***** It was lovely and we recommended the property. We have stayed here before and love the house. The location at Crooklets is fabulous. The surfing was excellent and local restaurants provided superb food. Ten stars from us.

**** We have had a lovely week down in Bude, despite strong winds and heavy showers all week. Haruru house was lovely and I would definitely recommend it. The layout is over 3 floors and the stairs are quite steep but it does give a lot of space, especially if you have teenagers who want to spend time in their bedrooms. You really are just a 5 minute walk from Crooklets beach and even in the bad weather, it was really lovely to walk along the coast and the teenagers loved clambering over the rocks. The house has incredibly comfy sofas and a great heating system which were a blessing on wet afternoons when we wanted to just chill. There was a covid cleaning sheet signed by the cleaners and everything appeared to be very well cleaned. Checking out did take a bit longer because you have to bag up all of your linen into separate bags, but this was no big hassle and totally understandable under the circumstances. There is a dishwasher and washing machine, and a fully enclosed back garden which is nicely protected from the winds on a sunny day.

***** Comfortable, well equipped house in a quiet location. Incredibly convenient for Crooklets Beach, and only 10 minutes' walk from town. Sarah was a fantastic host, and always quick to respond. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Haruru House, and very much hope to return, next time we're in Bude.

***** Lovely, well equipped and maintained property, very comfortable, spacious with a quiet location with added private undercover parking. Ideal location as the beach is only a couple of minutes walk away and is a perfect coast for bodyboarding. With shops, restaurants etc on the beach front and in Bude town itself are only minutes away, and easy access to main roads for day trips this property is ideal. There was great communication with Sarah the owner who kept in touch throughout. I would recommend this property to everyone who is heading that way.

***** Very good location, quiet cul-de-sac, 2 minutes walk to beach and 5-10mins into town. Lovely house which was clean and well appointed. Great for self catering and lots of choice of places to eat out nearby too. Owners responded promptly to our questions and resolved a minor issue we had very efficiently. Just what we wanted for our week stay. My 5yo daughter loved it and said it had a ‘cute room’ for her to sleep in. Can’t say fairer than that!!

***** Five ladies from Canada had a wonderful week at Sarah’s place in Bude. Everything you needed to dine in or to choose from close by to dine out. Clean, comfortable, quiet, just the birds. Highly recommend and would stay again in a heart beat!

***** This place is an ideal venue for enjoying the beach and the Bude life. We surfed every day we enjoyed the wind in our faces the sun on backs and the sand in between our toes. We walked, surfed, climbed, geocached and had a all around great time. Plenty of space for 6.

***** Excellent location and well equipped property. Well maintained and clean. Lots of info both before and at the house. The Owner, Sarah, kept in touch throughout, which gives confidence that all will be as you expect. Would recommend this property for an adult surfy, walking or touring holiday. Works just as well for a beach break with children. The beach is so close that it is a slow toddler walk back of about 5 minutes. Perfect for splitting up beach time - and no need to mess about with a big cool box of food.

***** Great townhouse over three floors. Two comfortable bedrooms and bathroom on ground floor and access to quiet back garden. Middle floor had well equipped modern kitchen and comfortable living and dining area. Upstairs was another bedroom with en suite bathroom. Everything was clean and tidy. The house is located near Crooklets Beach which is a great location so no need for driving and parking to visit Bude and the local beaches. Crooklets Beach is great for little ones with a nice little cafe and playpark for little ones. Bude is a ten minute walk away and can be reached by the seaside path. Local shops and takeaways are within easy reach as is Bude Golf club. The house was well equipped (excellent wifi, DVD player, PlayStation) and spotlessly clean when we arrived. The house also had lots of beach toys for use (body boards, fishing nets, bucket and spades) which was great to use through the week. Definitely look to return next year and overall a really great location for a trip to Bude.

***** Haruru House is just brilliant. Enough space for the teenagers and for us to have out own haven. Just a couple of minutes walk from the best beach in Bude, five minutes walk to the supermarket and the town. The house was spotless and the facilities well maintained; the welcome gift was a nice touch, too. Personally I really liked the fact that I had enough space to do yoga in the bedroom or the lounge, teenagers depending. Also that we could dry the wetsuits in the garden. It was a fantastic light and airy space to spend a weeks holiday in with three big teenagers, we will be back.

***** We had a fantastic stay at this lovely, well equipped house. The house is split over three levels with a spacious ensuite attic room, an open plan kitchen and living room on the first floor, and two smaller bedrooms and a bathroom on the ground floor. This worked really well for us - my mum was delighted to have a whole floor to herself while we slept on the ground floor with our nine month old daughter. We were provided with a cot and high chair and there were even buckets and spades and body boards downstairs. There is a small garden but the views over Bude are much nicer from the living room. The most impressive thing was how well equipped the house was - they provided things like dishwasher tablets, a washing line and clothes pegs, tin foil, complimentary biscuits...all of those little things that you don't want to have to pack. It was spotlessly clean and the owner was so helpful and efficient, responding to our booking request very quickly and sending suggestions about what to do with our daughter. Crooklets beach is a five minute walk away and you can then walk further 5/10 minutes round the coastal path to Summerleaze. It's also a short walk to Sainsburys which was very handy. We have really fond memories of our first family holiday in Bude and would love to stay in the house again.

***** The house is amazing! The layout is odd but adds to the fun! All appliances work with in the house with us being offered more than expected but would love to stay there again as it was also great value for money coming from 6 students.

***** Stayed at Haruru House during half term, 4 adults and 2 children (14 and 10). Easy booking process and great communication from owner. The house is excellent, on three floors, two bedrooms downstairs plus bathroom, kitchen and lounge/dining are on middle floor and bedroom with en suite on top floor. Good kitchen and lounge are with reclining seats. Table and chairs for 6. But really you don't need to spend much time in doors, the location is excellent, 100 yds from Crooklets beach, walking past 3 good restaurants / pubs on the way. Easy walk across downs into Bude centre 10 mins. Supermarket in walking distance also. Bude has everything you need. Car port for parking 1 car, you could easily not get in the car once you have arrived. Lots of coastal walks around Bude, with lots of places to visit nearby. Overall this is an excellent property and great base to visit north Cornwall and Devon. Location could only be bettered with a sea view, you can't have everything. Would definitely recommend for anyone, we certainly plan to visit again.

*****  Lovely location for a new year break. Right on the doorstep is the beach, the newly renovated Tommy Jacks for cocktails and great food and the fabulous Rosie's for a breakfast that can satisfy even a New Year's Day hangover! The house is light, modern and tastefully decorated and a great place to relax. If it hadn't been for the beach we may have never got the kids away from the satellite tv, games console and reclining sofas. Thanks Carl and Sarah for a wonderful stay!
