PurpleTree Posted April 22, 2010 Share Posted April 22, 2010 I need help, my friend finally booked her wedding this week after being engaged 9 years. They've decided to get married in Bude in the middle of August - this year! She's informed me that we're invited, wasn't really expecting to be as she said they were keeping it very small and simple with only 20 guests, but we've been friends since school. My problem now is to find somewhere to stay, that isn't going to cost a fortune. It needs to be able to cater for me and hubby, a 5 year old, 3 year old and a month or so old baby. My parents have also agreed to come to look after the boys while we're at the wedding, although my friend is happy for us to bring the children too, we'd have more fun without them. I've looked at a few places online and they're either really, really expensive or they don't do long weekends in August. We usually go camping for our holidays, but as it could be as little as 4 weeks after having a baby, I don't know if I'll be in a fit state to pitch a tent. So does anyone have any suggestions? At the moment it looks increasingly likely that we might have to give it a miss Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClaireG Posted April 22, 2010 Share Posted April 22, 2010 These seem to do 3 night breaks then and don't seem too bad price wise. Also lots of things for the children to do. http://www.johnfowlerholidays.com/module/acms_subSites?site=Widemouth-Bay-Caravan-Park&_$ja=kw:Self+catering+Bude|cgn:Self+Catering+Bude|cgid:680426137|tsid:7308|cn:Local+Campaign|cid:25701967|lid:11327887027|mt:Broad|nw:search|crid:3625122727 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seagazer Posted April 22, 2010 Share Posted April 22, 2010 Funnily enough I was going to suggest Widmouth Bay as we stayed there - gosh nearly 23 years ago and its just outside of Bude. I was pregnant with my first child then. I've no idea what its like now though but it wasn't too far to Bude (my mum and dad were going to buy a B & B in Bude many moons ago). I should think there would be lots of B & B type places if you want to stay in the town. How lovely that your parents can look after the kiddies so that you can have some grown up time.

penelope Posted April 22, 2010 Share Posted April 22, 2010 Hi There Sorry I cannot reccomend antwhere in Bude but Seagazer you brought back some memories to me of a holiday we had in Widemouth Bay Windsurfing , that must have been 26 years ago too!! Lovely place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seagazer Posted April 23, 2010 Share Posted April 23, 2010 The coastline is just stunning isn't it. Obviously I didn't go surfing at the time but we had a lovely break down there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PurpleTree Posted April 23, 2010 Author Share Posted April 23, 2010 Thanks for the ideas. I think after a lot of thought and discussion we've decided to give it a miss As hubby pointed out it could be only 4 weeks after having a baby, I may not be feeling my best. It's a 3 and a half hour drive at best, and doing that with 2 young 'uns and a very young baby fills me slightly with dread. I am disappointed we'll be missing but hopefully she'll understand, and to be honest I've got other things I need to spend £300+ on. Wish it was next year then we wouldn't have any problems at all, but hey ho! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lewis Posted April 23, 2010 Share Posted April 23, 2010 I'm sure she'll understand Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
