Old Anvil Cottage

This is a beautiful modernised cottage.

The accommodation is spotless. Private parking is a bonus too. A great welcome pack and milk in the fridge. We cannot fault this property. This was our 2nd visit and we will be booking again for next year.

Old Anvil Cottage livedd up to our expectations in every way.

The cottage was clean, comfortable and provided an excellent base for us to explore the many places south Devon has to offer. The pubs in the village were friendly and there's a variety of food outlets available. The Co-op being just round the corner is a bonus. I must mention Home Farm Cafe in Parke (Bovey Tracey) as it was very popular and served excellent food and drinks.

Beautifully presented converted skittle hall, with comfortable sofas, and super new kitchen, with all appliances and equipment.

A light and airy apartment feel to the property, slightly less so towards the back. Comfortable beds and choice of duvet tog too! Never used a wet room/ bathroom before; novel experience. Location could be a little noisy at night if not used to living near a town or pub or other people. Chudleigh town is friendly, safe, with everything you need and not far from Exeter, Dartmoor and plenty of historical houses and seaside towns to visit.

Overall the property was good.

There was every appliance and utensil that you could want. Plus we were left a nice bottle of wine and some beautiful roses, plus milk in the fridge to welcome us. There were a couple of issues for us personally that we didn't find easy. As we had seen in a previous review, it was mentioned that the sofa was a bit low and we found it was for us too. We weren't a fan of the wet rooms either, they were a bit messy, the water went everywhere. Also the oven could have done with a clean and the fridge temperature wasn't ideal, we didn't think it was as cold as it should have been, we had milk that went off and it was in plenty of date and we couldn't see any dials to change it. But to be fair a couple of these are a personal taste and that is why we gave a 4 star rating.

A great location right in the heart of this super friendly Devonshire village.

Set back from the high street so quiet and with a sun trap yard. Safe parking, plenty of pubs a Co-op & Spar and 3 takeaways. Countryside walks and hourly bus to Exeter. The house itself has everything provided for your self catering stay, superb modern wet room bathrooms, speedy WiFi and a modern well equipped kitchen. We will definitely return.

Everything about the property was excellent as we expected.

The welcome pack was amongst the best we have seen and the explanation of how to use the heating and household devices was clear and easy to understand. Everything we needed was locally available even down to an artisan bakery selling fresh baked bread in the square, giving the feel of a French village . We are both elderly and we found the very comfortable but very low settees a bit of a struggle to get out of, but we managed. Would we return ? yes . Would we recommend the property to friends ? yes . All in all a great base for a lovely holiday.

This is the second time we have stayed.

Lovely accommodation, everything you could possibly need. Hopefully will be returning again soon.

What an excellent cottage.

Facilities marvellous, superb welcome pack. All on one level, except 5 steps on entry up to lounge so not suitable for those with mobility problems. Bathrooms and kitchen extremely modern with everything you need. Would definitely rebook if visiting the area. Thank you for a lovely stay.

Lovely clean and spacious accommodation which had everything we needed four a four adult stay.

Good central location for visiting nearby coastal resorts. Parking for two vehicles was very helpful. Welcome pack appreciated.

A chilly and wet Easter weekend became a cosy and warm holiday thanks to the comfort and relaxed atmosphere provided by Old Anvil Cottage.

This was our third time there and it never disappoints.

Excellent place to stay in Chudleigh.

Lovely cottage. Very well equipped. Ideal for our purpose, visiting relatives nearby.

Old Anvil Cottage was ideal for us.

Lying just off the A38 meant we could visit the areas we wanted to (East Devon, Exeter and south to Plymouth) really easily, and we also made a trip north to Croyde to meet up with family. Very spacious, clean and really well-equipped, and the welcome pack was much appreciated. As it is in the middle of Chudleigh, you obviously don't have countryside around you, but it was super convenient to stock up at the shop, and a lovely pub within a few minutes walk for an evening meal (The Phoenix)

We had a great stay at Old Anvil Cottage.

It was a lovely, clean and homely cottage. Everything we needed was provided. Chudleigh was a lovely place to stay. We parked the car the day we arrived, and after that we used the buses to go anywhere. The bus stop was really close to cottage. The Phoenix pub was also very close, and Ella, one of the staff was so very helpful, and the food was first class. We will definitely be returning to the Old Anvil Cottage. The best holiday we have had through Sykes holiday.

