Shallow steps lead to the patio and front door and as you step inside the hallway of this beautifully decorated chalet you’ll be navigated through to the spacious lounge and dining area. Let sleeping dogs lie in front of the electric wood burner while you relax and take in spectacular countryside views from the cosy lounge or head into the spectacular triple aspect dining space for a romantic meal.

We had a very relaxing time and the views and tranquil area was perfect for a well earned rest. The village was lovely and the people. We would definitely book again in our future.

Beautiful chalet in an amazing location/. The Forda Hill Chalet was the ideal getaway for a long weekend on the North Devon Coast. The chalet was exceptionally clean & beautifully furnished & ideal for a couple looking to escape in a beautiful part of the world. The chalet is ideally located meaning you can walk to Croyde & Putsborough beaches & Read moretwo great pubs in the village as well, the Kings Arms especially is worth a visit. The hot tub was a great way to relax at the end of a day of hiking or jumping through the surf all day. I would highly recommend this place to stay & would return myself Hide
