  • "A very well designed & comfortable cottage in an excellent position."

    It is quite cosy downstairs, as we discovered when two friends joined us for a couple of days, but the bedrooms were spacious and the extra bathroom was very welcome. Parking in the nearby car park was no problem - and we were relieved to find that was space to unload/load outside for 30 minutes. An issue with a missing frying pan was swiftly resolved by the housekeeper & owner (although we later noticed that only one of the provided saucepans worked on the induction hob). But given the tight dining space (a table with foldaway chairs might help), it’s probably better to plan to eat out at one of the many nearby pubs in Chagford. Overall a lovely place to stay.

    Thank you for taking the time to review your stay. We’re glad you enjoyed the cottage and Chagford itself which is definitely a special place. As you say, the cottage is a 2up 2down so certainly cosy but hopefully well equipped and comfortable. Feedback from our guests is very important to us and I’ve tested the saucepans on the hob today - I’m glad to report they all work ok so I’m not sure what happened there and hope it didn’t spoil your stay. We hope to see you again in the future. Property Owner

    Good quality furnishings and equipment. Spotlessly clean and everything we needed for a relaxing holiday. Easy to park, the carpark is just a short walk through the churchyard. Lovely little town with independent shops. Good location for exploring the local area. Would definitely stay again if visiting the area. Recommended :))))

  • "Wow! What a lovely cozy completely refurbished cottage with all our needs catered for."

    We originally wanted a cottage with a real fire but we both loved the real like electric fire and decided it was better without the hassle of making it up after long walks bagging tors. The kitchen was more than fully equipped and everything was very good quality as the owners have a real detail for providing the best. The garden was lovely with the seating area but too cold for us to use but be lovely in the summer. Big spacious bedrooms with large king size beds and one en suite and even though we were almost on the Main Street it was very quiet. We loved the location being in the centre of Chagford with a good selection of artisan shops and being opposite Blacks the most amazing deli where we bought soups and cakes for our walks and three really lovely food pubs - The Three Crowns, The Globe and our favourite The Chagford Inn. We also recommend breakfast in The Old Forge Cafe. There’s an excellent wine shop selling local beer and cider and a bakery, greengrocers and butchers. We particularly loved the bell ringing on Tuesday evening for 90 minutes. We also managed to park on the street for free. We notice from the visitors book that many people stay for a second time and we can see why! Thank you to our hosts for making such a wonderful holiday stay

  • "Totally positive experience overall, the cottage is lovely and cosy and we didnt need to put the heating on at all, just the little electric heater in the front room for short periods of time."

    Beautifully equipped kitchen, thank you for all the extra bits that were provided. An extra side table would be great in the living room and also the lock on the bathroom door downstairs was a little sticky and sometimes didnt work and the bath was very slow to drain. Really minor issues to be honest and it was really lovely to meet you!

    We're very glad you enjoyed your stay in Church Cottage. We always want to improve and have acted on your feedback - there is now a nest of coffee tables instead of just one and the bathroom lock has been adjusted. The bath drain has been checked and is working, the pop up plug just needed a little adjustment which has also been done. We hope to welcome you back again. Property Owner

  • "Immaculate, stylish, well-designed accommodation."

    A perfect base for exploring Dartmoor. Only one minor quibble as regards facilities: although the water from the hot tap of the wash basin in the bathroom was always piping hot, the water from the hot tap of the bath itself was never better than lukewarm. Perhaps someone could take a look at the plumbing to see if the hot water situation could be improved. (I'm happy for my feedback to be published without the minor reservation regarding the hot water supply to the bath).

    Thank you very much for your positive review. We are very glad you enjoyed your stay in Church Cottage. It’s a lovely spot. We are following up the issue you reported with the bath and hope it didn’t spoil your stay. Property Owner
