The Budle Bay Croft Experience – fun to be had by all – inside or out. Our child, couples, and pet friendly holidays are centred around you!

Budle Bay Croft (BBC) itself is located on gently rolling landscape, bordered by the Waren Burn to one side. Woodland, grazing paddocks, play areas, and walks make up this charming, often described as magical small holding. Be you young, or young at heart, if you like open spaces, kicking leaves, and splashing in puddles, feeding animals or just plain night sky gazing, Budle Bay Croft could be right for you. It’s there if you want it, but you can shut the door and snuggle up in the comfortable, cosy cottages if you don’t! Budle Bay Croft is ideal for families looking for child friendly holidays, but is also very romantic for couples, great for groups of mates, and is also pet friendly. 5* luxury for everyone – even pooch! We love welcoming pets. There are acres of grounds for dogs to run and play, and we provide a dog bed, bowls and treats too. We can organise doggy day care if you need it, although many local attractions and activities are dog friendly. We can even recommend local restaurants that welcome our four legged family members – no compromise for them or you!

Outside, there are farm animals year round on BBC. We have strived to create a safe and nurturing petting experience to help the littleys learn about animals. There are ewesually sheep, cluckin’ chickens, quackin’ ducks, and oinkin’ pigs, and sometimes others too like yuletide turkeys, gobblin’ guinea fowl or a cheeky pony called Jaspar. There is something to do everyday of the year on BBC. Our happy animals love petting and attention, and some are playful and curious, eating out of your hands or skipping across the fields to say hello. Children will have a blast with the animals all day. They can help us wake up the sleepyheads and give them breakfast in the morning at the Breakfast Baa. The pigs love fresh fruit and vegetables each day, and a tickle and scratch while they munch. The ducks love bread while the chickens like to eat just about anything (except chicken! ). The children (or adults! ) can also go on an egg hunt for their own freshly laid breakfast too!
