Sustainable Property
Sustonica, the first global sustainability standard for holiday lets.
Our aim is to create lasting holiday memories and we intend to do so both responsibly and sustainably.
To deliver on this we've set out a number of environmental and social pledges which help to focus our efforts;
you can read more about them in our Impact Report.
This is why we've partnered with Sustonica, the first global certification for holiday lets,
to support our owners to be more sustainable.
The Sustonica certification focuses on four key areas: energy conservation, water conservation,
waste reduction and promoting inclusiveness. They are on a mission to become the most widely
recognised sustainability standard for holiday rentals and a catalyst to reduce emissions of holiday
lets and influence guests to reduce their own household consumption too.
Properties that display the Sustonica badge have successfully passed the criteria,
which align with the UN Sustainable Development Goals and the Global Sustainable Tourism Council standards,
and their owner has made a commitment to look after our planet as well as you.
Quiet, beautiful scenery. We enjoyed visiting the Duckpool Beach not far away from the cottage.
The kind owner of the farm was gracious enough to stop by when we had a concern and it was sorted immediately.
Tasted the famous Cornwall Fairings for the first time coutesy the farm owners. We say a big thank you to them.

"We enjoyed our stay at The Dairy, even though we had no hot water 3 times during our 5 day stay."
However this was quickly rectified by the owner. A great location for several beaches. A really well equipped property.
Thank you for your feedback. Unfortunately things do go wrong but we do try to sort them out as soon as possible. Thank you for you patience and understanding.
Glad you still had a good holiday.

"It was a real experience staying on a working farm."
Personally I would prefer a place nearer the town of Bude. It meant a lot more driving to get to anywhere on typical narrow Cornish roads. We got into a routine of going out once, and not returning until late afternoon then stay in for the evening. There was no walkable pub, shop, restaurant. Having said this the Barn was very well equipped and comfortable.

"Had we known that this property had a very dangerous approach (single track winding road with lots of blind corners and hardly any passing places), we would not have booked it."
On our first night there we nearly had a head on collision with another very aggressive driver. The collision was only avoided by our hesitant and careful driving. The other driver kept coming at us forcing us back for a long way, despite a passing place not far behind him. In addition the farmer arrived in the evening to advise that due to problems with water flow, the en-suite toilet cistern had to be filled manually. I spent a lot of time filling up the cistern with jugs of water. There was a slight mention of water pressure problems in other reviews but we felt this was significantly down played and did not reflect the full extent of the problem.
However, we had comfortable sofas for the evening, a good sized table to sit around and the beds weren't bad.

"We didn’t want to leave!"
The dairy is a beautiful house surrounded by rolling hills and cows…lots of cows! The little park was a hit with the children who have lots of steam to burn off. Johnathan(the owner/farmer) made use feel very welcome and introduced himself on arrival. We had an issue with my glasses…Johnathan came and saved the day with extra small screwdrivers to fix them. He is a very kind thoughtful chap! He also made our 4 year olds week by letting him Sit in his tractor(he is obsessed with tractors) The little ponds are down the road, they aren’t immediately on your door step, so as long as you don’t let your children roam the whole farm alone, they aren’t a danger. You do not need to take anything extra like towels, bottle openers, all kitchen accessories, it’s all there! There is even a tea pot and cafetière ready to use. The washing machine and dishwasher work as they should and are added bonuses as I certainly don’t want to be taking wet smelly clothes home or washing up all holiday! Do remember this is a working farm(cows…lots of lady cows who have the freedom to roam and enter the milking station at their own accord 24/7) Even with the cows roaming, it is silent, peaceful and relaxing. We will be back next year! Thank you for making us feel so welcome.
Thank you for your feedback. So pleased you felt so welcome and that we were able to help make your holiday one to remember. We are looking forward to seeing you soon.

Also the farm cat visited lots,we even bought cat food for it during our stay.
Nothing like waking up and the first sound you hear is the cows mooing.
Only negative was the shower water pressure,But to be honest you expect it when your in the middle of nowhere so wouldn't hesitate to go back to The Dairy in the future.
Nice little gift of a jug af fresh milk and a packet of biscuits when we arrived,also the farmer/owner popped round to make sure everything was OK and that we were settling in OK.

"The cottage was brilliant and all our needs were met."
The owner was really friendly and said we could contact them if we needed anything. The children and I believe the adults liked seeing the cows waiting to be milked. The farm itself is close to lots of beaches and we really enjoyed our ramble down to Duckpool beach doing a scavenger hunt on the way. It can be a bit dicey on some of the lanes we drove carefully as we bumped into tractors,hedge cutters and vans. The London inn pup in a near by village served excellent home cooked food with super child friendly staff.

Where you’ll be staying
BUDE
Tintagel 17 miles.
Kilkhampton is an historic Cornish village, 4 miles from the popular Victorian seaside resort of Bude, one of Cornwall’s premier holiday locations. With its old church, village shops and atmospheric village pubs, Kilkhampton is a lovely place to relax after a hard day exploring the stunning beaches and spectacular coastal scenery for which the area is famous. Bude’s beaches attract surfers from all over the country and when conditions are right you’d be hard pushed to find better surf. When the tide is out, miles of golden sand and hundreds of rock pools keep visitors occupied for hours. The South West Coast Path, and many other rights-of-way winding over the clifftops and through lush green fields looking out over the sea, make this area a haven for walkers and lovers of the open countryside. For those who prefer staying closer to home, a good shopping centre and a selection of pubs, two clubs and restaurants are on offer. Bude canal, a registered nature reserve, passes through the town, and rowing a boat along its calm waters or walking the towpath among the beautiful (and friendly) water fowl that live among the reeds is a great way to spend an hour or two. Within the area there are also 2 golf courses, an indoor swimming pool, bowling alley at the leisure centre. A perfect location for all that North Cornwall has to offer.
Note: There are a number of ponds at this property, children should be supervised. Note: This property has a 4pm arrival time. Note: Pets are welcome at this property but as this is a working farm, dogs must be kept on a lead whilst in the grounds and it is essential that you clean up after your animals.
Note: It is not possible to charge electric vehicles at the property
