Views of Bude Canal and glimpses of the sea and Summerleaze beach about 500 yards away.
Wharfinger combines period charm and modern comforts with spacious accommodation and a secluded garden. Suitable for beach going families and not forgetting the dog too, Wharfinger is an excellent base from which to enjoy the facilities of Bude and you don’t even need to use the car once you’ve arrived. Bude has been voted the best UK Coastal Resort in the British Travel Awards so it will not let you down with its cafes, restaurants and shops galore in this superb seaside town. Why not enjoy a walk along the South West Coast Path or take a stroll along the towpath; the canal also hires out a pedalo or a small rowing boat for you to enjoy messing about on the water. There is a sports recreation ground close by where you'll find pitch and putt, crazy golf, table tennis as well as squash courts; and Widemouth Bay, Crackington Haven and Boscastle are all less than 30 minutes in the car where you can explore the North Coast and more.
Outside
There are three levels to the outside space at Wharfinger: reached by a few steps with hand rail from a small terrace accessed from the breakfast room and rear sitting room is a sheltered patio with seating and a small table; further steps lead to a paved area with a table and seating for eight to eat outside; and a third flight of steps leads to a pleasant lawned area with central tree.
The local area
Bude, situated on the Atlantic Heritage Coast in North West Cornwall, has been a popular destination for holidaymakers since the Victorian times. While the history of the town is certainly one of the things that makes this quintessentially Cornish seaside location so attractive, it's the breathtaking scenery and stunning coastal views that keep our holiday cottage guests coming back to Bude year after year.
The town itself enjoys two wide, sandy, family-friendly beaches, Crooklets and Summerleaze, the second of which features a sheltered sea pool ideal for little ones to have a safe salt water dip unaffected by the tides. There are also several other excellent beaches within in a short drive of Bude, including Widemouth Bay, a well-known surf beach that also offers a variety of other water sports for those looking for an active holiday. The majority of local beaches in Bude are dog friendly, which is ideal for those who couldn't imagine a holiday away without the family's best friend!
The magnificent South West Coast Path is easily accessible from Bude, providing far-reaching views of the beautiful, rugged coastline, and some of North Cornwall’s best walks. Whilst Bude town centre boasts a fantastic selection of places to dine out. From locally sourced seafood, Asian Cuisine, trendy diners and traditional pub food, Bude's extensive culinary scene can cater for all tastes.
Local day trips from Bude include the chance to delve into the mysteries of Cornwall with a visit to Tintagel Castle, the legendary home of King Arthur and Merlin. Alternatively take a short scenic drive along the coast to picturesque Port Isaac to indulge in hearty seafood dishes then listen to traditional sea shanties from the Fisherman's Friends on the Platt.
Our holiday cottages near Bude can cater for either small or large groups, and provide the perfect base to explore the town’s beaches, sample the local sea food and enjoy Cornwall's slower pace of life.
