Semybadazee

Semybadazee is a single-storey property 200 metres from Widemouth Beach, set at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac. Everything you need for a self-catering stay is here: heating and electricity are covered, bed linen and towels provided, and Wi-Fi included throughout. A wood burner keeps the main living space warm, with logs supplied to get you started. One dog stays free, and there's an enclosed garden with patio furniture and private parking for two cars.

The open-plan ground floor contains a living area with smart TV, a well-equipped kitchen with dishwasher and washing machine, and a dining space. Three bedrooms sleep six: the first has a zip-and-link super king (or two singles on request) with en-suite shower; the second a king bed; the third a double with doors onto the garden. A family bathroom with bath and shower completes the layout. A highchair and welcome pack are provided. Smoking is not permitted.

From here, the beach is a short walk—no need to hunt for parking or pay for it. Bude's shops and restaurants lie 3 miles away. The coastal path to Hartland Point and the Planekeeper's circular route work well for walkers. The garden has 11 steps.
