  Wow! What a lovely cozy completely refurbished cottage with all our needs catered for.

  We originally wanted a cottage with a real fire but we both loved the real like electric fire and decided it was better without the hassle of making it up after long walks bagging tors. The kitchen was more than fully equipped and everything was very good quality as the owners have a real detail for providing the best. The garden was lovely with the seating area but too cold for us to use but be lovely in the summer. Big spacious bedrooms with large king size beds and one en suite and even though we were almost on the Main Street it was very quiet. We loved the location being in the centre of Chagford with a good selection of artisan shops and being opposite Blacks the most amazing deli where we bought soups and cakes for our walks and three really lovely food pubs - The Three Crowns, The Globe and our favourite The Chagford Inn. We also recommend breakfast in The Old Forge Cafe. There’s an excellent wine shop selling local beer and cider and a bakery, greengrocers and butchers. We particularly loved the bell ringing on Tuesday evening for 90 minutes. We also managed to park on the street for free. We notice from the visitors book that many people stay for a second time and we can see why! Thank you to our hosts for making such a wonderful holiday stay

  A fabulous property in such a convenient location for visiting many of the south Devon resorts and places of interest.

  Lots of local amenities in Chudleigh and a lovely gift shop, 'Dandelion', in the main street. Old Anvil Cottage has been converted to a very high spec, with top quality furnishings and the beds were so comfortable. Particularly loved the chandelier in the lounge - what a statement piece! The kitchen had everything you might need and more and the lovely welcome pack was much appreciated. The garden was perfect for sitting in the late afternoon sun with a G&T after a busy day out. We had a bit of a problem with the WiFi but after a quick call to Sykes, with a very prompt response, and very speedy emails from the owner, it was quickly sorted. We had a lovely week and would recommend this cottage very highly.

  A very well designed & comfortable cottage in an excellent position.

  It is quite cosy downstairs, as we discovered when two friends joined us for a couple of days, but the bedrooms were spacious and the extra bathroom was very welcome. Parking in the nearby car park was no problem - and we were relieved to find that was space to unload/load outside for 30 minutes. An issue with a missing frying pan was swiftly resolved by the housekeeper & owner (although we later noticed that only one of the provided saucepans worked on the induction hob). But given the tight dining space (a table with foldaway chairs might help), it’s probably better to plan to eat out at one of the many nearby pubs in Chagford. Overall a lovely place to stay.

  This is our second stay at Foxhat, and I've lost count of the times we've stayed on Dartmoor.

  Foxhat is perfect for us as we absolutely love Chagford! Such a friendly village. We've stayed in a few properties through Helpful Holidays/Sykes. Thoroughly recommend this accommodation. It's so clean and comfortable. Plenty of hot water and a good night's rest in the lovely large bed! Check out The Globe for amazing food and a warm welcome from Mary, Graham and Nick and The Three Crowns too. Breakfast at Folklore is amazing! Such beautiful walks directly from the cottage door, over to Fingle Bridge and Castle Drogo. Plenty of parking in the main carpark and so cheap. Can't fault anything! We always return every year, so will be back again next spring.

  The location is absolutely stunning, with the right amount of facilities and amenities.

  The only thing that would have been helpful would have been a small on-site shop to buy essentials, but that's a minor point. The facilities for families was great, but the site still stayed quiet and private - the balance was perfect. Would have been great to have earlier / later options for the pool, but I get that there are reasons why that's not viable. The accommodation was wonderful, and amazingly clean. A bit bright in the mornings as the blinds did not block all the light, but again this is a minor gripe. Overall we felt it was one of the best places we'd stayed in more than 10 years of annually holidaying in Devon.
