CROYDE CHUGGS CHILL OUT

CHUGGS COTTAGE – PROPERTY OVERVIEW

Welcome to Chuggs Cottage, a characterful 2-bedroom thatched retreat, brimming with personality and perfect for a peaceful coastal break. Set within its own delightful garden sanctuary – complete with a fire pit, BBQ, and the option to hire a traditional cedar hot tub – this charming property is ideal for winding down after a day of exploring North Devon’s stunning coastline.

Conveniently located just a short stroll from the heart of Croyde, Chuggs Cottage offers families the chance to experience a slice of traditional village life, with a coastal twist. Once part of the original 18th-century Chuggs Farm, the cottage has been lovingly restored, blending rustic features with modern comforts to create a truly memorable stay.

From low beams and solid wood doors to a beautiful stone fireplace with an original bread oven, driftwood handrails, and a state-of-the-art electric AGA, every element has been thoughtfully chosen. The addition of hand-painted murals by local artist Steve P.P. and carefully curated coastal décor only enhance the atmosphere of laid-back seaside charm.

Chuggs Cottage isn’t just a place to stay – it’s an experience, where comfort meets character and history gently lingers in every detail.

LIVING AREA

The open-plan living/dining space is both welcoming and versatile, offering plenty of seating and a dining area for up to five guests. A smart TV and selection of games provide entertainment, while the impressive stone fireplace – complete with feature log burner (not in use) and original bread oven – serves as a lovely focal point for cosy evenings in.

KITCHEN

The kitchen has been carefully designed with both form and function in mind. Featuring a modern electric Total Control AGA, precision hot plates, a sleek Smeg fridge/freezer, and a dishwasher, you’ll find everything you need for a seamless cooking experience. A full range of high-quality pots and pans invites you to cook at your leisure, whether whipping up a light breakfast or a family dinner.
