East Thorne, Bude

For an idyllic slice of escapism, a break at the award-winning East Thorne in Bude is the perfect choice. Nestled amongst rolling hills, surrounded by tranquil countryside and all with a sprinkling of luxury, this is glamping but not as you know it. Here you’ll find tons of green space and a laid-back atmosphere where a collection of luxurious roundhouses and cosy cottages await. Chic interiors, big beautifully handcrafted beds, gorgeous bathrooms and hot tubs grace the lodges while the refurbished cottages with their log burners and open plan space make this an experience you won’t forget.

East Thorne is all about enjoying a slower pace, but what makes this place so special is the host of on-site facilities available to make your stay just that extra bit fabulous. There’s the Tallet Barn with its huge table and festoon lighting for alfresco dining, and a huge, communal campfire where children and grown-ups can toast marshmallows or cosy up. And then of course, there’s the food. You’ll have your own fully equipped kitchen for rustling up meals in, but if you fancy something a bit more exciting there’s a converted horsebox for a delicious morning coffee (open from April to October), an outdoor wood fired clay pizza oven for baking your own creations, alfresco kitchens, campfire Dutch ovens and a fleet of charcoal Weber BBQ’s to pick from.

And if you don’t feel like the hassle of cooking first thing, you’ll be able to order the ‘Banger brekky glamper hamper‘ or our ‘Gourmet glamper‘ for arrival!

Of course, a break in Cornwall wouldn’t be complete without a few lazy days on a beautiful stretch of sand. East Thorne is in easy reach of some of the best beaches in North Cornwall including Summerleaze Crooklets, Bude and of course Widemouth Bay. So why not forget the rest of the world for a few days and immerse yourself in peace and quiet for a break you won’t forget.
