About this property
Upper Ring O Bells
Upper Ring O Bells is a delightful and unique Grade II listed, 1780 house in the heart of historic Stratton, beside St Andrews Church and within walking distance of the local shop, pubs and art gallery.
Bude itself is less than 1.5 miles away, with a wide selection of shops, popular surfing beaches, a sea pool, boating canal, golf course, cafes and restaurants.
It has recently been sympathetically restored and is a great get-away for a couple, a group of friends or a family wanting to escape for a long weekend / week and enjoy the countryside and seaside, in delightful surroundings.
You can just relax and chill by the fire, listening to the Church bells sound the hour.
The cottage is everything a country cottage should be, with three lovely bedrooms rooms and new bathroom upstairs.
There is lots of charm and history both inside as well as in the immediate area outside, and the cottage is mentioned in the battlefield walk and the town trail. After a long day of reading and relaxing you can just walk 30 seconds down the hill and meet the Giant in the Tree Inn over a pint!
The nearest beach is just 5 minutes drive away, with lots of rock pools for children to play in, as well as sand that is ideal for sandcastles! The area has some of the best surfing in the country with 33 surfing breaks within 20 mins drive (North and South), from easy sand beaches to world class reefs. More surfing spots compared to anywhere else in the country, and able to handle all wind directions that Neptune can throw at you.
There is also lots of good river fly fishing just a short drive away, several coarse fishing lakes nearby, riding, loads of coastal climbing routes within easy reach, great walking along the SW Coast path, as well as great cycling routes.
On top of all this there is also indoor bowling and an indoor swimming pool just 2 minutes away. Then a quick hop, skip and jump away in Bude you have a fun sea pool on the beach, tennis, bowls, crazy golf and loads of other activities.
Being a listed property, recently restored, we ask that you submit a security deposit, to ensure that you enjoy and love the cottage as much as we do. This is normal practice for most properties you stay in around Europe and the World - thanks for your understanding.

We have recently returned from a short break at Upper Ring O Bells in Stratton & it was a delightful property & find. Ben’s communication from the moment of enquiry was extremely helpful & thorough with clear directions provided from our home address, recommendations of places to eat so we could book in advance & clear access instructions. The property itself was deceptively spacious, with the master bedroom & bathroom being huge and it was well decorated, cared for, clean and had comfortable beds. There was ample room for a family of 4 a Grandmother. The kitchen was extremely well appointed with everything we could possibly require & some basic store cupboard supplies. The house provided a perfect base for day trips to Bude, Widemouth Bay & Boscastle, all fantastic! We also made use of the local pub, a short stroll from the property with very friendly locals. The church bells which chime every 15 mins were a little surprising, but we quickly adjusted to these and they didn’t disturb us too much after the first night. By the time we left we found it all rather enchanting. Thank-you Ben, I’m sure we’ll be back for another stay.
