21 The Glade

A single-storey chalet at Penstowe Holiday Village near Kilkhampton, sleeping four guests. Both bedrooms are on the ground floor, and up to two dogs are welcome.

The open-plan living space combines kitchen, dining area and sitting area on one level. The kitchen has an electric oven and hob, microwave and fridge - compact but functional. A Smart TV and WiFi are provided. Two ground-floor bedrooms - one double and one twin - share a bathroom with bath, shower over, basin and WC. A highchair and travel cot are available on request. A laundrette on site handles washing (charges apply).

A front patio with outdoor furniture provides a sheltered spot. Sandymouth Beach, a National Trust beach with wide golden sand at low tide and summer lifeguards, is within a 4-mile drive. Duckpool Beach - a remote, rocky cove also managed by the National Trust - is 2.9 miles along the coast.

Kilkhampton village is about 5 miles north-east of Bude, with a pub, post office and the 15th-century church of St James. The Coombe Valley nature reserve, managed by Cornwall Wildlife Trust, lies about a mile west with waymarked woodland trails. Bude's town beaches and canal are under 20 minutes by car. Off-road parking is included. Friday changeover, with short breaks available between April and October.

Nearby: Sandymouth Beach (within 4 miles) and Duckpool Beach (2.9 miles). See our Kilkhampton guide for more beaches and walks in the area.

Best for guests travelling with dogs, given the single-storey layout and on-site pet policy. Guests who need step-free access should check with the owner before booking. Less suited to two couples sharing, since the two bedrooms use one shared bathroom.
