About this property
This cosy cottage is attached to an old chapel in the heart of Welcombe hamlet, 1½ miles from Welcombe Mouth. Head down the steps to the porch into a hall where you can leave your boots and coats, and then through to the big country-style kitchen with its lovely traditional beams, Rayburn and dining area. The sitting room is another cosy room where you can snuggle up beside the wood burning stove. Head on up to your four bedrooms where you will sleep peacefully after exploring the lovely unspoiled scenery all around. You have a sunny little bench to sit out and enjoy a morning coffee in your little enclosed garden. Theres no need to cook at this cottage unless you want to, since the ancient thatched pub which serves up excellent food is just 100 yards from the door. You may have worked up an appetite by walking down the valley to the cove or you can just drive down and park by the beach. If you are an experienced surfer this is a great beach to hone your skills, or just enjoy sitting quietly on the beach which is sheltered between picturesque high cliffs. The South West Coast Path passes by, leading you to Hartland and dramatic views, as well as providing great bird watching opportunities. With the good pub and an interesting beach so close, Chapel Cottage is a welcoming base for unwinding.
A pretty country village just one mile from the high cliffs, rocky coves and golden sands of the north Devon/Cornwall coast, as well as the beach at Welcombe Mouth with its sand, rocks, and some fabulous waves to ride.

Has everything you may need to enjoy your stay - regardless of the season in the year. Peaceful setting in wonderful rural area with easy access to localality - the area is steeped in 'history'. Well done to the owners for being so thoughtful with their precious cottage !

The cottage was very quaint and very well-equipped. It was very charming. Great locations next to a good pub/restaurant and some nice if not steep walks to the sea within easy reach. There were only two of us on our stay so had flexibility on what bedrooms to use in a four-bedroom cottage. Our first night was spent in the larger bedroom, however, we both found the mattress fairly poor so switched to a smaller bedroom with a better mattress. Not an issue for us (as used the main bathroom), but worth pointing out that the shower screen in the ensuite was stuck so could not use the shower.

Location is great for walks and also down to the Mouth , it's a stunning walk but worth it when you see the views of the coastline. Need I say more when it's a stones throw to the pub!. Chapel cottage has everything, nicely furnished and the beds are so comfy and 2 bathrooms helps with children. Thanks and hope to visit again. Andrew , Thame Oxon...
