Find My Favourite Holiday Cottages in Bude

Formerly known as Bude Haven, it’s no wonder Bude truly is a haven for a perfect family seaside holiday. Sitting comfortably on the Cornish side of the border with Devon, Bude has become a flocking ground for many English holidaymakers because it’s a prime position to explore everything that both exquisite counties have to offer.

Bude's earlier importance was that of a small harbour with a canal heading inland. The harbour still remains but is less of a port and more of a dock for local boats, yet still provides a warm, wonderful atmosphere within this charming seaside resort.
