Bude Haven Hotel, Bude

A restaurant with rooms

Advantages: The Food
Disadvantages: Not inexpensive

The Falcon Hotel is one of Cornwall's oldest coaching inns. It is not the cheapest place to stay, 2006 prices were £52.50 per person (off peak) per night B & B. The hotel has a website which contains information on the hotel, tariff etc (www.falconhotel.com). The hotel is sited in a prime location for the centre of Bude, there is a Pub next door to the hotel. When we stayed in the hotel there was no particular noise from next door. The Beach is a three minute walk away Our stay at the Falcon was enjoyable. It is true to say that it is a nice hotel. At first sight the hotel accomodation is priced on the slightly expensive side. That said the room we stayed in was spotlessly clean, recently refurbished. The sort of room one would expect a good 3* hotel to offer. The decor and furnishings were of a good quality and most importantly ...

Review of Falcon Hotel, Bude, Cornwall

BUDE! Beautiful BUDE but where is it?

Advantages: Sun,Sea,sand & surfing, & much, much more.
Disadvantages: Occassionally everything disappears under the sea mist.

the year 2000. It is called the Bude light. I will download a picture of this as it easier than trying to describe it, better still come see for yourself.! The RNLI, have their annual event alongside the canal, with marquis full of local tallent, band and entertainment for the children. A dramatic air sea rescue takes place on the beach much to the delight of the young ones, seeing a rescue team winching someone from the sea , the helicopter from our local air ambulance team. On occassions being called to a real rescue, ofter nearby. Each year in August we have a week of Jazz. The town resonates to the sound of the blues, from hotel to pub, to street band, and carnival parade where evryone dresses in the style of the olden days and twirl their colourful umbrellas in time to the music. Several of these bands perform for free, others ...

Review of Cornwall (England)

A meal fit for a queen?

Advantages: Great views, good food
Disadvantages: Over-priced and slow service

On our recent trip to Bude Mr Tart and myself were looking for somewhere posh to eat on the Saturday night. We had despaired because a wander around the town the night before had established that Bude was not awash with restaurants. We used the Internet to see if we could find anywhere and came up with the Castle Restaurant, which promised fine dining and stunning views ? it looked perfect! LOCATION: The Castle is located inside Bude castle. This is not (much to my historical disappointment) a real castle but a Victorian building with some Victorian revival towers and crenellations thrown in! The castle overlooks the water and the location is good for those promised stunning views. The Castle is easy to spot in Bude and was within 10 minutes walk of our guesthouse. There is car parking nearby if you are coming from further ...
