Stratton is a pretty historic market town and has two excellent pubs and a local shop/post office.
The River Strat flows trough Stratton and the boundary of the paddock. There are no deep water areas and therefore provides a perfect place for children to play. Our guests are able to enjoy complete peace and privacy in the paddock.
On the road from Stratton to Bude, less than a mile from the Pod, there are 3 supermarkets. Bude itself sits on the stunning North Cornwall coastline, has its own Breakwater, beautiful coastal walks, the famous Bude Canal walks, the famous Bude seapool on Summerleaze Beach and RNLI lifeguarded beaches.
​
There are regular bus services which will also take you to locations like Tintagel and Boscastle. Plenty of routes to walk and plenty of car parks in Bude when driving.

"We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Toad Hall pod! Perfect location, perfect hosts! Bill and Sue made us feel so welcome and nothing was too much trouble. The children loved staying at the pod and being given the responsibility of feeding the ducks! Bude town and the beaches are just minutes away. Have highly recommended to family & friends and will definitely be returning."

"We had a great few days at 'Toad Hall' the accommodation is very comfortable and the kids had so much space to run around in the paddock and enjoy the river and duck pond. The hosts were delightful and very welcoming and I would highly recommend a stay here."

“Our stay at Toad Hall was just perfect. The views were amazing, it is such a tranquil setting. We spent a lot of time just lying out in the paddock reading & chilling. We loved the ducks and the girls enjoyed walking up and down the brook by the side of the accommodation. Inside was really lovely and the beds so comfortable, I wanted to take the mattress home lol! Bill was the perfect host and made sure we were settle in and answered any questions we had. Thank you so much, a truly beautiful place you shared with us."
