The Boat House Roundhouse, East Thorne, Bude

About this property

Life at East Thorne is all about getting back to nature and connecting with the Great Outdoors, and a break at The Boat House Roundhouse provides the perfect retreat to escape. Whether it’s a romantic break for two or a family adventure, you can relax and unwind somewhere special.

As soon as you step inside, you’ll be greeted by handpicked furnishings in a cool industrial style, adding a hint of chic to your stay. The cosy wood burner and underfloor heating help to create a cosy space and the two cabin rooms offer a tempting retreat to retire to at the end of the day, and the kids can have fun in their own bunk room.

There’s something about dining al fresco that adds a sense of adventure to any stay and the outdoor pizza oven is a must for any budding chefs. As the sun goes down, you can spend the evening making friends and sharing stories around the communal camp fire. And when the kids turn in for the night, it’s time for you. Sink into the bubbling hot tub with a glass of fizz and admire the stars... bliss.

There is plenty to keep the kids entertained around the site, from the volleyball net and games room to the communal garden where you can enjoy a picnic or simply relax on a sunny day. If you love to feel the sand between your toes, East Throne is only a short drive from some of Cornwall’s best loved beaches and popular seaside resort of Bude. Discover an abundance of beachside cafes and shops and if you’re feeling active, you can join one of the many surf schools to enjoy time in the waves.
