Booking & Availability

  • You can check live availability, book and pay securely online via our booking page. Simply choose your dates to see current prices and availability.

  • Yes. A 20% deposit is required to secure your booking, payable online at the time of reservation. The remaining balance is due 60 days before arrival.

    If you would prefer to spread the cost of your holiday, we are also happy to arrange instalment payments.

    Please contact us if you would like to arrange an instalment plan or discuss booking / payment options

  • We don’t have a fixed nightly rate, as prices vary depending on the season, length of stay and availability.

    Shorter stays can appear more expensive per night because cleaning and hot tub preparation costs are fixed per stay rather than per night. For this reason, longer stays usually offer better overall value.

    We also offer reduced rates during quieter periods, particularly between November and March, as Cornwall is a very seasonal destination. Teal Lodge Cornwall is available to guests year-round.

    You can view live prices and availability on our booking page, which always shows the best available direct rate.

  • To ensure the lodge can be properly prepared for every guest, we do not offer one-night stays.

    Typically, the minimum stay is three nights, which allows us to cover the time and preparation required for the hot tub and full housekeeping between guests.

    In quieter periods, or for late availability where other bookings allow, we may occasionally offer two-night stays.

    During peak holiday periods, school holidays, Christmas and New Year, longer minimum stays may apply.

    You can always check current availability and minimum stay requirements on our online booking calendar, or contact us if you have any questions.

  • Arrival & departure days vary depending on the time of year. In peak periods a weekly minimum stay may apply with limited changeover day options. At other times of year shorter stays are usually available with more flexible arrival & departure dates. Please check your dates on our booking page or contact us if your preferred dates are available but not open to book

  • Yes — Teal Lodge Cornwall is available for holiday stays throughout the year.

    The lodge is independently managed, so guests can enjoy stays even during the quieter winter months when the wider Newperran Holiday Resort is typically closed to central bookings. During this time the resort tends to be especially peaceful and relaxed, with only private owners and their guests on site.

  • Yes — we are often able to offer longer stays during the quieter winter months, subject to availability and certain conditions.

    This can be a great option for guests looking for a longer coastal break or a peaceful winter stay in Cornwall, and we have previously welcomed guests needing temporary accommodation while their own homes were unavailable.

    If you are interested in stays longer than 14 days, please contact us to discuss availability and rates.

    Please note that Teal Lodge Cornwall is a holiday let rather than residential accommodation, so we are unable to accept bookings intended as a primary residence or long-term tenancy.

  • Our standard check-in time is from 4pm and check-out is by 10am.
