The kitchen offers the basic amenities for a short break, including an electric oven and hob, microwave, fridge/freezer, dishwasher, wine cooler and Tassimo coffee machine, so you are well-equipped for a week away. Gather round the dining table and discuss tomorrow’s plans or whip out a board game and enjoy some quality family time. Each bedroom has been neatly presented, offering a king-size with en-suite shower, a double and a twin, served by a bathroom with bath and shower over, so you can enjoy lazy soaks after a long day. Take a drink outside and rest at the decking furniture, taking in the tranquil setting and rural vistas, or wander the grounds of the park as you become familiar with your surroundings. If you fancy a night away from the kitchen, then visit the on-site bar and cafe.

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.

    Lovely spacious rooms, with a high standard of furnishings. The cream tea is a lovely gesture, and the treats for dogs are very thoughtful. We have stayed a few times and will always keep coming back.

  • Jason

    Beds are a little soft but acceptable Flooring through out is lovely Site is dated Amnesties stating 30acres of land to roam in and swimming pool access are false. Not pleased about this!! Overall a pleasant stay but I think over priced for what it is.

  • Jenna

    Very clean and comfortable, spacious and a well equipped kitchen. The cream tea is a great touch, also all of the extras to accommodate dogs. The decking is a great area to relax and take in the views. We have already booked for another stay.
