OUR REVIEW
THE NEIGHBOURHOOD
The Beach at Bude sits above Summerleaze Beach on the North Cornish coast, just minutes from the town centre. A two-minute walk through the dunes will take you straight onto the beach, with the South West Coastal Path a stone's throw away. A short stroll takes you to Bude Sea Pool - a part natural, part man-made pool, providing a superb spot for open-water swimming.
By car: just off the A39 to Bath, the hotel is an hour and 20 minutes from Exeter or Plymouth and two hours from Taunton.
By train: Bude doesn't have great train links. It's best to jump off at Exeter St Davids and transfer to the hotel by bus or car (1 hour 30 mins). Book trains to Exeter St Davids.
By plane: Newquay Airport (1 hour's drive) and Exeter Airport (1 hour 20 mins drive).
THE LOOK AND FEEL
Part of an original Victorian terrace, The Beach at Bude has been masterfully renovated whilst retaining its heritage style. Décor is fresh with a breezy coastal aesthetic; think New England beach-chic, with comfort at the core. The striking bar design, inspired by a private members' club in Media City, Manchester, provides a superb focal point.
THE FACILITIES
A genuine escape from the hustle and bustle, the Beach allows guests to sink into a little luxury. Sample some delicious West Country dishes and soak up tranquil views, with young, affable staff that are happy to offer plenty of tips and recommendations during your stay.
