  • Team

    For many years Peter and Fru used to run a very popular Bed and Breakfast up the hill from Chagford. All its inhabitants, two legged and four have moved happily down the hill into the town and into Arch House.
    Running Arch Cottage is a new adventure. It has been great fun furnishing it and welcoming back old guests from the B and B who have loyally stayed with us and meeting new guests.
    Ivy and Spider, the resident whippets are always pleased to be spoilt and to make new friends.
    Pi the African Grey parrot keeps everyone entertained with his uncanny mimicry and exotic calls but mostly lives on the veranda in our garden. Our old cat Skunk likes to lie anywhere in the sun and is happy to be cuddled by anyone.
