The Pump House is an extremely well equipped, quirky one bedroomed accommodation that retains elements of its original use. Set in the beautiful grounds of Chillington Hall, it allows for a quiet and serene getaway. We stayed in February and were treated to a spectacular display of snowdrops. The view from the bedroom allowed us to watch pheasants and birds of prey from the comfort of the large bed. This property is ideal for exploring the local area with walking routes and ample information provided by the hosts to help you plan your activities. A wonderfully presented property that we happily return to.
