Perfect Cottage in rural Devon

A great place for a holiday on the edge of Exmoor. Perfect for a couple or small family. The pub across the square is great too! Also, it made a great base for cycling- I rode almost 100 miles on beautiful roads in the area during our stay!

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 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.
