About this property
Kilkhampton 3.4 miles. Set in Eastcott, near the historic village of Kilkhampton in Cornwall, is this delightful three-bedroom cottage, Spring Lodge. Enjoying far-reaching views of the surrounding farmland, private gardens with patio areas, a hot tub, and barbecue, and a spacious living layout, the cottage welcomes six guests, ideal for both families and groups. Cater to your group's needs in the well-equipped kitchen, before dining around the formal six-seater table, or perhaps head to the suntrap conservatory to savour your meals? If you're a lover of the outdoors, instead opt for alfresco lunches by preparing a barbecue, while the hot tub warms up. Inside, you'll also find a homely sitting room with a woodburning stove in tow, to gather around before resting your eyes in one of three well-presented bedrooms. The cottage is complete with a contemporary bathroom and a sleek ground-floor shower room, to offer full flexibility, no matter your visit. Beyond Spring Lodge, head to Kilkhampton, home to The London Inn, where you can enjoy some pub grub or even a late-night tipple, while the essentials can be purchased from the local Co-op. Just a short journey away you'll reach the S W coastal path, running across the shoreline of Cornwall, perfect to follow if you're appreciative of stunning views and the sea air, or maybe relax upon Welcombe Mouth Beach, or perhaps visit The Ultimate Adventure Centre, offering a range of outdoor activities, including sea coasteering. Travelling towards Bude, take a dip in the sea pool, a semi-natural turquoise pool, perfect to enjoy on those warmer days, or if you'd prefer to spend your time on foot, Bude Castle and Tintagel Castle are must-visits, both rich in local heritage. Redirecting North, arrive at The Clovelly Waterfall, nestled within a secluded cave, Hartland Abbey, a grand dwelling, offering guided tours, and St Catherine's Tor, enjoying cliff top views, overlooking North Devon. Take to Cornwall with Spring Lodge as your base.
Four miles from the well-known Victorian beach resort of Bude, one of Cornwall's top vacation 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 breath-taking 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.

We were also taken aback by the curtesy and friendly attitude of the vendors who made our holiday very memorable. Many thanks to all who acted so thoroughly well during our holiday.
