About this property

Bay Cottage, a section of Ebbingford Manor, 850 yr old manor house by beach&town

Bay Cottage is a section of Ebbingford Manor. It dates back some 850 years, once opened to the public, this manor now offers a delightfully romantic & interesting self-catering holiday let.
Bay Cottage is the first door you come to as you come up Ebbingfords' driveway, with its own off road parking space near to its front door. You enter straight into the living/dining room, a vaulted ceiling with a sky light makes this a lovely light room. It's walls combine beautiful old stone with wood panelling, a trait throughout this old manor. The Living/Dining room has a small oak dining table with two chairs; a sofa; wood burner; TV, CD/Radio with USB/Bluetooth& WiFi available.. The bedroom has a kingsize bed, a small wardrobe with 3 drawers and further storage space under the bed. The kitchen has gas cooker, washing machine & microwave. The bathroom has a shower over a corner bath and toilet. The whole property is on the ground floor and only about 500ft total with gas central heating. Bed linen and towels supplied. Garden with table & two chairs.
Dogs are allowed, for small/medium breeds only due to size of accommodation. The garden adjoins the rest of the manors grounds, so not secure for dogs to roam freely.
Located in the centre of town, Ebbingford is little known even in Bude, set quietly back in a secluded area, tucked away from the westerly winds under the lee of Efford Down, making it a wonderful sun trap on those clear days. Plenty to explore with coastal walks, sandy beaches, golf, fishing, surfing and swimming right on your doorstep. Plus Clovelly, Boscastle, Tintagel Castle, Rock & Padstow just 30 minute drives a.
Pub approx 100metres away, shop 200 metres & beach 400 metres.

Compact, everything you could need, great shower, most amazingly comfortable bed, huge fluffy towels, comfortable sofa table and chairs. This was our second stay and it's still one of the best in Bude, close to beach, canal, pub and town. If we get to Bude again it will definately be on our list.

Perfect holiday space for two people. Ideal location and private parking spot within grounds and just a short walk to the town centre. In short, everything we hope for when we book accommodation!Very happy customers!Just a footnote for any future visitors, Life's a Beach, the Olive Tree (-amazing Ploughmans) and La Bocca are the pick of the local eateries...All three outstanding.

For a person holidaying alone, this was great. I loved the closeness to the town and the beach. And many other beautiful destinations within easy reach. The cottage had all I needed and was ideal for a cosy autumn stay. A real gem.

Bay Cottage

Bay cottage was small but clean, lighting could have been brighter in all areas and a safety handle for getting out of the shower would be good. The position of the cottage was great for visiting Bude, a short walk to town and beach and to local pub for eating out. We enjoyed our stay at Bay Cottage and would consider using again.

Tucked-away Holiday Home … just a few minutes stroll from beaches and town.

A perfect holiday home for two with everything we needed for our week-long stay, including on-site parking (a boon in Bude). Once through the stone pillared gateway, we felt as though we were off the beaten track … yet a few minutes got us to the canal (easy circular walk, passing through a nature reserve), the wide and sandy beaches, the Heritage Centre (free entry to museum art exhibitions cafe) and the town (cafes and independent shops galore).Our friendly hosts were on hand should we have needed them, but everything went like clockwork. The bed was super-comfy, the living room had good dining and seating areas, the kitchen had crockery and cutlery for four and the bathroom had a constant supply of hot water (we bathed; we didn’t shower). There isn’t a fenced area for a dog … but with so much dog-friendly choice on your doorstep, it didn’t present a problem. I have resolved to check for future availability of this wonderfully-located hideaway.

About the host

Hosted by Gina D'Angelo-Stamp

Host profile image
Ebbingford Manor is owned and looked after by us, Jonathan & Gina D’Angelo-Stamp.
Jonathan is the third generation of the Stamp family to own this near, 850 year old manor, first acquired by his grandfather Sir Laurence Dudley Stamp in 1953. Jonathan recently retired from travelling around the world performing his own comedy juggling and unicycling show on cruise ships, preferring now to be at home in gorgeous Bude with his family, surfing and maintaining the manor.
Before the children arrived I too worked as an aerialist and acrobat, travelling the world performing shows at corporate, private and public events. I now manage our holiday lets within the manor, caravan and Munster Cottage on Summerleaze Beach and enjoy the fun crazy life of young kids and the wonderful community of Bude.

Why they chose this property

Located in the centre of town, Ebbingford is little known even in Bude. Set quietly back in a secluded area, tucked away from the westerly winds under the lee of Efford Down, making it a wonderful sun trap on those clear days.
Jonathan loved growing up here and since travelling the world with his career and living 8 years in Hawaii, Ebbingford and Bude were still where he dreamt of settling and bringing up his family.
Being a keen surfer, having Summerleaze beach a few minutes walk around the corner, with it's good reputation for surf is a huge bonus and having stunning coastal walks right on our doorstep is a joy.
Bude is a lovely small town with more Cornish attractions not far away, Clovelly, Boscastle, Tintagel Castle, Rock & Padstow just 30 minute drives away.
