This Georgian home in South Devon’s Chillington sits on an acre of land and offers a quintessential rural retreat. Pull on the wellies provided by your host, help yourself to the apples growing in the orchard and cook up a crumble in the country-style kitchen. When it comes to tucking in, groups of more than ten will need to spread across two dining tables – perfect for adults and children looking to chat amongst themselves. The beautifully-appointed bedrooms are spread across three floors, so expect to climb some stairs here. And after an afternoon of croquet in the garden, the group can either socialise together or split off for quiet time thanks to the two welcoming sitting rooms.

Home truths
There's off-road parking for up to four cars.
While some of the bathrooms aren’t photographed, we expect the quality to be consistent with the rest of the home. The master and second bedrooms share a Jack-and-Jill bathroom, as do the fourth and fifth bedrooms. These bedrooms also feature two super king-size zip-and-link bedrooms which can be reconfigured.
Due to this home's remote location, you might find that the phone signal is patchy from time to time.
A cot and high chair are available upon request.
If you're bringing pets along, please do not allow them upstairs or on the furniture. A dog usually lives at this home. He won't be around during your stay, but this means it may not be suitable for people with severe allergies.

Today’s residents are a well-heeled bunch, and in the summer months, you’ll find an equally upscale visiting crowd. Within the South Devon Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, Salcombe is arguably the prettiest...
