Reviews

We stayed at the Beach Haven in June 2019 and can’t recommend it highly enough! A beautiful quiet location but close enough to Bude to walk into town or down to the sea.

The cottage is beautifully furnished and kitted out, there was nothing we needed and the welcome tray of scones, cream and jam plus coffee, tea and wine was much appreciated!

A really lovely experience and we were sad to leave.

We’ve just returned from our third visit to the Beach Haven and it just gets better. It’s beautifully furnished and well equipped, situated within easy walking distance of the beaches and town. We, and our dogs, just love it there. All guests are guaranteed a very warm welcome from Tim and Maria.

Lovely clean spacious cosy luxurious stay for my husband, myself and our dogs. The best welcome pack we’ve EVER seen! Some lovely thoughtful touches. Thank you so much for providing a really good quality holiday home.

We stayed here in April/May 2018. We arrived early and Tim was there to welcome us. The Beach Haven blew us away. Every little thing was covered from children to dogs! We found reusable coffee cups and drinks bottles to dog leads and surf boards! The Beach Haven was more that big enough for our party of 4 adults & one infant. Being a bungalow was a huge plus with a toddler and the garden was great - especially the decked area and raised platform to view sunsets.
Within walking distance to the beach, town & coastal path we always had something to do on the doorstep.
We enjoyed every bit of our weeks stay here and would love to come back to a wonderful relaxing property that really does have everything & more.

We have stayed twice at the Beach Haven and are due to visit again soon. The bungalow is nicely furnished with everything you could wish for. The garden is lovely and the raised sitting area is beautiful. Our dogs, and us, just love it here. Easy walking distance to the beach and the town.....perfect!

We stayed here for Christmas must say best Christmas ever. Lovely couple very warm welcome and lovely sweet treats.
House is very spacious but still homely. Couple of minute walk to the beach perfect location.

Our second visit to Beach Haven and Maria’s delicious scones awaited us on our arrival along with other treats. Very comfortable week despite the weather. Black rock beach south, just a 10 minute drive away, is a must for those with dogs who like beach access all year round, ours loved it.

I have just come home from two weeks stay at The Beach Haven and what a fabulous time it was. This is like a home from home with a fabulous kitchen that is so well equipped. Beds are really comfortable. Thank you for the fabulous welcome pack, with cake and scones baked by Maria. Delicious !!
My little dog enjoyed himself too and even he had a welcome pack of doggy treats and pack of poo bags.
The place was spotlessly clean and cosy especially with the open fire on a cool evening.
Thank you Tim and Maria.

Thank you so much Tim and Maria for all the personal touches to the Beach Haven including the delicious cream tea and cake left for us on arrival. The Beach Haven is fantastic, a definite home-from-home - could easily live here. Everything had been thought of and was immaculately clean throughout. Beds were so comfy. A big thank you from all of us!

We have had such a wonderful week here! The place is wonderful with everything you could possibly need. Would highly recommend and hope to return one day.

Lovely welcome from Tim and the cake, scones, wine and eggs! We've all enjoyed a wonderful week. Sometimes places don't live up to the website photos but the Beach Haven certainly does! Lots of space for the three little darlings to stretch their legs and the adults to relax.

Had a totally fabulous time in this lovely cottage. Enjoyed the outdoor space (and the music collection) very much, not to mention the easy walk into town. We hardly used the cars at all! A perfect beach holiday was had by and we're already looking forward to coming back.

What a lovely home-from-home accommodation. We have been coming to Bude for over 15 years in the summer staying at various parks and houses but The Beach Haven has been the best by far. It's all the little touches like welcome food and wine that adds the extra specialness to this holiday home. Thank you for sharing you home with us. Happy New Year 🙂

What an amazing place to stay in. Everything supplied for a complete holiday.  Beach 5 minutes away great for the dogs who enjoyed it as much as we did. Great restaurants for eating out. Many thanks for the goodies on arrival.

A lovely sunny October week at The Beach Haven. Very lucky to have such nice weather to enjoy the sunny garden - and easy walk to Crooklets beach for surfing. Nice meals out at The Falcon, Brendon Arms. Tommy Jack's and all within walking distance. Ideal base for our family holiday in such comfortable accommodation. Thank you.

Lovely home with great little touches to make your stay very comfortable. Thank you for the welcome pack: scones, drizzle cake and wine went down exceptionally well; a great start to our holiday after a long drive.

Mon 19th Sept. Only 2 days into our holiday and felt I had to make a start on this review!! I know I will have so much to say (what a shocker! I'm not one for one word when ten will do haha!) We love this bungalow! What a lovely treat to find all the extras which mean a great deal. With 4 grown-up children we worry that each will have an opinion and something to say and indeed they have! All good and just as positive as ours! You have thought of everything, and it's so clean! I usually leave places cleaner than I found them as this was a business I once used to be in. You are immaculate! I can't tell you how happy I have been in your lovely holiday home. We all have loved this space so far and you have had many compliments from the boys! This place has been perfect for our little puppy, all of us sleeping on the same floor has also gone a long way to no barking or crying whatsoever!! We are extremely comfortable, and our movie day due to the weather today was helped by your varied collection of DVDs. Sat 24th Sept. So the day has arrived when we must depart. I hope very much we have left your beautiful bungalow as good as we found it. We enjoyed our last evening in the garden with a good log fire going in the chimnea. The fairly lights made this space lovely. As a large family, when we get together for a holiday every year the place we stay in is most important. Sometimes more so than the location. Tim & Maria, this place has been perfect! Thank you for all the extras and treats (my god that Lemon cake - wow!) We will return 🙂 Lots of love - Dawn and family

Had a fantastic couple of weeks! Tim & Maria were very friendly - nothing was too much trouble. The Beach Haven was fabulous and very comfortable. The cake and scones were delicious 🙂 Would recommend to family and friends. Perfect for all the family - including the dog. A very big thank you from all of us 🙂

We've had a lovely relaxing holiday n this wonderful family home. Everything was perfect! A beautiful part of our country. We will definately be back 🙂

The Beach Haven is a wonderful home from home. Very spacious and well stocked. The dogs settled quickly and the outside storage shed is brilliant - stored surfboards, bikes and dogs very securely. We have had a fantastic holiday with the weather being kind too. The only bad thing is that we have to leave!! 🙁 Thank you again for your concern, hospitality and this 'cracking' holiday home. Thumbs up from everyone. Scones and cake - gorgeous and a lovely welcoming touch. Wine also went down well after the harrowing breakdown on the journey here. The extra bottle went down well too! 🙂 Thank you.
