“We had a lovely holiday at Chilvery Farm and it was perfect.”

The house is so nice I could live there forever and the access to the field and lake were a huge bonus, especially with a dog. I took him down there every morning for a run around before we went off for the day. The bedroom was great with lovely views across the fields and the bed was comfortable. The bathroom was good with a lovely long bath so being quite short I could practically lie down in it! The kitchen was perfect, and I even sat in the conservatory for a few hours in spite of it being ...

The house is so nice I could live there forever and the access to the field and lake were a huge bonus, especially with a dog. I took him down there every morning for a run around before we went off for the day. The bedroom was great with lovely views across the fields and the bed was comfortable. The bathroom was good with a lovely long bath so being quite short I could practically lie down in it! The kitchen was perfect, and I even sat in the conservatory for a few hours in spite of it being November! The pictures were lovely too, especially the horses on the landing. I love the idea of having the photobook depicting every stage of the transformation from barn to comfortable cottage, it made the place feel very sepcial seeing how it has been so lovingly renovated. On the slightly negative side there were a lot of cobwebs under furniture and in all the nooks and crannies in the living room and downstairs loo. I understand that it is an old cottage but I noticed that some previous occupants had said the same but the cobwebs are still there. The only other thing was that we did not get any logs which I have just read should have been included in the rent. We did manage to buy our own so it wasn't a problem but worth mentioning. We would definitely go back as the positives far outweigh the very small negatives.

“The cottage was lovely and in an excellent location.”

- Mrs Handy, September 2019
“We very much enjoyed our stay at Chilvery Farm.”

We especially loved the walk down to the pond and the pond itself was a beautiful spot, it was very well kept. The house feels spacious and comfortable, with good facilities. The views are wonderful, it is a very peaceful area with lots of wildlife.

- Mrs Curtis, August 2019
“A lovely comfortable cottage with lots of space and lovely views from the patio garden and bedrooms.”

A nice touch with welcome gifts and the wildlife trail and lake is fabulous and great for dogs. Ideally located for East and West Devon, Dartmoor and Cornwall as well. Chagford village outstanding.

- Mr Swinburne, July 2019
“Lovely cottage in wonderful location with magnificent views over the countryside with the bonus of the lovely walk down to the pond which we enjoyed most days.”

The cottage could benefit from a ‘spring clean’ though - although appreciate the Cottage is old, there were cobwebs everywhere you looked. Also a clearer explanation of which part of the garden can be used would be helpful - in the book it tells you to go through the gate marked private but this clearly belongs to the Cottage opposite- the Linhay. The conservatory was such an asset - we spent most of our time in their just enjoying the views and watching the birds - utter peace and tranquility. Would love to return.

“Beautiful setting typical Dartmoor.”

Beware narrow lanes but that's just Devon. Great location for touring Tors and easy access to beaches to being located only a few miles off the A30.

- Mr Booth, June 2019
“Lovely cottage with particularly nice open plan kitchen-living area.”

Kitchen very well equipped. Bathroom and shower room of modest proportions but adequate. Would certainly stay again.

- Mrs Underhill, April 2019
“The cottage was generally clean and tidy, bedding and towels very good but there were cobwebs in every room, under the kitchen table and from ceilings and windows.”

This did not affect our stay but a little more attention to the cleaning detail would have resulted in 10/10

- Mr Thorpe, October 2018
“This was a real gem of a place.”

Comfortable and relaxing, with everything you could need, right at your fingertips. We all had a really lovely weekend and could quite easily have stayed longer. Just over an hour to the Eden Project and virtually on the door step of the Dartmoor National Park, it was an idea base to travel from....but, could quite have easily just enjoyed this place without travelling anywhere else. Wish could have stayed longer.

- Mr Woolley, September 2018
“The week I spent at Chilvery Farm was fabulous.”

Incredible cottage,grounds and location. The main room was great with just every comfort . Fantastic kitchen area with a wonderful farmhouse table and dresser. Living area has a wood burner in a large open fireplace, every evening was so relaxing. I spent periods of time in the conservatory,watched fantastic sunrises and a wonderful view across the valley. Extremely useful lobby for boots and coats. Beautiful carved bannister and other family touches in the cottage which makes the cottage a real home. There is only a very small patio garden attached to the house ,however, it is so pretty,sunny and private. Just a few steps out around a corner is a major ,pretty path down to a magnificent,large field with wonderful oak trees and pond,beautifully kept . I loved this walk every morning and evening,so peaceful and even places to sit , great for picnics. A wonderful cottage for dogs and walking gear as useful lobby ,conservatory and patio area. Parking is on drive outside the cottage off the road,I can recommend backing into the drive . Chilvery Farm is so peaceful,great location for accessing Dartmoor, where I walked most days. There isn't a shop or a pub within walking distance,however, Northmore Arms at Wonsom is 5 mins drive and a truly unspoilt ,magnificent old cider house, just loved this place with friendly residents,dog friendly. Shops at Chagford again very friendly and most places accepting of dogs. Wonderful Post Office and shop at South Zeal. I would love to return to this cottage and location.

- Mrs Ross, September 2018
“Lovely well equiped cottage.”

Comfortable and homely. Good location for many things to see and do in Devon.

- Mrs Bartley, August 2018
“Lovely cottage with a well equipped kitchen.”

All the rooms were spacious yet cozy. The outside courtyard was perfect for breakfast and birdwatching. A welcoming place to come back to after a day on the stunning north coast and walking on the moors. Lots of interesting villages nearby. unfortunately no pubs or shop within walking distance. Not a lot of outside space for a larger dog but would work well for a smaller dog. We really enjoyed our holiday. Thankyou.:)
