Great location for exploring the North Devon coast and Exmoor. The cottage is warm and comfortable and has everything you need to self cater. The enclosed garden and patio were ideal for our dog to potter around safely. However, the cottage could maybe do with a little more time spent on the cleaning and updating some of the kitchen equipment. The Vodafone WiFi didn't work on our last day but that could have been because of the storm.

Nice area to stay however the cottage is very dated and bits are not like the pictures that advertise it. I understand that cobwebs and dust appear overnight but things had not been cleaned (judging by mirror in bedroom) and bedcovers very dated. Tv to high on wall to watch in low down sofas and boxes just balanced on small bookcase with wood placed underneath. I feel that maybe if people renting these places stayed in them themselves they would understand. It suited our needs as we were out all day and eat out. However if anyone just wanted to stay in it needs some updating.

Lovely equipped cottage in quiet surroundings, great enclosed outside space for our dog, perfect location to relax after days out exploring the beautiful coastlines, beaches, towns, harbours and tourist attractions of north Devon. Excellent communication and relaxed manner throughout our stay from the host. Will definitely return and use Chapel Cottage again.
