A lovely cozy cottage with great facilities on site like the pool and games room.. 10 minute walk to a great pub and only 5 minutes drive to the beautiful beach which is sog friendly!

On the website photos do not really show clearly the layout of the cottage and garden, a floor plan would help.. The website description led us to believe that the garden was one complete entity when in fact it was split into three seperate entities. In itself this was not a problem for guests, nor would it have been for a small dog. Unfortunately this was not suitable for a large dog like our german short haired pointer and to be fair and in retrospect I should have clarified this with the owner at time of booking. Other than that, the cottage itself and its facilities were good.

Simply stunning! This quirky cottage is beautiful and everything you could wish for. The site itself has some fantastic facilities including a swimming pool, pool table and table tennis table. Close by and within walking distance is a gorgeous pub in Poughill called the Preston Gate Inn which serves good food and entertainment of an evening. I just want to personally thank the owners who were absolutely amazing, supportive and very accommodating to us when I received some sad news prior to our holiday. Thank you so much and we will definitely be back. This place is lovely xx

We had an amazing week in Groom cottage.. The cottage facilities were great it’s a well equipped kitchen, cosy sitting area. The bedrooms were tastefully decorated and beds were comfortable. We made use of the lovely indoor pool every morning. The location was ideally placed to explore Bude, its’ lovely beaches and other coastal locations. We also loved having our Schnauzer with us and the site had ample space to allow him to have a roam around and a sniff! We look forward to a return trip to Groom cottage!

We had a lovely stay at Groom Cottage.. Knowing our dog was joining us Susan was kind enough to suggest some good dog walks that were an alternative to the obvious beach walks. We tried them all out and Bodie seemed to enjoy himself. The facilities at the site are great, we swam most mornings to work off the holiday excesses. We would definitely stay there again.

A beautiful quirky and characterful cottage! We really enjoyed our relaxing break here, we visited outside of the school holidays so it was especially peaceful although it would be great for families at any time. Usually we could only hear birdsong & distant sheep in the mornings and had the lovely swimming pool all to ourselves every day. We would really recommend staying here; the owner left fresh milk, tea and kitchen and bathroom essentials which was really helpful. Stratton & Bude are also nearby and the Preston Gate Inn is particularly worth a visit!

We had a great holiday and the cottage was quaint and clean and exactly what we needed.. We appreciate the organisation of a last minute booking- the host contacted us about the keys and left a warm welcome in terms of a lovely welcome card, milk and biscuits to get us started with a cuppa! Wish we could have stayed longer! The pool and games room was a massive hit with the kids!

We booked Friday to Friday and left on Monday ! The cottage was very small and the stairs was very difficult to negotiate. Also the Television was frankly rubbish ...
Finally the yard for our two dogs was very small and we had to travel 15 miles to find a decent wooded area to walk our two Cocker Spaniels.

I stayed at another cottage last year.. This was bigger and better.the swimming pool on this site is super lovely and warm.also the changing rooms have been upgraded which is a huge improvement.

Groom cottage was a gorgeous quirky property and we had a fab time staying there.. Swimming pool was amazing and we went for a dip most days.
The location was an easy 5min drive into Bude for the shops or Crooklet beach which was lovely and perfect for our kids rocks to climb rock pooling and waves to jump in along with sand for digging. Rosie's cafe much better inside and food than the outside would suggest..
only thing missing was a hairdryer in the property so remember to take your own.
