Rates start from GBP285 per night, rising to GBP1,249 per night at peak.

Inside the round lodge structure: two bedrooms, a living area with wood burner and open fire, a kitchen with washing machine, and a bathroom. The property has WiFi and parking. The combination of hot tub, open fire, and garden makes it one of the more fully equipped lodges in north Cornwall for year-round stays.

Summerleaze Beach - Bude's tidal sea pool beach - is 0.6km from East Thorne. Crooklets Beach, the main surf beach, is 1km. Northcott Mouth, a quieter north-facing cove with dramatic clifftop walks, is 2.2km. The South West Coast Path runs through Bude, connecting to over 30 miles of coast in both directions. The 19th-century Bude Canal runs inland from the harbour and can be hired for kayaking. Bude town centre, with its cafes, surf shops, and the Castle Heritage Centre, is within easy reach.

Best for couples and families wanting a hot-tub lodge with beach access in walking distance and surf on the doorstep. Less good for those needing a fully equipped kitchen for daily cooking - check amenities carefully at booking.
