Excellent stay !

We had a lovely stay in Thurlibeer House. It was perfect for the whole family, 12 of us in total, lots of space and bedrooms upstairs and downstairs for all. Host was on site if needed but left us to it. Beautiful outdoor space. Would certainly visit again.

Great place for a get together

Great big house in a lovely area. Enjoyed the garden, the glorious weather, the country view, the many rooms to absorb a group of 14. Only min point, you cant walk along the road anywhere, its too busy.

A wonderfully happy weekend! Plenty of hot water for aching limbs after long walks, so much space in the house, we nearly needed a map, and a well equipped kitchen with one of the best and biggest kitchen tables I have seen. Thank you Chris!

A happy birthday celebration

15 of us stayed at Thurlibeer and all enjoyed the stay. Being January we luckily had one day on Bude beach but table football & pool kept everyone happy in the stormy weather. All beds very comfortable and the house clean & friendly. Chris very helpful.

Birthday weekend

Lovely weekend away at Thurlibeer House with my family. The house was perfect for a relaxed getaway and although a little old and jaded in places it was totally in keeping with the style of the house. Ample room for 15 of us, bedrooms were very spacious and plenty of bathrooms so no one was left cross legged! Very easy to find somewhere to chill away from it all - I lost two daughters at one point! All in all a fabulous stay!

Great for large families

It is a large house with lots of different sleeping spaces/options. The kitchen table will seat everyone, games areas, two lounges ( one of which enjoys the sunset where we enjoyed pre dinner drinks), the views towards Widemouth Bay are amazing as is the sunset from the property. A fair price for the standard of the property.

Great Bude based family home

This was our second stay at this property and it is one of our extended family's favourite holiday home. It is a very large and well equipped house with a large private garden with views towards Widemouth bay. Exiting the property onto the busy main road into Bude is a bit of a challenge as visibility is limited

Thurlibeer house

accessible and friendly hosts, large house but dated, Not as clean as possible, cobwebs on lights in kitchen, dust etc behind sofas, and some light switches not working ( but taped off and highlighted by hosts), but nothing that distracted from an enjoyable holiday for the whole family, would book again.

Perfect space for 14

Cheaper than most and fractionally dated in its decor but thats reflected in the price. Great value for money. Located so closely to Bude. The perfect base to come backbto each day in a quiet location. The main road is noisy but you font hear it from inside the property. Views from the back garden a beautiful (yes you can see the sea). Check in and out was super smooth too. No real bad points.

Absolutely a must stay!

I could not believe my fortune to find this absolutely fabulous property and for the owners to work with my with many delays due to Covid. Had great parking for our little van/mini-bus which is a big thing sometimes. There was plenty of room for all 10 of us to spread out have have some privacy after smaller accommodations. The owner brought us over fresh herbs and wild garlic along with homemade apple juice which was a bit hit with my ladies. There was nothing I could say negative about this place. The kitchen was well appointed with everything I might need for cooking great meals. Just overall an absolutely one of a kind place and great for larger groups!

Fabulous stay

We stayed here over the weekend to celebrate my husband’s 40th with a group of 11 adults and 7 children, and it was absolutely perfect. From the start, communication with Chris was excellent—he was incredibly accommodating and even let us look around the house a few weeks before our booking, which really helped with planning.The house itself is fantastic: spacious, beautifully located, and ideal for a big group like ours. There are plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms, two comfortable living areas, a lovely conservatory, and a huge outdoor space that the kids absolutely loved. The garden was perfect for them to run around in, and the little play area was a real bonus.The house is also really well equipped with everything we needed, and Den—who lives next door—was so helpful and kind. It was great having him nearby; he assisted us with a few things during our stay.We had such a brilliant time and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this place to anyone hosting a similar gathering. It was the perfect setting for a special weekend. Thank you so much, Chris and Den!

Excellent property. Set up for large family groups. Only a short trip to the beaches of Bude.

Host was very quick to reply to our calls. That said we didn't need him to do much. Overall, the stay was very enjoyable and we liked the property.
