Places of Interest

Built in 1840 as a Wesleyan Methodist Chapel, this grade II listed chapel was converted into living accommodation in the 1980's. At the end of 2006 it was fully renovated to provide exceptional three bedroom detatched holiday accommodation for up to six people:

Bude is some 8-9 miles away. Lovely wide expanse of sand on the Summerleaze and Crooklets beaches and nearby Widemouth with some of the best surfing in Cornwall.

Bude offers a range of activities such as coastal walks, adventure parks, golf, cycling, kite surfing, fishing, both canal and sea, tennis, crazy golf, horse riding, ten pin bowling, indoor swimming pool, shopping, restaurants, public houses, historic churches, museum, library and much more.

Kilkhampton the nearest village has two convenience stores, butcher, two public houses offering food as well as local ales. The New Inn is more of a family pub where as the London Inn is more of a drinking pub. A popular Chinese take away has recently opened and there is also a traditional fish and chip shop but be aware as it shuts quite early it may be worth checking the opening times in their window.

Crafts and artefacts can be bought at Simply Wood and there is also a traditional children’s toyshop in the village.

The centre of the village is dominated by St James church that dates back to the Roman times. The church was probably rebuilt in the 15th century but still has the magnificent south doorway constructed in 1130.The memorial stone outside is dedicated to the men who lost their lives in the 1914-1918 war.

Clovelly is a tiny fishing village secluded but easy to find, signposted off the A39. There is an information centre at the top of the steep access down to the village but they do charge around £7 entrance fee per adult. Family tickets are a little cheaper. It is well worth a visit to check out this historic site with plenty of shops and eateries along the way.

The traffic free village offers the old fashioned transport of donkeys to those who do not wish to exert too much energy on the steep cobbled pathway.

Boscastle, 14 miles south of Bude is a conservation area, one of the few remaining unspoilt harbour villages, put on the map by the well publicised 2004 flood. The harbour was once a hive of activity with trade taking place between Wales, Bristol and the South of England. A path follows a fast flowing bubbling stream, which leads to several hidden churches allowing you to discover the little known connection between North Cornwall and Thomas Hardy. There are many gift and craft shops in the village.

Wadebridge is a bustling market town that offers 17 miles of traffic free walking on the Camel Trail. There is a surprise around every corner from the biggest store to the smallest shop. Wadebridge hosts the Royal Cornwall show every June and the Cornwall Folk Festival every August Bank Holiday.

These are just a sample of the many wonderful places we would recommend visiting. A visit to the tourist information centre in Bude will help you on your way if you are short of ideas.

We also leave a selection of local attraction leaflets to assist in your decision making for a fabulous holiday.
