Wonderful cottage in a spectacular location, with great amenities. The area is central to many really good coastal attractions and the vibrant resort town Bede. We were a family of four and found the cottage very spacious and comfortable, highly recommended.

Gaynor was a wonderful host who welcomed us and despite living close by the whole experience was secluded and beautiful; knowing she would be on hand for any queries or help was a bonus. This is such a beautiful hidden gem we’d love to return. Spotless, well designed, private from neighboring cottage (we stayed at stable) and host’s home. Just stunning, the village is picturesque and surrounding beaches just perfect for surfing and bodyboarding. The cottages are child safe and the beautiful walled garden means they can run off excess energy safely! Thank you Gaynor, we couldn’t have been happier with this beautiful holiday home and amenities.

Nice holiday home
We (group of 9 22 year olds) massively enjoyed our stay here, especially the facilities, nice patio area, good for BBQing. Little bit off the beaten track but that's part of the charm of Cornwall, easy enough to get to nearby towns. Spacious living area and plenty of room to dry clothes outside. Thanks for a lovely holiday!

Great Stay
We really enjoyed our stay at Stable & Coach cottages and Gaynor & Simon we’re very welcoming hosts. The cottages are a short drive from Bude and the beaches, but far enough from town that evenings are beautifully quiet. The walled garden is an amazing location for evening barbecues. An added bonus is the games room where the kids loved playing pool.

Beautiful place with all you need for your Cornwall adventures
Great communication from start to finish. Clean and tidy properties on arrival, with an abundance of household items to make it your home away from home. Games room to keep kids, both big and small entertained. Beautiful views with quiet country noises await while staying here. Beautiful beach 20 minutes away and driving distance to most of Cornwalls must visits.

Lovely place to stay
Myself, my partner, our 4 children and our dog all stayed at stable cottage for a week. We were welcomed by Gaynor who was lovely, the cottage was clean, beds were so comfy and the cottage had everything we could possibly need. Gaynor responded quickly to any issues or questions we had. The cottage is lovely and peaceful and easy to find. Village shop does amazing bread and cakes too. We are already looking to book to stay again next year.

One week in week St Mary
Spent one week here saturday to saturday. We had a fantastic week travelling round north cornwall. Would highly recommend going to boscastle, tintagel and if you dont mind driving then looe is absolutely stunning. The accomadtion itself is lovely and clean with a fantastic view from the upstairs balcony. The kitchen is fantastic and well equipped for everything you need. The walled garden is amazing and beautiful and fantastic if you have dogs. The pub is 15 minutes away but its hit and miss if they are serving food or not. Gaynor the owner of the property was absolutly fantastic.

The property was perfect as we were Nana, Son and Daughter-in-law, Daughter and 6 Grandchildren, 2 Newfoundlands and a Bocker (Beagle/cocker Spaniel). Plenty of space for all. Enclosed garden for children and dogs. In 15 minute reach of Summerleaze Beach. Clean, warm, comfortable and excellent thought given to every item needed by a family on holiday. Tremendous attention to detail. Host met us on arrival and had a chat before we left. Lovely lady.

Easter break
We rented both cottages for two families. The cottages easily accommodated four adults and six lively teenagers. We were lucky enough to have excellent weather so were able to eat breakfasts in the sun in the back garden and evening meals in the sun in the front patio area. The garden furniture is great and we made full use of the games room. The cottages were warm and cosy in the evenings and there was adequate space in the kitchens to cook for 10 of us. Having two lounges was a bonus as we used one for reading (and GCSE revision) and one for noisy board games. Week St Mary is beautiful village located in an excellent position for trips to stunning beaches at Bude and Widemouth. We visited the local church on Easter Sunday morning and were made to feel most welcome. There are good walks from the cottage.

Secluded little piece of heaven
We stayed from 11th to 18th Sept 2021, 3 generations aged 19 to 60something! The views are amazing!!! We have a gorgeous shot of the sunset through the 1st floor lounge balcony doors. The walled garden a huge bonus for our dog with no recall! So thumbs up from him too! Plenty of patio furniture plus a large BBQ for each cottage. Cottage was clean and well equipped. Smaller bedrooms were a little cramped, but hey u only use them for sleeping so that really doesn't matter. Bathroom was a squeeze I'll b honest but power was amazing. Comfy spacious lounge with room for littluns to play. Kitchen was very well equipped. Washing machine in the barn next door and a fantastic touch with a pool table and table tennis meant some competitive evenings too! The drive to cottage is not for the faint hearted...some VERY narrow lanes, steep hills and a switchback or two....but the cottage is well worth it, and the views on the way in are beautiful. Highly recommended....we will be booking again that's for sure. Thanks for a fantastic break.

