The smell of bacon drifting from the guest house kitchen and the soft creak of floorboards underfoot — this is proper countryside hospitality in a quiet corner between Bodmin Moor and the north Cornwall coast.
Upton Cross offers both traditional B&B rooms and camping pods, so it suits couples after a comfortable base, walkers tackling the moor who fancy a real bed, or anyone wanting the camping experience with a bit more shelter and warmth. The Bude area gives you rugged cliffs and surf beaches within reach, while the wild granite tors and old mining country of Bodmin sprawl inland. Dogs are welcome by arrangement, so worth asking when you book if you're travelling with one.
It's open year-round, which makes it a solid choice for off-season breaks when the weather turns. Campfires need checking on arrival — policies can vary depending on conditions. Expect a friendly, low-key setup where the guest house and pods share the same patch, so you get a bit of both worlds: outdoor sleeping with proper facilities close by.
