Description

Recommended. Ideal for both large or smaller groups. ‘The Wagon Linney’ is situated near Kilkhampton village, 5 miles from the beaches at Bude, North Cornwall. Under 2 miles to Duckpool beauty spot and beach. Lovely Nat Trust footpath walk leading from farm, through Coombe Valley and down to Duckpool beach. Bude is a beach resort with varied holiday attractions, a favourite for surfers; free huge open air beach swimming pool, golf course, leisure centre, boating on Bude canal and much more. A rugged coastline, with miles of beaches and coastal walks. At low tide try the 2 miles plus walk from Sandymouth beach (an excellent sandy beach 3 miles away) along the various beaches to Bude or choose the cliff top option. ‘The Wagon Linney’ is a terraced stone house in a pretty rural setting on a 300 acres working farm (beef and dairy), at the top of the farm’s driveway. The house was converted during 2003 from an old 18th century stone barn, the owners having taken great care to preserve the original character of the building (exposed beams etc) and to provide appealing accommodation. Own large front garden. Coarse fishing inclusive, approx. a 5 minutes stroll to the farm’s 2 ponds. One pond (approx. 66 yards long) was restocked with coarse fish during 2010 (tench, golden rudd & carp). Tench up to 3 lbs and carp up to 10 lbs. The 2nd pond, dating back to medieaval times, was originally used as a carp pond by local monks back in the 12 th century and is one of the oldest in the country (featured on a T.V. programme) and has been set aside as a nature sanctuary, often hosting migratory birds such as ducks. What makes the ponds so attractive is that they are in a wooded setting, making a lovely venue for picnics, fishing, or just to enjoy the scenery. For the more energetic minded, walk across the adjacent field (with panoramic views over the countryside) along the footpath through the farm’s 13 acres of woodland.
