Guest House Bed and Breakfast Accommodation Bude

Bude became a very popular Resort town in the closing years of the 19th Century. The arrival of reliable rail travel made Bude a popular holiday destination and brought prosperity. Many sought romance and appreciation of the Arthurian Legend, and took the Atlantic Coast Express from Waterloo. Prior to this Bude had been a small harbour town best known for its canal which was used to carry its fertilising sea sand inland to improve the quality of the farmland. Bude’s sea-faring history is extensive, with its position on a “smugglers coast” and a breakwater to provide shelter from the sometimes ferocious Atlantic rollers for coastal trading in meat, grain, coal and daily supplies. Bude is a working fishing port today. You can explore much of our history in the newly refurbished “Castle” museum or by visiting the Bude Canal – repairs following storm damage to the lock gates are under way early summer 2008, and a regeneration project is under way, helping to tell the Bude Canal story. Cornwall or Kernow has a religous history dating back to the Irish and Breton saints who braved the seas to bring Christianity to our shores, St Piran, St Petroc, St Tudy, St Just, St Enodoc, St Mawes amongst many. The towns name Bude is meant to be a shortenning of Bede Haven “the wise man’s harbour” For Parents, Children and Grandparents, Young couples, the solo walker or cyclist, yachtsmen, golfers, horsemen and women, kayakers, and very especially surfers Bude has a great deal to offer. There are two main beaches, with the famous sands of Widemouth Bay within a few miles. Sandymouth, Northcott Mouth, Millook with its world famous rock formations are very near. Boscastle, St Nectans Glen, Clovelly, Hartland Point, Padstow, The Eden Project, and many other beautiful south and North Coast towns and attractions are easily reached for an enjoyable day out.

Our hosts were extremely accommodating, letting us store surf boards and wet suits. A wide range of hearty breakfasts fulfilled our appetite for a full days surf. Our rooms were of a trendy decor, equipped with a generously sized flat screen TV, a Kettle and of course a Power Shower! (A breath of fresh air from the normal “Nan’s house” floral curtains, accompanied by the mustard carpet!) All in all, I would definitely recommend anyone to stay here, if not just to experience the plate full of maple syrup pancakes in the morning and of course our friendly hosts! Thank you Sunrise B&B for going above and beyond to make us feel welcome and relaxed! Bude has been voted the 7th Best Beach Destination in the UK by TripAdvisor! This is a much deserved award for Bude. Being voted as one of the best UK Beach Holiday Destinations based on millions of reviews and opinions on the TripAdvisor website shows the world that they really should come and Discover Bude.

We had the same wonderful welcome that we had last year. The rooms were perfect and the breakfast was second to none. Plenty of choice and beautifully cooked. The dining room was immaculate and the tables were set out with beautiful blue and white china. The owners are fabulous .We’ll definitely book up there again when we’re in Bude next. ‘Tremendous’ score of 143 earns charity golf contest win Wednesday, 22 August 2012 COMPETITORS: Representing the Carriers Inn are, from left, Chunky Philp, Paul Maynard, Nick Wilce and Mike James. EIGHTY-eight players enjoyed the hospitality of the Bude and North Cornwall Golf (NCGC) Club for the annual Rotary Charity Golf Day on Sunday, August 5. On the previous afternoon the weather had been a series of heavy showers, but for the competition it lived up to the name of ‘sun’ day. This, coupled with very little breeze, led to some remarkable scores from the winning teams. 12th November 2012
