On The Farm

We are the Peters family and we are lucky enough to live on and run Woodlands Manor Farm. We moved from London - September 2019, swapping a life running software companies for a life in sunny Bude and tourism. We love the change and our goal is to ensure you have the best holiday possible with family and friends and make happy memories that last a lifetime.

Regardless of age you will enjoy the heated indoor pool at Woodlands. Lane swimming or kids playing there are no limits to the fun. The pool is kept at a warm 30 degrees so its a comfortable swim all year round.

The Games Room is a hot favourite with all our guest and provides a great chance for all ages to relax and enjoy a wide range of games and activities - we have soft play, table tennis, foosball, GIANT connect four, darts and pool.

For outdoor play we provide a playing field complete with a magnificent view, swings / climbing frame and slide. The field also has two football goals, for that impromptu kick around with the kids.

The Woodlands are simply magical, especially in April and May when there is a carpet of Bluebells covering the ground. Dogs are welcome to roam, but don't forget your wellies, as it can get a bit muddy in winter by the stream.

The animals make the farm a special place for everyone. Twice a week, on Sunday and Wednesday, the kids (and big kids) join Ruth for a feed the animals experience and get to meet them all up close - pigs, sheep, alpacas, horses, rabbits, goats, chickens and the cat.

We are definitely spoilt for choice when it comes to beaches. Vast expanse of golden sand at low tide and rock pools at the top of most of the local beaches for crabbing. Our closest beach is the stunning Duckpool, which is protected by The National Trust. Also close by is Sandymouth and Northcote and the Bude town beaches of Crooklets, Summerleaze and Widemouth Bay.

So many stunning walks close to the farm and the local area. We are just 2 miles from the South West Coast path and also at the top of the Coombe Valley (leads to Coastal Path), Stowe Woods and Kilkhampton Common.

Bude has a vibrant art community and many artists offer courses so you can acquire a new skills or advance one you already have. From learning to paint sea scapes with Hannah Jenkinson or a pottery course at Welcombe Pottery or even wood turning at Hide Studio there is something for everyone. Contact direct to discuss your requirements.

If you would like to have a lovely meal ready for your arrival or have a special event and would rather rely on the expertise of an outside caterer, we have an excellent private chef called Nicky who will deliver to your cottage.

Why not treat yourself or your partner to a bit of pampering during your stay with us? We have a qualified therapist called Leanne who offers a wide range of treatments. She can carry out the treatments in the comfort of your own cottage.
