host of shops, cafés, pubs and restaurants, as well as a lake and a golf course.

You will be spoilt for choice by three picturesque beaches, including Crooklets Beach, which offers excellent surfing and Summerleaze Beach, which has rockpools to explore and beach huts, while Bude Sea Pool is a semi-natural sea pool that's popular for swimming and paddleboarding.

Enjoy visiting Bude's attractions, which includes a 19th century castle with a history museum, art gallery & cafe, and the magnificent South West Coast Path runs right through the town, ideal for walkers wanting to explore the coastline in either direction.

Head north along the Hartland Cornwall Heritage Coast to find a collection of unspoiled, cliff-backed beaches, and continue towards Devon's Hertiage Coast and the picturesque village of Clovelly, with its museums, stunning waterfall, idyllic harbour and family-friendly beach.

Venture south towards Pentire Point, and along the way you will discover Boscastle and its waterfall, plus the fascinating Museum of Witchcraft and Magic, along with the National Trust's Rocky Valley, St Nectan's Glen nature reserve, along with Tintagel's legendary castle, which was the birthplace of King Arthur, Merlin's Cave and the National Trust's Glebe Cliff.

Awel-Y-Mor is a wonderful, family-friendly base from which to discover North Cornwall's stunning coastline.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £250.

About the location

BUDE

Tintagel 17 miles.

Bude is a fabulous coastal town that once visited you will want to come back to time and time again. Bude has something for everyone, great beaches for relaxing, and building sandcastles on, rockpools for investigating at low tide and cafes to watch it all from. The rolling waves are great for surfing all year round, and the footpaths by the restored canal or on the North Cornwall coastal path offer you a superb opportunity to explore and appreciate the outstanding countryside. Bude also has a superb golf course, indoor swimming pool, bowling alley/indoor play area and Heritage Centre at Bude Castle. It also has a good selection of local shops, supermarkets, cafes, pubs, restaurants and excellent Information Centre. Within a short drive are the remains of a huge iron age hill fort at Warbstow Bury, from where panoramic views can be seen. For days out, take the coast road north to see the lonely lighthouse above the sea at Hartland Point or walk or ride a donkey down the steep and cobbled village street (no cars allowed) of beautiful Clovelly to the harbour and the pub far below. Follow the coast in the other direction and there's the little cove of Crackington Haven, Boscastle, King Arthur's castle at Tintagel, Doc Martin's Port Wenn at Port Isaac and yet more great surfing beaches at Polzeath.

Note: Zip link room is set up as a twin by default, please contact the owners in advance should you wish this room to be set up as a super king double.

Note: This property is best suited for up to 4 adults and 2 children or 5 adults only.
