About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

This cosy cottage is located in the hilltop town of Chulmleigh... which is more like a village with great amenities including a convenience store, a butcher's shop, a baker's shop (selling the most amazing bread and cakes!!), a couple of pubs and a tea shop. Chulmleigh is situated in North Devon between Exmoor and Dartmoor with easy access to the coast and some wonderful beaches. The cottage is over 250 years old and overlooks the church. It is detached and has a private secluded safe courtyard both at the front and the back of the cottage. There are two double bedrooms and a small single bedroom, a kitchen/dining area and a cosy living room with a wood burner for those cold days! The bathroom upstairs has a shower within the bath and downstairs is a W.C. All towels and bedding are provided. The kitchen has an electric oven and hob, a microwave, a dishwasher and a fridge/freezer. Small dogs are welcome but we just ask that they don't go upstairs. The local shop (open from 06:30 until 21:00) has everything you need including logs and kindling for the fire if you need it. The Red Lion pub has a wonderful cosy atmosphere, offering good home style cooked food and some great ales!! Just over the back of the cottage is access to Chulmleigh golf course - an 18 hole par 3 course, a family run business.

During your stay at this cottage, you're just a quick walk from Chulmleigh Golf Course. The cottage includes amenities such as free WiFi and a kitchen.

Lovely spacious cottage in beautiful village location

We are a family of four - two adults and two children - plus the dog, and chose this cottage based on location and prior reviews. We stayed two weeks and it was great, were delighted to have a spacious kitchen/dining area and separate living room (this wasn't obvious from the pictures) as well as the courtyard at the back. The kitchen had everything we needed too. It is worth noting that the single bedroom is quite small but overall the cottage suited our needs perfectly. Chulmleigh village is really lovely, very friendly and all the essentials in the convenience store and some lovely other shops and pubs - we particularly enjoyed our meal at the Red Lion and our takeaway from the Tandoori! The location was fantastic also, very central and not difficult to get to any of the many beaches or other attractions. Thank you so much again Martin, we will definitely stay here again next time we visit Devon!

Property could have been a little cleaner.

Recommend you change your cleaning services; could use a deeper clean. Since dogs are not wanted upstairs a door that latches would be beneficial. More toilet paper supplies would be appreciated as would the ability to make coffee. The house is in a lovely location, if a little difficult to locate at first.

The cottage was spacious for guests. Things I’d add: an additional comfy chair for the 5th person when sitting in the lounge. I was disappointed with the facilities in the kitchen and the cleanliness of it. The work surface was sticky as were all the appliances and cupboard doors. I cleaned before I did any cooking. There was no coffee making facilities. The two frying pans were badly scratched so unusuable (damaged Teflon surfaces are dangerous to use). It would have been useful to have a few dishwasher tablets included in the rental cost. And a few toilet rolls. The bathroom and bedroom facilities were great. Are you aware there is a huge hole in one of the bedroom floors, covered by the carpet.

Four day stay inland in north Devon

This is a much nicer cottage than might first appear. It is centrally located in the village with a very short level walk to the shops and pub. The only downside is its location, a 40 minute drive to the coast. And for you cyclists out there, it is on top of a hill!

Lovely village cottage

Clean, well presented cottage situated in a central location of a lovely village with convenient shops and pubs. The only minor issue is no WIFI (could be seen as a bonus to the majority, but unfortunately a lifeline for my teenage daughters).

Lovely, clean, well decorated cottage but the shower is very weak and the main bed we found too soft and bouncy. Has a little courtyard that isn't mentioned that gets afternoon and early evening sun.

Homely cottage in lovely village

A beautiful, homely cottage set in a secluded location next to the churchyard, with everything you could want or need for a comfortable stay. Owner was accommodating when we arrived slightly early. There isn’t any WiFi, but we weren’t too bothered by that, it encouraged family board games :) The only slightly negative point is the weak shower, although it is nice and hot! All in all we had a lovely few days away at this cottage and I personally could have moved straight in.

Lovely cottage

We loved this cottage. Reasonably priced and stylishly decorated. Would benefit from replacing mattress in single bedroom which was rather tired (like the person that tried to sleep on it!) and providing wifi, which would have been useful for work. Also, a more powerful shower would have been appreciated. Great communication with the owner. Chulmleigh is a pretty, friendly village - we enjoyed walking to the bakery each morning to buy our breakfast! Thankyou for having us!

Nice location and area

Nice, period cottage, deceptively spacious with all amenities you would need for your stay. The cottage is quite tricky to find and slightly hidden at the end of the grave yard. There’s no parking outside the cottage itself, so you have to use the free parking spaces either side of the Church, but these can fill up quickly. The cottage is located in the lovely, friendly town of Chulmleigh which describes itself as a town with the feel of a village and that’s quite true. Its off the main road located in rolling countryside and very peaceful. The town has two pubs, the Old Courthouse (a proper locals pub that does food) and the Red Lion but this was still closed during our stay. There’s also a corner shop (open early & late), butcher, deli, bakery and a very good Tandoori curry house which you can sit in or have a takeaway. Be aware that some shops close on a Monday. We had a couple of issues during our stay – the hot water and TV Sky box weren’t working as they should but the owner (Martin) took steps to quickly resolve these. The main points that we should highlight: • There should be some sort of ‘welcome pack’ for guests to refer to for such things as how-to on appliances, local information, details of local walks, shop & pub opening times, that sort of thing. • The shower needs a stronger power pump. • The main bedroom mattress was very springy (for us). • There is no Wi-Fi, something that in this day and age is becoming a necessity for guests. All in all, a lovely stay.
