About this cottage rental
Mallard Cottage dates back to the mid 1830's. Originally it was a barn where boats were restored but then was modified into a cottage. We purchased the cottage at the beginning of 2012 but unfortunately it was unsafe and most of the original cottage had to be rebuilt to modern standards. Our cottage stands in the heart of Bude and sits on the banks of the River Neet, only 2 minutes walk to the beach and canal. It has its own access road to the rear with parking for 2/3 vehicles and a balcony which overlooks the river and the castle. Large ground floor patio area with palm tree.

Excellent holiday property!
This lovely house is ideally situated in Bude, near enough to walk to local attractions, the beaches, etc, but not central enough to be noisy. It was spotlessly clean and had ample space to accommodate three of us (will actually sleep five). Everything you can think of was provided and the only thing I could think of to improve the property (and this is only a personal preference as I am a light sleeper) is blackout curtains. I would have no hesitation in staying here again.

A wonderful central location
The cottage had a great position in central Bude and we loved being able to watch the comings and goings on the balcony. The clever upside down design gave some lovely nighttime views over the river. The property was clean and perfect for us as 3 adults and 2 little ones.

As usual a lovely week spent relaxing in Bude , pity about the rain on Thursday.
No problem with renting, just a bit difficult finding it online.

Lovely unusual cottage
We have stayed in Mallard Cottage several times and it's a great place. It's well designed with a spacious, living area upstairs and a wrap around balcony with views across the river. The paved garden is lovely too.
We happened to meet the owners this year are they were on holiday nearby. They are really friendly and do everything they can to help. Communication was excellent throughout the whole process.
Everywhere was spotlessly clean and we felt confident that rigorous Covid-19 procedures were in place.

Great cottage in a great location
Fab cottage in the centre of town - we only used the car one day for a trip to Rock For breakfast at The Blue Tomato Cafe. Ideally located for walking and running on the beach, canal and coastal paths. Clean and safe and well presented. Very thoughtful owner and the welcome prosecco, tea and coffee was a lovely touch - definitely one to rebook!

Brilliant spot in an great seaside town!
Modern, light and airy, this property suited our multi-generation group to a 'T.' The balcony caught the sun all day and the patio was great to sit out. Private parking was handy and the spacious, wide-head showers were top notch! Would thoroughly recommend to anyone visiting this great Cornish resort!

Fantastic property and a brilliant location!
We had a lovely long weekend stay in Mallard Cottage. It has been beautifully renovated and it's in a prime location in Bude, we didn't us the car once. Our 3 year old daughter didn't want to come home. Would definitely visit again :)

Lovely place and ideal location!!
Just stayed at Mallard Cottage for a week; smashing place and ideal location for surfing, pubs, walks and shops - did not need car!!
Recently renovated house with upstairs lounge and views of the River Strat and Marshes.
Staggering distance of the Brendon Arms & Falcon Hotel - both serve good beer and food.
Thoroughly recommand Mallard for comfortable family holidays.