The accommodation was first class, very clean and comfortable.

The welcome pack (complete with a bottle of wine) was very thoughtfull and much appreciated.

Absolutely fabulous.

One of the best properties we have stayed in and certainly the best equipped. The location was fantastic - the only thing lacking was a view but the nearby countryside, forests, and close proximity to the coast, Dartmouth and towns and cities more than made up for it. Friendly and helpful locals. Perfect in every way.

This home was so perfect.

To elaborate the cottage had little touches that a lot of other places we have stayed in did not. Such a well equipped kitchen; flowers on arrival; all of the basics tea coffee etc and more. Full size bath sheets and mirrors where women need them. The space was so big airy and pretty as well as being so quiet and near to the lovely town and pubs, groceries and great coffee shops. All the sites and seaside towns are so close and its the best location we have ever stayed at. Thank you x PS Great hosts

We had an enjoyable break and couldn't really fault the weather.

Cottage is ideally located . Nowhere too far away. Welcome pack appreciated.

Second time in this lovely cottage, lovely welcome pack.

Chudleigh is a great base, close to other places. We hope to be back next year. There is always somewhere new to visit. Did the Buckfastleigh to Totnes steam train.

Very nicely decorated, good quiet location, near to places of interest A few steps to get into the property Good supply of cooking utensils, crockery etc

The first impressions on entering any holiday home sets the tone for the holiday.

This holiday home was the perfect start, well equipped, very clean and welcoming. The comfort amd seating was perfect. The location is perfect for exploring the area with good access to the main roads. Never used the TV during our stay as there was so much to do in the area.

Was welcomed by a fab welcoming pack so many thanks for that , cottage was clean , well equipped and was great to use local facilities also found locals very friendly and helpful would definitely use again if wanting to stay in this area .

Lovely cottage.

Comfortable beds. Great kitchen with lots of tools, cutlery, crockery etc. Big TV. Spacious open planned Kitchen/diner/lounge area. Showers with great power (Wet rooms take a bit of getting used to, but, were fine) Safe off road car parking spaces. We were unlucky with the internet which was down most of our week (not the owners fault!) We bought a data package which was fine. We would definitely return and would recommend this holiday accommodation to others.

One of the best cottages we've stayed in over the past 30 odd years!

Great to have 2 wet rooms one with a bath plus an extra loo. Warm, well equipped and right in the middle of Chudleigh, but very quiet. A very good Co-op round the corner, and The Phoenix pub/bistro does excellent food, reasonably priced. Highly recommended. Bus 38 to Exeter/ Newton Abbott/ Buckfastleigh etc.

Great place to stay.

Well equipped. Location and access to main roads is great.

If you don't want to be miles from anywhere then Old Anvil Cottage is in a perfect location.

Chudleigh is a lovely village, and the cottage itself is beautiful, easy to get to and a parking space big enough for two cars, perfect. Also would like to thank the owner for all the instruction manuals for cooker, tv etc, something that is sadly lacking in a lot of properties. A generous welcome pack was a nice touch as were the flowers. All in all a lovely week.

We had a great week in this lovely cottage.

Very clean and the information provided in the book was helpful. Thoughtful welcome pack was a nice touch. Great base for visiting Teignmouth, Torquay, Paignton, Bovey Tracey, Newton Abbot. Would recommend this cottage.

Pros - Nice well equipped property.

Central location for visiting attractions. Welcome pack greatly appreciated. Instructions very clear on finding the property. Cons - Not a fan of the wet room shower set up, having to clean up floor after every use and also not having a grab rail for people who are not very steady on their feet. Also no towel rails for drying towels, had to put over door. Chudleigh only has one pub that does food not several as stated in description, and you have to book to ensure a table at busy times. There are two pubs that just do drinks and three takeaways, Chinese, pizza and fish and chips.

We had a most enjoyable stay at this property.

It was an home from home.

Had a lovely stay at the cottage , liked the wet rooms The wi fi did play up sometimes but managed .

There was a lot of dust under the bed in the main room . The cooker hood was a little greasy .

A lovely comfortable cottage, very well equipped in a great location, convenient for local shops, pubs, takeaways and bus stop.

2 parking spaces, nice terrace area. Suited our needs perfectly.

My parents live in Chudleigh and we wanted something close to them.

