“The Music Room was an absolutely brilliant place to stay for a long weekend away.”

We had a warm welcome and the space is gorgeous. The rain and wind were quickly forgotten when we returned from the coastal path, started the fire, poured a glass of wine and watched a movie on the projector.

“We very much enjoyed our stay, the journey down to Devon was as expected on a Friday; heavy traffic!”

On reaching our destination we were pleased to find our accommodation was more than welcoming: opening the door to a very spacious room with fresh flowers and a cream tea waiting to be enjoyed. We were given a lovely welcome from the owner and were aware that if we needed to ask about anything, she was available to help. The room was beautiful, we were given amazing cooking facilities and we were warm and cosy with background radiators lifting any September chill. It was good to know that the smallholding is being run using all things natural. Thank you for a lovely break

“The location was great.”

The room was fantastic. The weather was brilliant. The people were lovely. Eating out was exceptional. My wife absolutely loved it. Will definitely return here. The coast around us was breathtaking. Highly recommend.

“For us, The Music Room was probably the most beautiful and unique accommodation that we have stayed in and Jo and Nick the perfect hosts, nothing was too much trouble for them and we were made very welcome.”

We gather that the building itself was originally converted to a music room in the 19th century and Jo and Nick have restored and furnished it beautifully. The grounds that it is set in are also stunning and we were encouraged to explore freely and enjoyed meeting their flock of sheep and walking the public foot paths that run through the property. It is an ideal location from which to discover the surrounding inland and coastal villages, towns and resorts but still have total tranquility and to truly hear the birds sing. We highly recommend The Music Room and intend to return in the future.

“The whole experience at Chantry was wonderful.”

The owners were extremely friendly and helpful in every way. The beauty of surroundings and the facilities of the cottage combined to make a most enjoyable experience.
Mr Tong December 2018

“An amazing room and location.”

Expensive but the unique nature of the space, friendly hosts and excellent facilities certainly make it worthwhile. Perfect for a quiet getaway.
Mr Chambers November 2018

“The Music Room was amazing!”

Nick and Jo are great hosts, very friendly and have set up the most comfortable and romantic place. Location is nice and secluded but still easy enough to get to places like Salcombe and Hope Cove within 20 mins by car. The weather wasn’t the best but the log fire, deep couch and projector for movies more than made up for it on a rainy night.
Mrs Godfrey June 2018

“A wonderful place for a relaxing break.”

Would thoroughly recommend.

Chantry Cottages

A mile from Aveton Gifford, 300 yards down a tree-lined track off a lane, four very special places to stay within handsome former farm buildings: an airy converted barn (976186), a barn converted into a gallery (976176) overlooking meadows, a remarkable Grade II listed former music room (976188), and the orginal hayloft The Pottery (976170). A large, pretty, enclosed suntrap courtyard is shared with the friendly owners. Just outside the courtyard, a lawned walled garden (also enclosed) with camellias, fig and walnut trees, leading to another garden with a pond (unfenced) and six grassy acres with a big wildlife pond (fenced), vast lawn for picnics and croquet, a picnic table, benches with intense views and big trees to sit under. Relax, read or just enjoy the silence and let your mind wander. Bright and airy in the summer or cosy as a winter retreat, with wonderful walks from the door and beaches within easy reach. Aveton Gifford: old village (pub, PO/shop) beside the River Avon where it becomes tidal. Within 5 or 6 miles are several villages: Bigbury, Bantham and Thurlestone on an excellent and varied stretch of coast: sandy beaches, coves, cliffs, golf courses, the Avon estuary. The Chantry Cottages are a lovely base for checking out the delights of South Devon's coast and countryside, allowing you to surf, walk, check out rock pools, play golf and make sandcastles to your hearts content. A peaceful, curative oasis, good for taking it easy. Kingsbridge, 4 miles.

The property

The Music Room is a very special conversion of a Grade II listed property.

Once recitals and concerts resonated around the lofty ceiling now it provides magical and unique accommodation for two to enjoy a romantic break.

Head up the steps and through the door to the huge open plan living space which will take your breath away, with colour shining through the big stained glass windows onto the vaulted ceiling and the shiny wooden floor, warmed by rugs and the wood burning stove.

Make your own music on the piano or turn on the home cinema projector and surround sound system, to enjoy an atmospheric movie.

Sleeping arrangements do not come much more romantic than this, with the four-poster bed beautifully arranged on the stage where musicians once performed.

The Music Room is a wonderful retreat for couples.

Note: The Barn can be booked with The Gallery, The Pottery and The Barn and together they can sleep 14.
