We provide quality assured self-catering holiday accommodation near Bude in the heart of rural North Cornwall. Our cottages are situated just 3 miles from the beach and 4 miles from Bude, close to the Atlantic Highway, which runs along the North Cornwall coast.
Budds Barns Holiday Cottages
Our cottages were converted from the original barns situated around the traditional farm yard and have all undergone further extensive renovation in recent years. Carthouse sleeps 2 people, while Wagtail and Swallow each accommodate 4 people. Wagtail has 1 double and 1 twin bedroom, Swallow has 2 double bedrooms. In each cottage guests have the option of choosing either a king size or twin beds in the master bedroom.
All the cottages have modern fully equipped kitchens with a dishwasher, all have central heating and a woodburner, and private enclosed gardens with brick barbecues from which there are stunning views of the surrounding famland. We provide Freeview flat screen televisions with bluetooth soundbars and Blu-Ray DVD players in each cottage; there are also DAB radios with bluetooth speakers in each bedroom, and every cottage has USB charging points for mobile devices. Wi Fi is free and unlimited and as of April 23rd 2019 we will be offering genuine "superfast" broadband with a fibre connection direct from the exchange to the premises. There is free parking in the courtyard. We also welcome dogs of all sizes for a small charge, and have a purpose built indoor dog wash for keeping your 4 legged friend in top condition after a day on the beach.
You can book and check standard availability on this page. Cottages are offered for rent on a weekly basis - Carthouse and Wagtail are Saturday changeovers, Swallow is a Friday changeover. Amendments to changeover days and short breaks - minimum 3 nights - are available at certain times of year and if you require these please contact us for details.
STATEMENT FROM BUDDS BARNS
In the light of the joint request by Visit Cornwall, Cornwall Council and our local MP that visitors defer their holidays until later in the year and avoid all unnecessary travel, we have taken the decision to close Budds Barns initially for the next 2 months, but this will obviously be subject to review given government and local authority advice.
If you have a booking with us between now and the end of May, we will be contacting you within the next 24 hours by email to explain the options available to you.
We are continuing to take bookings from September and will be opening our calendar for 2021.
We hope you will understand that this decision has been made in the best interests of all parties, in particular the local NHS who have made clear the potential impact of extra pressure on their services from a large number of visitors to Cornwall.
We endorse the comments made jointly by Visit Cornwall and Cornwall Council that our industry needs a clear directive from government, similar to that given to other sectors of the hospitality industry.
We pride ourselves on being open all year round, so it is with great sadness that we have to make this decision - ironically on the most lovely day of the year so far. We hope you that we will soon be able to welcome you again.
Stay safe, and our thoughts are with you and your loved ones, and in particular all NHS staff doing so much to help us in the coming weeks.

We are open throughout the year, so whether you are visiting North Cornwall to enjoy the sounds and sights of summer, or taking in some of the fabulous scenery and walks in the other seasons, we hope you will be our guest soon.
