The Inn on the Green is based in Bude, overlooking the 4th tee & green & with a view over more of the golf course upto the clubhouse.

The Inn on the green has a very friendly & yet quite upto date feel about it.
First of all I will point out parking is at a premium & there are only a limited number of spaces out front of the Hotel, though there is a public car park across the road, between the hotel & the beach, but I'm not a fan of parking in Public car parks, so just as well we were lucky during our stay to find a space out front of the hotel.
Upon arrival we had a friendly booking in from the very helpful receptionist who made our final bookings of local courses to play. We chose to play StEnodoc's Holywell Course & of course Bude itself. That said any savings that can be made by the Hotel can be improved upon on with instead using 2fore1 vouchers or Greenfree vouchers, instead of the Hotel's discount rate. We managed to use up a Greefree voucher to play Bude.
Now our room where the missus & myself were booked into was right over the bar, its listed as a Premier room, which is £5 more expensive than the standard en-suite rooms. Now although the rooms were clean, tidy & fairly uptodate I didn't really consider the rooms were anything that special & our room certainly didn't have sky Television as was advertised/claimed in the online brochure. On top of this the servicing of the rooms was somewhat lax in my opinion. as they did not replenish the loo rolls in a timely fashion & did not clean the coffee table coffee cups or replenish the tee, coffee, sugars, or milks. And even in the middle of the afternoon when we came back from our first round at StEnodoc, the room at that time hadn't even had the beds made up. Later on all that had been done was the beds had been made up & the bathroom cleaned.
The Restaurant service varies depending upon who is serving & also the food varies depending upon who is chefing that evening. Some evenings its very good service & the food is always great, though the same dish can arrive presented & cooked totally differently from one evening to the next if the chef cooking is different. The choice on the menu in my opinion is extremely limited, even though of good quality & I would have liked there to have been one or two slightly more creative choices from the norm. Even the specials board remained the same throughout our entire stay.
No two days did a breakfast appear presented or cooked in the same manner. Some days tommato's would be fresh other days tinned, some days muchrooms were buttons, others it would be anything other. bacon would be different cuts too. On one hand this is quite refreshing & also means we know everything is cooked fresh each day, but somewhat disturbing from a consistency point of view.
Now remember I said our room was right over the bar...On our last evening there was a karaoke evening, which in itself wasn't really much of a problem as it turned out, though we were quite tired that evening & could have done without it. That said, It would have been nice to have been warned on checking in that our room was going to be right over the top of the PA on our last night. I think I'd have definitly had a different room. In the end we turned off our Television & could chuckle at some of the singing floating up from below, before we fell asleep.
The bar was fairly well stocked, though not much of a choice of Whisky for someone who likes his malt. The choices of Beers on tap were quite good & welcome in the afternoon on our returns from a game or a walk from town.
Its also an easy walk up the hill to the course with your clubs should you wish to, as there is a bit of a one way system past the golf club, which can mean a drive through the town at busy times. But seening as during our stay we walked most places from the hotel & the beach was in easy reach on foot
Did we Enjoy our stay at the Inn On the Green? Yes
Were we totally satisfied? Well, no not really as there was much that could be improved upon.
Was it good value for money? Yes, though again with one or two reservations.
Would we stay there again. Yes, though there are plenty of other hotels, guest houses & B&B's in town, some of which are closer to the golf club's clubhouse. One of the main reasons for choosing the Inn on the Green was for the Sky TV in the rooms, which we didn't have.Its nice to be able to get back on an evening & to relax infront of what we would do at home. There is SkyTV downstairs in the restaurant & Bar, but seeing as generally it'd be showing sport usually football of some kind, its unlikely the other half is going to be happy with this option.
