We’ve been to Bude a number of times, but this is the best accommodation we have ever stayed in. The location is second to none, right on top of Summerleaze Beach. The accommodation is stunning - huge rooms with high quality furnishings and fittings. And it’s all topped off by lovely little extra touches - cream tea and other provisions on arrival. We will definitely go back!

My friends and I had a fantastic stay at the property in June . The facilities were perfect and the extra touches from the host made us feel special. The location was just what we wanted with some gorgeous views. The host was easy to contact and made us feel very welcome. We couldn’t have had a more wonderful weekend .

Everything about The Getaway was perfect. Penny & Gary were the most gracious hosts and went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we could ever need. As far as location, you couldn’t get a much better spot, close to Sainsburys for your grocery needs and a short walk to town or the beach. We visit Cornwall every 2 years and The Getaway will be our home away from home every time now!

Simply amazing

Our family of five were sad to leave when the time came. The location is amazing where you have a magnificent view of the beach and the hills. Everything you need is within a short walk distance. The property itself is wonderfully kept and decorated. Penny and Gary were great hosts and made sure our stay was as best as it can be. They kept in communication to make sure we had everything we need. We hope to be back in the near future. Thank you for the wonderful stay.

Amazing location with everything you need for a relaxing getaway

We had a fantastic time at this property, it’s a few minutes walk from the beautiful Summerleaze beach which is ideal for young kids and older kids too. There is parking right next to the property and so many nice restaurants all within walking distance. We were lucky enough to stay during the RNLI celebrations week which had loads of things for the kids to see and do, plus a jazz festival. The property is well equipped even for rainy days with jigsaws, books and a good tv. The lady that looks after the place (Lizzie) was very welcome (amazing home baked scones on arrival and a full English ready in the fridge for the following morning). She lives next door and could not have been more helpful. We would definitely consider coming back if in the area.

It was the little touches

An amazing property in a great location. We have been going to Bude for several years as a group and this was our favourite property by far. We will be booking it for next year!! The apartment is so clean and spacious. Penny and the getaway crew made sure that we had all the information in advance of our arrival - communications were great! The little touches is what made the biggest difference… On arrival there were freshly made scones, cream and jam as well as croissants for breakfast. Penny also dropped by and gave our two young boys seaside activity books. The kitchen is well stocked and the sofa very comfortable! The location is perfect, short 5mins walk down the hill (it is steep but no steps) to Summerleaze beach and a couple of mins to some of the best restaurants in Bude and the shops.

Perfect location for town and beach

We were returning visitors to The Getaway this year, tempted back by proximity to the beach (2 mins downhill walk) with two little ones in tow. The property was spotlessly clean, missing a few books and toys we would have made use of for the kids (but for obvious reasons so no problem with this at all) and washable covers added to the sofas. The little welcome gifts and gorgeous foodie bits were delightful and a lovely, thoughtful touch after a long journey. The owners/house manager were on hand and happy to help if needed, and were really welcoming. Communication beforehand was also excellent. With the nearest supermarket a couple of minutes’ walk, and Bude’s delightful shops and restaurants nearby too, this couldn’t be better located. The house and kitchen are well equipped - we didn’t eat out this year - and we had everything we needed for home cooking. The weather was unkind to us for the most part which only increased the value of the location as it meant we could pop back and forth to the beach as weather dictated. We’ve stayed in larger properties further away but we definitely made the right choice this year. I couldn’t recommend this property and the consideration and hospitality provided by the hosts highly enough - so much so, we are already looking to book again for next year.

Wonderful Experience

Beautiful and well equipped. The hosts were incredibly helpful. The apartment was fine for 2 older adults with mobility issues. (Access to the nearest beaches was more difficult.) So close to town and many restaurants. Sainsburys just behind so easy to get supplies. A wonderful time had by all, and especially by 6 yr old granddaughter, who on arrival was impressed with her gifts left with the Cornish cream tea. Definitely recommend.

The Perfect Staycation

What a wonderful staycation we had. We were 2 adults and 4 children and the apartment had ample room for all of us. The rooms were clean and spacious. Honestly no complaints at all about this beautiful apartment which is well maintained by the Owner's. In an excellent location....the beach on one side and the town on the other. Lovely walks on the cliffs and the sea and rock pool were a hit with the children. We would definitely come back here - we were lucky to have the heatwave the week we were here. The Owners were always on hand if there were any problems in the apartment. Thanks again to them for their attention to this. I don't really have any negative comments so please believe me when I say you will not be disappointed if you stay at The Getaway!

Outdoor active super comfy Getaway

Great location right next to Summerleaze Beach with a choice of surfing schools - walking on cliff top paths - tennis club few mins away - SUP’ing on the canal. Delightful house (ground floor) all set up with 2 parking spaces, outdoor shower, drying room, warm, super clean and very comfortable interior. Nice touches on arrival with scones, jam & cream, beer & fizz - PLUS all that’s required for a first morning breakfast in the fridge! Great comms from the owner & local house manager. Great house & a great stay!

Just 'WOW '

The Getaway is just amazing! Spacious rooms, comfortable and beautifully decorated with thoughtful extras...books, games, puzzles and magazines. Fantastic cream tea, complete with Prosecco, and items for a cooked breakfast greeted us on arrival! The location is perfect, minutes from the beach, shops, bars and restaurants...in fact once we had parked our cars they didn't move the whole week, making it a very relaxing holiday! The outdoor shower was well used after a day on the beach and there was plenty of space for wetsuits and surfboards. Would highly recommend The Getaway and will definitely be returning in the future!

An absolutely stunning property in an amazing location! It was so thoughtful and lovely to arrive after a long drive, to the best scones I've ever tasted, jam and cream, as well as breakfast ingredients and a bottle of prosecco to wash everything down!! We couldn't have been much closer to the beach or the shops, it was perfect. We didn't need to get in the car all week. A totally relaxing holiday. I'm hoping we come back soon.

Home from home in amazing location!

The Getaway was perfect - from the amazing location just a few minutes walk from both the beach and central town, to the homely feeling inside. The rooms are spacious and everything was immaculate, really couldn't fault a thing. Bude itself is a lovely little town with local bakeries offering simply the best scones and a great selection of bars and restaurants to cater for all your needs. We will definitely be returning next year!
