400-Year-Old Manor House with Indoor Heated Pool in Bude
The Manor House
The Manor is a 400-year-old, six-bedroom holiday home in Bude, sleeping up to 12 guests across multiple sitting rooms and a formal dining room. The property features three uniquely styled bathrooms, including one with a Jacuzzi bath and walk-in shower, and a large utility room with a downstairs toilet. A four-oven Aga and a range cooker in the conservatory equip the kitchen, while a stone fireplace anchors the main living area.
On-Site Amenities
An indoor heated swimming pool set to 30°C sits a 30-second walk from the property and offers floatable toys and aids. The games room contains a pool table, table tennis, table football, giant connect 4, a darts board, and a soft play area. A children's playground, outdoor playing field with football goals, and an electric vehicle charging station are available on the farmstead.
Farm Experiences
Guests can join the owners twice weekly to feed the farm animals, including horses, goats, sheep, chickens, pigs, rabbits, and alpacas. A separate paid animal experience offers grooming a pony with the owners' daughter. The farmstead also provides private woodland walks that lead to the coast, with a stream along part of the route.
Family-Friendly Facilities
The property provides baby safety gates, cots, highchairs, sterilisers, and a nappy bin, making it equipped for infants and toddlers. The indoor pool and soft play area offer year-round entertainment for children regardless of weather. A stair gate can be installed before arrival, and the games room includes activities that occupy both children and adults.
Pet-Friendly Accommodations
The Manor is pet-friendly and welcomes dogs, with an enclosed patio at the property for pet use. The surrounding fields and private woodland walks provide off-lead areas for dogs, while the farmstead's quiet location suits pet owners. A pet basket is provided, and the hosts can recommend local walks and beaches.
