Treat Yourself at One of the Many Fantastic Local Restaurants
Each of our luxury holiday cottages and yurts have kitchen areas that are equipped with everything you need to create your own fantastic meals during your stay at Woodlands Manor Farm. However, for those days when you just don’t feel like cooking, it’s handy to have a nice eatery nearby.
Fortunately, we are lucky enough to have a plethora of amazing cafes and restaurants a short drive away. Just 6 miles down the road, Bude has a thriving dining scene that offers plenty of choice with many options available for all tastes and budgets.

Temple
Enjoy a hearty, seasonal meal in a relaxed atmosphere at Temple.

Life’s A Beach
Overlooking Summerleaze Beach, this cafe and bistro is the perfect spot whether you fancy a small bite to eat or a sit down meal. As is to be expected from an eatery within touching distance of the sea, freshly sourced seafood is their speciality.
