It must be winter as there's a constant sound of banging and clattering from upstairs and a regular stream of builders merchants are making frequent deliveries to our front door. We have a hallway full of plasterboard, plumbing paraphernalia and wood. None of our furniture is quite where you'd expect it to be
Our usual out of season refurbishment chaos is in full swing with very exciting things happening in the ensuite shower rooms of "Turnberry" and "Gleneagles"
We may be closed while all this is going on but rest assured we are still here to take your reservations and enquiries so do please continue to telephone and email us as usual
A slightly belated Happy New Year to everyone from all of us here. Here's hoping that 2013 will be kind to you all ... a year full of joy, happiness and laughter. We hope it brings sunshine and prosperity into everyones lives .... and at least one much deserved short break in Bude!

Pebble & Sand Beaches, Tiny Coves and a Majestic Backdrop of Rugged Cliffs
Did you know that Bude was voted the 7th Best Beach Destination in the UK by users of the travel website Trip Advisor for 2012?
This is a well deserved award for Bude and based on the millions of reviews and opinions expressed by members on the TripAdvisor website.

Bude in Cornwall, offers pebble and sand beaches and tiny coves against majestic backdrop of rugged cliffs. Crooklets and Summerleaze are among the most popular beaches.
Picturesque Summerleaze Beach features the Bude Sea Pool, a leisurely pool set between the rocks, and provides safe swimming. Bude is known for great surfing, but there are many more water amusements to enjoy.
The Sea Pool at Bude was created in the 1930s to provide a haven for safe swimming for the people of the town and the thousands of people who visit it each year.
The pool nestles under the cliffs on the north Cornwall coast and is topped up twice a day by the waves of the Atlantic. On a summer’s day the sprawling, sparkling expanse of the Sea Pool offers a blissful opportunity to escape from modern life and to laze, splash or bathe in calm sea water. It is a rare kind of construction: partially man-made and in harmony with the natural environment. Bude Sea Pool provides a precious opportunity to enjoy a unique experience, close to the ferocity of the natural environment but sheltered from its extreme effects.
The Friends of Bude Sea Pool was formed in early 2011 to secure the Pool’s future under local management.

Bude Jazz ... resurrected for August 2012
The news of the cancellation of the Bude Jazz Festival in 2012 shocked jazz lovers throughout the country …but now the good news. A group of dedicated volunteers decided to resurrect it under the title of BUDE JAZZ 2012
BUDE JAZZ 2012 will take place between Tuesday 28th and Friday 31st August following the August Bank Holiday and the emphasis will revert to Traditional and New Orleans Jazz whilst holding on to the most popular of other styles from years gone past.
We have had support from a host of popular musicians such as Jeff Barnhart, George Huxley, Roger Marks, Dennis Armstrong and many others who plan to appear at BUDE JAZZ 2012.
Spread the word that Jazz in Bude is alive and well. Further news will be published in various jazz publications in coming months.

Fairway House receives Trip Advisor Award for Excellence in 2011
Whoop! Trip Advisor have recently given us an Award for Excellence for 2011 which recognises properties who consistently receive excellent ratings from their members.
We really enjoy reading the reviews and do act on suggestions made by our visitors. Catherine recently mentioned in an email to us that it might be helpful to have a map of the town in the Information Folder in the bedroom ... we thought this was a great idea and set about finding a suitable map to reproduce on an A4 sheet. So, thanks to Catherine, it's there now for all to use. Following the only disappointing review we received last year the old shared shower and toilet facility for our two non ensuite rooms has been replaced by two luxury private shower rooms, one for each room and now on the same landing. A big improvement and one that our guests in these rooms really do seem to appreciate.
We've had some really fab reviews on Trip Advisor recently and are extremely grateful to our visitors for taking the time and trouble to share their thoughts and feelings with the world at large.
We particularly love some of the titles of the reviews we've received during May ...
"Five star hotel in a friendly guest house"
"The best just got better"
"Spottlessly clean, warm welcome, great breakfast, good value. What more could you ask?"
"Everything about this B&B is top notch, wonderful facilities"
"Exactly what we needed"
"Calm, comfortable and hospitable surroundings lovingly created by Mr & Mrs Fly who put visitors satisfaction first"
