Chulmleigh is a picturesque village perched on a hill in the heart of the Devon countryside with panoramic views across the rolling hills and woodlands. The village itself has everything you need; from a convenience store, greengrocers and buchers to an Indian restaurant, Bistro and 3 cosy bars to choose from.
There are many activities and leisure facilities close by to ensure you have a fantastic holiday including fishing, walking, horse riding and golf. There is easy access to Crediton and Barnstaple just a 20 minute drive away and a further 10 minutes will take you to either the historic town of Exeter or the dramatic North Devon Coast.
Chulmleigh has one of the finest short 18 hole golf courses with views across the peaks of Dartmoor, the thatched cottages and Village Church with its beautiful tower. Or, why not take in the beautiful Devon countryside on horseback at Bold Try Equestrian Centre, or help you improve your riding skills in the outdoor school. The Chulmleigh link of the Tarka Trail is close by while the Little Dart Ridge, Valley Walk and Two Moors Way, are part of the national long distance footpath network.
The Little Dart River, runs through Chulmleigh and keen birdwatchers can spot herons, kingfishers, cormorants, goosanders and dippers. In the summer months chiffchaffs, tree creepers and wood pigeons are abundant in the woods, whilst wrens and yellowhammers nest in the hedgerows. The soaring buzzard prefers the wooded areas and open fields. Or why not try a spot of fishing? Salmon, sea trout and brown trout can all be caught in the Little Dart plus there are also several coarse fishing lakes in the vicinity.
Located in the centre of Devon, Chulmleigh is perfectly situated to reach both Exmoor and Dartmoor and the golden beaches of the North and South Coast.
In September 2008 South Devon is hosting a walking festival with a wide variety of activities taking place. For more information on the festival please see http://www.southdevonwalkingfestival.co.uk/.

A beautiful period barn conversion that has been sympathetically converted to provide a tasteful and unique holiday home. Cider Barn has retained many original features and has high quality furniture, kitchens and bathrooms that are in keeping with the age of the property.Original beamed, vaulted ceilings with galleried features create a light, airy and spacious feeling whilst ‘wood burning’ stoves in each cottage also make them an appealing rural retreat for cosy winter breaks.
All cottages have natural slate flagstones throughout ground floors while the upper floors all have solid oak flooring. All doors and window frames are attractive solid timber and many windows have deep window seats and most look out over fields and farmlands.
Under floor heating and hot water is provided by a ‘ground source heat pump’, an eco friendly “green” system. Waste water is cleansed and disposed of through a special water treatment plant.
The Cider Barn has a double connecting door opening into its neighbouring cottage, Old Dairy, so that they may be booked together for larger groups. These doors will be securely locked if not requested.
The Park Mill Farm cottages are situated in a magical riverside setting with 20 acres of lush fields, woods and parkland where you are free to roam along with the abundant wildlife.
"A beautiful and tranquil holiday was improved by staying in Cider Barn - a stunning and sympathetically rendered restoration. We'd recommend the property to our friends and will be returning." Abby Taylor, Take a Break Magazine, June 09.
