Charming very comfortable with everything you could possibly need. The hosts were very helpful, friendly and amusing. The cottage is only a minutes walk from all the various shops and pubs in Chagford and also had an electric charging station.

Arch Cottage is conveniently situated in the centre of beautiful Chagford, a unique & ancient stannary town in the foothills of Dartmoor. The cottage is tucked within the arch behind double gates in the enclosed flowery shared courtyard of Arch House. There is a table & chairs underneath the cascading wisteria, for those al fresco breakfasts. Full of books, pictures & ancient Persian rugs, comfortable beds, & cosy sofas, Arch Cottage is a little gem. There is parking for one car. One dog is welcomed upon request for which there is a charge . We ask that dogs are kept on leads in the courtyard as this is where cars are parked and although the gates are always kept closed, they are opened for access to the road . We live immediately opposite and have a friendly cat and the occasional free range chicken wandering around, so do not want any unfortunate incidents!
We really enjoy meeting different people , many of whom return year after year. Arch Cottage has been run as a holiday cottage for several decades now and it is lovely to welcome back familiar friends and to meet new ones. Visitors will know that Ivy and Spider, the resident whippets, Radar the cat and Pi the parrot are very much part of the Arch House welcome.
Chagford is famous for its artists and crafts people. Shops, restaurants , cafes and pubs are three minutes walk away. Walking on the wild moors or by the peaceful rivers are all within easy reach, either by car or foot