Lovely cottages just 5 miles from the coast
Communication with Gaynor was always easy, she responded very quickly to all emails and queries, both before and during our stay. Cottages were very well presented and clean, all we needed to self cater for our group of 9 adults and teens. Most of the bedrooms are small however living space is generous with views across rolling hills to the sea. Location was delightful, very quiet and just 5 miles from the dog friendly Black Rock Beach at Widemouth Bay. Games room includes a freezer and washing machine. Pool and tables tennis plus a couple of barbeques, some windbreaks and other beach essentials. Walled garden is lovely; also secure for dogs and/or young children. We had a lovely week here in the sunshine, I would recommend it to others without reservation.

Clean cottages, well equipped, walled garden and patio and games room. Superbly stocked shop a few hundred yards away, even dairy free things. Take aways avaliable two nights a week in the village. Playground near. Owner on hand if problems. We had both cottages. If you had one, the outdoor facilities and games room are shared. Very small bunk and twin rooms but good size doubles. Tiny bathrooms.

We used both cottages and found then ideal for party which included young children
We found the kitchen and lounge areas very good to cook and relax, but ate outside in the courtyard most of the time , except when we had some rain and used the games room. A good location for visiting a number of local beaches, and the fish and chips van comes on a Thursday! Gaynor was available if we needed her and was there to meet and greet. We had a memorable holiday

Lovely cottage!
Me, my sister and mum stayed at Coach Cottage for a week. The property is lovely, with a very spacious living room and small kitchen upstairs. The bedrooms are all downstairs (which was great as we didn’t have to drag cases upstairs!!). As mentioned by previous reviewers, the shower room is tiny but the shower is very powerful and it was fine for a week. We had a bedroom each and although only 2’6” wide I can confirm that an adult can sleep in the bunk bed (as I’m 5’10 and was quite comfortable in the bottom bunk!). The owners were always on hand although we only needed to disturb them once (the frozen peas were very handy thanks Gaynor!). The outside area where the parking is could do with a light as it is very dark at night but that’s just personal preference. Also there are three parking spaces but if you have a large car it might be difficult manoeuvring if there is already a car parked. Overall though we had a great time and will definitely be back again next year!

Excellent, quiet ideal location
On arrival was met by Gaynor who is an excellent host, nothing was too much trouble and after our initial meeting where she explained everything she left us to get on with our holiday but if we needed her she was on hand. Property was fantastic, absolutely everything you could need, so cosy and quiet with the sound of birdsong the only noise. Great mattress so had wonderful comfy sleeps. WiFi always available, CD player, plenty games & books if you fancy a quiet day at home (it felt like our own home) So many places to visit within a 50 mile radius and beautiful widemouth Bay just 5 miles away then to come back to the cottage in the evening for a peaceful rest. The shower is so powerful it almost blows you away it's fantastic. Heating so cosy incase of cold days/evenings. I can't rate this cottage and the owners highly enough in fact we loved it so much we're returning again next year. We are a family of 3 generations ranging from 31 - 87 booked for 2 weeks in September and had great weather the second week. The private walled garden out the back is ideal for relaxing and a bonus of an apple tree with delicious juicy sweet fruit. Games room attached to building had a pool table and table tennis, there's also a freezer for more space if needed and an excellent washing machine, clothes can be dried on 2 whirlygigs in back courtyard. There's also 2 bbq's with fuel included for your use. Outside dining tables front & back of cottage. We had the best holiday in a long time.

Sehr schön. Ein toller Urlaub.
Wir waren 2 Erwachsene und 4 Kinder. Das Cottage war sehr gut für uns eingerichtet. Alles vorhanden und auch bei Regen war für alle ausreichend Platz. Der Garten und das Gelände aussen ist so blumig. Im Nebengebäude war eine Tischtennisplatte und ein Billardtisch, dies haben wir leider zu wenig genutzt. Aber die Gegend dort ist so schön, da waren wir viel unterwegs. Gaynor ist so nett und hilfsbereit. Es war ein ganz toller Urlaub ! We really enjoyed it !!

We had a lovely week staying in Stable cottage. Gaynor greeted us on our arrival and was friendly and helpful. The property was clean and the kitchen was well equipped with everything we needed. The shared walled garden was lovely and the games room was perfect for our teenagers. As mentioned by a previous reviewer, it was a shame that moisture in the double glazed window panels in the sitting room obscured the view a little, but no other major complaints. The property is in a rural location and It took 15-20 minutes to drive into Bude. The village shop In Week St Mary is around a five minute walk from the property and had a good selection of basic provisions.
