If the whole idea of yet another Christmas or New Year at home having to negotiate which side of the family you should spend Christmas day with is getting too much for you, then perhaps getting away from it all could be the answer!
There’re lots of things for you to do for all the family at Broomhill Manor, including the heated swimming pool and spa, games rooms and horse riding! There are also lots of things going on in and around Bude for you to combine a festive break in a luxury cottage with some great family days out.
One “mustn’t miss” event for visitors to Bude is the traditional Christmas Day Swim from Crooklets beach which takes place at 11 am prompt and which everyone should experience at least once!
