Una, Lodge 73

Una, Lodge 73 is a four-bedroom lodge within the Una St Ives holiday resort above Carbis Bay, sleeping eight guests across two bathrooms. A private hot tub is the standout feature, backed by access to the resort's shared swimming pool and gym.

The four bedrooms suit a larger family or two households sharing, rather than a couple wanting a compact base. An open fire warms the living space, and the garden gives the group, and any dogs travelling with them, somewhere to sit outside. Wi-Fi, parking and a washer/dryer are included. Changeovers run on Saturdays.

Carbis Bay, a Blue Flag sweep of sand with a beachside cafe and seasonal lifeguard cover, is 0.5 miles from the lodge. Porthkidney Beach is 1.5 miles away and Porthminster Beach 1.6 miles, both reachable along the coast path that runs through the village. St Ives itself is a 25-minute walk on the same path, or one stop on the branch line from the Carbis Bay halt. The Carbis Bay guide covers the village's shops, cafes and rail connections.

**Best for:** groups of up to eight wanting a private hot tub, shared pool and gym, and a dog-friendly base a short walk from Carbis Bay. **Less good for:** guests needing step-free access.
