About this property
The Stable, once part of the original farmhouse at Lee Barton Farm is a pretty ivy clad, stone building and offers lovely long views of the surrounding countryside and is just 5.5 miles from the Centre of Bude. Step inside to a comfortable sitting room with relaxing sofas, a dining area and a fully equipped kitchen to prepare family meals. There are two bedrooms; a double and twin room, which share a family bathroom. The cottage opens onto a large lawned garden ideal for relaxing at the end of a long day exploring this popular area. Great for families or friends looking for a quiet peaceful holiday, yet close to the beach.
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.

The cottage was cold with only one storage heater and a couple of electric oil radiators for heating. Also the shower had a very weak flow once you turned it up to warmer water.

Mr and Mrs Hobbs, the owners, were friendly and very welcoming. We enjoyed the large communal garden and local walks. Bude is a great little town. We spent time swimming in the sea pool, surfing off Summerleaze and Crooklets and shopping. The ice cream shop was awesome!
