A week of country life
The property fulfilled all our needs. It was comfy and quiet. Unfortunately on the last night our car, with French registration, was scraped all along the side. Clearly, parking in a public square makes one more vulnerable to such incidents. In every other way the cottage was beautifully positioned close to the church, and not far from the pub and village shop. Although we had cold, grey weather, we enjoyed ourselves very much.

Four night break
The property was ideally located close to local amenities. However you will need a car to get around if you would like to explore further out. The property has everything you would need for a short or longer stay. It is clean and tidy. We had breakfast one morning in the little shops tearoom. An evening meal and drink in the local pub. We would definitely stay here again if it was available at our chosen time. I had a question for the owners before we arrived and they replied quickly.

wonderful cottage & location
A wonderful cottage located in the center of a beautiful village. The cottage was spotlessly clean with everything we required, the welcome pack was much appreciated too. 50yds from the village pub which is highly recommended but be advised to book in advance for a table especially at weekends. Central to all the tourist spots and all within each reach, the scenery in this part of the country is breathtaking. would highly recommend staying at prospect cottage.

A home from home
Moving to Chittlehampton,were looking for somewhere to stay for the first few weeks nearby and Prospect Cottage was perfect. We felt at home immediately, it has a cosy atmosphere with everything you need for a comfortable stay. The view looking out of the cottage onto the square is quite charming with the Church at the top the Bell Inn at the bottom and beautiful cottages in between. There is also a fantastic village farm shop, tea shoppe and post office just around the corner which can supply all your needs. We would definitely recommend a stay any month of the year in Prospect Cottage.

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.

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.

Lovely setting in the square. Quiet environment with ample parking. We had a number of local activities in the square that livened up the evenings despite the dreary weather. Overall the stay was very comfortable in a well appointed unit.

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.

Great in every way!
Really nice cottage, homely feel. Extremely well equipped. Welcome breakfast tray on arrival. Lovely location in the village square, with church, pub and village shop a few steps away. Great location and lots of great places to visit close by including the coastal towns of Ilfracombe and Lynton and Lynmouth, and fabulous beaches of Croyde and Saunton. Highly recommended.

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.

This cottage didn't disappoint, it had everything that I needed except good weather. I loved the open plan layout which was ideal for the Bose radio. Lovely quiet village with plenty of good walks nearby. The "starter" food was appreciated as there is no local supermarket.
