Location & History
The Falcon Hotel sits directly on the Bude Canal, with Summerleaze Beach a 5-minute walk away. Built in 1798, it is the oldest coaching hotel in North Cornwall. The hotel's position offers direct access to canal walks, the beach, and the Bude Sea Pool.
Accommodations
Rooms are en-suite with free toiletries, flat-screen TVs, and satellite channels. Configurations include double, twin, family, and deluxe rooms - some with canal views, large balconies, or jacuzzi baths. All rooms are pet-friendly upon request, with dog beds, bowls, and treats provided.
Dining
The Breakwater Brasserie serves locally sourced food in a fully air-conditioned dining room. The hotel operates two restaurants and a bar, with a Beer Terrace overlooking the garden. Breakfast offers a full Cornish cooked option, and special diet menus are available upon request.
Weddings & Events
The hotel provides bespoke wedding planning services and can host events in its function rooms for groups from 2 to 200. The walled gardens and terraces overlook the canal, offering outdoor ceremony and reception spaces. A dedicated event coordinator and in-house catering team manage each occasion.
Family & Pet-Friendly
Dog-friendly sections are available in the dining areas, and pet-friendly rooms come with dog beds and treats. Families can book rooms with twin bedding, and the hotel serves kids' meals in the restaurant. The Secret Garden provides a quiet outdoor space for guests with children.

“From my understanding, The Falcon Hotel in Bude presents a genuinely inviting experience, evident in the consistently high regard for its dining and attentive staff.
