The Tree Inn

Lovely village, very friendly locals nearby Bude. Parking is offsite at a free car park and is easily accessible in a few minutes walk. Lovely old building with an old school pub and beer garden. Breakfast was awful. It consisted of a, selection of moody cereals ( no milk), and a singular banana. Variety of spreads, but no bread. Dirty coffee machine and tea making facilities, again no milk… No one onsite working in the morning so we didn’t have anything to eat. The gent that checked us in also misgendered my girlfriend on arrival. He walked over and said and I quote, ‘alright lads’. She wasn’t best pleased. Room however, was decent.

The tree Inn is a very traditional and historic inn located within the village centre. The building is split over a traditional horse and cart entrance with the pub on one side and the rooms on the other side. The pub isn't rowdy but if there was any noise it would remain quiet in rooms due to this separation. The rooms are comfortable and clean and the communal areas retain much of the original features of the building. Breakfast is provided within a breakfast room located within the inn side away from the pub. Evening meals if desired can be found in the pub itself. Although the pub itself doesn't have parking, there is a large and free village car park just down from the pub and it is possible to drive to the entrance of the pub to drop off and pick up bags. Staff are very friendly and accommodating. I found the Inn to be an excellent place to stay. I particularly liked the historic charm of the building, the friendly, accommodating staff, the ability to use the pub which provides good quality meals, drinks and pool table as well as a log fire. I also thought the location was highly desirable being very close to Bude and the beach whilst being able to retreat to a much quieter location, away from the hustle, bustle and other tourists at the end of the day. Stratton itself is a peaceful and charming village which is worth a visit in its own right and provides that tranquility away from much busier Bude.

Good old historic coaching Inn, lots to take in

Loved the fact that there were very few right angles in the building!

Parking a bit tricky, pretty village, character pub.
