Eddington Lodge

Stargazing Holidays Under Stunning Dark Skies

Eddington Lodge is a beautifully designed complex of three Scandinavian self-catering holiday log cabins, nestled in a countryside location close to the rugged North Cornwall coast and nearby Tamar Lakes.

We specialise both in relaxing breaks and astronomy holidays, providing a fabulous holiday for everyone, whether you are interested in stargazing or are just looking to explore the sandy beaches and many activities that Bude and the surrounding area has to offer. With a wide range of gardens, National Trust properties and fishing lakes on our doorstep, whether you’re into surfing, walking or exploring Eddington Lodge is the perfect base.

Boasting a stunning dark sky location and a wide range of local amenities nearby, Eddington Lodge has everything you need to enjoy a fabulous holiday.

Here at Eddington Lodge, as well as being able to enjoy the more traditional holiday experience and explore all that beautiful North Cornwall has to offer, we aim to go one step further and enable our guests to explore the Cornish night sky.

With large, easy to use telescopes coupled with the extensive knowledge we provide, we bring a further dimension to your holiday in an exciting and educational way. We aim to provide a friendly and helpful environment for all who stay at Eddington Lodge. Whether you have a passion for the jewels of the cosmos or a more passing interest in astronomy and the twinkling lights of the night sky, there is plenty of onsite help and information to set you on your journey around the heavens.

Upon arrival, we will organise a time once it is dark to take you out for your 'Introduction to the Night Sky' tutorial, which is free of charge when you book through our website. There will then be the opportunity to book further courses throughout your stay to build on what you have learnt and even have a go at taking some incredible pictures of the night sky!

Explore Cornwall by day, then explore the night sky by night and truly get back to all the nature has to offer!

We welcome people of all ages and really enjoy showing children the night sky as well as adults. Our three lodges mean that extended families can also visit and utilise our three lodges to enjoy precious time together, while maintaining a bit of space when needed!

Our lodges are warm and contemporary, with a modern Scandinavian feel, open plan living areas incorporating a comfortable living area, dining table and well-equipped kitchen.

A toasty log burner ensures a warm and welcoming atmosphere as you walk in the door.

Two generous bedrooms have super-comfy beds to help you get a fantastic night sleep after a long day exploring the nearby beaches and coastline.

Professionally laundered bed linen provides that extra touch of luxury and ensures top quality cleanliness.

WiFi is free of charge and reliable through the property so you won't miss anything while you're away!

A short 5 minute drive will take you to the sandy beaches of the North Cornwall coastline, however there's no need to go anywhere to experience beautiful views of the stunning Cornish countryside. Our lodges are situated in a gated courtyard with outdoor seating, BBQs and fabulous views to enjoy.

A small area of field is also available for outdoor games so you won't be lost for things to do if you fancy spending a day close to home!

If you like to eat in, the kitchens are fully equipped with oven, electric hob and dishwasher so there's no need to argue over who's doing the washing up!
