“We had a lovely week staying at The Cottage on the Square.”

The cottage is in the perfect location, handy for everything Chagford has to offer. When we arrived the cottage was spotless, cosy and welcoming. We had lots of walks from the cottage and were able to make some lovely meals in the well equipped kitchen. Definitely on our list to return too!

“Such a lovely cottage, so warm and clean.”

Helpful and informative cottage owner Claire. Everything to hand and well laid out. Beds super comfy. Really cosy and perfectly situated in the centre of Chagford, a village we visit once or twice every year. Walks from the door and great food with a warm welcome in The Globe, The Three Crowns and a lovely vibe for breakfast in Folklore Social. Another wonderful stay. Thank you.

- Debbie, October 2024

Thank you Debbie for your kind words. We really appreciate you taking the time to do this and are so glad you had such a good time. It sounds like you love Chagford as much as we do. We do hope you will stay again Property Owner

“A lovely cottage at the heart of Chagford.”

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The owners have created a calm and relaxing space with comfortable beds, well equipped kitchen, lovely bathroom and a great private little garden to enjoy. We loved that everything that Chagford has to offer, is right there on the doorstep. Delightful!

Laura August 2024

“We had a lovely stay at The Cottage on The Square.”

The cottage was very comfortable with everything there that you may need. It was exceptionally clean, beds were very comfortable and it had the added bonus of a small garden ideal for sitting in during the day and evening. The village location was very nice with a wide variety of independent shops, cafes and pubs whilst larger towns and Dartmoor were within easy reach. Although there was no allocated parking this was not a problem as was able to either park in the parking bays around the square for 2 hours or at one of the two car parks 5 minutes walk away.

- Laura, August 2024

Thank you Laura for your kind words. We are delighted you enjoyed your stay in Dartmoor and at the Cottage, and are pleased you were able to use the garden. Chagford is indeed a great location We would love to welcome you back next year Property Owner

“The Cottage on the Square has been beautifully renovated.”

Very comfortable, fresh and clean. Everything you need for a relaxing break is supplied. The beds, bedding and pillows are of really good quality, .providing a very good nights sleep! The kitchen is a delight, with everything needed for a break away. A bonus is the little garden, so peaceful and again so well looked after. Chagford and all of its amenities are right outside the front door. Fabulous. A wonderful stay. Thank you.

Pauline June 2024

“Superb property in beautiful village.”

Well appointed and spotlessly clean. Rented with the cottage next door for family holiday with my sisters and their husbands. Excellently equipped so that we were able to make some great meals with the local produce, which we ate in the suntrap little garden. Fabulous Deli next door, and village shops selling everything from organic produce to forgotten walking socks. Welcomed by Morris Dancers, Church Bells and birdsong and many excellent walks from the front door. Claire very helpful. Will definitely return despite 800 mile round trip.

- Pauline, June 2024

Thank you Pauline for your kind words. We are so glad you enjoyed your stay and were able to make the most of what Chagford has to offer. You were certainly lucky with the weather and great you could use the garden. We would love to welcome you back in the future Property Owner

Ros May 2024

“The chance to hear the softly chiming church bell every hour, the jackdaws, blackbirds and then the excitement of the swifts returning to the church tower on May 10th.”

Brilliantly positioned to feel completely part of Chagford and benefit from the plethora of friendly shops and eateries literally on the doorstep. A delightful little calm back garden to soak up the sun. Highly recommended.

- Ros, May 2024

Thank you Ros for the lovely description of some of the things in Chagford - it really is a wonderful part of Devon. You were so lucky with the weather and are delighted you had such a good stay. Hopefully you will be back one day Property Owner
Mark April 2024

“A great home from home experience in the quaint village of Chagford,where the locals are very welcoming!”

! This warm cottage is very well equipped, from the crystal whisky glasses to the nicely firm mattresses (one of the few places I’ve stayed at where my back hasn’t ached for days trying to get used to it) and the tasteful decor. There is good communication too from not just the owner (Claire) but even the cleaner advised us of an early entry before 3 whilst en route (great for those that that don’t have a 6 hour drive like ourselves). We would definitely use this as our base when we visit Devon next. Thanks to Claire for our stay!! Mark and Christine Lewis (Southport, Merseyside)

- Mark, April 2024

Thank you so much for taking the time to do the review. Great to hear the beds were comfy and you had no back ache. We are so glad you enjoyed your stay at the Cottage and in Chagford. We hope to welcome you back if you are down in Devon again. Property Owner
Gary April 2024

The cottage has beautiful furnishings, fully equipped modern kitchen and comfortable beds with exceptionally good linen. It is a perfect location within Chagford. Highly recommended.

- Gary, April 2024

Jane March 2024

“A lovely, comfortable cottage in the centre of Chagford.”

Very clean with everything needed available. Beds were very comfortable. A short walk to several excellent pubs and restaurants where we received a warm welcome. We love Chagford and this cottage couldn’t have been in a better position to enjoy the local walks and shops. Highly recommend.

- Jane, March 2024

The property

The Cottage on The Square is an attractive, two-bedroom cottage settled on the town square in Chagford, Devon, within the Dartmoor National Park.

Just paces from shops, pubs, cafes and a beautiful church, this inviting abode sports a stylish interior and is perfect for two couples or family looking to escape to Devon.

Parking can be found in the nearby car park before wandering through the pretty churchyard to reach the property.

Enter into the sitting room and immediately sense the homely feel of the cottage. Two plush sofas and a Smart TV invite you to settle down and enjoy a movie night, or continue through to the kitchen/diner, fabulously appointed with all you could need for a week away.

Toast to a home-cooked meal over the dining table before spending a moment in the rear garden to appreciate the last of the day’s sun.

Climb the stairs to reach two immaculately presented double bedrooms, served by a bathroom where you can relax with a soothing soak or freshen up with a hot shower.

Within a very short walk lies a selection of independent shops, pubs, cafes and restaurants. Stock up on essentials with a visit to the Beehive Farm Shop or browse the home-made and local treats at Blacks Delicatessen, the Fat Mouse Cheese Shop and Beachwood Bakery. Make time to browse in the two art galleries, Artisan craft shop or the book and art shop. A seasonal, open-air swimming pool, tennis courts, and the 13th-century Three Crowns Hotel are among the town's other attractions. There is seemingly always something going on from craft markets, to evening folk music on the church wall to the annual Film Festival. You will be made to feel most welcome.

If you fancy a night away from the kitchen, there is a fine choice of traditional pubs serving hearty food to enjoy after a long walk along the riverbank.

No visit to Dartmoor is complete without a visit to one or more of the many tors, enjoying the views and clambering over the iconic rock formations. From the cottage, an evening climb to the top of Meldon hill will reward you with a beautiful view over Chagford and across to Kes Tor. If you are keen walkers then there are many wonderful routes across Dartmoor to take in.

There are places to visit aplenty, beautiful Fernworthy reservoir and numerous National Trust locations nearby, such as Finch Foundry, Lydford Gorge and Castle Drogo with its extensive gardens. For a day of culture, make your way to Exeter, a city filled with history and art; visit the city’s ancient walls, the Royal Albert Memorial Museum and Exeter Cathedral.

Whether you decide to stay in Chagford or venture further afield, The Cottage on The Square offers the perfect homely base to return to.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £150.
