Attractively situated overlooking Bude's inner harbour, on the upper wharf of the Boating Canal.

The Canal is well stocked and maintained by an enthusiastic local fishing association.

The apartments are just across the road from The Brendon Arms, Bude's excellent Free House, and a short walk to Bude's popular Summerleaze Beach, or the shops. There is ample car parking at your front door.

The bedroom either has a double or twin beds. The bathroom has a shower, wash hand basin and W.C.

Bird watchers and Nature lovers can enjoy the wealth of wildfowl, and the nearby Bude Marshes Nature reserve.

The first Bude Lifeboat House, now converted into four modern holiday apartments, was built by Sir Thomas Acland, a prominent West Country landowner and politician, in 1863.

Each apartment in the Lifeboat House is named after one of the early champions of the Bude Lifeboat: Sir Thomas Acland himself; George Brendon MFH, who provided the horses for the carriage; Parson Hawker, Vicar of Morwenstow, who helped with many rescues; and Captain Barrett, the coxswain of the Lifeboat. So the great tradition of heroic sea rescues, which still continues with the work of the RNLI today, is commemorated.

A lounge with a view and a bedroom - tastefully decorated inside and out.
