Four miles from the well-known Victorian beach resort of Bude, one of Cornwall's top tourist spots, is the historic Cornish village of Kilkhampton. Kilkhampton, with its historic church, charming shops, and quaint pubs, is a great location to unwind after a long day of seeing the area's world-famous beaches and breathtaking coastal landscape. Surfers from all over the nation visit Bude's beaches because, when the circumstances are ideal, it's difficult to find better surf. Miles of golden beach and several rock pools keep visitors busy for hours when the tide is out. This region is a refuge for hikers and lovers of the open countryside thanks to the South West Coast Path and numerous additional rights-of-way that wind over the clifftops and through lush green fields with views of the sea. A good retail centre, many bars, two clubs, and restaurants are available for individuals who would rather stay closer to home. Bude Canal, a designated natural reserve, runs through the town. A relaxing way to spend an hour or two is to paddle a boat along its tranquil waters or stroll down the towpath among the lovely (and amiable) waterfowl that reside among the reeds. Also, there are two golf courses, an indoor pool, and a bowling alley in the vicinity. Well situated for everything North Cornwall has to offer.

It's located in a lovely peaceful place too. Kitchen is well equipped for visitors who may wish to make a meal too. It's a 5 minute drive into Bude, so you have the best of both holiday types. Bude is a lovely little place with shops and cafes too. This accommodation is situated in just the right place allowing the visitor a choice of surroundings near by I would recommend this property.
