Bude The Strangles Beach Hotels

"We booked to stay in a “luxury apartment” in a castle, they put us in an another building away from the castle instead! This building backed onto a building site complete with noisy vehicles, mess and a skip! Rear windows were filthy. Seaview was obstructed by a hill directly in front (the castle was at the top of the hill, and the accommodation they put us in was a few minutes walk below that). Told on arrival they wouldn’t be cleaning during our 4 night stay. When we questioned this, hotel reception staff were rude and tried to gaslight us by saying we should have known and that we didn’t know what self catering accommodation meant! There was no soundproofing, so we could clearly hear the people above us, children running around and children’s electronic toys being played with again and again. The hotel restaurant bizarrely specialises in a combination of pizza and borscht. The hotel clearly know that their listing is not accurate. Instead of trying to address our concerns, they were rude and bordering on menacing. Because the situation was so unpleasant and so bizarre, we did some research and discovered this has been going on a long time. They use a PR agency to create fake reviews. Please see my photos so you can make an informed decision! If I’d wanted to stay in a horrible building with no privacy and no soundproofing and no cleaning and no services, I wouldn’t have needed to pay the prices that Camelot Castle Hotel are charging. "

"We had a great time - unique seaside and fabulous village`s location, fantastic design of the hotel, attention to detail, cosiness, very friendly staff, lovely, delicious rich breakfast. the room was uniquely cute - old England with modern service, very clean, coffee machine, table-top stylish airconditioning, tea set with local biscuits and tea, cute ceramic cups, warm throw, local drink filled fridge, huge TV screen, tall soft bed, unique warm curtains (throughout the hotel) - all these little things created a great atmosphere for us. Same time be ready - the architecture of the hotel has its own unique age, so some rooms on the highest levels will require you to use very small and steep stairs; our small room for two had a big period beam above one side of the bed, I loved it, same time it can be hard for someone older to crawl under to get into bed. This did not spoil the overall picture at all, but perhaps it is worth knowing about it in advance. You will enjoy this place!"

"Very happy with our stay."

"Wow, thank you to Sue and her team, Sally, Sal and Will. What a warm welcome! We had such a lovely time with you all. A well run, friendly and warm spirited pub and B&B. The drinks were cold, and flowed easily and the food second to none. I would not hesitate to recommend a stay. No wonder the local patrons enjoy spending their down time with you!"

"We loved everything! Our hosts were charming, the rooms were beautiful, the breakfasts were a feast! 100% I would recommend Caroe Farmhouse!"

"The setting is slightly nicer than you can see in the photos, the property has decking leading down steps to an enclosed little garden with a drying line and over looks the large driveway, tennis court and beautiful views.The property is nice. It has an open plan lounge/kitchen with dining table. Beds are comfy, shower is good.The front door was sticky and almost impossible to open but we happily used the back door which has a key. Washing took a while to dry inside the property, best to use the line outsode of not raining.You need to drive to get to places but its near loads of good stuff. Lovely beach and dog walk at Crackington Haven, about a 5 minute drive. Boscastle is very near, its a gorgeous village to visit with an even more beautiful walk. We went to Bude - summerleaze beach and pool, North Rock beach which was great for body boarding, had a lovely day at Clovelly."

"Lovely property everything we needed very comfortable perfect location..only bad point was the lightning.. it could do with a reading lamp .."

"Property is in quiet village surrounded by farm. Very close to Tintagel and Boscastle. Both are excellent place with beautiful costal trails. "
