 The Old BakehouseSouth Molton Street, Chulmleigh, Devon EX18 7BW Telephone: 01769 580074 Fax: 01769 580074 AA 4 Stars 1999 Winner of England for Excellence award for the best Bed and Breakfast in the West Country

The Saxons came to Chulmleigh in about 815 AD and created a settlement on a clearing in the forest high up above the Little dart and Taw valleys.They chose this site because it was easy to defend and well protected from the weather. It was then a peaceful place set apart from the rest of the world, and today, this description still holds true. The countryside around our town has been designated an 'area of tranquility'. This means that our roads and lanes are largely free from smelly traffic; the air is crystal clear; and the starry night sky really has to be seen to be described!
Our house was built in about 1520 and is reputed to be the most ancient building in Chulmleigh. It belonged originally to generations of wool merchants who gave their wealth to the building of our magnificent parish church of St Mary Magdalene. |

Excellent food is an important part of any stay and we believe in preparing meals to a high standard.
