Cosy and comfortable base
We stayed in early March whilst visiting family. The cottage was ideal - small but perfectly formed. It had everything we could possibly need and provided a warm and comfortable base.It's located on the village square, which provides ample parking. The communication with Miguel was great and the information supplied was excellent. We had a meal in The Bell ph, which is located on the opposite side of the village square. The pub is very welcoming and provides super food at a very reasonable price. An excellent stay all round. Thank you Miguel.

Great location in town square of a quaint village
A lovely place to stay in a quaint rural village. We really enjoyed the property and being on the town square with a really fabulously run and family owned pub across the square. The place was clean, good size rooms and all that you needed. Id definitely book again

Lovely, well presented little cottage with all essential things you need to make your stay as easy and comfortable as possible. A home from home and Chittlehampton is a lovely area and the people are too. Not too far a drive to barnstaple or to most of the beaches so is a good location. Would definitely recommend and would definitely consider returning in the future!!
