A little bit of history…
The Chantry originally dates back to 1490 and was doubled in size in 1933. It was listed Grade 2 in 1955 being of historical importance but upgraded to Grade 1 in the 1990s.
The Chantry has been my family home since 1973 and is where I have grown up; it has many happy memories for me. This home is a labour of love, having been part of my ‘family’ for so long; and like any old relative, needs time and rather a lot of “TLC”. There is always a job which needs doing, so we’re not perfect…just comfortable. Everyone who stays, whether family, old friends or new, have always felt relaxed here. There is a restfulness that envelops you and it gives people a chance to relax, unwind and be at peace.
Our letting rooms are in the “new wing” with breakfast being served in the dining room which was the kitchen and scullery of the original house. This room has a large inglenook fireplace and bread oven and is heavily beamed.
Situated within an acre of garden and grounds with a well, we are a home from home; comfort and relaxation is utmost. We have a secluded garden & patio for the summer months, an open fire & wood burner for the cooler ones.
The Chantry provides a sanctuary for anyone who stays. Over the centuries the house has provided security, sanctuary and a warm welcome for everyone; we continue to assure the same as well as a comfortable stay at our little piece of heaven in Devon.
