Lychgate cottage 12th-19th Aug

Lovely, well presented little cottage with all essential things you need to make your stay as easy and comfortable as possible. A home from home and Chittlehampton is a lovely area and the people are too. Not too far a drive to barnstaple or to most of the beaches so is a good location. Would definitely recommend and would definitely consider returning in the future!!
