Cornwall is a fantastic place to holiday. From traditional pasties to coastlines that mirror that of a Mediterranean getaway in the light of sunshine. The fact all these amazing elements that can provide an unforgettable holiday sit at the foot of our country is something we must all take advantage of! Bude is one of the most amazing places in Cornwall.
For me, the coastline surrounding Bude is the perfect base for exploring the surrounding landscapes of the Cornish coastline. Bude is hub that can provide a beautiful area to stay, allowing you to immerse in a romantic getaway, explore the natural haven of nature and geology or chase the adrenaline rush of water sports.
I love Bude, it is one of my favourite places in the entire world. It is also the most tranquil getaway for me to enjoy working remotely. If you also work remotely, why not book in with my property to escape from the everyday norm, while still giving you the ability to work from a very peaceful, tranquil place?
Here’s an easy-to-digest list of some of my favourite Bude facts and why it makes the perfect staycation!
A surfer’s dream!
The surrounding beaches of Bude boast fantastic waves for surfers to catch!
Crooklets beach is an especially great spot. The beach receives excellent sandbar waves on South and Southwest swells. These fast, hollow waves are great for experienced surfers, but also a good fit for beginners and all you holidaymakers wishing to try out surfing for the first time.
The surrounding areas of Bude are also great for water sports. A great time to visit is during the autumn months, whilst seawater is still warm from the summer months, but beaches are quieter. If you’re looking for more of a beginner’s introduction to water sports, a summer vacation may be just what you’re looking for a safe, but extremely fun, introduction with an instructor.
Explore the canal route
Bude canal follows a historic and beautifully scenic route, dotted with delightful little eateries and benches with idyllic viewpoints. It is the ideal walk for a blissful Saturday afternoon on a romantic weekend getaway.
Along the canal there are sites to hire kayaks, canoes and pedaloes, appealing to those with more adventuring spirits. These make perfect activities for families with young children by dipping into the world of water sports with all that Cornwall has to offer. However, these activities are a little tamer than a harsh safe, perfect for a fun day out with little tots!
Bude sea pool
Bude sea pool is free and unrestricted to everybody! Based at Summerleaze beach, the pool is perfect for a summer splash with family. It is also a calm way to enjoy the beautiful beach landscape and take a dip, without the disruption of bustling waves!
Spa days
Spa destinations, such as The W Club in Whalesborough which I shall link here, are just a short drive from Bude and offer the most relaxing and blissful days out for friends or couples. The W Club provides a couples day, giving you and your partner a chance to explore the dreamy facilities, calming treatments and outdoor hot tub!
Historic outings at Bude Castle
Bude castle is the perfect example of the historical elements channelled throughout Bude. Educational, architecturally beautiful and full of British heritage and complete with art galleries.
This spot makes a great day out or even the perfect wedding destination!
The perfect hub
I believe that you will love Bude as much as I do. My luxury 2 bedroom caravan, “Seascape“, (sleeps 4 comfortably within the two bedrooms plus up to 2 on the sofa bed) and is the ideal escape, a real home from home. This is my second home and I love to stay here, especially in the Winter watching the waves and sunsets. Walking, surfing, beach, open-air salt pool, rock pooling, kayaking, cycling, rivers and canals, it’s there for everyone.
The caravan has a beautiful, modern feel, and a charming veranda and patio area for you to enjoy the warm summer evenings.
