An immaculately clean and well equipped chalet, we found this chalet had everything you could need, all the cooking utensils you could require, a lovely cosy little chalet about a 30 seconds walk from the lower car park

Great base for North Cornwall

We have just spent 5 nights in Penstowe and really enjoyed it. The chalet is great with a modern kitchen and bathroom and was spotless. It was a really great base for exploring Cornwall.

Great place to stay. everything you need for a short or longer stay. Clean and tidy with everything you need in the kitchen and cleaning products. Wifi was a bit hit and miss but not an issue as we were not there for too long to need it for anything special. As stated the pay as you go electric did go pretty fast but mainly when using the shower.

Short stay

Property was very clean, well presented and in excellent condition. Was used as a base for the Wyldes festival but would also be perfect for day trips around Cornwall.

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.

Accommodation was lovely modern and clean, quiet and peaceful. ideally located for where we needed to be visiting family in Stibb, although for others everything is really a car journey to shop etc and pub only serving food from food van on evenings which didn’t bother us but maybe people with younger children not much to do for them. As a family with older children this suited us and we would return.

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.

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.
