Our catchment area

  • We promote accommodation in the Bude area (Morwenstow to Crackington Haven and across to the Devon Border)

Membership with VisitBude is a two-way relationship.

We ask you:

  • To promote The Bude Way (our visitor and business charter) in your property and on your website
  • To display a VisitBude membership logo on your website with reciprocal link to the VisitBude website
  • To operate a safe, clean, and legal business
  • To pay our commission in a timely manner upon receipt of invoice
  • To offer fair pricing and cancellation policies
  • To communicate with guests promptly
  • To keep your availability calendar up to date (you can use iCal links if you have an existing booking calendar)
  • To provide quality images and descriptions (we can help with this)
  • …and we hope you’ll engage with our Sustainable Tourism Project (we have four staff dedicated to this) and participate in our ‘Green Leaf’ award scheme
