Newest Resident

So our ever growing menagerie of wildlife here at Forda now includes a pheasant. He calls daily at the office to says hello, and knocks on the door for attention. Top dog Boris doesn't really know what to make of him!

6 Time Winners!!

• 

For the 6th consecutive year, we have received a Certificate of Excellence from TripAdvisor.
They told us "This achievement celebrates businesses who have consistently achieved glowing traveller reviews on TripAdvisor over the past year."
We are, once again, very proud of this award and extremely thankful to all of our guests who took the time to leave a review.

Spring Has Definitely Sprung!

 We've been watching these baby rabbits from our office window for a while now - they really do grow fast! It's been lovely seeing them playing in the spring sunshine - and they are now firm friends with our resident ducks!

A Record Turnout!

More people than ever before turned out on Christmas morning this year to take part in the traditional Christmas Day Swim to raise funds for Bude Surf Life Saving Club. Around 700 people braved the chilly Atlantic Ocean, making this years event the biggest yet! Well done to all who took part!

Beautiful Bude!

November saw  cause for a real double celebration - Bude scooped the Gold Award for Best UK Coastal Resort at The British Travel Awards, and Cornwall also claimed Gold for Best UK Holiday County/Destination!

Best British Beaches!

The Sunday Times devoted an entire special issue travel supplement last weekend,  to what they described as 'the definitive guide to Britain's top beaches.'

We are very pleased to report that our very own Summerleaze made the cut, along with a recommendation for lunch at Life's a Beach (www.lifesabeach.info) for their delicious mackerel fishcakes.

Woodpecker

This great spotted woodpecker has become quite a regular visitor to the lodges here at Forda. This picture was taken by one of our regular guests from the kitchen window of her lodge. Thanks for sharing Sue!
