About this property
Lovely cottage on the beautiful village square of Chittlehampton
Located on the square of the charming village of Chittlehampton in North Devon, Lychgate Cottage is a great holiday base for those wanting to experience a slice of village life. This terraced cottage has been renovated to a very good standard by the owners. Well-appointed and furnished throughout, the cottage is a great place to return to after a busy day of sightseeing or coping with the hectic pace of village life! Being located on the square means the good local pub and community run shop are all within easy walking distance. The village church that towers over the square also makes for an imposing sight. The cottage boasts an open plan downstairs with wooden floors and a well equipped kitchen (completely refitted in January 2021) together with comfortable dining and sitting areas. The first floor has a recently refitted shower room and has two double bedrooms.
Free parking is available in the square just outside the cottage.
The cottage has been offered for rent as a holiday cottage with cottages.com since July 2014, achieving an average customer rating in excess of 9.5/10 for each of the seasons from 2015 to 2020. Achieving a Customer's Choice award for this period.

About the host
Hosted by Miguel Ogilvie
We first came to Chittlehampton with our children in 2008, and unusually for us returned in 2009. Drawn to the village by it's peacefulness, friendliness and general charm, the decision to return was not a difficult one. The award winning local pub was an added bonus, offering great value pub food and an excellent choice of beers and ciders.
When the opportunity came to buy the cottage in 2014, we leapt at the chance and haven't look back since. We spend as much time as we can in the cottage whilst letting it for approximately 28 weeks a year. It really is a great place for a week or just a long weekend.

Why they chose this property
The property had just what we were looking for. It is well appointed, in a Conservation area, just across from the pub and in the shadow of the imposing St Hiertha's church.
We came to view the cottage on a cold wet February day and to say it wasn't at it's best is an understatement. However, some much needed redecoration to the exterior of the property and fitting out with new furniture made all the difference and now it really is a home from home!
