Beach Hut Short Term Hire Terms and Conditions

We rent beach huts on a ‘per night’ basis with a minimum of three-nights.

The hire period starts from 11am and finishes at 7am.  This is to allow you to use the hut in the evening and early morning.

When you have finished with the hut, you simply clean and empty the hut and post the key through the letter box at the Summerleaze Beach Office.

If you return the key late, the next booking will be late too.  We reserve the right to charge a fee under these circumstances.

Dogs are very welcome in most huts.  You’ll see which huts are dog friendly when you reach the booking stage.  Please also be mindful of seasonal dog-ban/restrictions on the beach.

Many huts have a folding table, hooks and a rail and some have a bench.   Unfortunately, Beach Huts do not have mains water or electricity.

BBQ’s may only be used on the beach.  Dedicated fire-proof bins are provided at Summerleaze and Crooklets Beach for disposable BBQ’s.

Please take great care, and always saturate the sand with water until it is cool to the touch before you leave.

Accessible to those with limited mobility:

  • For sand-free and level/sloped access from the car park, look at the beach huts at Summerleaze Green, Crooklets North and Crooklets Central.  There is a short walk over sand to reach the huts at Summerleaze Decking.

Accessible to wheelchair users:

  • The accessible Extra Large huts at Summerleaze and the medium huts at Crooklets Central are most suitable for wheelchair users.

Your booking reminder email will tell you if the key should be collected from the Bude TIC (generally off-season) or from the Summerleaze Beach Office (generally during the summer):

You must return the key to the Summerleaze Beach Office by 7am on your departure day – just post it through the letter box!
