Great house with all the necessary equipment and space for the 11 of us. The swimming pool was used extensivley and the farm animals were also a hit with the grand kids.
Lovely cottage in lovely location. Clean and tidy with everything you need. Swimming pool and games room to relax in and large playing field for children to play in. Ruth and Andy the owners checked in on us to check everything was ok.|Plenty to do in the surrounding area, from walking to going to the beach or nearby pub.
We had the BEST wedding weekend at Woodlands Manor Farm. It would be near impossible to summarise just how incredible, so brace yourselves...||My partner and I had a fairly simple wedding brief:||1. A venue where we could host all of our family, close friends and bridal parties for the whole weekend |2. Stay close to the coast||We spent months searching for the perfect venue that ticked our boxes and was in our budget, until we stumbled upon Woodlands Manor Farm. Having spent most of my childhood in Bude, yearly camping trips with friends in Bude and my partner proposing on Northcott Mouth beach, it seemed a coincidence that we found the perfect "venue" just 10 minutes away from our favourite spot. We met with Andy who showed us around the site and we instantly fell in love with everything Woodlands Manor Farm had to offer.||The cottages are gorgeous, spacious and well stocked with amenities, sleeping 40 of our guests and family for a long weekend. The pool was a huge hit for the kids (and adults!) and was the perfect way to relax after the big day. The site was PERFECT for a DIY/Festival wedding...The playing field was ideal for the stretch tent, the Orchard was the stunning setting for our ceremony (note: Woodlands Manor Farm isn't licensed for ceremonies!) and the front lawn hosted our drinks reception with panoramic views across the valley. Not to mention, the Coach House - was our gorgeous chocolate box bridal suite which hosted us and our bridesmaids on the morning of the wedding as it's super light, airy and picturesque! ||Andy was a diamond throughout the planning process - Quick replies, friendly, clear and flexible. Having never hosted a wedding on the farm before, we had to think of every little detail for hosting the wedding here and with Andy's help, it was easy! No question was silly or too much to ask. Andy and his families generosity extended beyond expectations when he kindly gifted us a bottle and card, and granted various good gestures such as early check-in, hay bales, freshly mowing the lawns etc. ||Woodlands Manor Farm truly felt like the beating heart of our wedding. Thank you Andy and family for being hugely accommodating and creating such a special weekend for not only us but also every single one of our guests. We are deeply grateful and can't wait to come back with our family and friends in the future. ||Becky and Benjamin X

We had a wonderful family holiday at Woodland Manor Farm. The setting is incredibly peaceful, in the glorious Cornish countryside, and yet there's so much to do. I travelled with a small child, and it was lovely to be able to take her to the soft play area, to the swimming pool or to do the animal feeding on the farm with her. Even if we hadn't had amazing weather, we'd have had lots to do. With beautiful beaches nearby and trips to the nearby sights, we could have spent another week or two there, easily. The house was enormously spacious and characterful, cosy and luxurious at once. We loved exploring the different rooms, slept so well in the comfy beds and enjoyed the terrace for a family barbecue, overlooking the fields. The Wi-Fi connectivity was good, the self-catering facilities were incredible, and I would definitely come back again - it was the perfect place for a family holiday.
What a beautiful setting and a beautiful home! Welcoming hosts, excellent leisure facilities and all in all a wonderful venue and location for excellent quality family time
Fantastic stay, three generations under one roof, clean, tidy, quiet and private with excellent facilities. Would thoroughly recommend! Stayed in the farmhouse which was big and characterful. Little children also thoroughly enjoyed feeding the animals
Excellent location, facilities and hosting. This is our 3rd time and as good as ever. View from our accommodation and walk.Thanks team Andy.
We stayed in the Manor House which suited our three generational family well. It was warm, spacious, well equipped but also charmingly quirky. Three young grandkids particularly loved the soft play in the games room, the outside play equipment and the warm swimming pool. The highlight however was on Wednesday when Ruth took us all to feed the animals and the kids were helpers. Happy kids equals happy adults. Also Summerleaze beach was a beautiful sandy beach with little rock pools and an amazing place to eat or have a drink. We had a lovely holiday thanks to all that Ruth & Andy have created.
Absolutely fantastic, the yurts are well thought out extremely clean and beautiful. The scenery is breathtaking and calming. The amenities are brilliant having a 9 year old who can pretty much run referral with all the lovely stuff to do was amazing. Having a pool in the uk is seriously underrated, after a busy day of being out and about it was lovely to come back and relax in the lovely warm pool. Hosts were also extremely welcoming and helpful! I would go back in a heartbeat. Thank you very much 🙂
My family and I had a brilliant stay. The cottages were clean and well equipped. The grounds are well looked after and the swimming pool/games room were great. We visited the farm animals which my son loved. It’s a lovely quiet area. Perfect week
We had yet another lovely stay at Rose Cottage. This was our 4th stay and we are already booked for next year. ||The cottage and surroundings are fabulous. The children enjoy animal feeding, swimming, playroom plus the woodland walk. ||I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend for a family holiday. ||Many thanks to Ruth and Andy for sharing their gorgeous properties.
