Great place to stay

Stayed with our teenager and small dog, easy check in and property was super clean. Everything included that we could need. It’s quite hilly and the paths were a little slippy in the wet (so take care). Car park is very close to the property. A great base for exploring North Cornwall/Devon, excellent value and we would definitely stay again.

Great location for activities

We had a wonderful stay at this location. The place is well equipped with a nice kitchen and 2 bed rooms. Just be mindful there are no facilities in the park and be prepared that you need coins for the electricity. The owner is very helpful and communicative before we arrived.

Kilkhampton Chalet

Small beach style chalet that we used for a week. Clean and in a good state of upkeep it is in a good location to explore both North Cornwall and North Devon. Very good communication with the host and a smooth check in and out process. The chalet comes with passes for the swimming pool / leisure centre on site (should it not be beach weather) plus there is a bar you can utilise with regular entertainment. Overall a great stay and would recommend.

Superschoon!

Dit huisje ligt op een park waar veel huisjes kriskras geplaatst zijn. Ons huisje lag verscholen tussen bossages en we konden het in eerste instantie dan ook niet vinden. De locatie en het klimaat zorgden er misschien voor dat het bij eerste binnenkomst wat muf rook. Maar het was verder helemaal spic&span! Het beddengoed rook heerlijk naar wasmiddel en ook de badkamer en keuken waren heel schoon. Het huisje is goed uitgerust, veel keukengerei en ook veel poetsmiddelen ;). Heerlijke bank! Het enige wat wat ons betreft beter kan is fijn meubilair om buiten te zitten. Het park heeft heel verschillende huisjes, sommigen oud, anderen heel mooi opgeknapt. Er is een restaurant in een oude mansion, waar ook gewerkt werd aan verfraaiing. Ook is er een zwembad (binnen). Dat was het wat ons betreft nét niet; niet zo'n fris water en ;je mocht er niet rennen, duiken of balspelen doen.

Lovely chalet.

Lovely chalet, very clean and cosy. Annette was very welcoming and even offered to post a our phone charger we left behind to us. Kids enjoyed the games. Unfortunately there is no DVD player to play the dvds. And couldn't figure out how the WiFi worked. Other than that it had everything we needed for a lovely week. I would definitely stay here again. The site is under new management and are making lots of improvements the pool is great and king Arthur's had plenty of evening entertainment, great staff and lots to do for the kids including kids games, arcade and a party bus.

Could be better.

The location was good as it is near to Bude. The site itself was empty for August - it is all a bit dated. Chalet had not been thoroughly cleaned. Skirting boards were thick with dirt, carpet needed a thorough hoover, mattress topper looked like it had the outline of a previous occupant, damp cleaning cloths left on the kitchen side. Generally a bit grubby. The total cost for my August week was about £590 (including the ‘servicing charge’) so I was willing to accept the beds weren’t great and the furniture in the lounge was old but I do expect a high level of cleanliness. There are no sheets or duvets covers - so this needs to be made clearer on the description as I only discovered this a few days before going. Swimming pool was listed on facilities but in fact, our chalet did NOT have access and you can’t pay to use it. I contacted owner who said swimming pool should not be on ‘facilities’. As for cleaning she said her friend on site does it. I have suggested a professional cleaner if renting to the public. All in all - good value but the cleaning issue and the lack of pool was disappointing. The chalet has potential - details need to be clearer, proper cleaning done and some newer furniture in lounge.
