The Pot and Barrel

As soon as we arrived Chris greeted us warmly, and in a very short time presented us with a lovely cream tea. The views from the property could hardly be beaten, the sea, the greens, golf course, the cricket square, and up the slight hill you came down, leading back into Bude town. We had the Gold Room which has its own balcony and seating , and I only slightly mark it down to 4 star, to alert you to the fact that there are stairs to climb. The Green Room is on ground floor and so easier for some. The meals are lovely. I certainly couldn't manage all courses at dinner, and had, at my own request a smaller "Cornish" breakfast than the one on offer. If you've been before, as we have, you will know what a lovely little town Bude is with it's quite different small shops. Lots of places around and about to go, great shopping in Bideford, lovely garden centre if it's raining, lovely beaches when it's not. Tip - finding the Pot & Barrels own car park slightly tricky the first time. As you approach it says 'Penarvor Apartments Private Parking'. Ignore and drive through and you will be exactly where you want to be. Enjoy.

We spent 6 glorious days in early January, it totally fulfilled our wishes. Chris is a superb host👏, so welcoming and always on hand with any relevant info. Excellent breakfast and evening meals were extremely good too😋. So nice not to have to go out looking for somewhere to eat each night. We were extremely lucky with the weather, although it was cold we had blue skies and sunshine. Lovely walks on the beach & coastal path followed by relaxing in Chris's sun lounge over looking the beach reading our books soaking up the wonderful views. Thank you so much Chris, hope to visit again.🤗 Tim & Rose Gomersall

This is a lovely bed and breakfast in a lovely location.The owner is a nice host and always makes you feel very welcome. The rooms are lovely and luxurious and very clean. The beds are comfortable allowing for a good night sleep after all the busy days. Food is excellent and there is a good variety on the menu. I would recommend this as an excellent base for touring the beautiful Cornish countryside.
