  • "The Owners were friendly and welcoming and lovely surprise with the tea, milk and biscuits for humans and dog."

    Swallow cottage was clean and comfortable for our weeks stay. Not too far away by car to shops. Lovely communal gardens and the surroundings and views were amazing. It is close to the lovely town of Bude a 12 minute drive. The cottage had myself, partner and large dog. We had a lovely week.

    The owners left a welcome pack of Cornish biscuits, a jug of milk and tea bags, which was most appreciated. We took full advantage of the beautiful bluebell wood walk and the monks' ponds, taking our dog there most day. The owner's were friendly and on hand to give advice or help at all times.

    Thank you for your feedback. We are so pleased that you enjoyed our home and gardens as much as you did. Property Owner

  • "A great cottage with all you need for a comfortable stay."

    Great location for exploring the coast line. We didn’t attempt the walk to Duckpool beach this time but did drive down and can recommend climbing the cliffs for a beautiful sunset! Lots of bonuses about the cottage including washing facilities and washing lines, the utility area and additional toilet, plenty of room for myself and 4 teenagers. Can certainly recommend a visit to swallow cottage. One thing I might suggest as a minor addition would be some games, cards or puzzles for guests to enjoy on a cooler or wet evening!

    Thank you for your feedback. Really pleased you found so much to do. We will look into providing some games and puzzels. Property Owner

  • "Swallow cottage was lovely."

    Great location to explore that part of Cornwall. Plenty of space for a family of 6. And a very well stocked kitchen which was a pleasant surprise. The garden area isn’t fully enclosed for each cottage so we didn’t tend to make use of the outdoor space during our stay, but the weather wasn’t always great anyway! Owners were welcoming and friendly. The New Inn served very nice food. A visitors book with local recommendations/suggestions from previous guests would have been nice, but the cottage information folder was useful.

    Thank you for your lovely feed back. Glad you enjoyed the cottage and our part of Cornwall. Property Owner

  • "Lovely cottage tucked away on a working farm."

    Dog friendly which was even better. Only reason I gave it 9 out of 10 was the front door had gaps where the air could get through creating a bit of a draft otherwise would definitely recommend staying here.

    Glad you enjoyed the cottage and your holiday. We will look into the drafty door. Property Owner

    We stayed for a week and found that the cottage had all that we needed (another comfy seat would have been perfect but didn't particularly hinder our enjoyment). The ground are lovely and it is very peaceful. The walk to the Duck Pool is very lovely. The owners were very helpful and friendly.

    1 more comfy seat needed as 6 person, but settee space 5. Hot water, not a big enough tank for 6 holiday makers. After doing washing up, not enough to have a bath. Water system very loud upstairs, so no pulling of flush during the night.

    Fantastic views across the landscape. You feel you away from everything else whilst still having easy access to other parts of Cornwall. Welcoming host and the experience of being on the edge of a farm. Garden area large and well kept. An interesting place to be. One very minor issue and that is the supply of hairdryer or tell us we need to bring one.

About the location

BUDE

Tintagel 17 miles.

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.
