Bay View Inn

Widemouth Bay's Bay View Inn is a beachfront B&B with an on-site restaurant and bar, positioned directly above the sand. The property scores 9.8 from 58 reviews on Booking.com - one of the highest-rated accommodations in the Bude area. Family rooms come with private bathrooms, walk-in showers, tea and coffee facilities, and balconies with outdoor furniture.

The restaurant serves British cuisine with vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, and dairy-free options across lunch and dinner. A full bar rounds out the offering, and the beachfront position means most tables look out over Widemouth Bay. Wi-Fi and free on-site parking are included.

Widemouth Bay itself is one of the larger beaches on this stretch of the north Cornwall coast - a wide, flat expanse of sand that draws surfers and families in roughly equal measure. The beach sits about 3 miles south of Bude town centre. Summerleaze Beach, with its tidal sea pool, and Crooklets - the main surf beach - are both a short drive north.

Bude is a seaside town where the River Neet meets the Atlantic, with four beaches within walking distance of the centre and access to over 30 miles of the South West Coast Path. The 19th-century Bude Canal is used for kayaking and flat-water swimming. Tintagel Castle is roughly 17 miles along the coast.
