Did mini golf, the prettiest course we've ever played in. Stunning backdrop to play. Note there is a mini golf course (18 holes) and a crazy golf course (9 holes).

Great fun! We did the 18 hole mini golf and had a blast, the beautiful flowers surrounding the course made it a lovely atmosphere and it wasn’t too busy even on a bank holiday weekend.

We always play several rounds of crazy golf when we stay in Bude. It's a charming reminder of different times. Good innocent fun. Beautifully kept and friendly staff too.
