One of the best
This cottage was one of our favourite VRBO rentals. Chittlehampton is a lovely small town; the cottage is right on the main square between the church and the pub; and the house is charming, clean, comfortable, and has everything we needed for a week’s stay. We would highly recommend this cottage to anyone who wants a base for exploring the SW of England.

Chittlehampton
Last evening it was wonderful hearing the church bells ringing — apparently the Bell Ringers practise every Tuesday evening. This is a great centre to investigate the surrounding area — lots of practice in driving on narrow country lanes! The house is well set out with comfortable furniture and ample supply of dishes and cutlery. We would recommend it highly.

Chittlehampton stay
We were lucky in our choice of staying in this village and at this property. It is accurately represented in the description and if you want to explore North Devon then it is an ideal location. The village is authentic, quiet and friendly. Both the owner and the property manager were easy to deal with. Would recommend.

What a lovely cottage. Warm, comfortable and cosy and just right for our short break to Devon. It is so well equipped decorated and furnished that we wanted for nothing. The village is charming with its pub and community shop and a short drive took us to many attractions including the coastal town of Instow. We had such a relaxing time, and were even lucky with the weather, given it was a November break . Our thanks go to the owners who clearly want their guests to have a comfortable stay. We loved it.
