Bude holiday parks & lodges

Enjoy a fantastic family holiday by the sea

Bude is the perfect destination for families looking to get out and explore the stunning Cornish coastline. The sandy beaches are no doubt the biggest draw for both adults and little ones. Build sandcastles on the shores of Summerleaze Beach, splash around in the sea on Crooklets Beach, explore the rock pools on Northcott Mouth Beach or enjoy a family picnic on Widemouth Bay. For families who fancy taking up surfing, there are plenty of surf schools in Bude that offer lessons and equipment for all ages and abilities. Other ideas for family fun include renting bikes and cycling along the Camel Trail or hopping on a boat trip along the Bude Canal. Many of our Bude holiday parks feature top-notch onsite facilities like an indoor swimming pool, games room and evening entertainment, meaning fun for the whole family whatever the weather!

Explore walking trails with your four-legged friend

Bude is a fantastic destination for dog-friendly holidays in Cornwall and short breaks. Many of our holiday homes are pet-friendly, and some even let dogs stay free! If you and your pooch are desperate to feel the sand between your toes, then you're both in luck, as there are plenty of dog-friendly beaches in Bude. Whilst the main beaches in Bude usually have seasonal restrictions in place, the sandy shores of Northcott Mouth Beach, Black Rock Beach and Sandymouth Beach allow dogs all year round. Always be mindful of other beach-goers and check on local restrictions regularly to make sure you're up to date on the latest information. The other thing Bude offers in abundance is scenic walking trails, allowing you and your furry friend to stretch your legs through picturesque countryside, along enchanting coastal paths and beside the tranquil canal. Popular dog-friendly routes include parts of the South West Coast Path and the Bude Canal towpath.

Book a romantic getaway on the coast

From Cornwall hot tub lodges and cosy log cabins to unique glamping holidays in the South West, our choice of self-catering accommodation in Bude provides the perfect base for a romantic retreat or last-minute break with your partner. For couples who love culture, visit Bude Gallery, with its collection of contemporary art by local and national artists, or head to the Bude Castle and Heritage Centre, where you can view exhibitions on local history, culture and art. The castle itself offers panoramic views of the town and coastline. If you're wanting to make the most of the Cornish sunshine, then there are plenty of outdoor activities to enjoy as a couple. Enjoy a sunset picnic from the clifftops near Compass Point, go for a candlelit dinner at one of Bude's fine-dining restaurants, or get active with a couples' surfing lesson followed by some relaxing sunbathing on the beach. Top it all off with a glass of your favourite tipple back at your luxury lodge in Cornwall.
