The Old Bakehouse

The Old Bakehouse, Chulmleigh, Devon

The Old Bakehouse, 9K

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 tranquillity'. 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.

Our bread and cakes are all baked in house. We are also able to cater for special diets by prior arrangement. Locally made ciders and real ales as well as a comprehensive range of wines are available.

We welcome well behaved children over 5 years old. However, we regret we cannot take pets. Our house is smoke free throughout. .
