Scallop

Scallop is a 1-bedroom glamping cabin near Bude, sleeping 2 in a king-size bed with 1 bathroom. Parking and a BBQ are included, though dogs are not accepted. The pod sits in a sheltered corner of farmland with a footpath close by for morning walks. The pod has underfloor heating, beanbag seating and a kitchenette for preparing light meals and drinks. A private external wet room has a heated shower and WC. For children there is a futon (under 12 years) or, on request, a camp bed (over 12 years), so bring sleeping bags and towels for them. Off-road parking is for one car. No guest rating or review count is published for the pod yet, so the 34-image gallery is the most useful way to judge the interior and setting before booking.

Summerleaze Beach is the nearest named beach at 1.4 miles, where the river meets the sea and beach huts line the front. Crooklets Beach is 1.7 miles away and Widemouth Bay, a wide surfing stretch, is 2.2 miles. The pod sits near the hamlet of Stibb, with Bude a short drive south for shops, restaurants and surf hire.

Best for 2 guests wanting a simple glamping pod with a king-size bed, parking and BBQ near Bude. Less good for dog owners - pets aren't accepted - or visitors needing step-free access.
