About the host

Hosted by Miguel Ogilvie

We first came to Chittlehampton with our children in 2008, and unusually for us returned in 2009. Drawn to the village by it's peacefulness, friendliness and general charm, the decision to return was not a difficult one. The award winning local pub was an added bonus, offering great value pub food and an excellent choice of beers and ciders.

When the opportunity came to buy the cottage in 2014, we leapt at the chance and haven't look back since. We spend as much time as we can in the cottage whilst letting it for approximately 28 weeks a year. It really is a great place for a week or just a long weekend.

Why they chose this property

The property had just what we were looking for. It is well appointed, in a Conservation area, just across from the pub and in the shadow of the imposing St Hiertha's church.

We came to view the cottage on a cold wet February day and to say it wasn't at it's best is an understatement. However, some much needed redecoration to the exterior of the property and fitting out with new furniture made all the difference and now it really is a home from home!
