Was a little unsure when the host wrote that this was in his back garden, the entrance is via a rear alley but when you get in what a gem of a place. This is better than any hotel room. (Unless you want to sit in a hotel room and look at the beach). It's lovely and quite and only a few minutes walk to the nearest beach and 10 minds to the town and another beach. When we return this will definitely be the first place to try and stay.

Rockpool is a modern self contained holiday home built and designed by us to the highest standards. A five minute walk takes you to the beautiful Atlantic Coastal beaches of Crooklets and Summerleaze with the ever popular Bude Sea Pool. A short walk takes you to Bude town centre which is full of independent shops. Directions to Rockpool The postcode is EX23 8RF and the best way to get here is to drive to Bude via Exeter. Bude is normally about 70 minutes from Exeter. When you get to Bude go along Downs View then turn into Summerleaze Avenue. 20 metres along Summerleaze Avenue, turn right into a narrow lane. Rockpool is 50 metres on the right and it is best to reverse into the drive Rockpool is the perfect base for all outdoor enthusiasts as well as to simply relax. Bude has great surf and stunning southwest coastal path walks,. There are countless activities for all ages and we will happily offer our local knowledge should you need it.
Rockpool is set in my wife's seaside home town of Bude where our children also grew up. It is an ideal location near the beach and town. We look forward to hosting you and have extensive knowledge of the area should you need any suggestions.
Rockpool is set in a quiet residential area. There are buses that link Bude to Exeter and Plymouth. Many guests may like to take a local bus to Crackington Haven and walk back. The council are linked to a scheme where you can rent electric cars by the hour should you wish. Cycling is always popular, although there are no flat routes.
