A comfortable and very interesting stay. Everything was in place when we arrived and we enjoyed the quirkiness of the chapel setting. Unfortunately the weather was not so good so we didn't spend so much time the garden and using the facilities there as we would have liked. We encountered one problem which we reported to the caretaker and her responRead morese was excellent. Although she was unable to remedy the problem whilst we were there, she kept us informed about what was happening and we became used to a darker kitchen because to the non operating blind! I would recommend this holiday property which offers comfort, wonderful views and every facility. Hide

We had a week in Dove Chapel cottage and felt very at home there. It was clean and well equipped. The beds were extremely comfortable. The garden was secure for our 2 cocker spaniels and the views from the back of the property were amazing. The cottage was well situated for coastal walks and beaches.

The view of the estuary is hypnotising. Dove chapel is very comfortable and stylish too. The enclosed garden was perfect for our elderly labrador. Lovely quality bed linen, great facilities and a welcome pack was a nice surprise

Dove Cottage is a lovely and very well equipped base for exploring north Devon and the coast. The views are stunning and the house is really comfortable with great beds! There is so much to explore locally and lots of great beaches - we loved Saunton Sands - and there are games, a garden and fussball table to keep everyone well entertained at the hRead moreouse. We would definitely return. Hide

We loved this place. Stunning views from the lounge. The whole place had a restful feel. It was spacious and extremely clean and well cared for. We were a little worried about the proximity to the road and road side parking but we neednt have worried. Locals use the road as a cut through instead of the main road but this was only noticeable at rushRead more hour. Marwell Hill Garden was less than 2 miles away and was an amazing find. We all loved it - grown ups and children. Hide

We loved Dove Chapel. Stunning conversion, all mod cons and comfort. The view is outstanding. I think the biggest compliment is that we felt "at home" from the first evening.

Excellent place to stay, great location. The property was ideal for 4 of us and my parents. The bedroom and bathroom downstairs was perfect for my parents. Very well equipped kitchen. Beautiful views. Very clean and lovely decor. Enclosed garden was great, and use of BBQ and body boards was a bonus too. Overall a great place to stay.
