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.

Overlooking Bude's inner harbour and just 200 yards from the unique sea-lock and Summerleaze beach, it occupies a prime position and proudly boasts that it provides 'The Warmest Welcome in the West'. We serve traditional pub food and drinks with gluten free and vegan options.
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.

Segwaying is a fun activity for all of the family, young and old, as well as couples and friends. If you're looking for something different to do and a little adventure in the Cornish countryside, then book a Segway session!
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.
Only visited once years ago as it doesn’t appear to open in the winter months.

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.
Just the best
February 2023
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.
August 2017

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.
Lovely clean beach. Dogs enjoyed it!

Brilliant cottage with everything you need for a stay in Bude …easy walking distance from beach , restaurants etc . Would definitely recommend.
September 2023
Once again Little Lynstone has provided an excellent stay. The house has everything needed to make you feel at home. Bude has surpassed all expectations once again, just a shame we can no longer afford to move here.
September 2023
A much enjoyable stay. The only thing which would have improved it was if the weather had been a bit better but I don't think you can do anything about that. The property is ideally located with everything within a short walking distance. Would certainly look at staying there again if visiting Bude in the future.
September 2023
Thanks for the fantastic stay this week. Bude is lovely, with everything you could need within walking distance. The house was very comfortable with cosy bed sheets and nice, bog towels. The perfect base to explore all the nearby towns and attractions. Weather was 50/50 but we managed to still do everything we planned to. Brendan Arms highly recommended.
September 2023
We had a great stay at Little Lynstone we have holidayed in Cornwall for many years, but never stayed in Bude before. We were pleasantly surprised how much it had to offer. Loved swimming in the sea pool and Tommy's Pit and enjoyed walking on the beach at low tide. We had a wonderful day at Stangles Beach well worth the climb down and the few naturists were very sociable. Loved the house, comfortable beds and very well equipped. Thank you for the coffee, biscuits etc. Bonnie was very pleased with the bones.
August 2023
Another lovely stay at Little Lynstone weather was mixed but never cold so we had a great time. Brendon Arms didn't disappoint, always worth a visit. The house is a real home from home and the beds are so comfy! Boys did a surf lesson with Big Blue Surf School and had a fabulous time in the waves.
July 2023
Having had pretty rainy and miserable weather for our stay here in Bude, it was lovely having such a well fitted and cosy house to come back to after windy walks on the beaches and afternoons surfing. We thought the location couldn't have been more perfect, being only a short walk from the local beaches, town and river, and of course so close to The Brendon Arms which we spent a few nights at getting a drink.
July 2023
We've really enjoyed our stay at Little Lynstone. The house is a real home from home, in a great location. The weather has been rather wet but we have managed to enjoy our time at the beach when we can. We have liked being able to walk into Bude and try some of the cafes and beaches and enjoyed a couple of evening meals at the Brendon Arms. We hope to visit again in the future.
June 2023
Thank you for letting us stay in this beautiful house. We have been to Bude on a number of occasions and this house is by far the best. I've got a feeling we will be back.

April 2023
We've had a lovely stay at Little Lynstone this week despite Storm Noah bringing the high winds and rain which meant we couldn't use the wood burner. Such a beautiful house with everything we could've dreamed of. Very sad to be leaving but hopefully we can be back soon.
October 2022
Excellent stay at Little Lynstone again it truly feels like a home from home
September 2022
This our 4th stay at Little Lynstone. Every year there have been small improvements. This year it was the plush carpets. The only small criticism is that some people don’t seem to put out the recycling. The collection didn’t fall on the week of our stay. We love Little Lynstone!

Another lovely week at our favourite holiday destination. Apart from storm francis, the weather has been kind.

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.

Segwaying is a fun activity for all of the family, young and old, as well as couples and friends. If you're looking for something different to do and a little adventure in the Cornish countryside, then book a Segway session!
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.
Only visited once years ago as it doesn’t appear to open in the winter months.

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.
Just the best

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.

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.
Lovely clean beach. Dogs enjoyed it!
