Kudhva

Kudhva is a four-bedroom lodge for eight on a resort near Winnards Perch, a hamlet just north of St Columb Major that sits roughly midway between Cornwall's north and south coasts.

The split-level interior has vaulted ceilings, an upstairs lounge with an air hockey table, and two decked terraces, one holding a private hot tub. Two super-king bedrooms, a double and a twin share two bathrooms. A dishwasher and washing machine are included, and up to two dogs can stay, but there's no confirmed step-free layout.

Resort facilities extend well beyond the lodge itself: an indoor pool, gym, spa, sauna, steam room and FlowRider surf machine, all reachable on site. Parking covers two cars. The ground floor has a super-king-size bedroom, a double and a family bathroom with a separate enclosed shower, and the open-plan kitchen and lounge has a Smart TV.

Mawgan Porth is 5.3 miles away, Watergate Bay 5.7 miles and Bedruthan Steps Beach 5.8 miles, so beach visits mean a drive rather than a walk. St Columb Major, a mile south, still holds its Shrove Tuesday hurling match through the streets, a tradition centuries old.

**Best for:** A larger family or group wanting a hot tub, indoor pool and several wet-weather activities in one resort.

**Less good for:** Guests who need an accessible single-level layout, or a beach within walking distance.
