Standard Premier Inn - basic but comfortable. Really great location. Reasonably priced. Pleasant receptionists. Some negatives: no mini fridge, no USB wall plugs. A bit too noisy (could hear people stomping in room above). Bed a bit creaky. Carpet could use a good hoovering No free parking, but closest parking (Cresent Long Stay) only a short 3 minute walk away - expect to pay £12 for 24 hours, even if they say it’s “free” overnight.

Right in the centre of Bude close to beaches car parks shops pubs and restaurants. You know exactly what you get with these places. Clean nicely decorated good bathroom. Staff always helpful and polite but looked a little stretched at breakfast. Regardless of this they were smiling professional and easy going with the guests. Probably one of the best buffet style breakfasts I've had in these types of places. Bacon well done and not fatty, soft eggs, everything hot . Coffee lovely too. Can't beat this place for value for money. If we had known how good it was we could have saved literally hundreds. Great place

Stayed here for business and on arrival the staff were great and bubbly. If I remember correctly I spoke to a member of staff called Chloe on arrival and she was extremely helpful and then on breakfast, the young girl called Jaz I’m pretty sure it was, was amazing and made it very warm and welcoming when having breakfast. Very happy stay and would definitely recommended and will be back for sure. Both staff members who I spoke to were brilliant and couldn’t ask for friendlier staff!!

Just a one night stay (room 308). Well placed in this beautiful town. Rooms large and very clean as was the bathroom. Beds really comfortable including the pull out bed. Had breakfast, highly recommend. Full choice/self service available. Our fussy food eating teen even went back for seconds. Check in does get busy at 3pm so probably better nearer 4pm with no queues but for an extra £15 an early check in is available.
