Cornwall is a magical place in the autumn. We reckon that the north of the county has the has the most to offer at this time of year too. The wild, rugged and exposed north coast also boasts a number of steep-sided combes with fast flowing streams bordered by golden woodland and of course there is also the […]

Christmas Day in Bude is a bit special! How so? Well at 11am on Christmas morning, Crooklets beach throngs with thousands of people watching hundreds of hardy and bonkers souls take a dip in the Atlantic Ocean – and no wetsuits are allowed! Organised by Bude Surf Lifesaving Club, the oldest such club in the […]

With the kids now back at school we are now starting to get that lovely autumn feeling in Cornwall. It’s a popular time here. Apart from the odd week, we had solid bookings right up to the end of November last year and already this year September is full and a couple of October weeks […]

Holiday Cottage Cornwall Looking for the best holiday cottage Cornwall can be like trying to find a needle in a haystack. There are so many to choose from! The Beach Haven at Bude in north Cornwall is a four-bedroomed bungalow situated just a short ten minute walk from both town and beaches. We are also […]

We’ve been lucky at The Beach Haven, we don’t have too many weeks go by without visitors but January and February are usually good times to get a few jobs done. This winter we’ve replaced all three sets of patio doors and the front door. We’ve also re-tiled the en-suite and fitted a new shower […]

Well, ok not quite. It’s tomorrow (20th) to be precise but it seems the sun hasn’t been prepared to wait. Yesterday and today have been glorious days. Unbroken and warm sunshine. We have guests coming to The Beach Haven on Saturday so I popped over today today to see how the newly tiled en-suite is […]

What is our favourite time of year on the cliffs? Undoubtedly, it’s springtime! From mid-April to mid-June, the cliff-tops become a riot of colour as the wild flowers burst into bloom; the grass is greening up; the evenings are becoming long again; and the sun has redeveloped a welcome warmth heralding the promise of a long, hot […]

One of our favourite spots for a gentle walk is the Rocky Valley between Boscastle and Tintagel, less than half an hour’s drive from Bude. Like many places that are not within direct access of a car park, it is something of a ‘secret spot’. A small lay-by after a tight bend about two and a half […]

October. The word fills some people with dread. ‘Oh no, the end of summer and the start of a long dreary English winter.’ Not us though! OK, it’s always a shame when the summer finally disappears, (although this year it has managed to remain most of the way through September) but October heralds the start of […]

It’s always sad when the end of summer edges closer, particularly when it’s been as lovely as this one, but in Cornwall the sadness doesn’t last too long because an autumn holiday has a special place in our hearts. With the crowds long since departed you can now now experience Cornwall as the locals do – peaceful, […]

We consider a walk to the Rustic Tea Garden to be an essential part of your holiday at The Beach Haven for a number of different reasons! Firstly, its a fabulous little walk; half a mile to the beach and then another mile over the National Trust cliffs to Northcott Mouth, with great views of coast and […]

The outside of The Beach Haven has changed quite a lot since I took the last photos so these new ones are long overdue. On a summer evening it’s lovely to sit outside and listen to the roar of the sea from Crooklets beach. Whether you choose to sit around the lanterns on the table […]

We’re always being asked, in fact we’re always debating it ourselves; which is the best pasty in town? My stock answer is ‘the one I have in my hand’. Is there such a thing a bad pasty? Always keen to be of help, we decided to undertake extensive and painstaking research on your behalf. Here are the […]

Maria loves her roses, in particular the old English varieties so you’ll find plenty in the gardens at The Beach Haven. They are just starting to bloom now and we always think the garden looks it’s best in June. This one is called Rhapsody in Blue.
