BEACHES

Some great beaches nearby (2 minute drive or 20 minute walk away): 2 family surf beaches with surf hire and summer life guards at Widemouth Bay and several beaches and a sea water swimming pool at Bude. Many other wonderful beaches further afield.

Further details

Other than its magnificent beach, Widemouth Bay has 2 beach café’s, a great local pub with restaurant, garden and sea views and a Post Office/local shop selling freshly caught fish, crab and lobster. There is also a restaurant with a growing reputation situated a short walk from Church Races (5 min. along the coast path).

Bude is an attractive Cornish seaside town with a harbour and canal, a few café’s/restaurants (one in particular which we highly recommend), some good local produce suppliers (including organic) and 3 major supermarkets. There are 1 or 2 decent boutiques/clothes stores, several good ‘serious’ surf equipment suppliers and plenty of ‘bucket-and-spade’ type shops selling inexpensive beach/surf gear.
 

1. Church Races is designed for one family or 1 - 2 couples. Babies and children are welcome, although please note that the front garden is not fully enclosed so young children will need to be supervised whilst outside. Regret no pets allowed.

2. Although the property is on one level and therefore suitable for those with mobility difficulties, it is not wheelchair friendly due to 3 steps at the front door and uneven ground in the garden.

3. A self-contained Annex adjoins Church Races - this is occasionally occupied by the owners or guests. The Annex has a separate parking area, entrance and garden, ensuring that your privacy will not be affected.
