A really lovely hotel with lots of thoughtful touches. Stylish very comfortable room with generous balcony overlooking the sea (and seat cushions for the balcony chairs). Our room was very well equipped and we welcomed the fresh milk and complimentary water in the fridge.
The staff were friendly and helpful, nice restaurant with good dinner choices and very generous breakfast. Free parking also.

Reception staff very friendly, as was the slightly older gent serving breakfast on bank holiday Monday.
For an independent hotel it’s a good standard on the whole. We had room 3 which was very large but the floor is shot. I feel for the poor people in room 4 underneath as the floor creaks with every single step.
Also the room was noisy from early as the main windows overlook Sainsburys car park and there was deliveries and reversing announcements/beeping so if you want peace that’s not the room for you.
Bar area was nice, staff were pleasant, not particularly friendly but certainly not rude.
Great location everything in easy walking distance. Very good breakfast.

The hotel overlooks Summerleaze beach & has lovely views - our room looked over the beach too
The room we were in was spacious and very clean and we had a very good nights sleep

All the staff we encountered were welcoming and friendly and made our stay a very pleasant experience

The slight downside was parking - there were only limited spaces outside the hotel but we were able to park in a nearby car park which was free overnight (less than a five minute walk from the hotel)

We would definitely stay at this hotel again

Straight away, from the outside The Beach looked inviting and the location really was perfect. On checking in, the young lady at the desk was extremely helpful, cheerful and efficient. The room was light, airy and very clean with everything you need at hand. The shower was, without a doubt, the best hotel shower we had ever used, hot for as long as we needed it and fabulous pressure behind it.
In the morning, after a restful sleep, we were directed to the dining area which had views out over the bay, and the staff simply couldn't do enough for us. Breakfast was supplied to order and individual - not massed produced and was delicious.
Overall, this is one of the best stop-over hotels we have ever used (and we've been in a few, let me tell you) and would definitely recommend The Beach to any and all visitors to Bude.
Thank you for a lovely experience...

We stayed for one night to celebrate our 20th wedding anniversary and couldn’t have asked for a more perfect experience. From the moment we arrived, the staff were warm, attentive and genuinely welcoming. The thoughtful finishing touches in our room made the occasion feel truly special and created memories we’ll treasure.

The following morning, we enjoyed a delicious breakfast with plenty of choice, all beautifully presented and served with the same friendly care we experienced throughout our stay.

Although it was only a short visit, everything exceeded our expectations and made it a day to remember. Thank you to all the team for helping us celebrate such a milestone, we will definitely be recommending and hope to return again soon!

Awesome Hotel with Awesome Staff

From the start walking into reception staff were friendly, helpful and went out of their way to ensure both myself and wife had everything we needed to enjoy our stay.
The room was immaculate, tea & coffee on tap, bottled water, fresh milk in the mini fridge.
Breakfast was covered from full English, continental, fruit & yogurt, toast to mention just a few items on offer to cater for all,
Big shout out to Mike who was always at hand to apiece any of requests.
Overall, can’t wait to return, with my wife already looking at dates for September

Room with a beachside view

The venue was lovely, and we were fortunate with excellent weather too. We stayed here as it was a special occassion, so specifically wanted a hotel with seaview that overlooked the beach and this hotel certainly delivered. The hotel was great (best shower ever!). I think if I was to highlight the opportunities, firstly the lack of parking outside the hotel...we fortunately managed to get a spot (i believe their maybe more parking at the back of the hotel though...but not 100% sure), at the front of the hotel there are only three parking spaces plus room for about eight cars at the roadside (which was a bit like musical chairs, if a space came free, it would only be so for a second), secondly there was no one at the reception desk when check in opened at 3pm, which meant we had to wait...restaurant staff walked by but didnt acknowledge the waiting customers, which wasnt great service...but fortunately from that moment everything else was lovely.

Great location, lovely views, delicious breakfast

The location of this hotel is perfect for a few nights relaxation on the coast. We were lucky enough to get a beach view, which had an armchair situated for those lazy mornings watching the tide, however a close friend had a room at the back which was small cramped and hot. Although covid meant service was different to normal, nothing was ever too much and the food was great quality.

Great 3 night break after lockdown for couple

Hotel is in a great location overlooking Summerleaze Beach, great views from the bar / restaurant terrace - short walk down to the beach or into centre of Bude. Very friendly staff at the hotel made us feel very welcome during our stay. They were still turning things around after lockdown (restaurant not open for dinner) but worked great as a B&B service with bar open for drinks all day. Reception were very helpful on our last day and allowed us to extend use of our room after original check-out for a shower after final surf session. Beds are very comfortable and black-out curtains + shutters allow to a really good night's sleep

Rooms too hot, no aircon

The hotel is very nice, but the room (10) was extremely hot 28^C even though it was only 18 outside, no aircon in rooms. Imaging what it is like on a hot day. Reception staff said this was the case in all rooms. Only 4 parking bays.

Overall value for money not worth it.

Disappointed ☹️

Lovely staff and fantastic food . Unfortunately let down by our room .room 18 is a loft room very small with sloping eves . If you are over 5’10 you will spend your stay when getting out of bed ,using the bathroom sink or using the toilet bumping your head ! Also it only has a 2ft square window looking on to a brick wall . At £145 per night very poor value for money .
