With views of Bude Canal and glimpses of the sea and Summerleaze beach about 500 yards away, Wharfinger combines period charm and modern comforts with spacious accommodation and a secluded garden.  Suitable for beach going families and not forgetting the dog too, Wharfinger is an excellent base from which to enjoy the facilities of Bude and you don’t even need to use the car once you’ve arrived.  Bude has been voted the best UK Coastal Resort in the British Travel Awards so it will not let you down with its cafes, restaurants and shops galore in this superb seaside town.  Why not enjoy a walk along the South West Coast Path or take a stroll along the towpath; the canal also hires out a pedalo or a small rowing boat for you to enjoy messing about on the water.  There is a sports recreation ground close by where you'll find pitch and putt, crazy golf, table tennis as well as squash courts; and Widemouth Bay, Crackington Haven and Boscastle are all less than 30 minutes in the car where you can explore the North Coast and more.

Enjoy the relaxed pace of Cornish life when you book a holiday in Bude. Cornwall’s most northern town, Bude has been a popular spot for a seaside holiday since the Victorian times and hasn’t lost its allure thanks to its stunning scenery and abundant variety of things to do.

Holidays in Bude are a beach lover’s dream. Right on the doorstep of the town centre you’ll find two huge sweeps of golden sand, Crooklets beach and Summerleaze. Whether you’re dreaming of sunbathing, building sandcastles, swimming or surfing, both beaches offer plenty of space to sprawl out, acres of soft sand, seasonal lifeguard cover and good surfing conditions. If you want to avoid the Atalantic swell, you’ll find the sheltered open-air seawater pool, Bude Sea Pool, on Summerleaze beach, plus there’s plenty of rock pools for those who prefer to paddle. Often much quieter than Bude’s main beaches, Sandymouth Bay is only a 15 minute drive away. Owned by the National Trust, we love its huge sweep of sand and wild sea views. Dogs are allowed here all year round, so it’s a great spot for pet-friendly holidays.

Use your holiday in Bude as an opportunity to learn how to surf; there are several great surf schools and hire shops, catering for all ages and abilities, and Bude’s breakwater offers sheltered waves at Summerleaze beach, perfect for beginners. Those with more experience will love Widemouth Bay, Sandymouth Bay and Crackington Haven, where you’ll find great surf and consistent swell.

The South West Coast Path runs through Bude and offers endless opportunities for outdoor adventures. Follow the headlands to Widemouth Bay, or further still to Crackington Haven, enjoying spectacular coastal views.

If you’re planning a family holiday in Bude, there’s so much to see and do. As well as family-friendly beaches and safe swimming at the seawater pool, you’ll find a leisure centre, crazy golf, soft play, bowling,and more. Keen golfers can play a round at Bude & North Cornwall Golf Club whilst admiring the sea views. For a great day out, jump in the car for 30 minutes to Tintagel and explore the dramatic castle ruins - thought to be the birthplace of King Arthur. Just a stone’s throw from the border with Devon, you can also spend your holiday in Bude exploring North Devon’s fishing villages and beaches.

You’ll find no shortage of great places to eat and drink in Bude, from laid-back beachfront cafés and seafood restaurants to proper pubs and traditional Cornish pasty shops.

Beautiful beaches, super surf, family-friendly attractions and dramatic coastal views are yours to discover when you book a holiday in Bude.

Having visited Bude two to three time a year for the past 10 years, The Brendon Arms has always been a favourite of ours to eat in. Lovely food and very welcoming staff. This time we visited in June 2023 and were very disappointed to see that the menu had changed drastically and wasn't half as nice as it used to be. Staff still lovely but food left a lot to be desired. Therefore we only visited once this time.

I enjoyed myself, but my 15 year old son thought it was a bit slow - he's used to electric scooters, etc. It was more a tour of a holiday park than a "scenic tour", which was a bit disappointing. The whole thing was over in about 45 minutes. Hard to work out where it was from the carpark, as there were no signs.

