Kilkhampton is an historic Cornish village, 4 miles from the popular Victorian seaside resort of Bude, one of Cornwall’s premier holiday locations. With its old church, village shops and atmospheric village pubs, Kilkhampton is a lovely place to relax after a hard day exploring the stunning beaches and spectacular coastal scenery for which the area is famous. Bude’s beaches attract surfers from all over the country and when conditions are right you’d be hard pushed to find better surf. When the tide is out, miles of golden sand and hundreds of rock pools keep visitors occupied for hours. The South West Coast Path, and many other rights-of-way winding over the clifftops and through lush green fields looking out over the sea, make this area a haven for walkers and lovers of the open countryside. For those who prefer staying closer to home, a good shopping centre and a selection of pubs, two clubs and restaurants are on offer. Bude canal, a registered nature reserve, passes through the town, and rowing a boat along its calm waters or walking the towpath among the beautiful (and friendly) water fowl that live among the reeds is a great way to spend an hour or two. Within the area there are also 2 golf courses, an indoor swimming pool, bowling alley at the leisure centre. A perfect location for all that North Cornwall has to offer.

It was my 70th birthday - so a good excuse for a party. The dining area in the kitchen was ideal and we all got seated at the table for brunch. The oil fired boiler gives off a distinctive aroma which reminded us of my Mums old house in Bovey. The bedrooms were good and comfortable. It was particularly useful having one downstairs bedroom as my wife and I have some mobility problems now. My dog and one of my sonâs dog had a great weekend together. My sonâs families enjoyed being able to go surfing as well. All in all a lovely weekend.

The owner was very helpful with sorting our little problems that occurred. The gardens and play area was well maintained as a three generation family it suited us perfectly with room for everyone. Thank you very much.

The kitchen was the best equipped for a large party that we have encountered with plenty of large pans. The sitting area was comfortable and spacious. Some of us found the beds more comfortable than others, but that is mainly personal choice. The only reason for not awarding full marks all round is that, as previous reviewers have noted, the water pressure in the upper bath and shower rooms was variable and sometimes absent.
