About
The Old Rectory is draped with blossoming wisteria in the spring and the stunning manicured lawns and leafy greens look gorgeous all-year round. The Old Rectory Estate features Grade II listed buildings, with parts dating back as far as the 17th century, and can be booked out for exclusive use, sleeping up to 14 across its three properties.
Large in size and in its history, The Old Rectory is situated just a five-minute stroll from the village of Kilkhampton, the most northerly village in Cornwall and is believed to date back to Saxon times. The village now boasts a real sense of community and features a village pub, a family butchers and two shops. You’re also not far from sandy shores with glorious National Trust-owned Sandymouth just three miles away.
The Old Rectory makes a somewhat special property for your Cornish holiday. With a property as impressive as this as you’d expect the outside space is spectacular. There’s an abundance of space for guests and their furry friends with a private kitchen garden with BBQ, croquet lawn, firepit and tables and chairs as well as plenty of parking. A somewhat tranquil retreat the views are spoiling stretching out as far as Bodmin Moor and Dartmoor.
The Old Rectory makes a stunning large holiday home set in its own peaceful haven, yet just a short drive away from neighbouring Bude with its plethora of award-winning beaches.

Activities
The Old Rectory is just six miles inland from Bude, sitting on the North Cornwall and Devon border and offering a traditional beachside holiday for couples and families alike. The house is located on the outskirts of the small village of Kilkhampton where a short walk away you will find there’s a Coop supermarket, local shops, Church, takeaways and pub.
There are two Blue Flag sandy beaches located in Bude itself, Summerleaze Beach and Crooklets Beach. Both have beach huts available for hire and overlooking Summerleaze Beach is the Bude Sea Pool, which is a free tidal swimming pool that is run and maintained by a team of volunteers (so donations are welcomed). Other beaches only a couple of miles away are Widemouth Bay, Northcott Mouth and Sandymouth Beach, all of which showcase dramatic scenery and are dog friendly all year round.
There are a variety of cafes and bars if you are looking to eat out, from The Barge (a floating cafe on Bude’s canal) to Elements at The beach that serves fine dining and cocktails with fantastic views out to sea.
If you are seeking an active holiday, then Bude has a number of surf, paddleboard and adventure activity schools to help you have fun, whilst staying safe. Bude’s beaches are favoured with surfers, kite surfers and paddle boarders. There are surf hire huts too, for those who are just ‘trying it out’.
The Bude canal has fun for all the family with pedal boats and rowing boats for hire, followed by a spot of shopping on the canal side at The Wharf, where you will find many local artisan items for sale. Throughout summer, there is also the Bude Farmers Market held each Friday and you can also find a proper Cornish ice-cream here to cool down with.
Widemouth Bay sits just a couple of miles south of Bude and while it benefits from all the Bude has to offer, is a slightly quieter setting. It is a beachside village dotted with cafes and bars, plus everything you need for a great day at the beach. Surf hire and surf schools are available and there is a very chilled out feeling to this area.
Bude and Widemouth Bay are close to the A39, which makes it easy to explore the North Cornwall and Devon coastline. Only a short drive away are the historic villages of Tintagel and Boscastle, steeped in legends and folklore. Padstow is also only an hours drive from Bude, and is favoured among foodies with many talented chefs serving up fresh local food.