Museum of Witchcraft
(12 miles)

(2)

A magic experience to enjoy while you’re on holiday in Cornwall, the Museum of Witchcraft is in the village of Boscastle and was the creation of Cecil Williams whose fascination with the subject started in childhood.  He set up the Cornish museum in 1960, saying it was three miles from a prehistoric maze stone carved into a living rock face, ‘proof that from ancient times man and his magic making with the world of spirit were active in this area’.  Today you can visit to explore the collections or enjoy seasonal events such as candlelit evenings and Halloween at the museum.

Summerleaze Beach
(Less than a mile)

(2)

Less the five minutes on foot from the centre of Bude, Summerleaze Beach is an easy beach to get to and enjoy for the whole day.  There’s a river flanking the sandy beach and it’s sheltered by a breakwater, making it popular with families and surfers.  You can book beach huts daily or weekly, and adding to its charm is a part man-made/part natural salt water sea pool to swim in at the foot of the cliff, that’s been welcoming swimmers since it opened in 1930.  There’s lifeguard cover in the summer months, dogs need to be kept on leads from May to September, and there are toilets and disabled toilets close by as well as an RNLI shop, sandy play area, a beach café, and a large car park that leads directly to the sand dunes.

Busy car park but the sandy beach is worth it. Cliff top walks and a tidal pool made this a perfect spot on a sunny day.

Sandymouth Beach
(3 miles)

A spectacular National Trust beach on the dramatic stretch of coast between Bude and Morwenstow.  With an impressive backdrop of sheer cliffs dating back millions of years and sand exposed as the tide recedes, Sandymouth is popular amongst surfers and families alike.  There is a large car park at the top of the cliff and then the walk down to the beach is via a steep path with steps making Sandymouth unsuitable for those who are less mobile. Once on the beach you’ll find a seasonal café, toilets and surf hire along with  lifeguard cover during peak months.

Widemouth Beach
(3 miles)

(2)

Three miles south of Bude, Widemouth Bay Beach is a long, open bay that’s popular with families and surfers, while at low tide there are hundreds of rock pools to explore.  It’s a wonderful place to learn to surf or body board thanks to fantastic conditions and lots of local surf schools in the surrounding area.  There’s free parking at both ends of the bay as well as viewing points.  Dogs are welcome throughout the year on the south section of the beach, otherwise known as Black Rock, but on the northern part there are seasonal dog bans.  It has a wild feel to it, which adds to its appeal, and there is lifeguard cover in the summer, but nonetheless do be careful when swimming.

Black Rock Beach
(3 miles)

The wild Blackrock Beach is found on the south side of Widemouth Bay but becomes isolated at high tide.  The point and reef breaks here make is a well known spot for surfers, and the rock pools exposed at low tide draw families and nature lovers of all ages to this lovely spot.  The cool little café here serves a tasty brunch or lunch including some great seafood.

Breakwater road is a fabulous location for a beach holiday and Warfinger is one of only two? properties that are large enough for an extended family, so it was just what we needed. We have stayed in and around Bude many times and Warfinger is one of the best properties we have stayed in.


June 2022

We had a super week and appreciated the whole house and its calm feel. We didnt feel the lack of anything really. We enjoyed the well-equipped kitchen and cooked supper most nights. We appreciated the new sofas in the back sitting room - lovely. Also the new lamps and lights in the sitting rooms were very welcome. We enjoyed the garden and its privacy. The location is the over-riding winning feature of course and the road continues to be quiet and peaceful. Many thanks. Kinsey Family

Another lovely stay at Wharfinger . Can’t wait to be back next year.


August 2021

Fantastic holiday home within a very short and easy walk of Summerleaze Beach as well as Bude Town Centre. Lots to do in the immediate vicinity; boats on the canal, nice cafes and ice cream parlours. Being so close to the beach meant that when the weather wasn’t fantastic we could pop down for an hour and not have to think about packing for the day. Property itself is very clean and really well equipped. We ate out mostly but if that’s not your thing then the kitchen was stocked with everything you could need to cook up a three course meal every night! Housekeeper is lovely and very accommodating. A lovely place to spend your holiday.


April 2021

A great location, a lovely welcome from Sarah, spotlessly clean and very warm and cosy, we really enjoyed our stay at Wharfinger.