We feel very fortunate to have found Anville Cottage and had a very comfortable stay. The listing is 100% accurate having everything you need to make your stay feel like you are in your home, away from home. It has everything you need to cook but it’s location really is in the heart of Chudleigh with its own private parking and a short walk to the supermarkets and great restaurants. The Phoenix restaurant is a must as are the takeaway restaurants if you don’t want to cook. We are very much looking forward to our return visit in January which is already booked. Thank you

One of the best aspects of the property is the fact that it’s not sited on a road so there is no passing traffic.

This means it was a very quiet and tranquil place to be after a stressful period in my life. Parking was easy and always accessible for the property. Internally the property is first class. Fresh Flowers, coffee pods and milk in the fridge was a very thoughtful welcome. The property is ideally situated for cycling, walks in Dartmoor, coastal walks and National Trust properties.

A brilliant property, extremely well equipped and furnished to a high standard.

The owners clearly spared no expense in the conversion. The best holiday let I have had. It’s also very quiet, positioned close to local amenities and handy for visitors to reach the South Coast resorts and Dartmoor. I’d love to visit this place again.

Well-appointed cottage in very good order.

Excellent facilities with good parking. Easy access to A38

A fabulous property in such a convenient location for visiting many of the south Devon resorts and places of interest.

Lots of local amenities in Chudleigh and a lovely gift shop, 'Dandelion', in the main street. Old Anvil Cottage has been converted to a very high spec, with top quality furnishings and the beds were so comfortable. Particularly loved the chandelier in the lounge - what a statement piece! The kitchen had everything you might need and more and the lovely welcome pack was much appreciated. The garden was perfect for sitting in the late afternoon sun with a G&T after a busy day out. We had a bit of a problem with the WiFi but after a quick call to Sykes, with a very prompt response, and very speedy emails from the owner, it was quickly sorted. We had a lovely week and would recommend this cottage very highly.

Had a great week in spite of the indifferent weather.

A beautiful cottage very well equipped and comfortable. A good location for visiting many locations in South Devon area. Thank you

Lovely, comfortable cottage with everything we needed and situated in the heart of the village with shops, restaurant and pubs only a few minutes away.

Would certainly recommend this property.

Exactly what it said on the tin!

A beautifully presented cottage, spotlessly clean and very comfortable. It made an ideal base for exploring Devon. We would happily recommend it.

An exceptionally well presented and modern, contemporary cottage in a wonderful location.

The attention to detail is beyond belief! Definitely the most impressive holiday let that we have ever rented. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it to anyone and will definitely book again next year.

Excellent modern update of an old cottage .

No expense spared. Minor complaints only.Tea coffee& Biscuit supplies appreciated but let down by out of date milk in fridge & bouquet of dead daffodils on worktop. Curious lack of toilet brushes.

This is a beautiful cottage with a great attention to detail.

Very clean and everything you would need in a kitchen. Lovely open plan living space with comfortable furnishings and so many different lighting options. Loved the bubble pics on the wall, We struggled a bit with Chudleigh for food at the weekend at the pubs were closed Sunday through to Monday/Tuesday. The local spar did fabulous posh ready meals, so worth a visit. Enjoyable stay and would recommend the cottage.

This was a great cottage, excellent facilities with a high-spec kitchen and everything you could have wanted.

We loved the open-plan living space, which worked really well and the location was excellent for exploring the area. Chudleigh itself was small but had all of the amenities you would need. The local pubs were great, everyone was friendly and welcoming, and we ate locally at the Phoenix, which was definitely worth the visit, the food was excellent. Would definitely recommend this place as a great base.

Well maintained, clean, comfortable with very good facilities

An excellent property in a lovely village.

The cottage is very well kept and had everything we wanted, we could have not asked for more.

A great place to stay - very convenient for shops and amenities.

The cottage was excellent and had everything which was required.

It was also set in a village which had all the amenities which was required .It was also central to all places to visit .

Anvil cottage is a wonderful place to stay, extremely comfortable, very modern which I like and central to all towns and other places to visit.

Very comfortable cottage.

Would recommend it for a relaxing break. Cottage was clean and well equipped. Owner was exceptionally helpful.

Fantastic place to stay clean and tidy, very spacious with top of the range facilities seems no expense spared.

Nice welcoming pack. Good to be able to park right outside the door. This is a new let and the only thing I could recommend is some screening on the railings for a little more privacy. But would definitely stay here again.
