Welcome to Haruru House, Bude, Cornwall
We bought this property in 2012 after many years visiting the area, to take advantage of the surfing, sea and scenery. The location of the house is ideal, with Crooklets beach and the South West coastal footpath being a 3 minute level walk away. There are 2 pubs on the way to the beach, 2 amazing beach cafes at Crooklets, a supermarket a 7 minute walk away and Bude town centre is 10 minutes by foot. For someone who doesn't like being stuck in a car, once we're here, we leave the car and walk everywhere.
In the last few years we've rediscovered certain aspects of Bude as we've introduced our young son to the area. Aside from the beach and all it offers, there are 3 play areas, crazy golf, ice creams and Bude sea pool, all within easy walking distance. A five minute drive gets you to an indoor wave pool, bowling and a cinema, and further afield, but within 35 minutes drive, there's the Milk Way Adventure Park, the Tamar Otter Sanctuary, sailing, canoeing and walking at the Tamar Lakes and the car-free historic village of Clovelly. The Eden Project is 1 hour 15 minutes away by car.

The origins of the name 'Haruru House'
You may notice references to New Zealand in the name of the house and when you visit. Sarah was born in New Zealand and we got engaged at Haruru Falls in New Zealand, just before we bought Haruru House. Both Bude and New Zealand are equally special to us!
The House
The house sleeps 6 and is a quirky layout, with 2 bedrooms on the ground floor, an open plan living area on the middle floor, and a large ensuite master bedroom on the top floor. There is also an enclosed garden with patio furniture.
The proximity to the beach means it's perfect for sunny days when you want to be out and about, and not stuck in a car and the electric reclining sofas mean that it's awesome for rainy days when you want to veg out in front of a film. You can find further details of facilities on the 'details' page.