The best little family holiday! This was our honeymoon but we took the kids with us! The farm had everything for everyone! Scenic views, lovely woodland walks, feeding farm animals experience with Ruth, very warm indoor swimming pool, games room including pool table, large connect for, ping pong table & soft play! It also had fields & outdoor play area! 10 minutes away from the local village & only 20 minute drive from Bude which was beautiful! |We had the best time here & will definitely be returning! Thank you so much Andy & Ruth!
My family and I stayed here for my wedding week. The location is lovely and quiet. The farm was great, thank you to Ruth for the little farmers experience for my son. Andy and Ruth were kind enough to leave a card and bottle of Prosecco on the morning of my wedding which was a lovely touch. The games room, pool and park were thoroughly enjoyed by all of us. We hope to return!
What a fantastic place to stay near Bude. Plenty for ours kids to do on site (age 5&7) and the games room gave them independence but was really safe, brilliant! Well stocked house with everything we needed and lovely hosts. Loved the animals!
This is a self-catering countryside complex in an ancient Manor Farm environment. There are cottages and a converted farmhouse, 2 Yurts catering for accommodation for various numbers of bed combinations. We hired the whole complex from Friday to Monday as a wedding venue. The non religious ceremony was held in the Orchard ( the complex is not yet registered to carry out weddings) and the reception in the adjoining field under a marquee. We arranged for outside caterers who used the manor house ample kitchens. In the evening, we held a ceilidh followed by a jam session with guests who were musician friends. The owner, Andy, was most accommodating and helpful with our plans. The house cottages and Yurts were very comfortable, clean, and well supplied with white goods, crockery, and all necessary cutlery and cooking equipment. The complex is near Kilkhampton and has amazing views of the wooded valley in one direction and towards the Atlantic coast in the other. There is a children's playground, games room and a very warm swimming pool. I would highly recommend this place for a relaxing holiday.

Stunning location and beautiful cottages
We recently stayed here as a large group in 3 of the cottages – each were lovely and spacious.
Lovely place
The bedding was comfortable, the house was warm and the kitchen had all the utensils we needed. The seating area was great as we could all fit in there to watch videos together. The pool was warm and the games room wasn’t missing anything.
A quiet retreat in north Cornwall, a real gem of a find
Superb stay on a quiet farm. Great facilities which include an indoor pool and a games room. Our cottage was perfect for 2 with a cosy downstairs and a spacious bedroom upstairs.
Beautiful Farm with amazing facilities and lovely owners
We stayed in the newly built luxurious yurts, each with their own kitchen and heated bathroom. We used the heated swimming pool as much as we could.
Fantastic location & facilities.
This was our 2nd visit to Woodlands Manor & it exceeded our expectations. Fantastic for families with children of all ages, as there is also lots to do on-site. Indoor heated pool, feeding the animals, indoor games rooms, with soft play for smaller kids & an outdoor play area, all with beautiful views of Cornwall. Stunning beaches a short drive & town of Bude not far either.
Ruth & Andy the owners are lovely & helpful & we will be visiting again next year.
The cottages were clean & spacious, will be visiting again in the future
Lovely location and period manor house
We stayed in the Woodlands Manor House for 7 days in June. It’s a lovely quirky 6-bedroom period house. Loads of space downstairs with a great conservatory breakfast/kitchen room with a lovely view. Don’t expect perfection as it is an old building with some sloping floors and level changes etc. Very good enclosed garden great for relaxing in the afternoon. We enjoyed the excellent swimming pool on a number of occasions and the games room with its soft play area was also good fun. Hosts Andy and Ruth were excellent and on hand to deal with any issues and to provide advice and recommendations. The early morning animal feeding experience with Ruth was great fun and enjoyable being informative for both children and adults!
Xmas in Cornwall
A beautiful family Xmas in a wonderful place. We stayed in The Stables Cottage. It was top-notch! Facilities and accommodation are exceptionally clean and well maintained, it was warm, cozy and felt like a home away from home. The indoor heated pool and games room were a welcome adage and well timetabled, due to Covid, so each cottage got their individual time. The hosts were incredibly friendly and had thought of every small detail to make it special, we even had a Xmas tree, chocolates and bubbles!! Would definitely stay again and highly recommend it.
Rose Cottage
Had a wonderful stay in Rose Cottage. The surroundings and facilities are brilliant and we all had a great time. The cottage was warm and beautifully furnished. The indoor heated pool, play room and playing field were a hit with us all. Would highly recommend it. Thanks
Budhyn Yurt
As soon as we arrived we loved it, Budhyn yurt we stayed in was perfect, tranquil, and very well organised, the kitchen and bathroom area is spot on with everything you need and extremely clean, the yurt has its own toilet /shower and kitchen area , the yurt opposite also has its own, we took my daughter and our dog and it worked out great, with lots of space for our dog to walk in the meadow walk and the swimming pool that my daughter loved, that again was spotless and well looked after, you can tell that Andy and his family and team take pride in their place and really look after it , with such a friendly welcome as well, which makes you feel straight at home, cannot fault this place one bit, it’s perfect and we miss it already, we will be back, thank you
Jasmine Cottage
Better than the pictures! We had a wonderful stay at Jasmine Cottage. The cottage had everything me and my young family needed. Very clean, warm, cozy cottage. Felt right at home. Excellent facilities. Andy was a very nice and hospitable host. Can’t recommend enough.
