The cottage is situated on the edge of Kilkhampton village, providing easy access to two traditional inns, local stores, and a variety of takeaways. The nearby A39 road allows for convenient travel, while the popular seaside town of Bude, just a short distance away, features a vibrant selection of independent shops, restaurants, and bars, along with three sandy beaches and numerous leisure activities. The surrounding area also invites exploration of the rugged coastline and picturesque fishing villages such as Hartland, Clovelly, Boscastle, and Port Isaac.
This quaint split-level cottage is designed with couples in mind, showcasing exposed beams and many characterful features. Upon entering through the low stable door, guests are welcomed into a sunken lounge area, which is a cozy nook complete with comfortable seating, an electric wood burner effect stove, bookshelves, and a large Smart TV for entertainment. The layout flows into a spacious kitchen/diner, equipped with modern appliances including an electric oven, hob, microwave, and a fridge with an ice compartment, along with a dining table that facilitates enjoyable mealtimes.
The bathroom is functional, featuring a bath with a shower overhead and a WC.

Outside, guests can enjoy an open area furnished with garden furniture and a charcoal BBQ, perfect for al fresco dining or relaxation.
For added convenience, the cottage includes off-road parking for one vehicle and access to a shared laundry room equipped with a tumble dryer. This space also offers secure storage for water sports equipment, surfboards, and bicycles, making it an ideal base for those looking to explore the natural beauty of North Cornwall and Devon.
