Broomhill Manor Cottages - Bude

Jane L.

Fantastic week spent at the cottages with 12 adults and 4dogs sharing wonderful grounds with plenty of activities in a peaceful setting. Cottages are fully equipped and the pools, tennis courts and games room are well maintained. Louise and Phillip are warm and welcoming and on hand for any issues or questions. This is our second visit and we will be back! Great place for families to have separate accommodation but spend time together! Not forgetting the dogs too!

I wanted to write an up to date review for this business as I was thoroughly impressed with our recent holiday there. We are a family of four who found the property initially by searching for the criteria of electronic charging for our car & dog friendly cottages. We then filtered the list on dates, proximity to the coast and facilities available on site & definitely made the right choice!

These holiday's aren't a small investment for a family, so you want to be sure that you are going to get quality and family enjoyment on your visit. Here is an overview of our experience that will hopefully help:

We saw the weather forecast the week before coming & it showed heavy rain every day during our stay. That's not a great prospect, although we did get some spells of dry weather. Thankfully this didn't stop us enjoying our holiday and we made good use of the facilities as a result...

- Indoor pool was a huge hit with the kids, usually very quiet and is surrounded by a hot tub and a sauna which we enjoyed too. It was great seeing our 5 year old really take to the water without armbands in the week and by the end of it be diving to the bottom to gather her diving toys. This became one of a few communal spots where the kids got to know their neighbours for the week and made plans to meet up with them later in the day.
- Games room - Including Giant connect 4, Pool table, Table tennis and Table football. This was well used throughout the holiday, providing a great environment for adults and kids to spend some downtime at the start of the week and then for the kids on their own as they made friends and met here together whilst the adults used the bar. (All free which was fab!)

- Horse riding - We went on two hour long novice riding sessions during our stay. We signed up to this primarily for our daughter who was super excited about going and really enjoyed it. We went along as adults too although worth noting if you are doing more than one session that the route followed is the same each time. We'll look to get some lessons in future so that we can take full advantage of this facility next time. The team at the stables though were very friendly and made everyone feel at ease during the ride.

-Parks & play areas
The site has a sandpit and two park areas. These are more targeted at kids under 12, but our daughter really enjoyed playing on them during our stay. There is also large trampoline, bowls court and a football goal on the main lawn too which can be used by all. The grounds are also very beautiful, there is an area around the ponds at the bottom that was great for hide and seek and walking the dog off lead. - Although it is cautioned that the ponds are deep and children should be supervised when in this area.

- Bar & tuck shop
Open three days in the week the bar became one of the adult social spots which was well situated to allow the kids to run around outside and between the games room, sandpit and under 6's play room whilst we could keep an eye on them. The bar was serving a variety of bottled drinks & cocktails (and mocktails for the kids) so everyone got involved and played some table games. This provided a good environment to get to know the hosts Philip & Louise & the other guests during our stay.

- Treatment room
This was a fab facility to have on site, we contacted Hazel who provides the service for the site and was brilliant. We had two massages and also a slightly adapted manicure suitable for our daughter. The whole process was really simple to book and organise so I'd highly recommend giving it a try on your own visit.

- Laundry room - This really helped given the bad weather, there were about 4 washing machines and an industrial dryer (+iron etc) available centrally for us to use. We ended up needing to regularly dry off towels and did a washing load whilst we were there too. Again all free for use by the residents.

Overall fantastic holiday and lovely hosts - we would definitely go back again in the future! - Please see the noteworthy details, food details and activities information too.

Great holiday with the family, with 2 young boys 5 and 8 we wanted somewhere for them to burn off energy and knew Broomhill from visiting over the years since I was a child. Facilities are great, cottages are very comfortable and the grounds and setting are incredibly peaceful and safe to be confident to let the kids roam and play. Philip and Louise were great hosts and looking forward to returning again!

We stayed at Broomhill Manor at the beginning of August with our two daughters 8 and 10. Our reservations about a the British summer weather were half realised and the weather was not fantastic but this is where Broomhill Manor comes into its own. The facilities to keep the children entertained were second to none, we swam in the well appointed indoor pool with jacuzzi, sauna and gym, the out door pool is heated so even if the weather is not hot it’s still fun in the pool. The games room, horse riding and tennis court were all used and the kids had a ball. When the sun shines Cornwall’s beaches are world class and you can drive and walk to them from Broomhill. We stayed in a beautiful little cottage that was well equipped and comfortable, it had everything to properly self-cater for a family, it was clean and welcoming, with a complimentary cream tea for us all on arrival. Our hosts Philip and Louise were always available and always charming and helpful, suggesting restaurants, beaches and day trips. This is their first year at Broomhill and they have plans to add to and enhance the facilities whilst keeping the charm of this beautiful cottages and site intact.

If you want a holiday in the UK that can deliver, whatever the weather then I can’t recommend Broomhill Manor enough, definitely 5 stars.

On our ninth visit. Great base from which to explore North Cornwall. Excellent onsite facilities including swimming pool, tennis court and games room. The self catering accommodation is well equipped and spacious. Highly recommended.

Cottages are a high standard and a lot of the facilities are included: tennis, pool, table tennis, 2 swimming pools (indoor and outdoor - both heated), snooker plus washing and drying machines. Extra paid facilities include for example spa, bar, the ability to order home made food to be delivered to the cottage (with 24 hours notice) and archery (if enough people sign up). All were excellent.

We stayed here during July and got lucky with the weather so the outdoor pool was very popular. There are also stables, a tennis court, indoor pool and spa, an honesty bar, bbq for each cottage, kids play room, laundry room.
Overall good facilities and friendly owners.

Lovely cottages and a wonderful location. Our own hot tub for a week was bliss. Plenty to do in the area and the hosts were very friendly
