Hit the Waves at One of the Local Surf Schools
Located in the beautiful countryside of North Cornwall, our luxury holiday cottages and lovely yurts offer an idyllic holiday destination for those seeking peace and tranquillity. However, for those seeking adventure and excitement, the nearby coastal town of Bude provides the ideal spot for surfing.
Bude’s location on the coast means that it is exposed to some of the best waves in the UK. This makes it a popular destination for surfers from all over the world. With Summerleaze Beach, Crooklets Beach and Widemouth Bay all in close proximity, you have plenty of fantastic options to choose from when you fancy hitting the waves. The town itself has a number of excellent surf schools, which offer lessons and equipment hire for all levels of surfers.
For those staying at Woodlands Manor Farm, there are several surf schools that we recommend. Here are some of the local surf schools that we know offer fantastic experiences:
