A weekend in Bude with older parents

2 days For older parents & grandparents Built from visitor-rated places

♥ Save as my trip

A weekend with older parents works best when the plan does the worrying for you, and this one keeps the moving about short where it counts. On day one, lunch at The Pyne Arms is just 0.9 miles from Arlington Court and carries a 5/5 food hygiene rating. The Carriage House is a further mile on. Day two has the weekend's one longer drive, 46.2 miles to Cotehele House, and then only 0.4 miles to Cotehele Quay Discovery Centre, which states disabled access.

For a base, the West Bowithick cottages in Camelford sleep four or six and sit 12.8 miles from Bodmin Parkway station, which is handy if someone is joining by rail. Birch Farmhouse at Crackington Haven sleeps six and is 1.8 miles from a beach whose bathing water the Environment Agency rates Excellent. If you're coming by train, the nearest station to Bude is Okehampton.
