Regular Guest

Bay Cottage is just right for our stays when down visiting family nearby. Easy access to the beach, canal and town centre. Parking away from the main road, and safe. Sounds of the birds waking you in the morning confirms this oasis of peace, despite the town location. Large grounds giving plenty of space to walk your dogs last thing at night. Owners in easy reach and happy to sort any problems with a smile.

Great location

Had a lovely stay at Bay Cottage with our dogs. Fantastic location. A quick 5 minute walk into the centre of Bude. A pub within walking distance. The hosts were onsite and available if required. Just feel the woodwork in the bathroom and kitchen could do with some tlc. Apart from that, the cottage is fine for a week away.

Return visit

Love this little cottage which is fine for us and our two Cocker Spaniels. Close to the beach, and the heart of Bude but still very secluded. You just don’t realise it’s there from the roadside. Makes it especially quiet, although lovely to wake to birdsong. Walk to town, the beach or along Bude Canal, all within easy reach. We’ve stayed here a few times now, as so convenient to visit family who live up the road a bit. As the car is parked on the grounds, no hassle with finding parking spaces either.

About the host

Hosted by Gina D'Angelo-Stamp

Ebbingford Manor is owned and looked after by us, Jonathan & Gina D’Angelo-Stamp.
Jonathan is the third generation of the Stamp family to own this near, 850 year old manor, first acquired by his grandfather Sir Laurence Dudley Stamp in 1953. Jonathan recently retired from travelling around the world performing his own comedy juggling and unicycling show on cruise ships, preferring now to be at home in gorgeous Bude with his family, surfing and maintaining the manor.
Before the children arrived I too worked as an aerialist and acrobat, travelling the world performing shows at corporate, private and public events. I now manage our holiday lets within the manor, caravan and Munster Cottage on Summerleaze Beach and enjoy the fun crazy life of young kids and the wonderful community of Bude.

Why they chose this property

Located in the centre of town, Ebbingford is little known even in Bude. Set quietly back in a secluded area, tucked away from the westerly winds under the lee of Efford Down, making it a wonderful sun trap on those clear days.
Jonathan loved growing up here and since travelling the world with his career and living 8 years in Hawaii, Ebbingford and Bude were still where he dreamt of settling and bringing up his family.
Being a keen surfer, having Summerleaze beach a few minutes walk around the corner, with it's good reputation for surf is a huge bonus and having stunning coastal walks right on our doorstep is a joy.
Bude is a lovely small town with more Cornish attractions not far away, Clovelly, Boscastle, Tintagel Castle, Rock & Padstow just 30 minute drives away.
