Which Bude will you discover?
There’s a lot to love about Bude. With a laid back allure all of its own, and so much to see and do, we have something for everyone. From romantic whiskaways to fun-fuelled family holidays, it’s all here, where Cornwall begins and everyday cares melt away. Bude is repeatedly named (via public vote) as the Best UK Coastal Town winning a series of Silver and Gold awards in the British Travel Awards.
With thrills, spills and pure escapism on the menu, Bude is a little town with big possibilities. Ramblers, riders, surfers and swimmers flock to our sunny, spotlessly clean beaches (all rated as Excellent under new European standards) and wild coastline. However, a little-known secret is that Bude’s also fabulous for secluded golf courses and brilliant sea and coarse fishing.
We all need a little pick-me-up once in awhile, and Bude is just the ticket. Just a stone’s throw from the Devon border, epic, wild beaches and a thriving cultural hub await. Whether you embark on a day or a stay, you can expect one of the warmest welcomes in the South West. We are also child friendly, dog friendly, access friendly… in fact we’re just friendly in general here.
Our website showcases over 300 different holiday cottages, apartments, houses, lodges, static van holiday homes, campsites, guest house, hotel and B&B's. You can browse our listings on our accommodation pages, or use the comprehensive search facility to find accommodation by date, type, occupancy and a whole host of facilities. There is no booking fee, service fee or cleaning fee when you book via our website - and most of the properties here are not available to book elsewhere, like on Air B&B and Booking.com.
This website is also the only online resource to book a Bude Beach Hut.
“Great walks along the beach with stunning views and the Atlantic Ocean crashing into the cliffs. Especially invigorating in Autumn as the winds pick up. Plenty of surf for the adventurous.”
Been coming to Bude for the last ten years, so something must be right! We can’t wait to get there this year. We love it, not too big or to commercial.
“Crooklets is a great beach with great facilities and some of the best waves for surfing and body boarding in the country”
“Back for the second year in a row as Bude and the surrounds make the perfect location for a family holiday, with a toddler in tow. Going home tomorrow, but we will be back! Very friendly locals, great food, beautiful coastline and beaches……plus the BEST cream teas!”
Beautiful Bude. Always a different view, one day calm serene and tropical another wild, dramatic and spectacular. An amazing seaside town with plenty of good shops, excellent places to eat and stay and the additional beauty of the loveliest of canal walks. Stroll down to the sea after dinner to see the most brilliant sunsets and if that's not enough there's always the Bude Tunnel!!!!
“the ruggedness the coastline the sea the town and the countryside all so close but unspoilt part of Cornwall, love it”
Love that Bude is a seaside town but with just enough larger branded shops that means there's plenty of choice if you fancy a bit of shopping or a cake and coffee. You can park the car and not move it for a week if you wanted. Plenty to do, lots of walks if you don't want to spend the day sitting on the beautiful long sandy beach, loads of places nearby to visit. Absolutely love the modern wine bar right in the middle of Bude where you can sit and watch the world go by. One of my all time favourite places in Cornwall.
“Many happy holidays in Bude. One day I’ll retire here”
One of the best places to holiday. Very central so you can get out and about. Very friendly, absolutely beautiful coastline, and this is reason we have been back 5 or 6 times.
We’ve been to Bude for four years on the bounce as a family holiday. The beaches, the access to wider areas of Cornwall, the shops, the town. It’s all just great. The people we have met there have been really friendly and nice. We are going back this year and looking forward to a relaxing time and some great food and fresh fish. Love it...
