Widemouth Manor Hotel

Widemouth Manor is a 4-star hotel and pub overlooking Widemouth Bay, a broad south-facing surf beach 3 miles south of Bude on Cornwall's north coast. With 411 reviews and an 8.3 rating on Booking.com, the property scores particularly well for location (9.4) and staff (9.3).

The hotel includes the Sunset Restaurant, Sunset Lounge bar, and a separate Garden Bar and Restaurant. Food leans toward local produce, and cocktails feature alongside the standard drinks list. Free WiFi and on-site parking are included.

A garden and rear terrace offer outdoor dining space with sunset views across the bay. The terrace is a good spot for watching the surf break on the beach below.

Widemouth Bay - pronounced "Widmuth" - picks up consistent Atlantic swell and is one of the area's main surf spots, with several surf schools operating on the sand. The coast path runs north to Bude in about an hour or south towards Crackington Haven through dramatic cliff scenery. Bude itself has supermarkets, the sea pool, the canal towpath for flat walking and cycling, and the Bude Castle Heritage Centre. Check-in is at 15:30 and check-out at 10:30.
