Book a holiday cottage in Bude, north Cornwall for Atlantic coast surfing waves and two excellent sandy beaches. Bude is an unspoiled seaside resort just four miles away from Devon. The attractions of both countries can be yours if you have your own transport. Visit the Eden Project, Clovelly and lots of coastal villages for days out.

Cornwall is a magnet for surfers who come chasing the waves. Whether you surf or not, it is good watching the surfers try to keep upright on their boards. More very good beaches at Widemouth Bay and Crackington Haven. Summer is obviously the best time to visit Bude for a summer holiday. Self catering breaks out of season are quieter and cheaper. These may suit people without children who are not obliged to take their breaks during school holidays.
