“We had a wonderful stay at 2 Canalside. The property is exceptional, very high tech, underfloor heating, electric blinds, Alexas in living room and bedrooms etc. Wonderful views of the canal. It was extremely clean, comfortable and very well equipped. The hosts have thought of everything and a cream tea was waiting for us on arrival. I recommend this property for a holiday/break in Bude.”

Darren, July 2024

“Location: The apartment was beautiful and clean. Coffee, tea, and cakes were a lovely touch, bed and bedding very good quality it was exceptional . There was nothing we didn’t like apart from having to leave. The front door was sticking at times, but that was the only problem, but it was not really a problem”

“such a lovely place to stay and base yourself if you want to visit Bude or Widemouth Bay etc. Both Bude town centre and the beach are an easy 5 minute walk, passing many lovely places to eat along the way. As for apartment we stayed in we could not have wanted more, such a shame we were not staying longer. Lindsay is a great host 🙂👌”

“We absolutely loved our recent stay at 2 Canalside, wouldn’t hesitate to stay there again and again. The apartment was beautiful and so luxurious it has everything we could have possibly needed. Was very clean and everything was to a Very high standard. Perfect location being so close to the centre of bude so made it easy being able to walk everywhere with our 2 children. Beautiful surroundings, we spent many an evening sitting watching the local wildlife.”

Georgia, August 2022

“A really great flat, modern, spotless with lovely decking overlooking the canal. Amazing location- a short walk to the beach and pubs and restaurants nearby. 2 pubs are literally across the road. Bude is great!”

Melissa, August 2022

“We all really loved our stay. The location is fantastic right on the canal with a fabulous deck from which to enjoy watching the world go by. Ideally located for the harbor, town and beach. The Brendon Arms and Falcon Hotel are literally a minutes walk away, the castle, Olive Tree restaurant and town little more. The allocated free parking is a stress free god send.

The apartment itself is modern, stylish, very comfortable, well equipped and finished to a high standard throughout. The whole place was spotless clean. Also worth mentioning is there were enough dishwasher/washing machine tablets, hand soap etc. to last the week and generous amounts of tea and coffee provided. The clotted cream jam and scones was a nice touch on arrival.

Communications with the host Lindsay and the arrival instructions were excellent. Arrival and entry all went smoothly. I stayed with my wife and teenaged son. We all agreed we would definitely stay again.

So to sum up, great apartment, fantastic location and a very good host.“

David, July 2022

“We stayed in this wonderful apartment over new year with friends and were met with a really lovely selection of food and drink when we arrived, including fizz, scones and biscuits. The apartment is in a perfect location in Bude, very close to the beach and the town and situated on the Canalside. The apartment itself is just amazing with everything you could need including private parking. When we visit Bude again we will be sure to book this apartment again, would thoroughly recommend. Thank you so much.“

“We had a wonderful stay at Canalside and found everything to be wonderful. The quality of all the furnishings were absolutely lovely and the attention to detail second to none. You really have thought of everything that we might have required. All the games provided, the throws to wrap around ourselves sat outside whilst watching the world go by on the canal perfect! The kitchen was spotless with everything you might need to cook up a feast. The washing machine a great bonus meaning all our washing was done!  Alexa in all rooms alongside the smart TVs was great. All in all a wonderful place where we would definitely recommend and return.”
