Chillington

A Devon holiday cottage in Chillington is hard to beat if you want to unwind in a peaceful corner of South Devon, amid miles of unspoilt countryside. This lovely village is just two miles from Devon's South Hams coast, famous for its sandy beaches, rocky coves and picturesque fishing villages. Holiday cottages in Chillington offer visitors the chance to experience life in a traditional Devon community which remains largely untouched by tourism. In the village centre, there’s a post office, butchers, pottery and park. There’s also a stylish pub, the Bear and Blacksmith, which is popular among locals for its coffee and cake before lunch, and pints of local cider and delicious meals, prepared with locally sourced ingredients in the evening. Chillington holiday cottages are perfectly located for taking long strolls along winding country lanes, full of birdsong and wild flowers. Reserve an afternoon for the lovely circular six-mile route from the village to Torcross and Stokenham. The trail meanders through ancient woodland and fields before passing the Torcross Memorial Tank on a particularly idyllic stretch of coast.
