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!!

Outstanding cottage, fully equipped including a bottle of fizz & milk. Miguel (owner)always responded very quickly. The area of chittlehampton is just delightful, with a village shop offering everything you could desire, so no need to go to the supermarket. The cottage itself is just so comfortable & relaxing, I truly didn't want to leave, I just feel in love. Absolutely beautiful stay & looking at my next stay ❣️

Cottage at Chittlehampton
Cottage and amenities were excellent. It was well situated for exploring the surrounding area. Pity that the weather was not so good at times. Unfortunate that no phone coverage but wifi coverage was good. Bottle of wine was very welcome. Historical information about the cottage was extremely interesting. We really enjoyed our week there.
