Top Bude Beach Hotel Reviews

The Beach at Bude

The Beach at Bude

8/10 Good
"Lovely location…breakfast was very nice with good options ..we booked The Beach but were given a room at The Edge. Which is one building away…walked over for breakfast. The room was honestly so small…we had a couple of cabin bags and there wasn’t any floor space for them…no where to sit…nowhere to put anything in the bathroom…shampoo was on the floor of the shower as no shelves…felt claustrophobic in the room with a view over Sainsbury’s car park. No sound proofing …we could hear bathrooms all around. There is parking but it is tricky and we needed to pay to park at the beginning of our stay…It’s a premium price to stay here and just felt really disappointed as had been recommended by friends. Tried to take a photo to demonstrate but difficult to do in such a small space."

Sunrise Guest House

Sunrise Guest House

10/10 Excellent
"An exemplary five‑star experience. Our host for the week Kara was excellent throughout our stay. Every detail was considered, including the thoughtful addition of an extra tea bag to accommodate my preference for stronger tea. The room — and indeed the entire establishment — was immaculate, fresh, and warmly inviting (the locally produced crockery was a nice touch). Breakfast offered a variety of options, each prepared to a consistently high standard. The scrambled eggs with salmon were particularly noteworthy. A further highlight was the morning toast, made with Kara’s homemade bread that set the tone for the day. The overall experience was so impressive that we confirmed our booking for next year before departing. Highly recommended — a genuine 5 ⭐️"
