Following on from my review about our stay at Lympscott Barn, here is my review on some of the things we did there.
Bude is a beautiful town perfect for strolling along it's canal or going for a swim at the main beach, Summerleaze (this beach does have dog restrictions from 21st May- 30th September).
Dennis had so much fun playing on the beach. If there is water around he will be in it! It also seems that the beach air affects his hearing as he decided to ignore me completely and trot straight up some steep steps to a viewing point. Nearly giving me a heart attack in the process because it was a very windy day!
'I don't see your problem mum'
There are also plenty of coastal footpaths that will take you on lots of nice walks. Just be aware that there won't be any fencing on the cliff edge. Again Dennis seems to lose his hearing at this point
We stopped off and had a coffee in the sun (we wrapped up very warm!) at the Olive Tree restaurant on the canal front. Unfortunately dogs aren’t allowed inside but they do provide blankets for outside. Failing that, you can head across the road to the Brendon Arms who allow dogs in their bar area.
Dennis on Widemouth Beach
The staff were really friendly and welcoming and Dennis had lots of fuss! I highly recommend the goats cheese and caramelised onion panini. Definitely heading back to try their waffle menu to!
waiting for his ice-cream!

Dennis fed up of posing for the camera
So many dog friendly things to do. If we can take Dennis with us we can because he's part of our family to.
Please let me know if there's anywhere you've been that's super dog friendly
Happy now he's having ice-cream (but also concentrating very hard on target)

We also went to Widemouth Bay (on the recommendation of a dog forum member!) which is only a 5 minute drive from Bude. A great sandy beach with the added bonus of discovering @Black Rock Cafe which is dog friendly.

On Sunday’s you can enjoy a carvery at the Bradworthy Inn, like we did. The meal was such great value at £8.95 and it was delicious. Dennis was a happy boy to because he could join us. It may be a good idea to ring up and book because dogs are only allowed in the bar area. They are also open every other day with their normal menu.
