Beachmodern No. 28

Cornwall, United Kingdom

Style Victorian villa

Setting Minutes from the beach

As its name suggests, Beachmodern No. 28 in Bude takes the traditional British seaside holiday and adds a stylish, contemporary twist. Within earshot of the waves breaking on the north Cornish coast, and a few moments walk from the ice cream-soft sand of Crooklets Beach, this Victorian villa has eight bright and breezy bedrooms. It’s ideal for a ‘buckets 'n spades’ family summer holiday or for groups of friends.

Beachmodern can point you in the direction of several local activities including group or individual surf lessons on a local beach.
