Day 1: Arrive, Explore & Soak Up Bude
Arrive at Cobblestone Cottage and settle straight into your home-from-home, perfectly located right in the heart of Bude. One of the biggest advantages of staying here is that everything is on your doorstep.
Start with a wander through the bustling town centre, where you’ll find independent shops, cafés, and plenty of places to grab a relaxed lunch.
From there, head down to the famous Bude Sea Pool — a must-visit in the summer. Whether you fancy a swim or just want to relax by the water, it’s a great way to ease into holiday mode.
In the evening, enjoy dinner in town before taking a sunset stroll along the beach.
Day 2: Coast Paths, Beaches & Golf
After breakfast, it’s time to explore the iconic South West Coast Path. This spectacular walking route runs right through Bude and offers breathtaking coastal views.
Head north or south depending on how far you want to go — either way, you’ll discover dramatic cliffs, hidden coves, and plenty of photo-worthy spots.
For golf lovers, a round at Bude & North Cornwall Golf Club is a must. Set against the backdrop of the Atlantic Ocean, it’s one of the most scenic courses in the region.
Spend the afternoon relaxing on one of Bude’s sandy beaches, perfect for sunbathing, surfing, or simply enjoying the sea air.
Day 3: Explore Beyond Bude
On your final full day, take advantage of Bude’s fantastic location to explore nearby areas.
You could head to the charming fishing village of Clovelly, known for its cobbled streets and stunning harbour views, or venture along the coast to discover more hidden beaches and coastal gems.
